It’s interesting that several comments were made about not using twitter [yet]. It seems like younger genrations catch on to a trend and then later genrations. This was seen with facebook too. It began a college age network system, then younger generations started using it, then older. I think the same trend is happening with twitter. Right now it might not seem huge, but the younger generations are catching on. If educators can use these icons that associate twitter, it might just grab attention from students, and maybe even gain social respect for being a part of this genrations networking communcation.

Mr. Grant,
I am the type of person that always is looking for new and creative things to do with technology. As a future educator I can definitly see myself usng these icons in my classroom. I want to be able to create a presentation and have my students plugged in at the very start of it. I think that these icons are just the ticket. I love the fact that right off the bat they catch your eye and I even found myself curious of what they could do and what they were. I am not on Twitter, but if I was doing a presentation about I would use the cute little birds. I look forward to playing around with these icons a bit more in the futrue.

This is so fun! As a teacher, I’m constantly looking through ClipArt for creative images to post on handouts, take home notes, and such. I love the vivid colors in these icons. This would be fabulous to use in presentations in class. Thanks for sharing!

This post was interesting to me. It is often difficult to find good icons to include in presentations and projects. These icons are indeed well created and look fun and professional at the same time. I am looking forward to using these links and others I may discover through using these in the future!

As a future educator, these icons are exciting to me. Students are always struggling to pay attention at times and it’s my job as an educator to try and prevent that from happening as much as possible. These icons are not only cute but attention holding and warrent a attentive response for a few seconds. Thank you for sharing them. I know I will consider using them in my next lecture to students.

I agree with Cassie that these icons are quite endearing and eye-catching. Since I just read the artcle on making a good Powerpoint presentation, I can see how the eye would be drawn to icons if used or placed properly. I think I will enjoy experimenting with them (especially since they are free) in some of my own presentations at school. I’m not “into” twittering yet, but who knows?

I really enjoyed reading this page because I found the information useful. As an educator, I am trying to incorporate more lessons that involve technology. Therefore, I am creating Power Point presentations that my class can view. I would like to incorporate these icons because they are cute. Also, you mentioned that these icons were fun. I believe that my students would enjoy seeing these types of icons on my Power Point slides, especially during Social Studies class. I liked that these icons were free. In my graduate class, we have been studying copyright laws. Therefore, I have been cautious about the material I get from the internet. I liked that you provided free icons that can be incorporated into several presentations.
