Over the course of the last few weeks, we have learned about several technologies, many of which were new to me. These include personal web pages, Facebook Fan pages, Twitter, PearlTrees, and, blogging. I think all of these have the potential to be used in my profession of coaching in some manner. I see the biggest links with the webpage and Twitter. The webpage allows fans (and others) to keep track of information about the team such as the roster, stats, schedule, and even watch live game footage as can be done with the FPU athletics page. A webpage can also be used internally to communicate information to the team and even post videos and footage or team resources. Twitter is being used by many coaches to keep a social presence amongst fans. Updates about the game, acknowledgement of fans and support, or even big announcements are a few other ways that the use of Twitter has been integrated into coaching.
