Setting Up Your Twitter Account
Introduction to Twitter for Educators Last week I introduced my "teacher students" to Twitter by asking what it was. The first answer was that it lets people know what you are doing during the day. While that is an excellent answer for a teacher who knows that is what students use it for it is also an amazing way to find out useful information for helping the teacher in the classroom. Here are tips to set up your Twitter account. Here is an amazing list of teachers to follow on Twitter broken down into different subjects. A few tips I would add of my own are that it is nice when you can quickly go through the Tweets. I use TweetDeck which I embed in my igoogle account. Also before you add someone you can look through their Tweets to see if they use it on a regular basis and whether you like their tips. Finally if you want to follow me go to "kenhalla."
