Anita Pincas at Anita Pincas Hi all,

please take a look at my collection of music apps for learning and teaching, with a teachers' corner, at
http://musicappsforlearning.weebly.com/
There's a general blog, and a special forum on most pages to discuss
specific items.

I'd love to get your input.

thanks

Because of Twitter:
•I landed a job worth $2K+
•I “met” Ed Tech Crew Podcaster Tony Richards and was interviewed on their educational technology podcast
•I have connected with many educators in my niche area (music education)
•I have a group of experts on hand to answer any question I have about…anything
•I keep up with what’s going on in music, education and technology
•I’ve driven traffic to my website, my blog, my Youtube channel
Anatomy of the Twitter page
Place to write your update
Updates of people you follow (most recent at top)
Right side-bar: your own info, etc

Profile page
> Settings
Broaden your reach (find and gain more followers)
•You post an update and include a hashtag = it’s read by your followers AND anyone who is keeping track of the hashtag you added
•Hashtags can be used for conferences (ie. #mtec2011 – conference), tv shows (#masterchef), subject areas (#musiced), running jokes (#annoyingsongsmykidslike)
•Take note of the hashtags others are using, or make your own!
Chat sessions (#musedchat #edchat)
a group of educators all tweet at an agreed time on a specific given topic.
