@ denotes a person, so my Twitter name is
@gillersn
*By using @ and a name you are effectively sending
your tweet to that person.
*To tweet the Masterchef twitter account, I would
send:
@Masterchef_uk please publish the invention test
recipes!

*The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to
mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was
created organically by Twitter users as a
way to categorize messages.

*To be involved in the Masterchef discussion but

learners”
instead think
“how can I make this work for me and
my learners?”

on the ability of educators and
trainers to tutor and support learners
online than on the technology itself.”
Dr. Ian Heywood, Birmingham, England.

next decade and beyond,
broadband infrastructure will
be as relevant to economic
progress as roads and
transportation, including
effective rail and air links”.
