10 steps for Educators new to twitter
The following was prepared by Joey Estes for
a parent technology night.

17. Twitter is a Cool Tool
•
By joining Twitter, you can connect with people all over the world
about things that interest you.
•
Imagine having literally thousands of people to bounce ideas off of,
share best practices, and to give you recommendations for your
next good read.
•
All information is shared via 140 characters or less.

18. Time to Join!
•
Once you have decided that Twitter is something you would like to
explore, go to the website and sign up for an account. It’s free!

19. Following
•
Once you have joined, you will need to find
people to follow.
•
This means that you find people who have
the same interests as you, or people you
find interesting.
•
Maybe you want to know what
Time magazine has to say.
•
Or maybe your kids are interested in
Justin Bieber.

20. Now it’s time to interact.
•
Anytime you see the @ sign in front of a name, it is like someone is talking to or
about that person directly.

21. Links
•
You will often see a link that is a small jumble of letters and numbers. This is a smaller link
taking the place of a super long link.
•
The real link looks like this: http://www.boston.com/community/groups.html?

particular subject.
