This document outlines a session on using Twitter. It begins with an introductory video explaining Twitter and discusses how Twitter is often seen as trivial. However, Twitter can be useful for professional development by allowing users to follow colleagues, experts in their field, and get immediate updates. The session then has participants create Twitter accounts and try tweeting with hashtags. Advice or "twips" are provided on following others, using tools like Tweetdeck to filter tweets, and finding trending topics. The session concludes with participants trying features like retweeting and discussing potential professional and community uses of Twitter at their university.

Ray Jimenez - How to Create No-Lecture Webinars - Presented by Training Magaz...VFTNetworks
Webinars are great. They save time and accelerate learning.
However, boring lectures kill webinars. Most webinars are extensions of talking heads clicking their PowerPoints to death. No wonder many learners multi-task and drop out.
In this webinar Ray will share both proven and test methods and tactics to avoid 100% Lecture webinars and truly engage your learners in stimulating and mind-capturing learning experiences.
Topics to cover:
* How to avoid the trainer "diarrhea of the mouth disease"
* How to prepare your lessons to focus on learner actions
* What types of pre-webinar and post-webinar activities must take place
* Designing your lessons without lecturing but instead letting learners discover
* How to ask questions that help learners discover answers
* Which exercises deliver learning experiences instead of lectures

Published in Library & Information Update (p.39-41). CILIP June 2010
Time for strategy: Ken was the keynote speaker at the 2011 National Acquisitions Group (NAG) conference in Manchester on 7th September. Libraries in all sectors face the challenge of relentless, disruptive, technology-driven change and tough economic times. Libraries are under pressure and there is a risk that decisions are made without an appreciation of their strategic importance. This is a good time then to look at some approaches to strategy, differentiating it from ‘mission’ and looking at business models.

5. Video Debrief: Twitter in Plain English What did you think? What we think: Explains concept well, BUT... Highlights “trivial” potential of Twitter... as also illustrated in this viral cartoon...
13. Twips (Twitter Tips)... No “right” way to use Twitter Twitter = extremely flexible environment But if you want some of our suggestions….
14. Twips…about FOLLOWING… Start by following (lurk & learn...) Follow good tweeters only(you define good) Search with #hashtags or keywords Profiles are key – helps us find “good” people to follow, and invites likeminded followers You don’t have to follow them back Shop lists of people you follow for others
16. Twips: About TOOLS Browser enough to start with Try tools that integrate Twitter into browser Are you a “mobile” person…?
17. Twips: finding info…. Trending Topics Maybe you want to filter, through Tweetdeck or one of the other apps Things are evolving quickly and when you’re in the loop, you’ll find lots to explore
18. Ultimately, what we like... Free Pro-D! Immediate news. Filtered by yourpeople and/or your keywords What are my people doing, thinking, reading, viewing, attending, right now? colleagues w/people we don’t work with (Indirect) mentoring by leaders in my field. Stay connected (tweet from anywhere, mobile) Take it or leave it – it’s a river, it keeps running, dip in any time, don‘t worry about what you missed
19. Let’s play II Try these... Re-tweet Direct messaging Share photos Share links
20. How/do you see using Twitter? Personal Professional How could we use it at RRU? Community Other?
