The document provides an overview of Twitter, describing how it was created in 2006 by Jack Dorsey to allow sharing of short messages up to 140 characters, and how it has grown to be a popular platform used by many for communication, sharing news and stories, and organizing around hashtags for topics or events. Examples are given of how hashtags like #Jan25 were used for organizing during the Arab revolutions, and how features like retweets, lists, and trends work on the Twitter platform.

Of course Twitter has been one of the most resourceful platforms on social media for connecting, information sharing and utility.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

service)
• Using a maximum of 140 characters
• In an open-source platform!

oRe-tweet something by someone else by putting the
letters RT and @ in front of their username before
copying their tweet
Example:
I love this song RT @weam_a: hit me baby one
more time
oClick the ‘re-tweet’ link to the bottom right of the tweet
48. What is #FF?
• #FF is a hashtag for “Follow Friday” and is a twitter
tradition whereby every Friday, tweeps recommend
others that are interesting for their followers to
check out. It’s a good way to get introduced to
other tweeps and to also share your appreciation
for the people you follow. Here is an example:
Example:
#FF @pearlowa because she’s makes awesome
scrambled eggs!
49. What is +1?
• Sometimes tweeps retweet something with a +1 (or
+ whatever digit) before it to show their approval of
what is being said.
Example:
+100 RT @mhijazi Smoking should be banned in all
public places in #Lebanon!
50. Twitter Lists
• Lists compile similar tweeps together so that you
can see a timeline of all their tweets on the same
page. You can add multiple tweeps to a list and
you will be added to lists too.
• Listorious.com
51. Protected Tweets
• If you’re worried about your tweets being exposed
publicly, you can opt for privacy (protected tweets)
in your settings. That way people need to request to
follow you before they can see your profile and
tweets.
53. How many Lebanese are
on twitter?
• I’m not sure. There are many who live here and
many who are abroad. I would estimate at least
5000 active tweeps and maybe a 10-12 thousand if
you include the ones who are rarely active. But the
community’s growing every day.
54.
55. Is everyone friendly on
twitter?
• No, just like in your offline life. Most people are very
polite and friendly, but you will bump into a few
bullies. Unfollow people who annoy you and if it
gets to a point of harassment, you can block them
from accessing your profile.
57. Choose Your Tools
• Pick your tools – you can tweet from the web,
your phone, or from any number of Twitter apps
• TweetDeck http://tweetdeck.com
• TwitterFox http://twitterfox.net
• Twhirl http://www.twhirl.org
• Ping.fm http://ping.fm
