  23. Basic Suggestions for Teachers New to Twitter~Liz B Davis~http://edtechpower.blogspot.com/2009/02/advice-for-teachers-new-to-twitter.html • Go to settings andfill out your Bio! This is essential to getting followers. • Tweet a few things - share a link, an idea, a resource, a blog post, anything.

  24. Don't protect your updates. People often hesitate to follow back if they can't see your tweets. • Use your real name and your real picture. You will eventually have to say "Hi I'm "xx" on Twitter." • Look for people who will follow you back - that is what makes a conversation.
