Twitter 101: BASICS • Twitter consists of short 140 character phrases known as “tweets” • Conversations, photo, video and URL links can be shared in what’s called a Twitter “feed” • @Handle – Anything with an @ symbol before it identifies the Twitter profile user’s name which can be either an individual, business or group • #Hashtag– Anything with # before it identifies a word that can be searchable, a category/topic or designates a specific conversation like #artsedTweet
Follow other handles, retweet(RT) & favorite content, respond to other “Tweeps” tweets to further engage in conversation • Fantastic for: information gathering, connecting with people/organizations, asking questions, customer service/audience engagement tool and a teaching/learning tool in the classroom • Live Tweeting: Follow a specific #hashtag at conferences, events and for use in classrooms • Popular Hashtags: #TwitterChats, #EduTues, #STEAM, #ArtsEdTech, #ArtsEd, #EduChat
Don’t mistake social media for socializing. They’re different! @edutopia 12 Ways Teachers are Using Social Media in the Classroom: A Guidebook (via Edutopia) “The myth about social media in the classroom is that if you use it, kids will be Tweeting, Facebooking and Snapchatting while you’re trying to teach…”
Basic Twitter Etiquette Do: Don’t: • Set up a Twitter profile with a recent photo of yourself • Start following people in your field • Retweet other people’s content “Favorite” things you like • Engage in conversation with others and interact on a regular basis • Post photos, videos and links to websites and other important info • HAVE FUN! • Leave the “egg” profile photo – it looks like a spam account • Try and compose a normal sentence – learn Twitter lingo! (It’s good to leave 7-10 extra characters too) • Retweet a bunch of tweets in a row – spread them out • Tweet once in a blue moon – be active on a daily basis! • Spend all day on Twitter! I recommend going back only 1 hour’s worth of content • Be rude
