+ 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

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…”

@edutopia

Don’t mistake social media for socializing. They’re different!

+ Basic Twitter Etiquette

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
