Weather
What I’ve learned• Focus and limit the story• You learn how to tweet well by reading multiple
tweets of an account
And I’m a novice!
1.Select topic CNY weather? Big East tourney or Peyton Super Tuesday
2. Search social media for credible info
3. Organize in Storify with added intros/explanation
4. Save and Post
Remember: it’s about the story!
1.Think carefully about the focus2.Stories have a beginning, middle
& end3.Write a narrative around the
tweets• Avoid being a link or tweet-
dumper!
