23. 23-157 10 Things Teachers Should Know to Get Started with Twitter 10 Things Teachers Should Know to Get Started with Twitter Posted by Tony Vincent Tony Vincent 10 Things Teachers Should Know to Get Started with TwitterTony Vincent Free online service where each user has his or her own webpage that they update as often as they want 140 characters or less at a time. Users update their pages with news, conversation, resources, questions, quotes, humor, and sometimes useless information. People often call these short posts updates or tweets. Many educators use Twitter to connect, collaborate, ask questions, and build a sense of community. This is called microblogging because it's like having a blog where the posts are very short. Here are some recent tweets I saw when I logged into my Twitter.com account:

31. 31-157 THINGS I REALLLY need to know about sending a “TWEET” Public replies begins with the @ symbol Direct messages are not public They MUST have a D not a @

32. 32-157 Two ways to send a private direct message Go to a user's Twitter page and click message under Actions on the left side of the page. Another way is to begin your message in the Twitter update box with the letter d or D followed by the username and message

33. 33-157 One catch when it comes to direct messages. You can only send direct messages to users that are following you. For example, I am following Ellen Degeneres but she is not following me. Therefore, she cannot not receive direct messages from me.Ellen Degeneres

34. 34-157 RT and then an @ symbol That's called a retweet username after the @ symbol is the one who originally posted the message. Sample: RT @WDWFanZone An Extra Special Disney Birthday wdwfanzone.com/2012/09/an-ext… #fb RT @RRUEduStudies: Leadership 2.0 – Open Course #leadership20 connectedprincipals.com/archives/6359

37. 37-157 10 Twitter Tips & Tricks By Beirut 10 Twitter Tips & Tricks By Beirut Beirut 1. Search for Yourself: Twitter has an API call limit of 150 calls an hour. Every time your Twitter client searches for replies, DMs, or tweets, it wastes a call. Use a search for your own name instead of a replies column in your Twitter client, thus saving APIs and getting the same result!(The only downside is that people with protected updates won’t show up). 2. Use Friendfeed: Friendfeed is a very good resource for searching for old tweets. Twitter Search only goes back a few weeks, but Friendfeed allows you to find any old tweet.Friendfeed 3. Use Groups: Even when you are following a large number of tweeps, you really pay close attention to only a sum of their tweets. By creating groups in your Twitter client, you have a column with those tweets that really count! 4. Don’t Use & in Your Twitter Profile: For some reason, the “&” symbol doesn’t get along well with Twitter and won’t be displayed properly. 5. 125 is the new 140: Although you can now tweet more than 140 characters, the whole purpose of Twitter is the short messages. Shorten your tweets to 125 (or shorter if you can) to encourage easy retweets and added comments. 6. Search for Yourself: Twitter has an API call limit of 150 calls an hour. 6. Time Matters: Search your subject on Google and click “Realtime” from the left hand column. Take a look at when people discuss your topic most on Twitter. 7. Discover Your Worth: Check out your Twitter score on Twitter Grader to see how you rank amongst other Tweeters. You can check your Klout score as well.Twitter GraderKlout 8. Find Tweeps Near You with Similar Interests. Take advantage of the Places options in the advanced Twitter search interface to filter tweets to a certain area. 9. Tweet Completely: Not everyone is reading all your tweets in a row. A single tweet can show via RSS, search.twitter.com, in a Google Alert, etc. If your tweet relies on a previous tweet for context, it won’t make sense.RSSsearch.twitter.com 10. Position Your Links: Sometimes it makes sense to not run a link at the end of the tweet. More people may click on it if it’s in the middle or at the beginning- partly because it looks different, so it draws the eye.

67. 67-157 Will you be the 10th person? For every nine people who denounce innovation, only one will encourage it. For every nine people who do things the way they have always been done, only one will ever wonder if there is a better way. For every nine people who stand in line in front of a locked building, only one will ever come around and check the back door. Our progress as a species rests squarely on the shoulders of that tenth person. The nine are satisfied with things they are told are valuable. Person 10 determines for himself what has value.
