Go to settings and fill out your Bio! This is essential to getting followers. Tweet a few things - share a link, an idea, a resource, a blog post, anything. Basic Suggestions for Teachers New to Twitter ~Liz B Davis~ new-to-twitter.html

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.

Check out this spreadsheet of educators on Twitter add yourself: If you Tweet a question and no one answers, Tweet it again later. It is OK to ask more than once. ~Liz B. Davis~ The Power of Educational Technology new-to-twitter.html
