- It is my hope that this workshop tonight will provide you with a tool that you will be able to implement and use to transform your instructional practice and to help you access timely professional development.
- When you leave here tonight, you will understand what social networking is, and that Twitter is a type of social networking site. You will have your own Twitter account, and you will begin “tweeting”.
- Twitter is a “social network”. Like other social networks, for example Facebook, Linkedin, MySpace, and Slideshare, you can follow or friend people, communicate with them and network with them. The most impressive feature about Twitter is that it’s in real time. A great example of this was when a coffee shop owner and network engineer in Abbottobad started tweeting about hearing helicopters, an explosion and automatic gunfire. Little did he know that he was live-tweeting the Osama bin Laden take down. He became an overnight internet sensation. So, Twitter can be used to share current information about current events, it can be used to communicate with friends and family, celebrities use it to communicate with fans, businesses use it to get the word out about their products, professional sporting organizations use it to communicate with their fans, and so on. So, how can teachers use it? Tonight you will learn how Twitter can become your daily dose of professional development. Let’s think back to the Michael Fullan quote. This tool, I hope, will be implemented by you following this workshop.
- When she first started out in January 2009, she quickly amassed over 2 million followers. Well, she’s up to almost 6 million now. Charlie Sheen famously had his very public meltdown, then joined Twitter and broke a Guinness World Record for getting the most followers the quickest – he got over 1 million in 24 hours and currently has just over 4 million.
- Barack Obama is another big Twitter user.
- Lady Gaga is a clear Twitter star with over 10 million followers (more than Barack Obama), and Justin Bieber is also up there with 9,891,441 followers!

- It’s free to sign up for Twitter, but before we just jump right in – there are a couple of things you’ll need – you’ll need to come up with a username and it’s recommended that you choose something simple and close to your real name. Upload your photo, and once in, you’ll need to write your bio. For your bio, you get 165 characters, so make it good!Click the image on this slide to go to the twitter.com website.
