10 steps for Educators new to twitter
The following was prepared by Joey
Estes for a parent technology night.

4. Twitter is a Cool Tool
!
•By joining Twitter, you can connect with people all over the
world about things that interest you.
!
•Imagine having literally thousands of people to bounce
ideas off of, share best practices, and to give you
recommendations for your next good read.
!
•All information is shared via 140 characters or less.

5. Time to Join!
!
•Once you have decided that Twitter is something you would
like to explore, go to the website and sign up for an account.
It’s free!

6. Following
• Once you have joined, you will need to
find people to follow.
• This means that you find people who
have the same interests as you, or
people you find interesting.
• Maybe you want to know what Time
magazine has to say.
• Or maybe your kids are interested in
Justin Bieber.

7. Now it’s time to interact.
•Anytime you see the @ sign in front of a name, it is like someone is talking
to or about that person directly.

8. Links
•You will often see a link that is a small jumble of letters and numbers. This is a
smaller link taking the place of a super long link.
