Over 100 ideas for using Twitter in the Classroom This handful of resources provide about 100 different ideas for, and examples of, using Twitter in the classroom. It’s been almost 8 months since I published the post, “6 Examples of Using Twitter in the Classroom”, about uses of the popular micro-blogging tool in the instructional setting. This post generated a lot of traffic, and continues to attract hundreds of viewers every week. Since that brief posting, I’ve come across a lot of articles containing examples and suggestions for using Twitter in instructional applications. I’ve combed through many of these and tried to boil down the redundancies to create a rich set of idea-laden resources. I also want to mention these 100 Serious Twitter Tips for Academics, which are worth reviewing to learn more and plan your approach to using Twitter in (and out of) the classroom. Here are the original “6 Examples” from last June’s post: About Kelly Walsh Print This Post

Marketing Your Business With Twitter @ Small Business Tech This post is a bit of a change from my usual discussion of Apple technology, but bear with me on this one. I’ve been a member (and a largescale user as well) of the extremely popular micro-blogging site Twitter for over a year now. In that time I have enormously expanded my audience and discovered and discussed with many intelligent and fun people through the service, but Twitter is not just for discussion and merely answering “What Are You Doing?” – Twitter has many more possibilities and capabilities that everyone can utilize to market their brand and their business. First, Twitter is community based, and this means if the community likes what they see they can share (“Re-tweet”) your content with their friends. Through Re-tweeting your posts, news and content shared through Twitter can be spread through not just your friends and followers, but your follower’s followers, etc.
PeerIndex — We Value Social Twitter for Teachers, a resource Published on April 5th, 2015 | by Mark Anderson I was reminded last week on the power of Twitter which brought together 250 education professionals to London for #TMLondon.

It got me thinking again about the power of Twitter. At the same time, I’ve come across another brilliant iPad app by the long-standing graphic and media software giant Adobe called, Adobe Slate.

TwitPwr At 10:15 pm I discovered that I had not brought a Macbook power supply on the trip. I was in a hotel on Coronado Island, and early the next morning I was flying to an aircraft carrier off San Diego for an overnight visit. I doubted that the carrier had Macbook power supplies laying around, so I was in trouble. I posted a message to Twitter that I was in this predicament, and within ten minutes, five people offered to bring me a power supply. This illustrates the practical implications of a large following on Twitter. Tip 1: Follow the “smores (social media whores*).” Tip 2: Send @ messages to the smores. Tip 3: Create an effective avatar. If you have access to cool image tools, then create an avatar that raises the question, “How did he do that?” Tip 4: Follow everyone who follows you. Having said this, when you get to more than fifty or so followers, it’s impossible to read what all your followers tweet. Tip 5: Always be linking. StumbleUpon. Tip 8: Use the right tools. Tweetdeck.
