I don’t get to twitter as much as I would like to. As a result, I’ve come up with some ways to organize Twitter so I can use it to the max.
During the school day, I’m supposed to be teaching, but since I’m project based, there is a 10-15 minute Window while students are organizing their work. I use that to grade previous classes but sometimes I’m caught up on that too.
There is a key core of Twitters that I have been keeping up for a long time, they include @alfredtwo and a couple of other teachers. They don’t twit a lot but when they do, they give me really good ideas. I have them set up for device updates and get them as text messages. I also keep a couple of news feeds set up the same way.
If I do want to twitter, I have to use my own personal account — I do that when I have TAKS hall duty, during my planning period if I have time, and during my tech period again if I have time. I was using Twirl for that, but I’ve installed OutTwit. One of the reasons I’m liking it, is again I can keep important Twitters in seperate folders and just check those.
In the past, I would look up them up individually using Twirl or using the website. This seems like it will be more efficient.
By the way, have I said lately how much I love Twitter and the ideas I get from it?
