I thought David Hopkins tips were very informative and good for educators. The first tip he gave was to work out what you want to get out of twitter. I think this is extremely important because twitter can be used for various things. Teachers must know how to use twitter effectively and how to incorporate it into their lesson.
Another great point he made was to not share things and pass them off as your own without giving credit to the originator. I thought this was a great point too because it’s to pass things off as your own on sites like twitter without giving credit, so new users must learn how to use the retweet option. Other great tips he gave were to look at people who are following you, don’t be afraid to block unwanted people, and widen your network. The point here is to be proactive in on the site. Overall, the tips that David Hopkins gave were very good and helpful to new teachers are educators who decide to use twitter.
This is a great idea for a blog assignment, especially since Dr. Strange mentions Twitter a lot. I have been trying to use it recently but I don't know a whole lot about it. I found the tips in the article you provided informative and useful. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea. Students often are reluctant to use Twitter and I think it is because they don't understand how it benefits them. The post you mentioned along with a couple of other resources would make a very useful blog assignment. SS
