Twitter: A HowTo Guide for Teachers
Apr 14, 2009 Author: mrslwalker | Filed under: Social media, TwitterTwitter Handbook for Teachers (link to pdf download)
Tomaz Lasic has written this really useful document, explaining to teachers how to get started with using Twitter. It has an answer ready for the sceptics at every stage! It also has my Nine Reasons post incorporated into it. You can find Tomaz on Twitter too.
Sue Waters also has a fantastic wiki which gives a lot of information about using Twitter and is well worth a visit, and you can follow her on Twitter.
Thanks very much!

Twitter doesn’t yet seem to be the tool of choice for younger students, although with its growing popularity the time will no doubt come. It’s definitely worth thinking about in advance though: how should teachers react to being followed by students? Or vice-versa?
