Editor's Notes
- Twitter for districts
- If we played 4 corners, I bet we could get everyone in the room into one of these 4 groups.
- Communication Tool – Personal & Professional
- More and more people are wanting to contribute to the documentation of the world’s news from the World’s leaders
- to your favorite characters
- Which means each district represented here has a story to tell
- Companies like McDonald’s and Apple use pictures, and music, and video, and heart and emotion to tell their story
- And schools only use numbers and scores to tell their story. That that is where a tool like Twitter can help.
- So what is Twitter
- Twitter, depending on the day, can be either the greatest thing, the most boring thing, the most overwhelming thing, or something I simply don’t pay attention to.
- Twitter shares two main purposes in my own use that are extremely valuable. The first is the “social” aspect. I can go on there and see familiar faces, talk about happenings in the world, sporting events, or just joke around. Some of my best friends that I have met started simply as profile pictures and a 140 character bio. Avatars to friends. The other aspect is the “learning” component. I would say that since I started using Twitter to connect with educators and see not only what was happening in other schools, but to also get ideas and perspectives about education as a whole. I have learned a lot about education systems in other countries around the world when five years ago, I might not have had that perspective. The ability to talk to people, and not just “look up stuff”, has made this network invaluable to the work that I do in my own practice.itter answers the question “What are you doing?”
- Your parents are looking for news. I use my news reader to keep up with the latest in Ed Tech, the Cowboys and Rangers.
- So what do you Tweet? Everything points back to your school and your school brand. This is also part of the LISD brand. Here are some tips
- This is also part of the LISD brand. Here are some tips
- Link back to an article on your website. Bad thing about twitter is you only have 140 characters to tell your story. But you can link to your website which will expand on that tweet.
- Tweets with photographs are more likely to be read.
- Tweet at someone specific although the public who follow either of you can see it.
- The ever popular and misunderstood hashtag
- Hashtag If you Tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your Tweet Don't #spam #with #hashtags. Don't over-tag a single Tweet. (Best practices recommend using no more than 2 hashtags per Tweet.) Use hashtags only on Tweets relevant to the topic.

- None of your tweets matter if you don’t have followers. So if you want to Tweet out communication about your campus, you need followers
- Tell people where to find you on Twitter and to Follow you. Every document, newsletter, email etc. should have your twitter username.
- For parents without Twitter you can just direct them to the URL of your Twitter account. The URL will be twitter.com/and your twitter handle
- Text Follow @username to 40404 to receive Tweets by text message.
- So you are not only tweeting, you are building relationships
- You are connecting with the community in a new way.
- And you are telling powerful stories.
