Well I happily completed my Twitter adventure and posted about it in the discussion forums but somehow completely missed the memo about putting my finding here on my blog. Opps! All that Twitter/ tech fun has gone to my head.
So, Twitter is fairly new to me. I created an account once I got my library position because I was told by other librarians that they had feeds. Awesome, right?! Well after spending a little while getting it set up and "following" everyone I was supposed to follow, I just sort of stared at the screen... now what? Slow but surely I began to use hashtags and figure out how to use this crazy social network to my advantage. I met an amazing librarian at a conference and was able to connect with her via Twitter. Through her I was able to connect with other schools, librarians and authors around the country and eventually the world. Other librarians have been able to use this to connect to authors via Skpye, make connections with other classrooms and get recognized by major corporations simply by putting a tweet out into the universe. So while I am still new to the whole Twitter world I do feel like I'm getting the hang of it and learning how this can truly benefit my school and program. #twitteradventure #etec527
I took a look at Hootsuite and Tweetdeck which both seem to really be helpful in organizing all the madness that is twitter. I've linked my 2 Twitter accounts and think it's so much more user friendly having it all in one spot. I'm looking forward to seeing how my tweeting improves over the length of this course!
