6 Tips for Teachers
Tell Parents: let parents know about your account so they can keep up-to-date with what your class is doing in school.
Sharing: use Twitter to share your classroom adventures, events and classwork with others. Don’t forget to use those hashtags to spread the word!
Hashtags: trending topics and themes are often covered in a few or single words. To get involved, check out the home page on the left hand side, where the latest trends will all be listed or you could type ‘#’ into search.
Did you know some of the most used education hashtags are #EdChat, #EdTech and #Elearning? Make sure you search for these to keep up with the educational world.
Retweeting: retweet things to your followers – this may be a link, tweet, picture of an educational quote, news piece or just something you know your followers will like.
Images: adding an eye-catching image to your tweet can really make it stand out. Images are great to use if you can’t say everything you want in a single tweet – try it out!
Notifications: a great way to get more involved with the Twitter community is to keep track of followers and mentions in your notifications. Good one to keep an eye on!
