1. Register at Twitter.com

 

• Click sign-up now
• Pick a short name (10 characters or less) that is easy to remember
• Ex. If your name is John Doe and you love using technology for teaching, then try JohnDoe or EdtechJD.
• A name like JohnDoe20789 is too long and difficult to remember.

• Add an image- If possible use an image of what you really look like

 

2. Follow me @ShellTerrell

 

• This is how to follow someone

 

 

3. Tweet me this message

 

• Copy and paste this message under What's Happening Now on your Home Page: @shellterrell Hello I just joined Twitter and looking to connect!
• Don't forget to click tweet to send this.

 

 

• I will then introduce you to the Twitter sphere and tell educators to follow you.

 

4. Sign-up for any of these browsers to make tweeting faster and easier:

 

• Tweetdeck
