This document provides an introduction and overview of Twitter. It discusses common myths about Twitter, what Twitter is, and the benefits of using Twitter. It demonstrates how to set up a Twitter profile, follow others, retweet and reply to tweets. It also discusses using hashtags to find tweets on specific topics and how the "backchannel" on Twitter allows users to participate in live discussions of conferences and events they cannot attend in person. The document concludes with challenges for users to start engaging with Twitter through actions like participating in a tweet chat, following others, and tweeting about their work.

- 8. TRANSLATING TWITTER PROFILE Profil e Twitter Handle Twitter Feed
- 9. BUILDING A VOICE – RETWEET, REPLY AND REACT • # Hashtag • A hash tag is a way to search for tweets on a particular topic. Eg. If you search on #litigation you see a list of tweets for this topic • Through hash tags you can follow conferences, talks, events, live tweet chats for your professional development eg #TedXMelb #LearnX #CPA12 • @ (The At symbol) • I prefer to think about it as „To‟ - @activatelearn is a direct reply to ActivateLearn (ie – me!) • RT • Retweet: Like what someone mentioned? Do you want to spread it? Retweet it. • Mention • The @ is mentioned in the body of the tweet and shows up in your Mention tab. So someone has mentioned you in their tweet and you get a „notification‟ of it… LET’S SEE THESE IN CONTEXT…
- 12. GIVE ME A BIT OF TWITTER ACTION • Use your real name (or other name) • One email address that you can access from your phone here (as you‟ll need to confirm) • Create a one line bio • Brand your Twitter page • Sometime later, insert your profile pic – no eggheads allowed! • Share your Twitter names out loud and let‟s follow each other • Send your first tweet and add #myfirsttweet
- 13. FOLLOW ME…FOLLOW YOU…FOLLOW WHO? As a start...FOLLOW EACH OTHER! And then… • @C4LPT – Jane Hart • @hjarche – Harold Jarche • @charlesjennings – Charles Jennings • @jaycross – Jay Cross • @DonaldClark – Donald Clark • @Quinnovator – Clark Quinn • @LrnDDave – David Kelly Then look at who they follow, view their conversation threads and if you get value out of the conversation then follow them too!

- 15. “I am a huge proponent of backchannel learning. There are many conferences I would love to be able to attend, but my budget can only accommodate one or two each year. The backchannel is an excellent resource for learning from a conference or event that you are unable to attend in-person. I find collecting and reviewing backchannel resources to be a valuable learning experience for me, even when I am attending a conference in person. Sharing these collections on this blog has shown that others find value in the collections as well” - David Kelly Misadventures in Learning Image by debs http://www.flickr.com/photos/debschultz/528230215//
