Twitter for Teachers

Twitter is a hot tech tool for teachers. But how can you, as an educational or training professional, use Twitter in an effective and efficient way that helps you 
Objectives:
Learn how to use Twitter in a meaningful and strategic way. There is no point in having a Twitter account “just because”. Learn how to develop your own personal vision about what Twitter means to you and why. 
Learn how to manage your time on Twitter effectively. There’s no question that social media can be time consuming. In this session we’ll talk about ways to minimize the time you spend on Twitter while still using it to its fullest potential.
