activate your network to help on the spot
-
a river that is constantly flowing
-
whenever we move away from the current we no longer see the flow – it passes us by, it carries on downstream
-
those people momentarily away from the riverbanks could easily miss this request.
-
- How many people actually update every 5 minutes? According to my Twitter Karma only 236 contacts have updated in the last 24 hours. That is less than 50 percent.
- The global aspect means there will always be people asleep and inactive when I am engaged with Twitter.
- I know the times when my network updates the most.
- I also appreciate who updates most frequently.
- In my opinion the greater number of people I follow the richer the tapestry.
-
dictate the levels of asynchronous and synchronous communication that goes on
-
time differences for different parts of your network
-
1) Explore their Twitter profile, scan who they follow.
2) Look for the language of education in the profile – teacher, tech coordinator, K12 etc
3) Explore their online work, blog, wiki or school website link.
4) Skim read recent Twitter updates.
5) If they are clearly involved in education I will follow back.

-
- Make it your own: the P in PLN is for personal, so take steps to follow people that interest you both professionally and personally if you so wish. There is no right way to do it. Consider how you want to use Twitter. In the classroom?
- Hit the ground running: if you are new to Twitter then explore other people’s networks and follow a bunch of people you would like to listen to, it will get the ball rolling.
- Go global: use Twitter mashups to explore possible colleagues in other countries – you will soon begin to appreciate a better sense of network geography.
- Friend of a friend of a friend: again use network visualising tools, like Twitter Blocks, to help you explore who is following members of your network. Take a couple of further steps and you may see many more possible connections.
- Your own rules: it is a good idea to establish what you will do when someone follows you, how will you check them out? Do they have to be a teacher? On what grounds will you decide not to follow someone?
-
- Reciprocate: try to follow back fellow education professionals when they add you. Your network widens and so does theirs.
- Balanced or unbalanced, does it really matter?: It is your choice how many people you follow and there is no Twitter police frowning upon us. If you want to follow 1000 teachers then go ahead!
- Participate: when it is right for you jump into the stream and get involved, there is no better way to characterise your profile then making contributions. When you want responses from your network, for your own lessons, your own participation may help to yield a reciprocated involvement.
- Respond: When other professionals ask for help/information or interaction via Twitter (and it is relevant to you) respond. Simple acts of 140 characters or less maintain a sharing ethos amongst your network. Others are ostensibly more likely to respond to your own requests later on.
- Search: Use Tweetscan to find out about discussions on Twitter. Search for keywords that are relevant to you – so a SMARTBoard or IWB scan may uncover a new network contact.
- Momentum: The behaviour of my network has changed since I began using Twitter. Momentum has been built in the numbers of followers I have and I would say that at around 400-450 followers I began to receive followers daily. That is network momentum.

Twitter has grown quickly to play a major part in the way that I interact with fellow colleagues and professionals from around the world. In my classroom and with the children I teach it has been an exciting tool to utilise and support learning.
-
Twitter is primarily a communication tool and has often been described as filling the gap between email and instant messaging (IM)
-
It is a platform that can fluidly handle both synchronous and asynchronous messaging. However each exchange or interaction you have with your network can be more or less synchronous; no two will be the same.

Twitter: a communication tool
-
Twitter has grown quickly to play a major part in the way that I interact with fellow colleagues and professionals from around the world. In my classroom and with the children I teach it has been an exciting tool to utilise and support learning.
-
Twitter is primarily a communication tool and has often been described as filling the gap between email and instant messaging (IM).
-
IM is all about synchronous communication, relying upon people being online at the same moment. Asynchronous communication characterised by email (and blog commenting) is slightly more time consuming but does not rely upon people being online at the same time.
-
It is a platform that can fluidly handle both synchronous and asynchronous messaging
-
This is important because it allows a teacher the best of both forms of communication and the ability to utilise the power of them using just one application.
-
So you could request information the night/day/week before and then return to those responses after some time. On the other hand you could activate your network to help on the spot, in that moment or current time frame when you need it.
-
You can gather responses to a tweet over a short period of time and return to explore them with your class when you are ready.
-
However you still have the opportunity to foster responses from your network in real time that can have an impact on learning.
-
Here is a simple, theoretical timeline
-
The timeframe that A-D occurs in is flexible enough for it to work within hours or just minutes between. The repeat request (B) is optional depending on the sorts of responses you get from your initial interaction. If you are to take advantage of live feedback then it is a good idea to repeat your request (C) just prior to working with the children on the activity (D).
-
I could ask for some contribution to a lesson, but those people momentarily away from the riverbanks could easily miss this request.
-
but the request will already be bobbing downstream out of sight.
-
Depending on how many people you follow will depend on how quickly the information flows.
-
Those following a large group of people will experience a much faster flow of Twitter updates and so when you throw your own into the torrent it can very quickly be washed downstream and out of sight.
-
Manageable networks
-
For example when I asked for some responses for a maths lesson at 9.30am GMT, Australian responses dominated the replies.
-
With this planned repeat of the request, members of my network in the US, Canada and South America were able to respond and contribute their small part to our lesson.
-
A carefully constructed network of valued colleagues, all with a an ethos of sharing at the heart of what they do, may well be more valuable to you then a random mixture of hundreds of people.
-
Explore their Twitter profile, scan who they follow.
-
Look for the language of education in the profile - teacher, tech coordinator, K12 etc
-
Explore their online work, blog, wiki or school website link.
-
Skim read recent Twitter updates.
-
If they are clearly involved in education I will follow back.
-
Talking and listening
-
It is important to appreciate that Twitter in fact has two networks working alongside each other.
-
Make it your own: the P in PLN is for personal, so take steps to follow people that interest you both professionally and personally if you so wish. There is no right way to do it. Consider how you want to use Twitter. In the classroom?
-
Hit the ground running: if you are new to Twitter then explore other people’s networks and follow a bunch of people you would like to listen to, it will get the ball rolling.
-
Go global: use Twitter mashups to explore possible colleagues in other countries - you will soon begin to appreciate a better sense of network geography.
-
Friend of a friend of a friend: again use network visualising tools, like Twitter Blocks, to help you explore who is following members of your network. Take a couple of further steps and you may see many more possible connections.
-
Your own rules: it is a good idea to establish what you will do when someone follows you, how will you check them out? Do they have to be a teacher? On what grounds will you decide not to follow someone?
-
Reciprocate: try to follow back fellow education professionals when they add you. Your network widens and so does theirs.
-
Balanced or unbalanced, does it really matter?: It is your choice how many people you follow and there is no Twitter police frowning upon us. If you want to follow 1000 teachers then go ahead!
-
Participate: when it is right for you jump into the stream and get involved, there is no better way to characterise your profile then making contributions. When you want responses from your network, for your own lessons, your own participation may help to yield a reciprocated involvement.
-
Respond: When other professionals ask for help/information or interaction via Twitter (and it is relevant to you) respond. Simple acts of 140 characters or less maintain a sharing ethos amongst your network. Others are ostensibly more likely to respond to your own requests later on.
-
Search: Use Tweetscan to find out about discussions on Twitter. Search for keywords that are relevant to you - so a SMARTBoard or IWB scan may uncover a new network contact.
-
Momentum: The behaviour of my network has changed since I began using Twitter. Momentum has been built in the numbers of followers I have and I would say that at around 400-450 followers I began to receive followers daily. That is network momentum.
-
Involve your network in the creation of something new - perhaps in decisions during shared writing with a class, or a piece of music.
-
- We have written this so far…what word would you use to describe the event/character/scene/action?
- Can you help us to think of synonyms for “help”?
- Here is what we have written so far (insert URL) Should the character in our story be A or B - and tell us why you made that decision.
-
Data
A Twitter
-
Opinion
-
What you are looking for here is the addition of another facet to the class debate and Twitter gives you that very easily, you can extend your discussions via feedback and insight from others.
-
I would always recommend an age stamp clearly on these sorts of posts to signal what level of discussion, feedback or opinion would be most appropriate.
-
(Twitpic is an excellent resource to share and discuss images using Twitter)
-
- Here is an image of Queen Elizabeth I what does it tell you about her?
- Here is what we have written so far (insert URL) Which of these sentences continues the report in the most persuasive manner?
- We have written some class rules what do you think of them so far?
-
Information
-
These could ideally be used to help provide a global perspective about school life for children. Further steps in the conversation could be taken to find out more about a particular school etc.
-
- What is it like to work in an international school?
- Does the weather effect you at school? What do the children/staff do to tackle the high temperatures during the day?
- Most of the children in our class walk to school because so many live nearby, what is the most popular form of transport in your class and why?
-
Location
-
Imagine having a teacher for your class to talk to in every city in the world?!
-
- We are exploring world time differences, it is nearly lunchtime for us what are you doing and what time is it?
- What is the weather like where you are?
- We are looking at the differences between the UK and Australia, is there anyone who can help us?
-
Ask your network to pose challenges and questions for your class.
-
- Challenge my class to find you using Google Earth, please provide us with just a small amount of information where you are?
- My class is revising the human body. Please give us a challenging question to answer. Grade 5.
- Challenge us to find a landmark or building that has a distinct shape?
-
