What are your objectives? How do you plan to use twitter?
"Social media already are ingrained in most college students’ personal lives, and now some college professors are using social media as a tool to help students create professional connections and build valuable workplace skills."
"Social media may have started out as a fun way to connect with friends, but it has evolved to become a powerful tool for education and business. Sites such as Facebook and Twitter and tools such as Skype are connecting students to learning opportunities in new and exciting ways. Whether you teach an elementary class, a traditional college class, or at an online university, you will find inspirational ways to incorporate social media in your classroom with this list."
"Students use Facebook to organize their real world. The hard distinction between a real world and an online world is leftover from the days of video games, bulletin boards, AOL screen names, chat rooms, and early avatars. While certainly these elements still exist in places like Second Life, an immersive virtual world, none of them have anywhere near the pervasive level of adoption Facebook has. "
"So why has Twitter been so misunderstood? Because it's experiential. Scrolling through random Twitter messages can't explain the appeal. You have to do it — and, more important, do it with friends. (Monitoring the lives of total strangers is fun but doesn't have the same addictive effect.) Critics sneer at Twitter and Dodgeball as hipster narcissism, but the real appeal of Twitter is almost the inverse of narcissism. It's practically collectivist — you're creating a shared understanding larger than yourself."
An assignment that is a great example of how to use twitter in the classroom.
"How about a quick lesson plan? How a way to keep a shorthand record of daily class activities? Then how about twitter? Start a Twitter profile (a separate one just for teaching, so not to annoy your friends), and at the end of each class day jot down what you did in class. Networking with other subject area teachers will encourage collaboration on similar lessons."
"Twitter has evolved into a great resource for news and current events. Luckily, it’s also a great resource for other important information, such as awesome teaching advice. Whether you are still earning your teaching certification or are just starting out as a teacher, these Twitter feeds offer resources you shouldn’t miss. In these feeds you’ll find advice for the classroom, advice for early childhood education, technology, special education, or advice from others such as consultants or administrators, and much more."
"CHARLIE SHEEN’S meltdown took many forms: a cocaine-fueled rampage in a New York hotel room, an erratic radio rant, a vulgar one-man comedy tour. But his biggest contribution to current culture may have been more subtle. With a simple Twitter phrase, #winning, known in the parlance of social media as a hashtag, Mr. Sheen underscored one of the newest ways technology has changed how we communicate. "
"Players of Twitter risk their reputations, their careers and their relationships."
"Did you know that if you searched the hashtag #edchat on Twitter, you would find a real-time stream of educational topics, articles, resources and ideas by teachers? This is a great example of how social media is becoming a useful collaboration tool in education. "
"Twitter is a powerful tool for students and educators, when it’s used appropriately. Here are seven tips, plus one bonus, for college students beginning to use Twitter."

"First, let’s start with something I like to call humanization"
"By having a Twitter handle in their e-mail signature, PR professionals are able to provide journalists with a window into what they are like in real life, should they wish to explore beyond the press release they’ve received in their inbox"

There is, unfortunately, a stigma among some members of the media that PR representatives blast pitches out to top tier groups without understanding (or caring about) reporters’ beats and coverage areas.
