Day 2 - Twittersphere!

I have been on Twitter for a few years, but have not yet gotten addicted.  I do like getting brief, focused messages and hearing from friends and colleagues about what they want to share.  I have not yet been much of a Tweeter, but might start sharing more.

Hootsuite is a hoot!  It can certainly make it easier to stay connected to multiple social media sites, which may prompt me to invest more time using them.

In the classroom I might use Twitter to set up a hashtag for a guest speaker, then have students post questions for the speaker.  I can then share the hashtag with the speaker who can address the students' questions during the presentation.  Another function I might use is a list for a class, then I can easily view all the posts from students in a class. These functions will work only if students have a Twitter account.  

Thanks Brent for helping us master more of the Twittersphere.
