Edu-Tweeter 101: The Future and Beyond

The Future and Beyond

So, the past 8 months we have taken a journey in expanding our use and knowledge of the social media platform Twitter.

Each of us has gained a thorough insight into the workings of Twitter.

As our yearly fellowship prepares to come to an end, each of us has a story. What we would love to have for our final Edu-Tweeter 101 webinar series in May is YOUR STORY.

The April recorded webinar titled Edu-Tweeter 101: The Future and Beyond challenges you to SHARE your story. Many platforms are available to SHARE your story. April's webinar goes into some details of various platforms available to share your story.

Also, if you are interested in being a guest moderator or host, please feel free to contact me. You can use the May webinar time to share your story with current fellows and future fellows.

I am available to help you develop this story and work on a platform you choose to share your journey.

I look forward to hearing your story and working closely with you to elevate your experience.

Our next and final webinar will be on Thursday, May 12, 2016, at 7 p.m. (MST). If you would like to join us, register here EDU-TWEETER WEBINARS.

Understanding Twitter Analytics

As educators, we always look at data from our formative and summative assessments to help steer our instruction. Well, just like these assessments, we need to understand out data on Twitter.

In this month's webinar, we learn how to analyze and interpret the data of which tweets work and which don't. We come to understand our tweets, impressions, and much more.

Understanding the analytics of our Twitter is important. By learning the dynamtics of Twitter and the tweets sent out, we come to understand the importance of our influence. If you were unable to attend the webinar live, here is the link to the recorded version. Recorded webinar.

The webinar covers how to locate your analytics, how impressions matter, and how to understand what is working to reach your target audience.

Log on today and watch how you can use your analytics to empower your voice and goals.

Next Steps

With the start of the Colorado Legislative session, we now get ready to put our skills and talents to practice.

Daily, many bills are being introduced to legislation and many of those bills affect education. We must keep ourselves aware of what is going and share our voices to help policy makers.

The following webinar EDU-TWEETER 101: NEXT STEPS provides you with tips on how to elevate our voice.  Also, what is the proper Twitter Etiquette when elevating our voice? EDU-TWEETER 101: NEXT STEPS is your guide.

How do I make myself aware? Two options are discussed on where you can follow the bills and what is happening in legislation. They are listed below:

1. Colorado Capital Watch - allows you to subscribe for free to receive daily updates of bills introduced in legislation. You can purchase a subscription to receive more elite updates.

2. Colorado Chalkbeat Bill Tracker - subscribe to the daily Legislation Updates.

TIP:

In order for us to impact the educational profession, we must take action in updating and analyzing and researching the bills and material available to us. We must educate ourselves as well as our community on the issues that impact education overall. Start today! Become a Citizen Influencer!
