ReplyYou’re welcome Norah! I’m so glad you found these tips useful. Lists are an amazing way to filter through all the fabulous content on Twitter so you can spend your time in the most effective way. Google+ also has a similar feature with their circles which I find to be super helpful when I’m looking for certain content.
ReplyThank you for stopping by Krystol! I really love Twitter too. It is a great platform to connect with others. It is one of the reasons I started the weekly #k8chat on Twitter, to connect more people. 🙂
ReplyYeah, I’d given up on Twitter for awhile, til I finally started actually using lists as a way to organize interests. Adding to the basic tweet that pops up on a site’s page helps too I think, and is more fun 😉
And I Iike the DM feature and even used it recently to good effect. I get the alert via email but am unable to resp that way, and have to go to the app. My only complaint about so far, that lack of integration.
Anyway, nice list, shared, on Twitter of course 🙂 Thanks so much!
ReplyThanks so much Felipe — Kate and I both love Twitter but it can be overwhelming. I love lists, too. I agree about the lack of integration — not sure why that is tho…
ReplyHopefully just a matter of time; already can resp in my gmail to a lot of blog posts etc. Just need a tweak on the tweets 😉
ReplyI agree Felipe! Twitter lists really help keep things organized on Twitter and adding in your thoughts to articles you share is a great way to engage with others.
I really appreciate your comment and share! See you on Twitter :).

ReplyTrying to use Twitter more personally as an educator and with students in classrooms. It’s always seemed so messy. This seems pretty overwhelming. 1. How do I find other high school English coaches, teachers, and chats? I’ve found education chats, but thought there might be high school English and educational coaching chats. 2.How do I keep everything organized? 3. Is there a crash course for using Twitter in the classroom? Thank you! This article made me believe that I can do this!
ReplyHi Deanna! I’m so glad you found this useful, yay!
Well, I haven’t worked with teachers in the classroom, but I Google EVERYTHING. I took your question #3 and came up with this article: https://www.examtime.com/blog/using-twitter-in-the-classroom/
As for questions 1 and 2, I suggest Googling them first, and see what you come up with. Search for specific hashtags on Twubs.com or Tweetchat.com for those topics. I recommend using Twitter Lists (look that up in their Help section) to keep things organized. I also recommend using Hootsuite or Buffer to help schedule and curate content. Use TWitter’s search and advanced search functions for more help. To find people specifically, I use Manageflitter.com (input a specific keyword).
If you read further articles on my site, Kate and I offer numerous helpful tips!
ReplyIn addition to Rachel’s great advice you may find this article helpful: https://badredheadmedia.com/2014/07/31/finding-twitter-chats-guest-k8tilton/. I mention a few places to look for Twitter chats.
Personally I use Buffer to schedule tweets in addition to the live tweeting I do. I compare a few of these tools here: https://badredheadmedia.com/2014/09/28/social-media-scheduling-tools-authors/.
I hope that helps!
