What is Twitter - How can I use it?

What is Twitter? - Explania

Hi Everyone,

Jennifer ( my Twitter mentor) has taken me on a crash course in Twitter this week.

I am definitely hooked but need to find a way to keep it manageable.

I have a busy online life as it is!

I have decided to use Twitter to post links, to all the professional reading that I do online, during the week.

If you would like to see what I've been reading all you need to do is join Twitter and look for me under the user ID : Teachersspace

Jennifer has also introduced me to a sensational site called Bitly, which shortens website links. This is a very handy site to have access to, when you have a lot to say and need to say it in 140 characters or less.

I'm already plotting how I might use this tool to encourage reluctant writers with language disorders...?
