This is essential to getting followers. • Tweet a few things - share a link, an idea, a resource, a blog post, anything. • Don't protect your updates. People often hesitate to follow back if they can't see your tweets. • Use your real name and your real picture. You will eventually have to say "Hi I'm "xx" on Twitter." • Look for people who will follow you back - that is what makes a conversation. • Check out this spreadsheet of educators on Twitter add yourself: http://bit.ly/xfUn • If you Tweet a question and no one answers, Tweet it again later. It is OK to ask more than once. ~Liz B.
