7 Questions to Inspire Thinking and Ideas: ThingLink App
In preparation for the event, Dena advised me to write 6 questions to guide a discussion and provide examples. I did that and I also scheduled the timed released tweets through Tweet Deck. These tips from Dena helped tremendously.
I wondered if the prep would help me follow the conversation, since I'll admit I have a
difficult time keeping up with Twitter Chats. I did see my questions in the hashtag feed, but they were just there. I don't think anyone responded, but I did notice some people retweeting them. Still, the answers and questions were hard to follow. We were all talking about other things, and that was a good thing too.
A New View of the Questions & Examples
To organize and share the questions and examples from the Twitter Chat I used a Google Form as a model for a content delivery method that works well with learners, young and old. This Google Form is designed to introduce ideas and provide the opportunity for feedback.If you please, you can view the questions and examples without actually responding to any of them. Click on the icon or link and you will be taken away from this blog to the Google form where all questions are optional and feedback is appreciated!

How To Post and delete tweets directly via email in Twitter
Although you can enter tweets via the app from anywhere directly to Twitter, there is also an option to
tweet via email. This even comes with some advantages as it offers more functionality.
To begin, you must log in to the free service Twittermail. Head to the website (www.twittercounter.com/pages/ )twittermail and click “Sign in with Twitter” on the top leff corner. In a new window, confirm the link by clicking “Authorise app”. On the next page, you can deactivate all the options for Twitter Counter from the Settings. Once done, click “Save and go”. Then, you will come to the dialog for “Twitter mail Settings”. The “Twittermail address” generated here is very important. Here you can take the suggested encrypted name or you can change the address in the field. However, please note that every email sent there would automatically generate a tweet in your profile in the future. Also take note that, addresses that can be guessed easily, can lead to Spam in the tweets.
You only have to enter your “Twitter password” when you want to forward images in your tweets. In the field "Cut of phrase”, you can define a text that marks the end of the text to be forwarded in the email. With this, you can prevent the publishing of your signature too. You can also keep the field empty and use the two line breaks as end markers. With the Setting "Message body”, the combination field “What to tweet” determines whether the message should be published on Twitter. You can also choose "Subject" for the subject line or for both. Copy the encrypted mail address in your address book. Once the "Save settings" options is clicked, the service will be ready to use.
Twitter - Powerful Bursts of Information
Many people don't understand how Twitter can work efficiently. Many people don't think they have time for Twitter. Perhaps they don't. We all have different learning styles and preferred methods of information gathering. We must all choose the tools that work for us and Twitter is in my toolkit because it works well for me as an efficient and effective tool for collaboration!
Twitter has allowed me to connect with many amazing, talented and connected #EdTech stakeholders across the planet. Twitter is efficient. Words are well chosen, the language is constantly reinvented, and of course links to resources are the treasures.
I recently had a quick Twitter conversation with Naomi Harm, a talented innovative educator and EdTech consultant from Minnesota. Naomi and I have never met face to face, but we are certainly connected. We learn from each other, we share each other's resources and ideas, and we collaborate quickly and efficiently. I've known Naomi to be an iPad expert for many years and since I have just jumped in to the iPad journey in my school, I grabbed the opportunity to ask Naomi for her for guidance.
Here is our 15 minutes conversation, filled with treasures. Ah, yes...the things I can do with this information! Thanks Naomi. Keep on Tweeting!
