About the Class

It is difficult to be online and miss the buzz surrounding Twitter. Twitter is one of the hottest growing social networking, social news and social sharing platforms in the world. Millions of journalists, corporate leaders, celebrities and businesses use Twitter for variety of reasons : customer service, word of mouth publicity, marketing, subscriptions and just sharing news with friends. Given it''s widespread growth and increasing adoption, there is increased awareness and interest in the teaching community on how they can also use or leverage Twitter. In this Workshop, we gather some active Twitter users who also happen to be teachers/ trainers. They will share their thoughts and ideas on "How Teachers can use Twitter".

Some of the topics we will cover:

  • As a teacher, do I really need to care about Twitter?
  • Leveraging Twitter for self growth and professional development
  • Branding oneself using Twitter
  • Using Twitter as an Educational Tool : Evolution of Real Time teaching
If you would want a specific topic to be covered in the workshop, please leave behind a comment or contact the presenters below on Twitter.

We will open the room 10 minutes before scheduled time to allow you to test your audio and video devices.
