Twitter

So I saw the commercials but really had no interest.  I tend to shy away from these new social sites.  After looking through how to use Twitter in the classroom, I'm really excited to use it.  I set up an account today, jjordan75, and added on some Latin singers I like (to follow) and two children stores, hoping for good sales.  I already had to take off Babies R Us.  They had too many posts and it overwhelmed me in the first 5 min. I was on Twitter!  I also added on other MS Spanish teachers from the list given to us on moodle.  I have added the free app to my iPod touch so I can keep up w/it.  I posted some questions, but I'm wondering how I'll get answers since I don't have any followers yet...was that in your videos and I just don't remember Lori?  I'm interested in doing Twitter Pals, Twitter Stalking and setting up a Twit board for students to view and answer questions on, or get a word of the day, etc...  How do I set up a Twit board?  It was on one of the suggestion sheets, but I don't see how to do it.  That is one of the questions I put out there on my account.  Also, I asked if anyone had any SMART board activities to share w/me since that is my technology goal this year and I shared a link to mine that I've created. (Although I had to do it in 2 posts since there is the limit we learned about.)  The last thing I shared was the link to the article you gave us to read on 25 ways to use Twitter in the Classroom, since it inspired me, I thought it might inspire other Spanish teachers.
