I’ve decided to participate in the latest suggestion by Sue Waters over at The Edublogger. And I invite you to join us for for Gr8tweets for the month of March in order to:
- Commit to trying out Twitter for a month
- Find interesting people to follow on Twitter
- Share what you value about Twitter
- See what others value about Twitter
- Help build your Personal Learning Network
Here’s how it works: For the month of March, a group of educators and lifelong learners will be picking a “Tweet of the day” and Re-Tweeting it with a tag: #gr8t
For more details, please visit Sue’s post, where she explains it in more detail (including a bit on how to use hashtags). You can also visit the Wikispace which has more details, as well as a list of participants.
For me, a “gr8 tweet” will be a tweet that does one or more of the following:
- causes me to think differently
- inspires me to action or change
- challenges me to justify the philosophy behind my actions
- makes me laugh in ways I hadn’t before
- gives me sincere hope for the future, the community, or the planet
There aren’t many rules, really, and if you have questions, jump on over to Sue’s post. Oh, and if you’re not on Twitter yet and you’re looking for someone to follow, feel free to find and follow me. You can then send me a tweet or two and find some other people to follow to expand your network. My username is @amichetti.
Happy Tweeting! 🙂
