#Tweeter in Training

Some teachers I eat lunch with have been talking about Twitter for the last month.  As a group, we love to hash tag things like #lovechocolate, #whereareyouspring, and #thingsyoushouldn'thashtag.  All this laughter and joking made me think that I should give Twitter a try, so this week I joined the world as a fellow tweeter.
Joining Twitter was pretty simple.  The website walks you through the steps and really encourages you to follow multiple people.  They have you add friends, celebrities or tv shows, and contacts in your email list.  My primary goal when "following" people was to add a few favorite authors and teacher mentors, but I also added my sister, Runner's World magazine, and Mythbusters:)  It's been fun reading the tweets and checking out the videos and websites people hyperlink.  Veronica Roth had some multiple tweets that caught my eye, and Kelly Gallagher and Penny Kittle have tons of ideas they're sharing.  Staying up-to-date with Goodreads and Twitter is definitely going to take time, but I think both are worthwhile because of the great resources and recommendations I'm getting.

  Here's a pic of my first tweet - No hash tags yet :)
