Twitter

How do I Follow the College on Twitter?

The college is on Twitter at http://twitter.com/nmsucob. To follow the college, sign up for a Twitter account (if you don’t have one) at http://twitter.com.

If you don’t have a Twitter account, you should still be able to see at least the most recent of the college tweets; however, this is not “following.”

Twitter provides help to get started:

What is Twitter?

Twitter is a free social networking/micro-blogging service. When you have a Twitter account, you can send “tweets” (up to 140 characters of text) to your Twitter profile page. Your tweet is delivered to your subscribers (followers).

It’s a tool for real-time quick messaging, forwarding news, marketing your business, sending a link, and social networking.

Follow the college on Twitter and receive automatic updates of our News, along with announcements and deadlines.

Can I Tweet with a Class?

Thank you Pookie Sautter for bringing up and pursuing this example: You’re an instructor with 300 students in your class. How do they ask you a question?

What your students do

  1. They have to have a Twitter account.
  2. If they tweet you through a device other than a computer (e.g., a cell phone), they will need to go to their Twitter account → Settings → Devices and add the device.
  3. They don’t have to “follow” you on Twitter.

What you do

  1. You set up a Twitter account and name it something relevant. We’re using AskBlinky as the Twitter account in this example.
  2. Tell the class your username (e.g., AskBlinky).
  3. During class, you login to your AskBlinky page.
  4. Students tweet a question to @AskBlinky using cell phones, laptops, PDAs, iPhones, etc.
  5. On your AskBlinky page, you click on the link @AskBlinky.
  6. It takes you to a page named “Tweets mentioning @AskBlinky.”
  7. You read your students’ questions and answer them.

What everyone needs to know

  • Your Twitter account can be used for future classes. Just let your new students know the UserName.
  • Sometimes Twitter goes down because everyone in the galaxy uses it and it gets overloaded.
  • Student questions will need to be within Twitter’s 140-character limit.
