Tweet!!

Ahh. Twitter. I've heard a lot about Twitter, thanks to my younger students and their shorter attention spans. To be perfectly honest, I have avoided the Twitter subscription deliberately because I'm already on Facebook more than I would like, and I have felt I don't need one more social-media distraction stealing my time.

Nonetheless, for the sake of my future school library I have bitten the proverbial bullet and have become a Tweeter. Sort of.

The set up is quite easy, though it did take me a while to figure out how to get a Twitter widget onto my blog. I added a widget at another phase in the Learning 2.0 journey, but just couldn't remember how I did it! Luckily, there are tutorials for EVERYTHING, so in relatively short order, the problem was solved.

I can see the advantages of using Twitter as a school librarian. Perhaps primarily is that teenagers are using it more than Facebook, so if it's teenagers I want to reach, well, when in Rome...
