#twittereducator

The concept of #twittereducator is that if all educators write a tweet with the hashtag #twittereducator in it, a site such as blastfollow can then be used for other educators to follow all those who have used the #twittereducator hashtag. This would be particularly useful for people looking to grow their network.

So the steps are:

• Send out a tweet containing the text #twittereducator (or retweeet someone else’s tweet that has the hashtag and link explaining what it is)
• Type the hashtag into blastfollow
• Put your twitter details in when asked and click blast

Here is an example:

If it takes off, i’d suggest the process is repeated on the first day of each month, for an couple of hours or so. I thought about if it should be split down to #uktwittereducators #ustwittereducators etc but that could get too ‘bitty’, so for now, #twittereducator is the tag to use!

@chris_1974 on twitter has very kindly set up a twitter account with a list of all the people who have used the #twittereducator hashtag. He has written about it here.

@fullonlearning has also blogged about her experience with #twittereducator here.
