Administering Twitter
• You need to understand why you are taking it
• You need to understand the benefits
• You need to understand the side-effects
• You need to understand that the benefits may
take time in coming
• You may need two courses
Do not feel pressured to use it - as it won’t work
Navigating Twitter
Twitter Myth #1
You can’t say much in 140 characters
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results.”
“Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual
power. We have guided missiles and misguided
men.”
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you
can use to change the world.”
The make up of a Tweet
