As excited as I am to share my own content on Twitter, I’m even more excited to share other people’s content on Twitter! There are so many awesome educators and creators out there in my Twitter PLN and I love to spotlight what they’re creating and sharing. Here are my 5 “retweets” that were viewed the most!
(Note: these weren’t standard “retweets,” they were quoted retweets.)
🤯 putting green on your skin to green screen on! What a cool idea. What if we put something green (Tape, hat, fabric) on our forehead to “show” our thinking? Creativity is fun! https://t.co/8ch7bUXGSr

This study confirms what most of us probably already suspected! It’s good to see this info in a way that we can use to communicate it to kids. It’s important to consider how it applies to us though, too! https://t.co/3NaSMFbEdd

Tried to do this using Aurasma at all Classroom doors 5 & 6 years ago to introduce teachers to staff, but had a plethora of technical difficulties. @flipgrid is making it sooooo easy! https://t.co/z4D7OyBehq

**Oops. As of 2/21/19, you cannot embed a “stream” of tweets with a certain hashtag. I believe it was a future at the time of this original post that has been removed. Alternatives include (but are not limited to) adding tweets manually to a Twitter moment & embedding that, adding tweets to a Wakelet wake and embedding that, use other tools (TweetDeck’s Stories, possibly HootSuite’s hootfeed tool).**
Whether you’re a teacher communicating with your class, a school communicating with your community or an educator sharing with other educators around the world, embedding Twitter in Google Sites is a good tool. It was missing from the new Google Sites initially, but now they’ve added it in.
The animated GIF below demonstrates how to do it. I’m not the first to share this process, but I wanted to create a GIF to demonstrate it. I looked at Alice Keeler’s post about it to make sure I knew the steps before I started. If you need the step-by-step (or info about the other Twitter-Google Sites embeds), check out her post.
***NOTE: On 8/29/18, I received word on Twitter that TwitListManager is either no longer working or not working consistently. I haven’t confirmed “what’s up.” An alternative called twitterlistmanager.com was suggested. I have not used it and cannot confirm its quality, safety or reliability. Others do recommend it though!***
If you’ve been on Twitter for a long time, you probably follow more people than you can possibly keep up with. And, if you’re like me, it probably bums you out when you’re missing some good posts from some of the people that you really want to see everything from.
The solution is lists. Create lists in Twitter that contain the “important” people or that relate to a certain thing (i.e., the school you work for). Don’t worry: your lists can be private.
Well, if you’ve ever created lists in Twitter, you know that it’s clunky. TwitListManager is the best solution for that that I’ve found. Go to the site, log into Twitter and assign all of the accounts you follow to certain lists. Easy-peasy.
My strategy:
