You just may be and may not know it! This video will show you how to view your connections, whether you've been mentioned, people that have replied to your tweets, or favored your commentary. Video time: 1 min 15 sec.
Also, if you have yet to post a message on Twitter read this blog post that was posted by a teacher I follow on Twitter. In it she gives great & easy ideas of things to post in hopes that your followers will reply. One being, generate a list of questions and post them frequently. You can create an "I wonder" wall in the room and choose one 'thing of wonder' to post on Twitter a day. Another example she gives is to have your class create a math story [problem] (via pictures and digital manipulatives) together. Post a picture of it on Twitter. You can solve it in class and have your students explain it to their parents when they check Twitter from home (I added this part). There are so many things you can do.
I'll be sending home a half-sheet which will have a place for you to write your Twitter handle/username and will reiterate that your class is on Twitter. Please staple this to the front of your students folders or planners.
