101: The Basics

Twitter in Plain English

This Video Was Produced by Common Craft, a company specializing in video tutorials that explain tech ideas “In Plain English”

Why?• It’s like E-Mail and Instant Messaging, but we

don’t have to keep track of E-mail Addresses.• It lets everyone who wants to follow us know

what is going on at FCS.• It’s viral in nature, if someone “Retweets” to

their account, information can spread quickly.

Twitter Examples

Portage Schools

Broward County Schools

Jeff’s Twitter

What Do I Need to Do?• Get information worthy of “Tweeting” to Jeff

so he can get it out to our followers.• Consider how we could use this to promote

FCS.• Future: Consider if there are any uses for a

Twitter account in your building.
