New to Math Twitter?
For help setting up a Twitter account (mine is purely for math teaching) you can follow these steps. You will need to decide if you want to also use this for your personal account too (although you can make a separate one to do this later.)
You need a twitter name (handle.) You can change it later, so don’t get caught up on this step.
If you are going to use this only for math teaching, you may not want to follow the suggestions Twitter gives you on who to follow.
Here are just a few you might like instead.

Hashtags are used to find information specific to a topic. If you type in a hashtag, you are not looking for a certain person (usually), but a broad topic. Typing in a hashtag in the seach bar will include all tweets with that hashtag. Common math hashtags include:
#iteachmath
#MTBoS (math twitter blog o sphere)
#statschat
#mathchat
#elemmathchat
#unitchat
If you are searching for people to follow, these hashtags can let you look through different math specific people you may wish to follow.
I know this seems overwhelming. I honestly lurked for several years before becoming an active participant (and mostly during the summer.) Play with it for awhile and let it be useful when you need or want to get a little extra math PD.
