Building Your Twitter Base

One of the challenges in using Twitter to connect to people and ideas is finding the right people sharing information that's relevant to you. At this point in the game, it's a good idea to build a solid base of people to follow. Don't worry... it's OK to lurk, or to simply hang out, watching and listening. We'll get to the participation part later.

To help you in your search, below are some articles and lists of some of the best educators to connect to in the Twitterverse.

Before following them, be sure your profile indicates that you, too, are an educator, and maybe even some areas of education. This will increase the likelihood of them following you back, strengthening your network.

Aside from these links and resources, another great way to find people to follow on Twitter is to look at who these education leaders follow. Read through their Tweets and find the ones who are sharing resources relevant to you.
