“Digital citizenship is the ability to participate safely, intelligently, productively and responsibly in the digital world. “Digital citizenship should also include positive, creative, deliberate use of technological tools and skills to create, connect, communicate, and collaborate in ways that make a positive contribution to family, school, and community life.” — Digital Citizenship Utah (http://digcitutah.com/)

So rather than spending time on how to sign up for twitter, the anatomy and mechanics of a tweet, I want us all to jump right into the middle of things. We are going to do that by using hashtags to search and filter twitter in realtime. You don’t need an account to do this, and I’m going to suggest to you today that it is perfectly okay for you to begin by being a lurker on twitter. You don’t need to start by setting up your bio and picture (although these things are important if you are going to use twitter to its full potential), or by tweeting things.

Twitter Vocabulary Tweet: Each of your twitter posts is known as a tweet. Retweet (RT): When you share a tweet with your followers. Reply: When you respond to a tweet from a particular user. Hashtags: Hashtags are words or acronyms that begin with the number sign (#). They are used when many people are tweeting about the same topic or from the same event. This makes your tweet searchable. Follow: To follow someone on Twitter means to subscribe to their Tweets or updates on the site. Follower: While Facebook requires that all relationships be reciprocal, Twitter allows for one-way relationships. If you find Twitter users who are interesting, you can follow them to subscribe to their tweets. Mention: Mentioning another user in your Tweet by including the @ sign followed directly by their username is called a mention. .
