Twitter can be an incredible tool for both teachers and students when used correctly.

Here are 7 Effective Ways To Engage On Twitter

1. Promote οthers
   Make sure you retweet your most passionate followers. Thank them and link to their social properties #FF (Follow Friday) and #Recommend others and their work.
2. Be the 1st to break the news
   Your followers will come to rely on you as an expert and will foster the conversation around your tweets.
3. Infuse personality into your profile
   Use a real picture of yourself and highlight your passion in your bio.
4. Ask for a retweet
   Ask and you shall receive: A call for them to "please RT" could make your tweet go viral
5. Connect people
   Be a connector in real life and on social networks. Your credibility goes up and people are more likely to engage with you.
6. Tweet again
   Schedule multiple tweets in advance during multiple days. There's good chance that most of your followers won't catch your 1st tweet.
7. Leave space
   If you want to be retweeted, leave the room for others' Twitter handles and a little space so they can add a brief comment.
