Back in 2011 I became enthralled with a social media site called Twitter. While attending the NJPSA/FEA/NJASCD Fall Conference Eric Sheninger opened my eyes to the power of Twitter for professional growth purposes and as a way to brand your school. Some time later in 2012, Scott Rocco and I connected on Twitter and launched #Satchat as a way for educators to share best practice ideas and resources. Fast forward to the present, and I am honored to announce the release of a book that I co-authored with Billy Krakower and Scott Rocco titled 140 Twitter Tips for Educators. The passion the three of us have for this magnificent tool will no doubt come through in this how to guide. 

Want to learn how to set up a Twitter account? How about coming across some clear cut examples of how schools leverage the power of Twitter to tell their story? Thinking of starting your very own Twitter chat? All these questions and so much more are answered for you in great detail. 140 Twitter Tips for Educators provides insights, images, and a wealth of resources aimed at getting the most out of this micro blogging tool. From a personal standpoint, I share my thoughts on how Twitter changed my family's dinner conversation. Billy and Scott also provide practical examples of how Twitter can move educators from good to great. 

So what do you say? Have we peaked your interest to possibly delve into the wonderful world of Twitter? This book is great for the teacher or administrator looking to enhance their impact. It's also a wonderful resource for an entire school or district to tackle. There is something for everybody in 140 Twitter for Educators. The bottom line is that Twitter has done so much for Billy, Scott, and I that we felt compelled to spread the love. Make sure to check the #140EduTips hashtag to stay in the loop with all things Twitter in the world of education. Purchase your copy today by clicking
