TweetDeck & 100s of Twitter tools for Teachers and All Features of Tweetdeck part 2 so this one must be the last part of TweetDeck trilogy. Here is a short tutorial explaining why I like to use TweetDeck.
My top tool is TweetDeck. Best feature in TweetDeck is that i can see multible columns in one view, very quick look and i know whats happening, like example today i have 15 columns open. First all friends, my top list, my iPad list, mentions, #RSCON3, #finnedchat, favorites, direct messages, new followers, #edtech, #mlearning, #ipadchat, #ipaded, Facebook, Linkedin.
I also open new columns for daily needs, like follow my new blog post retweeting (for thanking them), follow interesting hashtags, sometimes i follow one person, who has some spesific information, like Scott Newcomb @snewco from mlearning or @web20classroom Steven W. Anderson from everything related education technogy and many others.
Thats enough from my experiences, check out these tutorials, slides and links from TweetDeck and other hundreds of Twitter tools.
Found some great presentations from Slideshare about topics I have post before. Source is the SlideShare account of the Georgia National Guard. Tactical guides of Twitter, blogging, Facebook, social media, Flickr and Youtube.
In my first posts I present some ideas Twitter in Classroom part 1 and part 2 and also Facebook in Classroom. Since then many new updates has been published. But first you have good possibility to enjoy and relax by listening lecture, slidecast on Facebook Strategies for the Classroom by Kevin Lim. Lasting hour and 56 minutes!
