Get reminders via Twitter

English 1, For Parents, Techy Tips  Tagged , , No Comments »

Beginning today, I’ll send homework updates on the Twitter network.

To get updates, you need to do the following:

  1. Sign up for Twitter. Be sure to use an appropriate screen name.
  2. Click the following: My Twitter account
  3. Underneath my picture will be the word, “Follow.” Click on that and you’ll get all my updates.
  4. Don’t worry, I will not follow any of your updates.

To get the updates on your phone:

  1. Go to settings in the upper, right-hand corner on Twitter.
  2. Click “Devices.”
  3. Enter your cell phone number
  4. Select, “It’s okay for Twitter to send txt messages to my phone. Standard rates apply.” (Be sure to get your parents’ permission first!)

Make it private!

  1. Go to settings
  2. Scroll to the bottom
  3. Click on the button that says, “Protect my updates.”

Twitter and NASA

Random Thoughts  Tagged , No Comments »

As you may, or may not, know, NASA recently landed a probe on Mars. Well, to keep the updates coming, they are using Twitter. If you have heard of Twitter (from my class probably), following the Mars lander updates would be a perfect way to be introduced to the power of the site.
