Tweeting...

I have recently set up a Twitter account for our schools. To be honest, I've never really seen the point of Twitter for social networking because I really don't need to know what anyone is doing at every single moment of the day. However, you can't argue the practicality of pushing out information to folks at the push of a button. My thought behind the Twitter account is to be able to send out notices about snow days (probably done with those for this year!), reminders of minimum days, or emergency information. I don't really plan on using it that often, as I don't think I'll be tweeting about what I'm having for lunch. Also, one of the practical issues I'll have to overcome is the filter at school. When I checked today, Twitter is blocked by our filter. I'll have to work away around that to make it work (probably just ask a student to help me!).
