   professional growth in an educational setting
Many areas within an educational institution require effective
     communication in order to help meet objectives.

So what does this have to do with Twitter?




    Think of Twitter as a tool
    that could be a worthy
    addition to communication
    tools already in use.
Twitter is...

  a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time
  (Twitter.com)
  a social networking and micro-blogging tool




Yes, but what is it?

  connections, conversations, community, and content
For educational institutions, Twitter can be...
  a cost-effective (free) option to accentuate existing messages;
  a broadcasting tool to announce relevant information to specific
  audiences; and
  a (brief) conversational tool to appropriately respond to relevant
  inquiries and follow-up questions or comments.
Two                      Types

                                Conversationalist
Broadcaster
                                  provides a quot;voicequot;
  useful if audience knows
                                  seen as an authority and
  what they are getting
                                  source
  another way to push
                                  ROE - return on engagement
  information
                                  a way to interact with those
  works best if you have good
                                  interested in the institution
  information to give
                                  all about building
  could fill a need from
                                  relationships
  specific area or topic
Twitter is not...




  a silver bullet for communication problems.
  quot;It won't replace crime alerts, regular campus e-mails or our cooperation with local
  news outlets to help ensure community awareness of important safety issues, but
  it's an important addition.quot;
  (quoted source from Univ. Michigan adds voice, text messaging for emergency notification)
