Becoming part of the conference twitter stream!!

We will be using twitter as our back channel tool at the conference, so it is of the utmost importance that you register for a twitter account (if you do not have one already) and become part of the conference stream. Just remember to add the hashtag #schoolnetsa11 to your tweet (anywhere). For further directions work through this little "how-to":

I will be doing 3 twitter themed presentations if you want to see how we can use it in the classroom.
