TTT - Twitter Guide

Technology tips and tricks on a regular basis. View this email in your browser TweetDeck Guide A Resource Hello Sequoyah,  On Friday we looked at the Mashable website with their great guide to using Twitter. Today we look at the Mashable site on TweetDeck.  TweetDeck is a twitter interface that allows multiple columns to be shown on the screen. I have my stream up from both my personal and business accounts. I have a list up of teachers I follow. I have up two or three hashtags streams too. I will add hashtag streams as topics of interest pop up. The opening of the Corning Museum West Wing was a great hashtag to follow for a couple of days.  TweetDeck is a great resource and an easier way to keep up with all the Twitter chatter. There are other resources online similar to TweetDeck, so look around a bit and you may find something you like even better. Take a look at the Mashable article on TweetDeck:  http://mashable.com/2013/11/07/tweetdeck-beginners-guide/ Thanks and don't forget to be awesome,  Andy Twitter Google Plus Instagram Copyright © 2015 Sequoyah Middle School, All rights reserved.

Living

How do we live? What is our lesson in life? My friend would tell the story. Walking along and there is a pebble in front of you. Bend down. Pick it up. Examine it. Toss it over your shoulder. Continue walking. Life is a circle. The pebble comes back up during your walk. Toss it over your shoulder again?

Email post via Mail Chimp

The Mail Chimp posting worked. It does not have the best formatting but works. Wondering now if I should make another blog and get it set up and then forward all my past technology tips to that blog email post address. May be a lot of work but could make for a good record of information.

The email post to Evernote worked too. Except with the basic Evernote account you can only send five mails. This was not apparent on the Evernote site when setting up the email service but they sent an email this morning letting me know it is a trail basis.

If you are interested in Evernote and signing up for the service I can get a month of premium service for referrals.
Go to: https://www.evernote.com/referral/Registration.action?sig=83162d9ba3038b35790c3c014c557aeb&uid=4094042
to sign up and install Evernote. New users will also get a month of premium service too.

TTT - Twitter Guide

Technology tips and tricks on a regular basis. View this email in your browser Twitter Guide A Resource Hello Sequoyah,  The Mashable website has a great guide to using Twitter. It is an older article updated about two years ago. Yes, two years is a huge long time in online years. So many things can change in a short amount of time.  I think the key to Twitter is simply using it. Get on. Look around. Have it going in the background throughout the day. It is like the news ticker at the bottom of the screen. If you see something of interest click on it. If you see someone tweet something you like follow them. Retweet it if it is something awesome. Take a look at the Mashable article if you are having trouble getting started or are wondering what to do next.  http://mashable.com/2012/06/05/twitter-for-beginners/ Thanks and don't forget to be awesome,  Andy Twitter Google Plus Instagram Copyright © 2015 Sequoyah Middle School, All rights reserved.
