Developing and Deepening your PLN with Twitter - Hashtags For Educators

As you already know, I am a huge fan of Twitter for growing your Personal Learning Network (PLN). One of the underused features of Twitter is the hashtag (#).  Hashtags are essential for searching the Twitterverse for a subject and are also handy when appended to your own tweets to extend their influence.


Great List of Hashtags For Educators

Recently read a post on Karlana's World regarding #hashtags for education. Here, you can learn how to use #hashtags and how to monitor the most useful #hashtags for education and learning.


Cybrary Man offers an even more extensive list of Hashtags building upon Karlana's list.


Librarian Phil Bradley suggests: Twapperkeeper as a handy resource for keeping track of tweets that use a particular hashtag. Twapperkeeper does not do this automatically -- you have to go to the site and set up an archive, so that Twapperkeeper knows that it needs to look for tweets mentioning a specified hashtag. After setting this up, you can also get these tweets as an RSS feed, or download the file. It can also archive tweets based on a keyword search or user name.

I would add this set of  hashtags for librarians:

#libraries, #librarians, #streetlit, #Goodreads, #Awards,  #readers,  #YA, #lib_resources, #school #library , #infoliteracy, #medialiteracy, #onlinesafety, #cyberbullying, #digitalcitizenship, #transliteracy, #YALSA 2011, #yalsa, #ALA, #Books, #literature, #bannedbooks, #reading, #amreading, #Kindle, #ipad,  #ebook,  #ereader, #mashable, #SocialMedia


Do you have any to add?
