1. Say goodbye to the egg! Replace the egg on your Twitter profile with a photo of yourself or a graphic which represents you or your classroom or campus or program (remember your Twitter "Why"). Be mindful of copyright. For example, don't use a random picture from the web or a brand symbol like the Apple logo or a Disney character as your profile pic.
   
   
2. Fill out the location and bio portions of your profile. Make these relevant to whether your account is personal/professional or a classroom/campus/program account.
   
   
• If your account is representing your classroom or program (like band or journalism), make sure you include your campus and "Georgetown ISD" in the bio. Spell out Georgetown; we aren't the only GISD in Texas, even if we are the best one!
• Website is optional. If you're a teacher or program sponsor/leader, you might want to put a link to your class or program website.
• Birthday is also optional. Remember anyone on the internet can see what you post for your birthday.
  
  
3. When you finish hatching your egg and filling out your bio, tweet Suzanne and Sandy letting them know you've completed your profile. Mention their Twitter handles, @smarchman and @DLCoachSandy in your Tweet, and include the class hashtag #GISDTweets so you get credit for completing these tasks!
   
   

1. Make sure you are following Suzanne (@smarchman) and Sandy (@DLCoachSandy).
   
   
2. Follow at least 5 GISD accounts so you will get an idea of what it's like to get Tweets from multiple people.  After our assignments are complete this summer, you can unfollow anyone whose Tweets aren't interesting to you.
   
   The two links below will help you find more GISD people to follow:
   
   Link to participants in both sessions of Twitter for Educators: http://tinyurl.com/GISDTweeps2016
   
   Find lots of GISD accounts on slides 19 and 27-30 in our presentation from class: http://tinyurl.com/TFE2016
   
   
3. Follow @GeorgetownISD too!
   
   
4. Be sure to follow anyone else of interest to you as you begin exploring Twitter.
