How to sign up for Twitter
Verifying your email account with Twitter
Customizing your profile on Twitter
How does Twitter work?
Installing Tweetdeck
Customizing Tweetdeck
Finding people to follow on Twitter
Participating on Twitter

Thanks David – this is a fantastic resource for getting the most out of Twitter! TweetDeck is exactly what I needed as a newbie thinking “How do I keep track of all this?” and the search function for finding people adn interests a huge help.
Cheers,
Amy

I’ve tried Hootsuite, but not used it myself. I could look around to see if anyone has posted any videos explaining how to use it though.

These are great simple videos to introduce twitter to teachers.
One thing I see missing is how to write a tweet that is directed to a hashtag or one of your twitter followers or to someone you are following. Another plus would be to show how to shorten a URL to include in a tweet.
