I hear a lot of people on Twitter say "I usually just favorite tweets and go back later to read them." This is something I do as well. But it starts to get overwhelming! The favorites list gets longer and longer and much harder to navigate. I have started using Storify to categorize and organize tweets I have retweeted or favorited. With all the insightful and helpful resources I find on Twitter, I truly need a way to keep them organized for future reference. And the favorites list isn't working for me anymore! Storify to the rescue! Such a helpful tool!
This year, my school was doing intensive research about 1-1 and BYOD programs. We were asked to call other schools who have implemented and see about their results. I did this, of course. But I found most of the answers to my questions on Twitter. I came back with a much more enthusiastic and optimistic outlook of BYOD than some of my colleagues. As I was participating in chats, asking questions, getting answers, and finding sources, I started to keep track of them in a story on Storify. This helped me to synthesize the information and to share it back with the group of teachers doing the research. It also helped me to REMEMBER all the amazing ideas I had learned on twitter. Below is my Storify from my 1-1 Research and the most recent one I created called Blogging Tips and Ideas. Try this out tomorrow and see if it helps you organize and sort all the great ideas and links you find on Twitter!
