This document provides an overview of using Twitter for learning, sharing, connecting, and collaborating as part of a #DigitFoot12 course. It includes links to resources on setting up a Twitter account and using it effectively. A survey of participants found they use Twitter for a variety of purposes including professional learning and connecting with others. Participants requested additional support and guidance materials. The document proposes collaboratively creating a third part to the "Detective's Guide" on advanced Twitter use and provides a link for contributions.

• Users at all levels from entry to expert - Within our
DigiFoot12 group we could connect mentors with
beginners for additional support (PLN at its finest)
• Many use Twitter to connect and collaborate with
others, share links, search, chat, and most use it for
professional learning.
• A large variety of needs and next steps requested
by group members. Can we harness the
knowledge of the collective group and possibly
create a 3rd part to the Detective’s Guide?
