Digital Learning Day - February 23

Twitter Tip
When you quote a tweet, the quoted tweet does not show up in the original poster's mentions or count towards their retweets. The original poster may never know you've retweeted them.
Keep the original poster in the loop by adding their Twitter handle in your comments when you're quoting the tweet. This will cause the quoted tweet to show up in their mentions!
