They're Here...Now What?

We've asked for quite a while for administrators to come to this great technology party. Thanks to some great "party planning" by Lynne Herr and her ESU partners, a whole bunch of Nebraska administrators joined Twitter this week. Hat tip to Beth Still for creating this Twitter list of them!
But about mid-week, after a couple shout-outs, I got to thinking: Now what? They showed up. I can't tell you how excited that made me! But, well, um, I forgot to bring a yard game. How do we make it relevant. I see it happening in Iowa. I see other admins getting connected across the nation (ex: #cpchat). But how do we, the Nebraska "Welcome Wagon," as Lynne tweeted, make sure they have a good time and keep coming back to "our" party? 

• Hashtags: #ncsabootcamp and #cpchat were shared during their training and we'll have #neta11 coming up with our state tech conference. It was also shared to create their own (ala, #yorkdukes, #npspanthers, etc.).
• Twitter list: Hopefully the Twitter list, especially since they don't follow a lot of people now, will be a catalyst for growth. It only takes a couple to start the shift.

What else? There's lots of things that we could be doing to support the growth of these great administrators on Twitter. But what? We love this party and we want more people here. Thanks for sharing!
