Results from Twitter goals survey
I am preparing an introductory Twitter presentation and am using information from a blog post by Charlene Kingston dealing with setting goals for your own use of Twitter.
I asked my Twitter PLN to answer a short survey on this topic. I sent the tweet out to my 4625 followers, and some of my followers re-tweeted the request to 4019 of their followers (who may or may not overlap with my followers.) I received 196 responses, many in the first few hours of posting the request on Twitter.
The yes/no questions were as follows:
The goals for the use of Twitter by the K-16 educators are illustrated in the graph below.

The yes/no questions were as follows:
- I am a K-16 educator or pre-service educator.
- I use Twitter to talk to friends and family
- I use Twitter to find business customers.
- I use Twitter to form a professional network
- I use Twitter to send out and share information.
- I use Twitter to receive information.
- I have more than one Twitter account so I can keep my personal and professional tweets separate.

8% of the non-K16 educators had separate Twitter accounts for personal and professional use.

I appreciate the clear pie charts you created through NCES. The key to your survey is Twitter PLN. A number of people have become frustrated with Twitter lately including me with all the Spam and 'noise.' If I would start again, I would strictly build a close knit PLN. Good strategy.
I found the information from the twitter graph to be very interesting. I know a lot of professionals who think twitter is just for kids and they dont see how helpsful in can be in interacting with other professionals; your survey abd graphed material made it clear for people to see how useful this technological enhancement is.

I am very new to Twitter and am trying to find the value. (I think right now I am still in the dazed-and-confused stage!)
I appreciate your blogs regarding Twitter!!
Would you suggest following your tweets INSTEAD of the blog- or both?
PS MY twitter name is go4parr. Thanks!!
If you find value in the blog, I would suggest you follow both the blog and Twitter. I provide different information in each place.
