Sharon Irvine, executive director of
human resources for Ypsilanti (Mich.)
Public Schools, says she has used Twitter
prolifically in her human resources role
and in her former role as a principal. “The
first thing to do is start following credible
sources,” she says. “Start with formally
credited sources, such as departments of
education across the nation, and get as
many different sources of information as
possible. You want to build your library
and personal information feed.” In doing this, she continues, you are building a
news feed of reliable information that can
lead you to other users who may weigh in
on topics that are important to you.
