Creating A Private Twitter Account Just For School Officials

Some schools will want to create a Twittr account that is accessible only by school staff, teachers, and administration.

A Twitter account such as this could be used to share information that is intended for school officials only – and not for the parents, students, or public at large.

To create a Twitter account for your school that is restricted to only those you wish to receive the “Tweets”, you need to create a new Twitter account using the steps provided in Module 1.

Once you have your new account created, log into the new account and click on the “Settings” link in the top right-hand corner of the page.

Then click on the “Password” tab.

You will then be asked to enter a password (twice – for verification purposes) into the two boxes on the bottom of the screen.

After clicking “Change” your Twitter account will now be blocked to everyone except for those whom you give the password you just created.

You can now go about distributing that password to the peple you want to receive your messages.
