Facilitator: Dr. Catherine Giroux
During this introductory workshop on Twitter, participants will learn:

- what constitutes Twitter etiquette (including tacit norms, hidden curricula or social graces of tweeting)
- how to set up an account and log in

and will discuss:
- how to use Twitter to support their research and scholarly needs
- who we should be following on Twitter
- how to foster KT of IHSE research and promote our academic community
The workshop is intended to be interactive and informal.
In preparation, please bring a device on which you can access Twitter. A separate device (tablet, phone etc.) may be helpful but you can also access it through a browser in a separate window on your laptop or desktop.
Note that this session is designed for the Twitter novices. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate but if you are already skilled in Twitter, please feel free to use this time for other endeavors.
If you have specific questions you would like answered, please email them to Nicole Gignac at ihse.med [at] mcguill.ca by Monday noon, November 8th.
