Trying to use twitter

Well, I read all the articles about using Twitter for educators. They made it sound easy. I logged into my Twitter. There was no place to write anything. I clicked on help on the bottom. I watched the video. They sure used a lot of words, spoken very fast. I went back to my twitter. Still didn't look like what the video said. Okay, found the sign in bit. I wrote a tweet. Then I did a search. I found my tweet and nothing else. I found a place to get esl jobs, but no one to follow. I found a place for conversation ideas, but no one to follow. I'll keep trying but not today.
