Twitter tips from a pro

By @okieprof
It's always a pleasure to have colleague and broadcasting professor Desiree Hill @dezhill speak to my classes. She brings solid journalism experience combined with enthusiasm for learning and determination to stay up to date. Students benefit from her practical pointers on working in today's media mixed-up world, based on her research and experience.
After each speaker, the class debriefs, and here is a summary of each student's comments, recorded by @johngardener358.
