Twitter Scavenger Hunt by Aime Forbes https://padlet.com/aime_forbes/rtgm26drx8sb en-us 2019-08-22 00:07:07 UTC 2019-08-22 00:16:25 UTC hello@padlet.com What is a Hashtag? aime_forbes https://padlet.com/aime_forbes/rtgm26drx8sb/wish/376193202
When you add a “#” symbol to the beginning of an unbroken word or phrase it will create a hashtag. To make connections to others when you Tweet, you will want to include a hashtag to link to all of the other Tweets that include the hashtag/topic.

Once you have decided on a hashtag, search for it on Twitter. Make sure it hasn’t been used in a while or in a way that would confuse your followers/audience. 

Tips: Hashtags should be short and distinct.  For example, #ncsulearns vs. #northcountrysupervisoryunionlearns. Hashtags are not case-sensitive, but adding capital letters does make them easier to read.
