ADP Debate Watch Tweet-Up Guide

Mary Sorenson, a communications graduate student and instructor at Illinois State University, who brought us this October 2012 blog post about the Tweet-Ups, has compiled a report of the ISU and national ADP 2012 Presidential Debate Watch Tweet-Ups (co-sponsored by ADP’s Political Engagement Project and eCitizenship initiatives).

The ADP Presidential Debate Series Tweet-UP report, which can be downloaded here, describes:

• the Debate Watch Tweet-Ups, including ISU’s involvement
• online tools that were used to facilitate and analyze the Tweet-Ups
• strategies for student involvement
• sample tweets
• reflections on the tweet-ups
• potential future directions

As we begin to plan for a 2013 State of the Union ADP national Tweet-up, we hope you’ll consider how to politically engage students using Twitter and other social media platforms.

Thank you, Mary!
