#EdTechTeacherChallenge - January 2020: Twitter, Day 4

Check Notification Settings

Welcome to Day 4 of this months challenge. Today, we will be looking at Notification Settings. You will find these in your profile menu under "Settings and privacy" like yesterday.

Notifications sends an alert to your phone whenever certain Followers post a message, like, retweet or comment on one of your posts, or when certain people or organizations you follow post. If you have a lot of Followers or people you follow, these alerts can become very distracting.

Twitter's Notification Settings

Your Notification settings are another one of those your preference options. Here are my
recommendations:

* Do turn on "Quality Filter". This works similar to the "Quality Filter" for DM from yesterday, but for the content that you see in your feed.

Twitter' Push Notifications

* Do not turn on "Push Notifications". You do not want to get alerts on your phone all day long. Especially since you have to teach all day and attend to your other life duties after work. I promise you will not miss anything that you can't get back to later.




Today's challenge was light and simple. Tomorrow, we explore one last setting's feature with "Check your accessibility settings". Then, we can start having some fun. Take care!
