Once it is on your timeline, you can rearrange the order by dragging the post to where you want it. While searching Twitter, you may want to exclude retweets, which you can do by unchecking a box you see just below the search field. This eliminates most duplicate tweets. ADD TEXT: If you hover the mouse over the newly dragged post, you may “Click to Add Text” to type a reaction to that particular post. (Note that this “Click to Add Text” bar only appears when you move your cursor onto your timeline.) You can provide a running commentary if you’d like. Maybe you want to separate photos out into categories, or give chronological headings. SEARCH FOR VIDEO CONTENT: If you would like to include videos to tell your story, you can change your search to YouTube, and search as you would for a post from Twitter. Then, as you did earlier, you drag it into your timeline exactly where you want it-or double-click the video and it will appear at the top of your timeline Last updated 3/31/2015 [email protected] www.pace.edu/digitaltoolkit 914 773-3333 (ITS Help Desk) 914 773-3664 (Office) D I G I T A L VIDEO TOOLS TOOLKIT CLICK HERE !
