Twitter

Mr Rose uses twitter in many aspects of teaching. We tweet tutorials, instructions, help files, recaps, revisions aids, and helpful articles all the time.

You should ensure you maximise your chances of seeing these, and check twitter daily.

You will all set up a professional Film Studies twitter account in the next few lessons. However, if you have a personal twitter account, please follow Mr Rose now.

We will not (can not) follow your personal accounts. But we strongly encourage you to follow from all your accounts.

If you don't have twitter, you can still access the tweets at www.twitter.com/gary_rose. Add the URL to your bookmarks.
