Twitter announced this week that four of the social networking sites top 10 most shared sports tweets of 2013 were posted by NBA players.

Heat forward LeBron James, Knicks guard J.R. Smith and Lakers guard Kobe Bryant all appeared on Twitters top 10 retweeted sports tweets list, which also included messages from a soccer player, United States Soccer, a college basketball player and an NFL player. A retweet is a way for Twitter users to share someone elses content to their followers.

James, the NBAs reigning MVP, had the NBAs most retweeted message of the year back in February when he responded to ongoing comparisons with Michael Jordan.

Im not MJ, Im LJ, James wrote. That simple declaration has been retweeted more than 76,000 times, ranking fourth among all sports tweets. James would later discuss his Michael Jordan moment during the 2013 Finals in a Sports Illustrated cover story.

Smith followed one spot behind James for a trash-talking reply to then-Nets forward Kris Humphries, who talked a little smack about Brooklyn getting a win against New York at Madison Square Garden.

Big game tonight! The Garden got really quiet on the way out, Humphries wrote.Smith replied: Wasnt quiet when Kanye tore it down last month!

Humphries divorced reality television star Kim Kardashian after a 72-day marriage; Kardashian is now engaged to West, a popular rapper and producer. Smiths quip produced more than 62,000 retweets.

A late-arriver to Twitter, Bryant was the only NBA player to appear twice on the list. His first tweet The antisocial has become social #mambatweets produced more than 50,000 retweets, ranking eighth on the list. His most popular tweet, though, was a jab at Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who had wondered aloud whether the Lakers should use the amnesty clause on Bryants league-leading salary in response to new luxury tax rules put in place by the leagues Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Vlogmas Day 7 - Social Networking and Thank You - Video

DONNELLSON Central Lee may be moving into social networking, as was discussed by the school board at its regular meeting Monday night.

Teachers have approached Superintendent John Henriksen to open communications with Facebook and Twitter accounts. Henriksen explained that he did not use social media himself, so when he was approached, he contacted someone more experienced with school-wide social media sites.

The idea is not a new one, with many schools taking to social media to promote events and honor students, and provide weekly or monthly calendars. According to Henriksen, the Facebook and Twitter pages would be monitored by one person, who would post on behalf of the schools. The specifics of the school districts social media pages still need to be discussed.

We are still looking at internal policies to facilitate such a page, Henrikson told the board. The decision will be made at a later meeting.

Social networking websites are becoming increasingly popular. In any setting, the risks of inappropriate use of such a page are present. Henrikson presented a policy to the board that would limit the amount of communication between Central Lee staff and students.

Central Lee already has a policy in place that addresses reasonable professional communication between students and staff. The new policy would be more specific toward social media sites, and would address the staff friending or following students from their personal accounts.

Kim Miller raised her concerns about what would be considered appropriate connections.

With a smaller district like ours, there are more opportunities for relationships outside of school, such as church, she said, adding that different social media users would have different definitions of appropriate connections. Henrikson acknowledged the subjective nature of the policy, and the motion was tabled for further clarification.

Despite not having a social media site just yet, Central Lee is by no means lagging in electronic teaching methods. The school district is one of a few in the state with one-to-one computer capabilities, which made it a candidate for electronic testing. Some of this years Iowa Tests of Educational Development were taken on computers.

Curriculum Director Heather Fuger surveyed freshmen on the experience, and presented the board with the positive response. She said that the tools provided address major issues with test-taking in the past. For example, a student taking a test out of a book could not highlight or make any marks in the booklet. The electronic test was complete with a highlighter and the ability gray out answers at the students request.
