Twitter In-Service
Tomorrow I will be doing an in-service on using Twitter in the classroom. My colleague, Doug Zywiol, joined my department last year having never used it before and attended my Twitter in-service. Now he is a force and will show you how to do warm-ups using Twitter while I will have a hands on demonstration on using Twitter for your PLN and how to use a hashtag for discussions. We will be in room 228 during session A. If you are not a FCPS teacher, use the video above to learn how to use Twitter. If you prefer seeing it all written out, here is a great set of written instructions and below is a summary of them:
For your PLN, a great group to follow is listed below:
Ken Halla @kenhalla
Cool Cat Teacher @letytijerina
We Are Teachers @WeAreTeacher
Larry Ferlazzo @LarryFerlazzo
Eric Sheninger @NMHS_Principal
Richard Byrna @rmbryne
Shelly Terrell @ShellTerrell
For hashtags, go to this link to see how my classes use it for government discussions returns, presidential debates and reviewed for the exams. Below is a list of hashtags you might want to follow. Some other useful ones are #SSChat (social studies), #HistoryTeacher and #GeographyTeacher. To find a hashtag, type in the # symbol plus the name in the search engine in Twitter and the conversation will appear. If you want to be really blown away go here for the 300 most popular hashtags for educators.
Educational Chats: #edchat, #schools, #lrnchat, #TT (Teacher Tuesday), #GlobalEd
Technology Chats: #edtech, #elearning, #mlearning (mobile learning), #edapps, #gbl (games based learning), #islide2learn (iDevices & learning), #vitalcpt (effective use of tech in the classoom)
If you want to both follow a hashtag and Tweet at the same time, I'd suggest you use TweetChat. Below is a video on how to use it.
