I am wondering if anyone has a good lesson plan or web site they could share about "planning, drafting, revising, proofreading and publishing a Personal story" for 2nd grade level.

      This is me! What can I do differently next year? My answer is PLN.
  • A profile will go a long way in letting people know who you are. This is the place you can put in your full school name, location, description and link to your school website. You will also want to put in a picture, either of a mascot or school symbol. That helps other users identify, quickly, who you are.
  • Hashtags- A good idea is to also come up with a hashtag. This will allow you to track conversations even if your account is not mentioned in a tweet. So for example we use in our district, the initials as our hashtag, #wsfcs. The hashtag is good because classes and teachers can send tweets and still reference your school with out mentioning you in the tweet. You can then collect them and retweet them as you see fit. And you don't have to follow everyone either to see what folks are saying. If you have monitors set up near your entrance you can use a program like Twitterfall to display all the tweets coming in on your hashtag. That might also entice folks to check out your Twitter account and learn more about your presence there.

      Our system uses PowerSchool for academic notices (assignments and grades), and each of the teachers has a website for information specific to what the teacher teaches.  I feel we need to be conscious of what we push notice out and feel that it would be inappropriate for teachers to push assignments and scores out to students. For example, if a student takes a one semester class 1st semester and gets assignments tweeted to their cell phone, then what prevents those assignments from being pushed out to them 2nd semester when they are no longer in the class (do they unsubscribe)?   It seems to me though that Twitter would be a useful option if hosted by the administration to post game scores or school cancellation notices or meeting reminders (so long as that last list were kept down to one or two important reminders a week - at MOST).
