      Good article for convincing non-tweeters that it is a good tool. For Carla Tech 11, we already know this information.

      I've only used twitter for 2 days, and I have ALREADY created a PLN that is full of ideas.

  • I now turn to Twitter friends for help in the same way that I turn to the teachers on my hallway. Recently, a friend in my Twitter feed pointed me to a great strategy for structuring classroom discussions, a practice I'd been struggling with (http://angelacunningham.wordpress.com/2009/05/teaching-students-to-dialogue.html).

      this would work!
  • he primary reason for my inability to embrace differentiation as a teacher was that, until recently, I'd never experienced differentiation as a learner. Like most practitioners, I've spent too much professional development time sitting in lectures delivered to entire faculties. No one offered preassessments, tiered lessons, or learning contracts to my colleagues or me.

    An interesting post coming from Gavin Dudeney on why he felt it was time for his twitter to close -food for thought? the opposite side of the coin? Let's discuss!

    I read this post, and then looked at what he has to say about PLNs. I must confess that I can't imagine when I will have time to regularly check Twitter (much less tweet) once school starts. And his points about PLNs match mine, too. I guess I am considering new things in this class primarily as vehicles to promote student learning and engage students.

    Jan - I had doubts as whether to add Dudeney's post here - but I decided to do so -to see other people's views-and especially those who have been using twitter for some time now (I am a new user myself). I have the same concerns as you and I happen to respect Gavin's work a lot (I am a little bit biased) as I have had the opportunity to meet him online in courses, read his books etc.

    I will check out his books now that you mention that he has some. He seems to be quite commonsensical, which appeals to me. thanks.

  • Remember to give students guidelines on ways they can respond. For example, they should not just say that they agree with what a certain student said. They should be specific and say what they agree with and why. Use specific examples in class of good posts and not-so-good posts.

      good suggestion not just for grade school students but high school students as well
  • talk to the other teachers in your school and try to agree on one or two social networking tools you will all use
    • Lorraine Effler
      Lorraine Effler on 15 Jul 11
       
      good idea if multiple teachers or departments want to use social media...not to overwhelm teachers or students
  • however, for teachers to regularly monitor the networks, removing inappropriate posts and keeping a dialog open with students about appropriate use of the school social network.

    Twitter, the micro-blogging platform, is getting more and more popular each and every day. And why wouldn't it? There are countless applications for mobile phones, third-party websites to add functions to it and above all; it's simple to use! So yeah, why wouldn't you use it and why wouldn't you use it to learn Spanish?
