Educational Leadership:Schools, Families, Communities:Twitter: Not Just About Ham Sandw... - 2 views

  • Twitter can be an effective and easy way to provide real-time information to any interested member of your community with Internet access. You've connected. And believe it or not, that connection can help you build credibility with your community.
  • Whoa! Wait! We hear your protests. My community is not wired, you say. Not all my parents speak English. I don't have time. I've already sent out the newsletter—and that has all the news. Although it may be true that not everyone in your community has Internet access, you might be surprised at how much access your community has. Take a look at what the Pew Foundation has found out about Americans and technology today
  • This may sound silly, but there's an art to Twitter. Creating a useful message of 140 characters, spaces included, takes practice. Your long-term success on Twitter is closely tied to the quality of your tweets. The more specific your tweet is and the more it is tailored to a particular audience, the more compelling it will be.

About Connected Educator Month | Connected Educators - 0 views

  • Online communities and learning networks are helping hundreds of thousands of educators learn, reducing isolation and providing “just in time” access to knowledge and opportunities for collaboration. However, many educators are not yet participating and others aren’t realizing the full benefits. In many cases, schools, districts, and states also are not recognizing and rewarding this essential professional learning. For these reasons, the U.S. Department of Education’s Connected Educators initiative is launching Connected Educator Month in August 2012. Throughout August, there will be coordinated opportunities to participate in events and activities in dozens of online locations to develop skills and enhance one’s personal learning network.
  • An intensive, two-day online conference on transforming teaching and learning—featuring senior Department of Education officials and education thought leaders—will kick off the month. Plans are under way for opportunities such as: Month-long forums on key topics, such as personalizing learning and the future of the teaching profession, which will be moderated by noted education leaders and consist of online discussions, interviews, webinars, chats, and more. Guided tours and real-time community open houses, which will connect educators with communities, answering questions such as: Who can help me solve challenges I’m facing in my classroom and how do I best connect with them? How can I help change my profession for the better? Contests for addressing community challenges, developing innovative ideas, and creating compelling video demonstrations. Inauguration of a new series of open badges for connected educators as well as online communities. All events and activities will be archived and synthesized into multimedia “proceedings” that will serve as a permanent resource to educators and community sponsors.
