      I found his name to be delightful!

      I am sure the students did too. We will never know if he is actually a Nerd. Not my place to judge.

      can you have more than one? is it meant to be a professional or personal tool?
  • not a place for me to connect with students from my school.

      Excellent point

      would love a copy of these.
  • I reserve the right to unfollow you

      that's right, big fella. that is important because I think people have a false sense of confidence behind a keyboard.

      very true.  good observation.

      it is good to tell them at the start. the student probably does not want to be the only unlisted kid in the chat
  • 2) Create a Set of Follow Rules to Share with Students
    • Daniel Salvas
      Daniel Salvas on 24 May 12
       
      Important to maintain order over the students.  It could be very easy to get overly "silly" online.

      agreed

      Agree! Setting guidelines for students is so important!
  • 1) Have a School-Only Account
  • DM me a question
    • Beth Hancock

      Direct Message
  • Some people might raise an eyebrow if teachers and students are communicating behind the privacy of DMs

      I wonder if teacher's have been reprimanded for these 'relationships" Do all school districts have guidelines for twitter and other social networking?
    • Daniel Salvas
      Daniel Salvas on 24 May 12
       
      Very true, I feel especially for male teachers.
    • Caitlin Anelli
      Caitlin Anelli on 24 May 12
       
      check with the school
  • 3) Limit the DMs
    • Daniel Salvas
      Daniel Salvas on 24 May 12
       
      Always better to have witnesses.
  • By following these three guidelines, I have a great Twitter relationship with my students

      He shows a great way to interact with students, but also does a good job of showing the responsibilities that come with the territory.

      Why are people so interested in what others are up to?  Feedback.

      I think it's just the world we live in. craziness!

      It seems like a "bit much" to me.  Just sayin'

      I think it's a conceited way to feel like what you have to say is valid. 15 minutes of fame...Not into Twitter but know a guy from High School on Facebook-no one remembers him except for the fact that he never said a word(very shy)-has over 500 friends on FB and is always posting-very strange

      Interesting idea to set up account for students and parents
    • Stephanie Falcone
      Stephanie Falcone on 24 May 12
       
      I agree. I actually really like that idea.
    • Gina Renda
      Gina Renda on 24 May 12
       
      You'd have to be careful and specifically outline rules for posting
  • In the classroom, I might set up a Twitter account for just my students and their parents

      How would this work for digital immigrants?

  • I also think it would be interesting to track brainstorms -- students immediately post a thought on Twitter as it enters their head, regardless of whether that idea fits into the current classroom lesson, making the site, if you will, a "parking lot" for thoughts.

      I'm pretty against twitter but this is an interesting concept.

      that is cool. esp. if it is on a projector
    • Gina Renda
      Gina Renda on 31 May 12
       
      allowing teens to "immediately" post what comes to their mind can be not only dangerous-lol-but it could be a waste of time weeding out the impulse/nonsense. Think it's better to let them think first before they "blurt" ideas. Definitely can get out of control or potentially lead to some touchy situations.
  • 140 characters per pos

      I feel like 140 characters is alot for just a status update.
    • anonymous
      anonymous on 24 May 12
       
      Agreed.  And I feel like that's exactly what it is...a status update.
    • Gina Renda
      Gina Renda on 31 May 12
       
      Agree as well. Status should be simply, direct, to the point. Isn't that the purpose of Twitter-quick glimpse?
  • It's a nice way to keep up informally with colleagues, family, or friends
    • Stephanie Falcone
      Stephanie Falcone on 24 May 12
       
      I agree to a certain extent, but you can also keep in touch by e-mail, phone, etc.
    • Gina Renda
      Gina Renda on 31 May 12
       
      Hate to admit it, but my phone conversations are getting shorter and far between because I'm getting better at texting. Just don't have time to sit and chat anymore.
  • A teacher might also share short updates at the end of each school week as a simple way to keep parents informed
    • Stephanie Falcone
      Stephanie Falcone on 24 May 12
       
      Keeping parents in the loop is so important!
  • As a creative project, a teacher could post a short-story starter, then let students continue to write the story as a group, each taking turns creating the next sentence or two.

      Guidelines would need to be set so things would not become inappropriate.
