Webinar on 11/12/2015 by Christopher Bugaj
Face it, you're a muggle. There's an entire wizarding world happening all around you called Twitter. You've heard about it. You may have even tried it. But you don't understand how or why it works. Why tweet? What's a hashtag and how do I use it? What is a "chat," how does it work, and why would I ever want to be involved in one? This session will take you through the basics. Not only will you learn the "hows" of Twitter, but you'll learn the "whys." Learn why and how to search Twitter for assistive technology resources as well as find other users who share similar interests. Features such as hashtags, mentions, direct messages, and scheduled chats will all be discussed. Accio participanto!"
Episode #123 features a recording of a statement by the spokesman for N.O.T.S.I.C.K., the faux National Organization for Training and School Improvement in Classrooms for Kids, pertaining to the outbreak of the PD2.0 virus. A text version of this statement including additional visuals can be read at the Microsoft Partners in Learning Hot Topics Accessibility blog.
Visualization designed by Chris Bugaj (http://attipscast.com) about how to provide educators with options for how best they'd like to receive professional development.
