TUESDAY TEACHERS TOGETHER TWEETING!
What is it like to be able to connect to your professional peers from across the country and around the world, in a couple strokes of the keyboard? Click, clack and the right hashtag and you are connected to like-minded individuals focused on a common theme.
Learning to take advantage of the power of 24/7 professional development and inspiration is the entire focus and goal behind our weekly Twitter chat at the hashtag #TeacherFriends.
What I started very innocently as an effort to encourage some of my non-Twitter-tweeps, to give Twitter a try, has evolved into something much more powerful. Our 'beginners' PRACTICE chat has grown beyond my wildest imagination when I started this thought 11 months ago!
I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to my three 'hostess' and dear friends who have contributed so much time and energy to supporting the chat experience and individual participants. Be sure that you are following Kristen, Maggie and Kim on Twitter to get the most out of our time together. They are a wealth of knowledge a year into the evolution of our chat!!
I know you're overwhelmed as the year concludes, but that is just the right time to dip your toes in the water! No pressure. Just lurk. Get your name on our Google Doc for the prizes, though. Make that your goal for tonight!
Tonight we welcome ClassDojo to our spotlight to share their insight and experience in building a bridge between teachers and parents. What a great way to conclude the year! PLUS they have some serious swag to give away!
See you on the hashtag #TeacherFriends. We start at 8:30 PM EST with our EarlyBirds portion of the evening. Perfect for the true newbie-to-Twitter orientation. The chat itself begins at 9:00!
