TWITTER CHAT TIME!
Join your #TeacherFriends for support and inspiration!
Dateline. Tuesday. That means TWITTER!
Tonight, August 18th we welcome THE Deb Chitwood
into our spotlight as tonight's #GuestEduCelebrity.
She's done it all: mom, homeschooling mom and now grandma, too!
She is known the world over in early childhood education for her blogging contributions on all things Montessori related. You certainly must follow her blog,
Deb has contributed monthly articles at our collaborative blog,
"PreK +K Sharing"
since the beginning of time.
Her monthly articles are legendary and her contribution is immense.
This month she has gathered FREE community helper resources.
I realize that Twitter is a foreign language to most in the ECE community.
Honest. I get it.
So last summer I set out on a mission to encourage the use of this platform.
I wanted to help other educators find support and inspiration and build their
PLN {Professional Learning Network}
in the process.
What better way to offer incentive to try something new?
OFFER PRIZES!
Tonight Deb will be giving a lucky participant a copy of her eBook!
Montessori at Home or School:
How to Teach Grace and Courtesy
I will be giving away my perennial favorite song,
"You're Wonderful"
to one lucky winner!
It is in digital download format over at my Teachers Pay Teachers store, which has already been placed on sale for the one day site sale that happens tomorrow.
The zipped file includes two Mp3 formatted pieces of music:
the song itself that I sing and
a copy of the instrumental for your use in performance!
Our other hostess' will also be offering digital downloads of their own!
BUT WAIT........... THAT'S NOT ALL...........
Deb has worked hard to get additional prizes.
MORE incentive to join us!
She's reached out to her friends at Little Passports.
One lucky winner will receive their choice between
their Coral Reef Kit and a Kit of World Coins!
And as if that is not incentive enough to open a Twitter account......
another winner is going to receive a
6 month SUBSCRIPTION to LITTLE PASSPORTS!
HOLD THE PHONE... SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!
THERE'S MORE!
Deb also reached out to her friends at
One lucky winner will have the opportunity to select
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS worth of materials of their choice!
That brings this week's prize incentives to nearly $300 worth of goodies!
I hope that we have your attention now!
Honest. You'll love us.
Some would go as far as to say that we're addictive!
In order to be eligible to win, you must come to Twitter and enter your name and contact information on our Google Doc that will be tweeted throughout the evening.
We start at 9PM EST with the official chat!
Our "Early Birds" begin to gather at 8:30 EST.... to 'practice & visit.'
The Google Doc is tweeted during Early Birds, too!
{The winners will be announced just before 10 PM.}

We are now using an 'open-chat' format:
giving you our questions AHEAD of time,
for your thoughtful reflection!
Here's this week's questions and their time frames.
You are welcome to 'schedule' your responses via Tweetdeck (or Hootsuite.)
When scheduling answers, please respond in the minute(s) FOLLOWING the question.
I use FREE Tweetdeck and adore their columns for organization.
