A1: I have S use Twitter as the new library.  To research and learn about bias of sources in real world application.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Absolutely! Sometimes when I get stuck in a rut, I know I can find new ideas from like-minded leapers  
 
 
 
 
 
 you too! Fast, furious and energized learning with Twitter chats! ❤️ them!  
 
 
 
 
 
  Which is complete old school thinking...... 
 
 
 
 
 
 Pearls of growth wisdom"If there's no risk of failure it's not a challenge." "Get comfortable being uncomfortable" 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I agree!  It helps us feel we are not alone or totally crazy.  
 
 
 
 
 
Love this about Twitter!  So many great ideas from great  ...  https://t.co/DjDmTthrUb  
 
 
 
 
 
 I like that I don't feel like a square peg in a round hole. There are others willing to take the leap w me.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A1: As a social studies T I find valuable resource sharing in content-specific chats like 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2 acknowledgement of source, your viewpoint and a hashtag to share with those who may be interested  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  I was the same then stopped..Now I put a chatroom on the projector instead so teachers can interact.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Q2 Always ask: does it help my room, or just make it more complex?  
 
 
 
 
 
 The STEAMroom is gaining momentum and media attention by the day .Its hands on and often student led learning  
 
 
 
 
 
 I often wonder what the "library" will be in 10-20 yrs. Will you walk to it? Visit it..or will it visit you?

A2: For me a model tweet follows:
Title + Site + Author + Hashtags + Image with Tagged Educators
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Challening, thought provoking, pushes boundaries.  
 
 
 
 
 
Where's  ? Long time no chat!  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Model tweets get to the point..use a ...attach a link or visual when possible..quote tweet, not just retweet  
 
 
 
 
 
 So true! It's like that pat on the back or the "job well done"  
 
 
 
 
 
Is there such a thing as a "model" tweet. I think we can learn from just about any tweet put out there.  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: The ideal tweet begins by connecting to you - only you can affect change that benefits student or self learning.

A2: Model Tweet: clear, useful idea; relevant image or link; purposeful hashtags; no so much private convo  
 
 
 
 
 
A2 I am all for tweets being a little gritty. Not just agreeing, but extending or challenging thinking. And tweets w/ links...  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Model tweets cause me to pause, reflect, quote it later.  
 
 
 
 
 
 A1. Twitter is my go-to place for PD when I need it, not having to wait for a F2F conference always  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: a "model tweet" recalls something in common, creates a new question, challenges a person to actively answer the question.

 If I project anything now it's a chatroom so teachers can chat and interact while i'm speaking. So much better  
 
 
 
 
 
A2. Good format (Q->A). Key words, real response, hashtag, lack negativity (it never helps). Punctuation makes easier 2 read.  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Sharing links, resources, others to follow...attach searchable hashtags that subtitle what you're sharing. Also supporting  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: tweet needs to have a good quote and i age for me to get interested in a tweet

A2: I'd say definitely hashtags to follow, handles connected to mentioned,  sites, great article sites, & work samples!  
 
 
 
 
 
A2. Important to note also the powerful learning happening on other platforms. Ex. G+ with communities and Facebook groups.  
 
 
 
 
 
 web address, picture, video. I need to see it for myself  
 
 
 
 
 
 It is great for emotional wellbeing....that's why I love my PLN  
 
 
 
 
 
 ooh yes, no excuse for poor punctuation  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: App/program used, thank those who introduced me to it, PICTURES to provide example/excitement  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2.2: Once connected to a tweet, use the idea, but most importantly, share it w/ others so they can see your results + passion  
 
 
 
 
 
A2 It takes practice/effort to be clear in limited # of characters. Appropriate hashtags are important.  
 
 
 
 
 
A2 great question, blog post, lesson idea, testimony of success, inspiration to keep moving...kind words from tech friends   
 
 
 
 
 
Perhaps there is no such thing as a model tweet...because different tweets serve different purposes?  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: A model tweet leverages connections like links, @'s & #'s to provide context and more info

A2:  A concise statement, preferably with a thesis, and perhaps an embedded infographic or a link to further information.   
 
 
 
 
 
A2) Model tweets include how Ss respond to tech. I love seeing pictures of Ss and how they are using classroom tools  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2 A Q about sth or a link to a blog, not much fits in 140 characters  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2 We also need to remember that everyone is at a different level of comfort. There does not have to be a right or wring way.  
 
 
 
 
 
 Model tweets ask questions w opportunities for interaction. Maybe a photo too to capture interest 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Model tweets aren't necessarily based on theory, but action and practicality.

A2 A tweet that is informational   to my PLN  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Really, a model tweet connects me to others. Doesn't have to have bells and whistles, just has to say something interesting  
 
 
 
A2: Be honest, be you, be real and tweet on! There are no rules to becoming a connected educator - just do it  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A1: Model tweet gets me thinking. Quote, article, blog post, graphic, question, etc.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 It's been a cool and rainy spring break here...back at it on Monday:)  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Model tweet, for me, can vary. It's whatever happens to strike a chord in me that day.    
 
 
 
 
 
 True. The best tweet is the one that communicates the message you intended  
 
 
 
 
 
A2-model tweet gives a link to a resource, a pic, or quote that inspires me to dig deeper and add to my list to learn.  
 
 
 
 
 
 Gr8 resource! Would love to share it in upcoming Twitter PD I am facilitating

 Same here.  A good chat can bring you out of the deepest funk.  
 
 
 
 
 
Good evening! EB from Texas. A2: model tweets inform. I'm still learning the process of tweet. I like to connect w/ leaders.

 I agree! I think good and relevant visuals definitely add to the message!  
 
 
 
 
 
Hey Hey ! Jumping in late. Leigh here from MO. HS Assistant Principal & Lifelong learner. Excited to join tonight! 
 
 
 
 
 
Good point  but maybe model tweet 4that purpose   https://t.co/h6Td1UhNpI  
 
 
 
 
 
Perhaps there is no such thing as a model tweet...because different tweets serve different purposes?  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 totally :) DM me I have more too  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2:Tweets that include links to resources that are mentioned and purposeful #'s help me learn best  
 
 
 
 
 
A2 Tweets that allow you to connect and communicate and don't just blabber out into the internet  
 
 
 
 
 
I also like tweets that ask, how are you? or just say hi. Shows we really have a community here  
 
 
 
 
 
 Thanks. I have a PD to present next term. Might give it a go  
 
 
 
 
 
A model tweet might show Ss doing something with opportunities for them to add  
 
 
 
 
 
 I'm a podcaster, too, so to draw an analogy: Twiter : FB, what all social media : podcasts. Much more, richer info.  
 
 
 
 
 
 Same here-even some snow I'm off-track so it's time to catch up and plan for end of year

A2 Ask a question. Tag as many people as possible. Use hashtags. Offer ideas. Thank everyone before anything is given.   
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Any tweet that simply sparks a conversation or learning is a "model" tweet to me. I have low expectations I guess.  
 
 
 
 
 
 I sometimes think we forget that Twitter can be used for more than just sharing resources with each other  
 
 
 
 
 
 It's a fast and furious one tonight!  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2 Most likely uses the phrase "what do you think/" or "why" IMO.   
 
 
 
 
 
 My lists are growing every day! Now, if I could just get back to that list... 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Add links to websites, articles, blogs, quotes. Add a picture !  
 
 
 
 
 
A2 model tweet is reflective, shares ideas, connects people and hopefully has a photo or a #    
 
 
 
 
 
  Yes, I love visuals to tweets- helps me find them!  
 
 
 
 
 
 We thrive in challenging situations! LOL  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 absolutely! Love to see students in action.  
 
 
 
 
 
 I think that's a great guideline for a model tweet! Sparks are key.  
 
 
 
 
 
 There are nights that I so look forward to the chats.  Lifeline.  
 
 
 
 
 
 That's what I was thinking....sometimes its just a reflection or comment.  
 
 
 
 
 
 I agree, Kathy!  has been a wonderful way to celebrate our community I believe!   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2 Above all, be polite. No excuse for rudeness  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 thanks for following Angie - great to be connected  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A1: Just starting to learn from educational Twitter chats - so much cool info!  
 
 
 
 
 
Model tweets also target  for interaction. Good for Ss to be succinct  
 
 
 
 
 
Watch for Q3 with  coming up in 1 minute!  
 
 
 
 
 
 Absolutely! Sad when they are cancelled or on holiday!  
 
 
 
 
 
 Has to be about self-discoverey and agency in and outside the classroom   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Hi--I have a busy night ahead; what about you?  Something tells me we will be at the same chats.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Tweets as questions, dialogues, notes, categories  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Add a visual, link or hashtag that can take the reader to more information or thinking  eg https://t.co/UtBuLDISKz  
 
 
 
 
 
 excellent observation, I agree wholeheartedly! We should be learning all the time and take risks, never settle  
 
 
 
 
 
A3: The hashtag  has helped me to connect with other Pre-T's and hear what they think and what they're learning about!  
 
 
 
 
 
   https://t.co/s3xoqeb9js  
 
 
 
Be sure to connect and follow ALL of the amazing educators here today - it is a place to connect and engage  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I know.  There is a sense of loss or missing out.  
 
 
 
 
 
 We just started working with  and will be starting soon w two more Australian Ss  
 
 
 
 
 
 I can't go too late or night or I cannot sleep. Yikes! What else are you doing?

A4: I share resources, tag people, RT, add # and email resources to get people to engage in SM.  
 
 
 
 
 
 Yes! What you see is what you get! :)  
 
 
 
 
 
 Well said. Definitely therapy. Our PLN is always a tweet or Vox away to answer Qs, offer ideas, …  
 
 
 
 
 
 or early from my perspective since it is tomorrow in Queensland  
 
 
 
 
 
A3: Target PLNs like  build community. Similar to  It's all about the connection. Wider the better 
 
 
 
 
 
  I've connected w/ educators all over the world. It's led to some great off Twitter collaborations   
 
 
 
 
 
   Nicely put! I like students to be extended not always advanced, their older time will come.
