Twitter Chats are a great way for you and other educators to collaborate, generate new ideas, and discuss various Edmodo-topics. During Twitter Chats, moderators lead a conversation on Twitter about a specific topic using a pre-determined #hashtag on every tweet, and participants can join in the conversation by responding with that #hashtag.
The amazing Edmodo Support Ambassadors organize a Twitter Chat every first and third Sunday of the month at 8pm Eastern using the hashtag #edmodochat.
Welcome to #EdmodoChat, everyone! The Buncee team will be moderating the #EdmodoChat with Sharon Clark @holygirl22 today. So, please make sure to follow both of us!
Hi Katy, you can either hop on with Tweetdeck, or you can go to Twitter search, and type in #EdmodoChat, and click on Latest. (The second method requires you to refresh regularly...)

A1: My superintendent @joeyhassell tweets EVERYTHING positive and/or informative! He sends emails, uses other SM platforms, and he makes himself visible in the community to "spread the word!" #EdmodoChat
A1 We’ve found that the newsletters that get read are ones that are easily perused, colorful, and that balance necessary news with district/school highlights. #EdmodoChat
A2: Positive social actions taken by Ss outside of school are highlighted in our local paper which are then posted on our school "highlights board." Ss get shout-outs over the PA System, and information is shared through social media. #EdmodoChat
A2 Whether it’s Ss themselves, or Ts singing Ss’ praises, we’re in favor of creating fun graphics, posters, and video to celebrate good things students are doing in the community. #EdmodoChat
A2 I like to give students shout outs great positive skills, working well with partner etc. We also have Class Dojo where they can be rewarded extra points for great things #edmodochat

A3 Giving agency to every student is an important step in highlighting diversity. When students are encouraged to create, and their work is shared in a public space, their voice, and their buy-in grows. #EdmodoChat
I remember back in middle school we would bring in foods from our cultures and backgrounds. The teachers would invite our families in as well, allowing us to grow as a community #edmodochat
#Edmodochat A3 By creating scenarios and opportunities to make diversity a unified version of enhanced collaboration : #stuvoice + social emotional skills+ critical thinking+reflection+action to reach a whole child within a whole community.
We celebrate all the special cultural days of our students and community each month. We have many special presentations for Chinese New Year, Ramadan etc. #edmodochat
So cool! It is like getting to know your CEO if you work a bit company. You may not get to be in meetings with him/her but you want to say you support their decisions. #edmodochat
A4: Ss collaborate in small group settings allowing them to form relationships. They learn to be accepting and appreciative of differences. We use online journals and blogs to expand our voices, and community members/professional teams are Ss mentors and coaches. #EdmodoChat
Hey Carrie! Are the emails fun? Seems a little boring...they could do a bit better if you are working as hard as I know you are to make your classrooms interactive! #edmodochat
A4 Give Ss opps to work together in class and build those relationships with each other and the T, then connect your classroom with others, #globaled#edmodochat
A4 Giving students a safe place to share their work online where they can interact and comment on each others’ ideas and work is a great start to this. https://t.co/iS0Epmc1Tv#EdmodoChat
A2: I try to attend school activities of my Ss, especially if they personally invite me. And bc I am a Twitter fool, I will post on my Twitter Scholar Bowl account. Plus I will say something to them when they enter the room. #EdmodoChat
{edmodo: RT Buncee: Q3: #EdmodoChat - Appreciating diversity in a school is a great way to demonstrate community. How has your school/district spotlighted its diversity? https://t.co/gl1gfISVzB]

#Edmodochat A 4 Participating in global events, mystery Skype sessions and pen pal projects that promote global awareness as a way of decoding the world , understand our local scenarios and find a way of expression as main protagonists in interaction.
Q5: #EdmodoChat - What does advocacy look like for students in your classroom/community? What are some ways or tools that students use to amplify their voices?
I did Sharon, but I ate yours on the car ride home . oops, sorry about that! But, I promise to buy you a double scoop when we get together, hopefully soon :) #edmodochat
#edmodochat I agree with you Linda that is a way to give voice to our Ss and get connected. I am in Argentina and my kids are communicating via Flipgrip with their peers in US
A5: We are a Leader in Me Community/School, based on Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People." We're teaching our Ss to implement Habit #8 - Find Your Voice. #EdmodoChat
A3: Our ESL department hosts a Latino Dance to raise money. This year it was attended by abt 200 non ELS and most of our administration. We had a great EL parent turnout. #EdmodoChat

{edmodo: RT carrierenfro: A4: We have an academy advisory board that volunteers to work with students and find mentors for specific requests. #edmodochat]
A4: I got to go to the elementary school when I was in middle school to tell them how it was going to be. It would be cool if this could be done digitally like a wall of advice, "How to survive middle school successfully?" #edmodochat
A5 Advocacy for Ss means that Ts are looking out for Ss' best interests, as well as including Ss' opinions in their thinking/planning. When Ss have tools, spaces, and agency to self advocate, Ts are more effective partners for those students. #EdmodoChat

{edmodo: RT Buncee: Q7: #EdmodoChat - What resources have you found helpful in teaching your students about the power of their own stories? https://t.co/wnAgHNY99s]

A8 Well, of course we’re going to say Buncee! Buncee shares easily to Edmodo, and works nicely when sending things to a mailing list, too! https://t.co/vuH1MLtQT0#EdmodoChat
