I’m very interested in this one ! How does work?
I want to learn more about class dojo too.
How did you link Twitter to Moodle ? That could be very useful for a lot of Ts!
you can embed a Twitter stream into a HTML block in Moodle
Have you been in my classroom? :D
its a reward system / parent messaging / social media app for free
nothing fancy I just copied the link in to tweet. I'm sure there is a way to embed it but I'm a bit tech challenged!
- if a school doesn’t use this, is a trainee crossing a boundary to intro it?
Totally agree! https://t.co/tPGCQ7O7ut
is an amazing programme for engaging parents. Going down a storm with our parents
A2 How do you do this ? Would like to do this next academic year with my Ss
I think may be the man to answer this!
We use for rewards but I'm prob not using to its full extent. Need to explore further
I've used Skype to connect to artists and authors but not Twitter... Yet!
will write a short blog post about it with pics and everything later!
Love ! Great for engaging parents too! https://t.co/ikSHnnEim2

I've seen classes send photos of their art to illustrator who's inspired them & they got a reply. https://t.co/wXDnhITSoo

Here’s you’re own Q to ease you in Claire! How do you use Twitter in your classroom?

Wow an excellent connection
No but it looks great! I'd love to try this! Thanks, Simon 👍🏻
I would love to know some of the artists! Would be great to give them a shout out for good sport!
A4 I've used it for key word ping pong, bit like word association, to explore links btwn concepts
Popping in late..hello my friends!
Exactly & have you caught up
Twitters a brilliant way for older students to learn conciseness - it’s defo helped me!
You're on fire tonight Jon! Gets a little addictive doesn't it :)
In teaching, Twitter can connect learners with people and places of significance across the world. https://t.co/XJ3YJgVX5I
A3 is like to do more of this but am unsure where to start! Tips welcomed 😊
Key point! I’ve had to learn to be concise too! Definitely helped my writing! https://t.co/xI2UxwkAsU
Twitters a brilliant way for older students to learn conciseness - it’s defo helped me!
Agree or economic with the truth! LOL!
directly can't claim to use T, indirectly thru great innovations I learn from Tweachers- all the time
A3: Here is a great resource to get you started connecting to other classrooms via https://t.co/ygmpsu67zI Add you name
Is there no end to your talents Jon :)
I have to admit I do this too! Love to see how other Ts ideas will work in my classroom! :) What has worked for you?
as long as its professional … ;)
Yes we did same- sent their sketches along with their writing. Purpose and audience WIN WIN
I think is exceptionally good with connecting his class of future Ts globally! :)
That is really amazing!! I have to try this out!!
Same as me taking to Ss is the next step
Yes! is the man!! https://t.co/aXISCPLUdT

too many ideas to fit! Love blogs and google sites and power of GAfE to blend, flip & focus on students
fabulous writing outcomes! Loved it! Want to do it more often
There will be a lot of members picking your brain after this chat! Me included!! :)
You'll have to change your twitter handle to Graham 'infographic' Andre' ;)
been called much worse things Simon :-)
Just make sure Ss know how to be safe online & maybe have them practice tweeting first
😂 great - I am defo not world expert (like you lot) but totally happy to enthuse & share
Perhaps we should have a poll :D
ooh you little tinker, you know how much I love a poll 😊
Agree cover this in tutorials part of UK commitment in
Last question coming up! I’m REALLY looking forward to the answers!
Thanks for link will take a look later
A5:Will depend on what u are using for ur blog. Caution:if you sync it make sure EVERYTHING you tweet & other's tweet is appropriate
That's always good to hear.
Thanks will investigate these
me too - total Typorama tart (is that too rude?)
I love it so yes, probably! 😊
Agree! Love . Haven't use scoopit for a while!
Absolutely also warn them about putting to much personal info on FB
You're contribution is always valued Vicki!
A6: I think using Twitter trending topics (if applicable) is a great way for Ss to get a "pulse" on a real-time event.
we use older students to run sessions for staff esp useful w Soc media ( snapchat etc)
If only I could get adults to do this!
We do something similar! We call them Digital Leaders!
Love this Claire! Who better to learn from than the S users!
A6 provide links thru Twitter e.g. Scoop It Also I need to try to publish books & upload links to VLE via Twitter
