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.

If you participating in the #NCTEchat about the new year and new ideas maybe think about #Edmodochat and adding Service Learning to your teaching in 2018!
Icebreaker - I grew up with my mom running a child care center in our home. I never got paid but certainly changed a lot of diapers. I am guessing that is why I don't think middle schooler are as tough as preschool #Edmodochat#servicelearning

A4: Mr. Lovely is a high school teacher from Indiana who believes teaching service and philanthropy "provides students with the skills they can use in their lives after they graduate high school, and the importance of service over self." #Edmodochat#LTGChat
A1: Service learning is allowing students to expand their impact to expand to the community and world around them. It combines the learning goals with #community service #Edmodochat#servicelearning
#ServiceLearning to me is providing learning opportunities for next gen to understand value of serving others thru #realworld problem solving to help create a better world 4 all #edmodochat
A1: To me it means taking your classroom objectives with a community service project with the goal of engaging students in their communities and beyond. #edmodochat
#Edmodochat Show your students the significance of Dr. Kingβs life through his impact on civil rights and social justice. Get started with these classroom resources. https://t.co/01UfVP7RwU
{edmodo: RT msmeganpaul: A1: Building partnerships with the community; engaging students to apply their skills and support their community #Edmodochat]
Iβve had a βservice yearβ- continues with the scouts in a voluntary year helping a different community, before the army (Iβm from Israel). #edmodochat
Service-learning and philanthropy education can help with that. It gives students a deeper purpose for learning - we ALL have something to give! #edmodochat#LTGChat
#edmodochat A1 It means experiential learning based on authentic needs ,action and reflection that promote soft and hard skills beyond school walls and bells.
A2 years ago my Ss did letter writing to alumni serving in military. On 1/2 days before holidays we made cards. My list of serving alumni is outdated #EdmodoChat
A2- You can even have young students participate. When I taught second grade I had SS be pen pals with seniors at a local nursing home. AFter a few months we visited the place so my students could meet their pen pals. #edmodochat

You should give it try, The day we visited was one of the best of my teaching career just watching the SS and seniors interacting was heartwarming #edmodochat
There is much classrooms around the country can do to support the people and communities impacted by this natural disaster. https://t.co/huqjpsyn1E#edmodochat
A2) Iβm in the process of connecting two different classrooms from two different counties. The purpose is to address and offer potential solutions to their chosen community issues like poverty and healthcare. #EdmodoChat
A2 we do monthly service projects, everything from food drive, to valentines for veterans and π day clean up. I also advise the student lighthouse team and we do monthly service projects as well.#edmodochat@learningtogive
A3: my 5th graders developed all parts from websites, to speaking engagements, emails, names, hashtags, learning a song..when given the chance kids are rockstars #edmodochat
A3: For charity fair specifically, the students are really in total control. From the charities they decide to promote, to the products they create and sell. In others not as much, but then again CF has been a staple for us for several years. #edmodochat
A3: Students should play a big role in choosing their #servicelearning projects b/c if they cannot make the choices they will not be invested #EdmodoChat
We would like to show our #Edmodolove at our Dream Teacherβs Lounge after your day at #FETC on Wednesday, January 24th. Weβre looking forward to meeting you! Register soon here: https://t.co/QOuM8KXM2x#edmodochat

Yes! Help your students answer the question: "What are your interests and skills?" Then, help them realize that these can be used in meeting community needs as you take action for the common good. #edmodochathttps://t.co/saZWAAEQGn
A:2 Ss will be researching and conducting field research, then determine some entry points to address the problem and present possible solutions #Edmodochat

Q4: Ms. Miller says, "Our students are a part of school community, as well as a greater local county, both of which conduct themselves as collaborative communities in different ways & ALL of which my students should feel they can be contributing members." #edmodochat#LTGChat
A 2-4: Ideally I have my Ss identify a need in our community/world. They work to create solutions, often presenting options to a community panel of stakeholders. Oh so many benefits.... culture of kindness, #empathy and #compassion#edmodochat#LTGchat 1/2
A4: Ms. Marshall says, "learning about the importance of giving back on a small scale at an early age shows students how easy it is to give back and make an impact throughout their lives." #Edmodochat#LTGChat
A 2-4 Most recently Ss created designs for new school playground, not our school. Also did projects with water quality and feeding homeless, aid to shelters. #servicelearning#edmodochat#LTGChat 2/2
Q4: Social action teacher Mr. Dikeman says, "I feel that teaching through service learning allows hands-on learning experiences to help students make connections between their school and their community." #edmodochat#LTGChat
A4 Ss become more aware of real world issues, develop collab skills, be part of a team, problem solve, develop empathy and SEL skills in the process, also can learn about their own interests #edmodochat

A4: Ss see effects of their work in practice and give them the sense of giving, power builds their team, gives courage, shows that everyone is needed @eTwinningEurope#edmodochat
Through philanthropy education, students learn that not only are they capable of making a difference, but also have a responsibility to stay aware of current issues and participate in civic life to build the common good. #edmodochat

{edmodo: Just about halfway through with #edmodochat. Come join in on the fun! Chatting about Service Learning to Empower Students #servicelearning#PLN#PBL]
A3) As we transition to a modern classroom, we must empower the voice and skills of students. For too long, we have neglected this critical partnership. #edmodochat
#edmodochat A 5 Service learning is the soul that animates PBL when doing research, asking meaningful questions, taking action, reflecting on issues and processes, getting feedback, failing forward, weighing results,etc.
A5 #pbl can related directly to #ServiceLearning bc Ss can focus on a problem, or a need in the community, and through PBL find ways to address it, invest time in problem solving, collab, more authentic experiences #edmodochat
Check out what @PaulMunshower said in the @edmodo Science topic about service learning - Have students apply concepts to help others and serve others. Give meaning to the science. Like water purification, environmental issues, etc... https://t.co/H1hdBQppgo#Edmodochat
Most schools have a service requirement for graduation, but only a small percentage of schools teach tools and action of philanthropy instruction. https://t.co/Se9rG0KHqA#EdmodoChat#LTGChat
{edmodo: RT MarianaGSerrato: A5: Super cool article by Kathy Farber on the subject - The best service learning is like the best PBL https://t.co/kSiWGDuEmX#edmodochat]

A5: It is natural. Can't make somethig witout plan and include learning. But Ss should see fun and
involvement first, feel the power of joy and emotions. The knowing somethig is a second thing, the underground Ts operation on Ss's minds.
#edmodochat
This whiteboard video defines and shows the power of advocacy and action. By incorporating and infusing philanthropy education and service-learning into regular curriculum Ss learn there are many ways to make a difference. https://t.co/nWpP686Ls9#edmodochat
A6 Nonprofits are experts in the issue we're addressing. They love talking to our students about their needs and ways to take action. #LTGChat#edmodochat
Are you looking for a way to help your students think outside of the box? To consider community? To put others needs before their own?
https://t.co/Sy1scLTwT6#EdmodoChat#LTGChat
In this series about service-learning, we discuss the similarities and differences in planning service-learning projects in rural vs. urban settings. https://t.co/QbxvdoJeBq#Edmodochat
A6: A friend of mine works closely with this global service non-profit - From BFF to BBF: the brigade friendships that form after spending hours digging trenches, taking vitals, or bussing the rural countryside! https://t.co/SeN5ROV88d#edmodochat
A5) We must immerse our students in dynamic learning experience. By doing so, we are empowering our students to shape the world of tomorrow with essential skills acquired in the classrooms of today. #EdmodoChat
A7: I try to lead by example, my Ss knew I did volunteer work, thru pix, class discussions. We had a team for Relay for Life. We can alsways do more, but then there is the whole #WorkLifeBalance thing #edmodochat#LTGChat
Model in planning! https://t.co/t6CNzOZ1Af Add service to your teaching calendar by aligning philanthropy lessons and service-learning projects to monthly events. This helps you maximize teachable moments and connect students to community through service. #edmodochat

{edmodo: RT MarianaGSerrato: A8: I post my projects on edmodo, get inspiration from my #PLN and showcase/promote what we are doing on twitter. #edmodochat]
A7: I think you teach service through being a servant. Instead of being a dictator in the classroom, serve your students in their learning process. After it should be about their learning! #edmodochat
A8: share, share, share!! Create groups and spread the word! People (authentic audiences) need to hear about what students are doing to apply their learning! It makes it relevant and meaningful for Ss. #edmodochat
