    A1: Ss don't have their own acct so yes it is appropriate. Ss need to see SM used the right way #nt2t
  • CHitch94 Sep 23 @ 9:09 AM EDT
    A1) Have seen Ts of younger Ss using in cool ways - class accts where Ss take turns tweeting about what they learned, author convos. #nt2t
  • TrishKing6 Sep 23 @ 9:09 AM EDT
    A1. Individual S accts? No. I'm just starting w/ a separate class acct in 6th, recently convinced that's the way to model #digcit best #nt2t

    At least say hi - you can lurk it the rest of the chat. #nt2t
  • JKatzaman Sep 23 @ 9:09 AM EDT
    A1 Twitter use in the classroom is a case-by-case call. It depends on the maturity and personalities of the class and teacher. #nt2t

    Hey Chris! I don't know how anyone does CC - I have always hated running just to run. #NT2t

    #NT2t A1: As long as you use a class account where the T checks all Tweets before they go out and you are connected only with other classes.
  • JeremyDBond Sep 23 @ 9:10 AM EDT
    A1) Totally! I think of it like a movie rating--needs adult discretion or supervision. We must teach before they dive in on their own. #nt2t

    A2 When introducing Twitter to students, find out how many already use it and what their experiences have been as help for others. #nt2t
  • mtartaro Sep 23 @ 9:18 AM EDT
    A2b - Would definitely required significant Dig. Cit. training first! #nt2t

  • jill_slapnik Sep 23 @ 9:21 AM EDT
    #nt2t Ts can have a class account and tweet classroom happenings to parents or the class account can follow authors/experts or scientists

    In reply to @shyj

    Q3: What specific skills or tools do your students need before you even set up a classroom account or let students tweet? #nt2t
  • jschwartzcen Sep 23 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    #NT2t A2; I have a weekly Twitter reporter who tweets out what is happening in our class and school.
  • mtartaro Sep 23 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    When teaching Dig. Cit. I refer to it as a "digital tattoo" rather than a "footprint" as it is PERMANENT and can't be truly deleted! #nt2t
  • CHitch94 Sep 23 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A2) Maybe using something like Today's Meet would be a good "training space" before jumping into Twitter? #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Sep 23 @ 9:24 AM EDT
    Just putting it out there...is it "fair" that a Ts account is scrutinized by Ps and Ss? What if Ts just want their "own" account? #NT2t
  • stephwurking - Moderator Sep 23 @ 9:24 AM EDT
    Hello Jill, are you tweeting from personal experience? Would love to hear your stories. #nt2t
    In reply to @jill_slapnik

    Also, I talk to my kids about SM "horror stories" (people losing jobs, college admission) but also about benefits. Responsible use. #nt2t

    A3 An overlooked skill for social media is respect. Don't go there if students seem likely to abuse the privilege. #nt2t

    Not sure about this. I have one class with known SM problems. I love the lessons here, but not sure they would use appropriately. #nt2t
