Hello, I was recently asked to present at our next staff Profession Develop Day on September 27th. As part of this they have asked me to present about Twitter and building collaboration and a PLN. What I was thinking was having a few people that I have connected with this year on Twitter create and share some type of message with my staff for our inservice day. I was looking to have other educators share a welcome message, a story about their journey using Twitter, or other message to my staff to help me get them on board with online collaboration. You could cite an example where you connected to another classroom through Twitter, skype, or other method. I recently worked with my students to complete the 911 student blog project. I have seen other teachers in the elementary jump on board with creating connected classrooms through the relationships they built using Twitter. I am open to ideas and suggestions. I am hoping some of you would be willing to help me out. Please send me a message if you have ideas, questions, or can help in some way. As part of my presentation I was going to have the staff participate in a Twitter chat at the end of the session. I was thinking that I could share your message or stories with them during that time. I am pretty limited in my creativity, but I thought of a few examples and hope you might be willing to help me out in some way. examples - Tweet welcoming Little Chute staff to Twitter - Vine or other video message about collaboration jumping into our staff Twitter chat on the day for a few minutes -- any idea you have to encourage online collaboration (This summer I attempted my first district chat with minimal results, however the #lcpln is still alive and kicking so any posts could be directed to this #) I am trying to show my staff the power of Twitter as a tool to connect and learn. I am hoping to have a few educational leaders help me ease the reluctant staff into the world of online collaboration and see the value of it for themselves and their students. I understand how busy our schedules can be and how precious time is for all of us, so I truly appreciate your consideration, and would love to hear your thoughts on this endeavor. Please take a minute to complete a short survey to help me out. I appreciate all of your help! Thank you, Ben Brazeau High School Social Studies Little Chute, WI Twitter @Braz74 Comments are closed.
