Twitter Challenge

Image
Hi all! October was Connected Educator Month . As a way to celebrate and wrap up the month, at our school we created a week long activity, a.k.a. Twitter Challenge. For some time now we’ve been nudging our teachers to use Twitter to form or increase their PLN (see Twitter for your PLN ). This was just the perfect opportunity to encourage the use of Twitter! The “8 Day Twitter Challenge” , as we called it, consisted of a series of 16 different tasks to perform during the week. The tasks were designed to eventually expose all teachers to the main features of Twitter. For instance, they had to do a retweet, a modified tweet, use hashtags, search for connections, tweet a picture, follow people, etc. Here’s the complete list of tasks. Friday 10/24/2014 1 Send a Tweet with your name, grade level/subject area & school. Include #asfmtech and #ce14 Friday 10/24/2014 2 Add your name and Twitter handle to "ASFM Twitter Handles" sheet at the bottom of this page. Sa
