78. Most popular micro blogging tool
GLOBAL COMMUNITY – 140 characters to say what you
are doing. Sound crass? Not if actions or thought
interest you or others. Especially research & ed.
INSTANTANEOUS – immediate share, dialogue or
discovery.
SELECTIVE – using hash tags, you can filter you want
and don’t. Backchannels are now used at most major
events and conferences.
79. Do a short lesson (140 characters or so) on what Twitter is and
how to use it responsibly (and how not to use it)
Make sure all students have a Twitter account to participate with
(it can be their personal one or one created just for class)
Then decide as a class or by yourself a theme to start chats
around
Create a hashtag (#?) appropriate to your class that is unique and
won’t be visited by many outsiders
Find an engaging article to share with students – make sure it
isn’t too long at first
Create an open-ended question that will both provoke thought
and honesty
Then set the kids loose on the hashtag
Read what they write and participate in the conversation too -set
specific parameters that you can monitor for accountability
purposes
Teach them to proofread as they go
Marvel at the quiet sounds in your classroom despite how much
“talking” is really going on.

How are we going to establish and communicate?
There are naysayers, but the momentum is behind CCSS
Every feel like you know how all this is going to end up? Like going against Batman and Robin, they always win in the end. Is CC a bad thing? What some leading experts are saying.
National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, Council of Chief State School Officers
This visual was created in house under State Consulting Services (for a LPA published newsletter) – CC is the framework/blueprint, but you can fix the rooms how you like. See ASCD notes.
