Classroom Twitter

https://twitter.com/hcg0321

    Our classroom Twitter feed will be managed by me, with content fueled by students. Students will be able to share with me, parents, and other students what they’ve learned in a concise, yet informational way. Instead of the students telling you “I don’t know” what they learned today, or “I don’t remember”, or “nothing,” check out our Twitter page, where I will post achievements and milestones as they happen. You’ll see helpful hints from me, reminders of key concepts, and shared content from other Twitter users. According to Vanwynsberghe, social media is a critical part of our culture, and is necessary to be integrating into the classroom. Vanwynsberghe states, Content creation itself is too often neglected in media literacy conceptualizations.” Most importantly, tweets will contain student knowledge
