@PS10BROOKLYN
Twitter is but the entry point
We Tweet, Vine, Instagram, Facebook…
Social media for the transparent & engaged learning environment
-MR_CASAL #NYSCATE13
“Teachers are the social media ambassadors of your school community”
WHY TWITTER?
Twitter was new to all
sometimes it’s easier to teach a new thing than a familiar thing a new way
Easy to keep “personal” and “professional” separate
no one had a “personal” account
It’s a quick, easy to use broadcast platform not requiring viewers to have an account
