Examples of Ways I Will Use Twitter This Year





           You can use Twitter for a variety of purposes in your own classroom.  The great thing is that you can be creative and use it within all aspects of your curriculum.  The possibilities are endless!

Here are some of my ideas for using Twitter this year in the classroom:

-Using Twitter as a platform for continuous reading and writing

-Tweeting daily about new discoveries in Kindergarten

-Allowing Twitter to be a place where students “journal” thoughts and opinions

-Using Twitter as a way for students to communicate with their parents about school

-During our “Around the World” study, following classrooms from different countries.

-Communicating with various authors

-Gathering support for community service projects through student voice

-Communicating with farms about the life cycle of chicks during our egg hatching project

-Allow students to reflect on daily work

-Live tweet from field trips

-Tweeting thoughts from our class pet hamster


-Writing in small group centers with a teacher


-Learning how to respond to others


-Having a "Tweeter" as a weekly job in the classroom
