Move to sharing!

Welcome to week 2 of Jeffco Ed Tech’s 3 week Twitter Challenge.  This week is all about going beyond the basics and moving to sharing ideas with your followers.

When you take flight in the Twitter world, it might take awhile to get your wings. At first, your flight pattern might be to glide through the Twittersphere lurking around.

But as you get comfortable, flap those wings! Take your Twitter experience to the next level and dive into this week’s Twitter challenge!

​CHALLENGE #5: WHO'S IN YOUR FLOCK? CHECK YOUR FOLLOWERS!

​You can see who is following you by clicking “Followers” in the upper-left hand corner of your screen.  See who has joined your flock, and feel free to follow them in return.

Challenge #6: Hop around the nest: tweet a picture, tweet an article or website, or tweet a gif!

As a fledgling, you’re beginning to hop around Twitter and explore. You have probably come across great resources for your school or classroom. To learn how to tweet a link to the article click here! 

Did you get a photo of you and your teammates dressed up for homecoming week?  Tweet your photo to show your school spirit!

​Perhaps you came across a humorous GIF that your fellow educators would enjoy. Share it! They might need a laugh today!

challenge #7: spread your wings! Tweet an original thought

It’s time to soar! Compose a tweet of your own original thought. Twitter is all about what’s happening in your world and what people are talking about right now.

​So hop out of the nest, and tell us what’s going on in your world!

overwhelmed? Use this "tweet sheet" to understand the in's and out's of twitter.

Still haven't "dove" into
​the world of Twitter?


We are going to give you the wings you need to take flight. To celebrate Connected Educator Month, Jeffco Ed Tech is hosting a
                               TWITTER CHALLENGE!
Take part in a 3-week challenge to start to build your PLN (Personalized Learning Network). Following and connecting with educators on Twitter can help you gain knowledge and ideas to help transform the student learning experience. Details for starting the challenge are below.


Tweet! TWEET! HERE ARE THE DEETS!


Week 1: Be a Lurker - Twitter Basics

Challenge #1: Build your Nest
Go to twitter.com and create a Twitter Account.  Choose a profile name. This is the name that you will be known as on Twitter. It is also called your @name (ex. @jeffcoedtech). Keep it short so it does not take too much of your character limit. Then create your bio. In 160 characters let the world know who you are and what is important to you.
.
Challenge #2: Find some Flight Patterns.
Search for @jeffcoedtech and click the blue "follow" button to follow us on Twitter. Find some other Ed Heads to learn from. Here are some suggestions that we follow:

@COJasonGlass                         @GoogleForEdu                                          @iste

what is a PLN?

Picture
According to TeachHub, a resource in my PLN "In the education world, PLN stands for Personal Learning Network. What it means is that an individual has developed their own personalized "network" of fellow educators and resources who are designed to make them a better teacher".

For me, it is a way to further my learning and understanding of educational concepts that I am passionate about and support my work. My PLN allows me to easily connect with like minded educators from all over the world at my leisure. Learning and professional development can happen anywhere, even if I am at home in my pajamas or working out at the gym.

The following video describe in just over a minute, what a PLN is and how it can be beneficial for teachers to build their own network.

Mr. Bahlmann’s 4th grade class at Deane Elementary sits on the edge of their seat while the familiar tune of Google Hangouts rings throughout their classroom.

“Oh no!” says Digital Teacher Librarian Keri Douglas, “It looks like they’re not available.”
Not to fear, a chat box quickly pops up saying, “We need five more minutes to get ready. We transitioned late”. Another teacher somewhere across the country prepares her students to begin. Suddenly, her smiling face appears for the class to see on the projected screen and she announces the beginning of the Google Mystery Hangout.
