I teach STEM language arts. I read historical fiction. And I really like dogs.

A7: Twitter is less confusing than I thought. I feel less ancient right now. I am intrigued by the idea of globalizing education but I still don’t know that Twitter would be the appropriate platform. I’ll keep brainstorming. #ChatWithHJ

@seales1 @jaiminju This makes me sad that education is so isolated. Let’s change that. #ChatWithHJ

A6: advantages would be giving quieter kids an equal voice. Letting student convos happen across schools or even countries. My idealism is showing but think about what could happen if they all showed up and they really started thinking. #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

@seales1 Lol I’m the long tweeter. #ChatWirhHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

A6.2: disadvantages include major privacy concerns and again how the heck would we ensure everyone is participating? What about cyber bullying- I don’t want to expose the kids to bad? #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

@jaiminju Um yeah Sarah and I would have over 60 replies in our one class. If they were all engaged. #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

A5: yes? No? Concerns w/ lack of moderation on a public forum. Also with parents who don’t want kids exposed on social media at all. Is there such thing as private on this? It could lead to authentic conversations but I worry about the other aspects getting in the way #ChatWithHJ

@jaiminju It’s a covid problem apparently. Like everything else in the world. #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

A4: box of Rice Krispies, peanut butter cookies, a baggie of ketchup packets. Did you know there’s a shortage? #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

@seales1 I’m at the kitchen counter plugged in to the wall. I did not plan ahead. 🤣 #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

@jaiminju The internet says it’s there. But also I checked during 4th block on a Friday so... I could be just actively missing things. #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

A3: no luck. I tried but my app doesn’t have the icon for scheduling where it was supposed to be, so I gave up and went home from work. It did remind me of the time the remind app messed up my pre-schedule setting and texted parents at 5:30 am on a Saturday. #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

@jaiminju Oh smart. #chatwithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

Maybe I’ll love it? Who knows?

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

A2: I made my account yesterday. This is the first time I’ve ever tweeted. So far I check it every day! #ChatWithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

@jaiminju Does it even matter at this point? As long as it’s not my house...

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

Q1: honestly it involves cheese dip and a beachfront patio. Pandemic’s got me with small goals. #chatwithHJ

[Abra Summers @abra_summers]

@jaiminju So it sounds like we all need to arrange a beach trip.
