This pretty much sums up my experience of trying to find an active education Twitter chat! Luckily there are some summer slow chats happening ‼️👀 #CelebratED #MathStratChat #EDCI338

@JerrodBondy Hi Jerrod! I really hope I continue to use Twitter more often as I agree it could be a super valuable part of a teacher toolbox. I like your idea of using the platform for distributed learning! Have you had to teach online before? What platforms do you find useful? #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@TeacherKat8 I love this idea! What a great way to incorporate Twitter and digital citizenship into a lesson while also considering student privacy. Would you consider sharing screenshots of their tweets on a class blog as a way to connect with a larger audience? #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@TransformT3ach Hi Anna! There is so much information on this platform and I definitely agree students should have the chance to explore. I think is also a great tool for getting students engaged! How do you think we can get our students on Twitter while also protecting their privacy? #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@noahforbes22 @MsMaeganBarwis Hi Noah and Maegan! Wow, what a great lesson! I really like the real-time text scenario as I think this would be an extremely impactful learning experience for students! It also shows how beneficial collaborating with other teachers can be 😊 #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@raquellevy01 Hi Raquel! It's great that you were able to find your old account. It had been so long since I had been on Twitter I had to make a new one! I like how you are not only planning on using the platform to connect with educators but also as a way to relate to future students #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@insightswithmrs I love this idea! What a great way to bring social media into the classroom in an authentic and impactful way. Would you consider setting up a class Twitter account to share out the students tweets with a larger audience after being approved? #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@kyliedscott Hi Kylie! I really like how you plan to use Twitter to connect with other educators! I think it is a great tool for teachers to grow our PLNs and find resources. Have you connected with any teachers or found any accounts that you would recommend following? #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@GeorgetteSums Hi Georgette! Thank you for sharing your goals. I agree that Twitter can be super impactful resource for teachers! Have you found any good classroom resources yet or any teachers/accounts you'd recommend following? #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@zoejacobson63 Hi Zoe! Wow, what a great lesson! I really like the silly words warm-up. I think it is so important that we highlight the importance of bringing empathy to our online interactions and that this can sometimes be difficult due to the barriers created by our screens! #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@MsMaeganBarwis Hi Maegan! I like how enthusiastic you are to connect and collaborate with other educators via Twitter! I agree that it is a great resource for teachers and appreciate you sharing #bcedchat. How has your experience connecting with others been so far? #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

@Ms_Rachel_Moore Hi Rachel! I really love the direction you took your lesson and how you added space for reflection throughout. I used the same MediaSmarts lesson when adapting my own lesson and I thought it was a great resource! Have you ever taught a cyberbullying lesson before? #EDCI338

[Courtnay Wheeler @MsWheeler12]

I'm looking forward to using Twitter to connect with other teachers and share my own experiences! I hope to expand my own learning through interacting with professionals, finding new resources, and staying up to date with what's happening in education 😀 #EDCI338
