Our previous blog posts have been focused on student learning, but today we would like to share about a learning opportunity that many of our teachers participate in for their professional learning, Twitter Chats. There are numerous educational hashtags our teachers follow and multiple twitter chats a night that many participate in. Every other Thursday, our district hosts a Twitter Chat using the hashtag #gcisdchat These conversations are moderated by various professionals within the district. This week's chat is on Global Citizens and what we are doing within the classrooms of GCISD to support our students becoming global citizens. These conversations are open to anyone to join!
Is a Twitter Chat new to you? If so, simply search for the hashtag and follow the tweets. Questions are posed as Q1, Q2, etc and answers are given in the form of A1, A2, etc. Always include #gcisdchat on any tweet to be included in the conversation.
Tweetdeck is a wonderful tool to make your twitter more friendly for following certain conversations or hashtags. If you would like more information on Tweetdeck and how to customize it to follow conversations around our campus, check out this blog post by Suzanne Barker for more information. Tweetdeck at CMS
