The Power of a ‘Tweet’

I have a large interest in technology and where technology is going to take us in the classroom. With that being said, I recently created a classroom Twitter account and introduced it to my grade two’s. In just under a month, my class has connected with authors of books we have read from all over the world and have had the opportunity to ask these authors questions and receive responses. One author from Australia even sent our  class a letter with some new books! It really blows the kids’ mind that they can talk to someone from across the world and that in minutes they can get a response. When I first brought Twitter into the classroom, I told the students that I would be picking students who listen carefully and create quality work that they would get a chance to take a picture of their work, explain their work and share it with the Twitter world! Not only have I noticed I have been getting a lot of really great work out of all of the kids I have also found that this opportunity really gives students a chance to showcase their hard work and to be excited and proud about their learning. Parents love that at the click of a button they can go onto twitter and check out what has been happening in our class. 

I think as educators we need to explore and use all of these amazing technological tools that are right in front of us. The possibilities are endless! Feel free to check out @MsPahlsClass on twitter, we’d love to hear from you.

It is exciting to read about and know, that this is happening in our school and the impact that it has made on the students. The classroom and lessons take on a whole new meaning today, when we access ways such as twitter to connect.

Teaching in the same room as Breane I can say her students are so excited to have their own twitter account. As one student said "can we put this up on twitter?" Congratulations for setting the ground work for these students to understand and use technology in a productive and meaningful way!
