Learning is Change

What I'm Reading: Free Twitter course for Parents and Educators

I like the focus of this course (parents and educators, specifically). I also like just how much purpose there is for each “assignment”. You are actually Tweeting in order to learn how to tweet. Anyway, I thought I would pass it along.

Learn Twitter – Joe Mazza

Free Twitter 101 eCourse for Parents & Educators No matter where I am, every time I speak I hear people say, “I wish someone would teach me how to tweet.” Well, I’m hoping this resource will provide some of those folks a place to learn how to leverage this social media tool at their own pace. I must admit, however, I am a complete rookie at delivering online instruction, and am using this course to improve the quality of my instruction.  The information below contains everything you need to complete all five modules of this Twitter course designed specifically for teacher and parents new to Twitter. Finally, inside this course are many examples of the forward-thinking, selfless and collaborative people (I call them rock stars) that make up my personal learning network (PLN). You will enjoy this new and invigorating connected community. Have fun!

2. Submit a reflection and earn a badge: http://badges.p2pu.org/en/badge/view/398/ 

3. Create your own Roundtable for you school/district: http://bit.ly/createroundtable

*Roundtable Purpose:*
To ensure that *EVERYONE* is empowered by personalized learning environments, and not only those who have access to the latest and greatest tools. 

We cannot ensure that we are meeting the needs of all of our students and teachers if we do not have access and equity for technology, professional development, and the structures that empower ownership of learning.

*Roundtable Audience:*
1. Teachers and leaders who are interested in ensuring that all students and teachers have access to the right educational tools to support personalized learning environments. 

2. Teachers and leaders interested in implementing BYOD or 1:1 programs (or some combination of both) in order to increase student engagement and achievement.
