Last week I started taking an awesome online course that is on "Digital Footprints." I'm really excited about it because it is a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). This course is FREE and you get into it what you put into it. And you don't have to go anywhere in order to meet up. The course is using lots of aspects of social media to meet up, including Twitter, which is this week's focus.
Here is my new Taxgedo on digital footprints. I love Taxgedo and am thinking of having students create this digital footprint graphic that represents their digital footprint.
#DIGIFOOT12 WEEK TWO: TWITTER
Kim Gill gave her Blackboard presentation. I was really interested in discovering that she's a special education teacher for 4th, 5th and 6th and she does use Twitter with them! She has a Twitter account for her class and has them tweet from her iPads. Her families then follow this Twitter account. This is a good use of Twitter for students under thirteen.
For educational technology professional development, she does follow the #edchat hash tag and also the hash tag for events and conferences like #digifoot12.
The after presentation Twitter chat included a mention of GroupTweet to make group tweeting easier.
