It’s hard to believe that we’ve been back to school for over two weeks! The year is off to a great start. I’ve seen all of the students through their ELA classes. Last week, we kicked off our 1:1 initiative and checked out laptops to our students. We have lots of exciting things on the horizon at CMS!<\/p>\n

One thing that I’m really pumped\u00c2\u00a0about this year is a Twitter Boot Camp I’m putting on\u00c2\u00a0for my\u00c2\u00a0teachers.\"TwitterBootCamp\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll be holding a 30 minute session once a month to introduce teachers to using Twitter for professional development. I’m hoping that by introducing them gradually through short sessions, they won’t feel so overwhelmed by the idea of learning to use Twitter.<\/p>\n

Our first session is tomorrow, and I’m planning to give an overview of how Twitter works, a tour of what you see on your Twitter page, help teachers set up their accounts, and give them a list of folks to follow to start building their PLN.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m also going to share\u00c2\u00a0these awesome Comic Tutorials by the amazing Gwyneth Jones<\/a>:<\/p>\n

This is also how we’re FINALLY getting Twitter unblocked for teachers in my school…YAY!<\/p>\n
