The Tweet Seen Around the World
Dear PLN:
Please help me show the power of Twitter during the 2013 International Education Week on our campus. I’m presenting, “The Tweet Heard Around the World” and will be sharing the benefits of embedding social media into higher education with particular emphasis on teacher education. It is my hope that my presentation will support the need for iCitizenship in teacher education to further support global collaboration with classrooms, students and teachers across the country and around the world via Twitter.
Please leave a comment below sharing where you are from and any comments. Also, I’d be most appreciative if you would RT this blog post to see if we can get it seen/heard around the world!
Thank you for sharing your time, talent and passion with the world!
*Here’s the link to the presentation I did for the 13th Annual International Week. This entire project has been so inspiring! My 7 year old was actively involved keeping a tally on all the locations that have responded. He looked up every place on a world map and as a result started his first blog. He wants to keep the geography lesson going, so please take a moment to visit his blog, Around the World With Curran and leave a comment where you are from and a fun fact about your location. Make sure you see my son as a guest blogger for Angela Maier too!

5th Grade class from Middlefield, CT. We use Twitter to connect to other schools and share with EVERYONE (including our parents) what we are doing in school!
My grade 9 geography class in Kingston, Ontario, Canada followed Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield while he was living on board the International Space Station as the Commander. Everyday he posted the most beautiful photos of his day at work and the surface of our Earth. This was our first try at Twitter as a class and we now are hooked on Twitter in class. He even posted a picture of our Great Lake – Lake Ontario in winter. Check it out and tell me if you find a picture from where you live:

Greetings from the city of champions, Tuscaloosa, Alabama! Roll Tide! I first started using twitter in fall 2009 whence #edchat began. Twitter became my mentoring program. It evolved to being used in collaboration with my French students and another French class in the state. Our students tweeted in French! Now, as a tech coach, twitter is my lifeline for others’ experiences and opinions To me, twitter connects me to other educators and not just a search engine. I get to have powerful conversations with people around the world 24/7!

Love what you’re doing for iCitizenship and helping educate and prepare us all to better understand what it means to be Digitsl Citizens.
In just the past two months, I’ve been stunned at how What If…? has been able to grow its mission and vision through Twitter. In particular, Beth Sanders’ class using #WhatIf & #SandersTHS has allowed us to connect, share, and learn in ways I never imagined possible.
Looking forward to what comes next!

A blessed day in Gilroy Ca. Twitter is keeping me updated on ed tech, digital citizenship and connected to educators all over the world. Just did completed a webinar with Common Sense and Edmodo that rolled thru my feed. Good luck on your project.
Sandy, edtech specialist from the Austin, Texas area. Twitter keeps me ahead of the curve on trends in education and educational technology. And it gives me access to all of the super-smart educators out there when I have questions or ideas I need to ponder and understand from multiple perspectives.
I have had the opportunity to talk with pre-service teachers a couple of times over the past year, and they are a bit skeptical of Twitter. They need their professors modeling the continuous learning that takes place in this space! I hope anyone who has doubts will jump in and see for themselves.
Utilizing Twitter to develop a PLN (Professional Learning Network) has been the single best form of PD (Professional Development) in our teaching careers. It’s also a great tool for students and communication with parents and community.
Honolulu, Hawaii – Aloha!
So grateful for the connections, learning, and positive mindset of my PLN. Thank you all from Highland, Michigan (near Detroit).
I have learned more through Twitter posts than through many other PD opportunities. The real education experts are there! Use it to learn, grow, and inspire!

It is imperative that pre-service teachers get comfortable and understand how imperative it is to use twitter and other social media to get their students learning and collaborating with other classrooms globally. It is not an option any more. Oh, and I love twitter as an educator for resources, support, and collaboration. After all, I met @mbfxc and she and I have connected our classrooms. We walk the talk.

Hello from Lisa Madden, curriculum coordinator in Flint, MI! Twitter has expanded my PLN across the world. I’ve met other educators and participate in weekly chats that have advanced my understanding of issues, and has provided me with new resources and strategies. Additionally, Twitter lets me share my voice and expertise-I recently coordinated a series of webinars on effective grading practices that will include presenters I met via Twitter. Perhaps most importantly, I’ve developed relationships with new friends who share a passion for teaching and learning-which is tremendously energizing!

I run a HE module where the student assessment involves blogging – they seem to be loving it so far – a great way to allow them both to learn from each other and to promote themselves career-wise. I am rolling out personal knowledge management more formally to our Yr 1 psychology undergrads for first time this year. To help motivate them I am very interested in hearing stories from students/graduates who are successfully using social media to make connections and promote their career. Also very interested in anyone else teaching pkm to undergrads. Thanks
