I have been attempting to Tweet everyday. I tend to forget on Saturday. Saturdays are my catch up days where I do not do anything to do with schoolwork if I can help it. So far I am enjoying tweeting each day. It is also encouraging me to find something positive to focus on each day instead of the things that can get you down this time of year. My students have begun to ask me at the end of the day what am I going to tweet that day. They have enjoyed being part of my homework.
Now that I have been tweeting a week, I plan to continue. I hope more of my parents will start following our classroom tweets. As a parent I follow my daughter's cheer squad on twitter and find it a great place to keep up with events and last minute changes to the schedule. I am hoping my parents will feel the same about my classroom tweets. I also want parents to use it as a conversation starter to ask their child about their school day. I have been trying to mention something specific that our class is doing that day, so that parents can ask specific questions to engage their child in discussing his or her day. After I am more comfortable with daily tweeting I can start having the students tweet too.
