And, would you be ok with one of my 7th-grade classes from Indiana joining in with you?<br /><br />I love the idea of teaching the digital citizenship through actual experiences like thisMr Stonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578928012704963955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832888192686100995.post-1954788815449997232015-03-16T22:57:33.545-07:002015-03-16T22:57:33.545-07:00Hi Sean,

As for online safety, the students are logged in (by me ahead of time) to my Tweetdeck, with columns for home, notifications and the #stu2stuchat hashtag. They only tweet in small groups and I monitor their collaboration. I schedule the welcome, questions and closing through Tweetdeck, and I project the Tweetdeck columns on my screen. In addition, I walk around with my iPad, so I can check on what's going on and monitor for appropriate comments. We spent a good deal of time at the beginning of the year tweeting as a class before i handed the reins over to the students. Please feel free to ask additional questions as they arise. Thanks again.sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847472032157078587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832888192686100995.post-81185267651792883802015-03-16T10:12:54.132-07:002015-03-16T10:12:54.132-07:00Hi Sandy, Really happy I checked out your post as ...Hi Sandy, Really happy I checked out your post as part of the the #comcon group. The student to student chat is a wonderful concept that I am super excited that you have initiated with your students and those with whom you have connected. I will have to check out the hashtag and see if I can somehow work this idea in with some of my high school classes. What safeguards have you put in as far as your students online safety? - SeanSean Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02793158257986607322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832888192686100995.post-5036680948096510582015-02-27T17:17:41.636-08:002015-02-27T17:17:41.636-08:00It is so fabulous and such a tangible teaching and...It is so fabulous and such a tangible teaching and learning moment for all participating. There are so many layers to this chat. 1) The teachers who understand the importance of modeling digital positive behaviors for the students and to do so, likewise understand that to do this, we must let go so that the students can thrive and with in the protective walls of the Twitter chat explore digital citizenship. 2) Students who live in a generation of communicating with technology who are excited to meet people just like them, and by doing so, continue to tear down the walls not only of their hearts, but the walls of the school that once, trapped them..and the walls of the state boarder lines that beg them to crossover, meet new friends while learning. 3) Learning to leverage technology to leverage their learning. Technology has so many faces and social media is one, but it is an important one. Meshing the way students communicate with an opportunity to learn is the gift we are giving to them and that they are giving to themselves. Kuddos Sandy! Learning with you in my life is truly wonderful. khurdhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601371701118126527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832888192686100995.post-38267092070081621922015-02-27T17:13:25.676-08:002015-02-27T17:13:25.676-08:00I have loved this concept and watched from afar, a...I have loved this concept and watched from afar, as my own classroom merges into Twittersphere. As we break down various obstacles to joining the global learning community, we are becoming more involved. This month, our @daringgreatly classroom will be participating in the Slice-of-Life writing challenge. We hope to dip our toes into the #stu2stuchat soon as well. What a great window you are providing for students around the globe!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828054852222637629noreply@blogger.com
