I created a Twitter challenge for teachers to take place the 12 days before holiday break. The purpose of this challenge to help teachers grow their PLC and gain a comfort with using social media tools to celebrate their classroom successes. There are two challenge posted here. The first is the MGM 12 days of Twitter Challenge and a Twitter Bingo Board that will be introduced in January.
I used Smore to create the invitation so I could embed to the Google form to collect Twitter handles of all participates. I learned of a new tool called Canva and used that to create the daily challenge posters to post and email out each day. I used Google Drawings to create the bingo board so I could share it with others in my PLC. Thanks to Becky Steurrys, Digital Learning Coach in my PLC, for sharing her Canvas and Google Drawing templates for this project. I only steal from the best , Becky! For the prizes, I have been asking admin and district office professionals to check closets for conference freebie's, calling business partners, asking PTO to donate a school shirt or Tervis, and crossing my fingers the Chick-fil-a will provide two Cow calendars for the grand prize. So far I have a pair of Google Cardboard, wireless mouse, and two mac keyboard covers that tell you all the shortcut key strokes. Hearing "No" does not hurt me. You don't know someone's spirit for giving if you don't share your need with them. Don't be afraid of a "no" and keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling. :-) MGM Twitter Bingo
I created a Twitter Bingo board for teachers wanting to expand their PLC and participate on their own schedule. I worked to incorporate classroom celebrations, following education professionals and organizations, and participation in Twitter chat opportunities. I am most excited about the school edchat I will host with my administrator. This Twitter chat will be in place of having our weekly PD meeting.
