School 2.0 in South Africa

<—Back to main twitter un-workshop page

Welcome to day 1 of our twitter un-workshop!! My hope for us is to, by the end of November, have at least 500 enthusiastic teachers twittering about how to use this powerful tool for professional development and in their classrooms.

Today, and for the next few days,  we are just going to get started by registering for a twitter account and getting as many newbie teachers on board. If you are an experienced teacher twit already, please get as many teachers around you to join in and  help them to feel at home.  Feel free to download the “Getting started” tutorial and pass it on to everybody. Our hashtag for the workshop is #ict4champions. You will learn more about hashtags as we go along.  You can follow the workshop twitter stream by searching for #ict4champions in the search window at the top of your twitter browser page (www.twitter.com) or click here to go straight to it.

Activity: In your first tweet (the 140 character status update) please put your school, your subject, your town, your country and the hashtag #ict4champions If you are not a teacher, you are most welcome to lurk with us and support our teachers on this learning pathway!!

Well done! If you have:

• Downloaded and worked through the tutorial
• Registered for a twitter account
• Send a tweet with your school, town, country, subject, and the hashtag #ict4champions
• Got other teachers to join and do the same…..

then….. you have completed day 1 successfully. Does anyone want to add anything? Tweet it!!!!!!! #ictchampions
