Twitter is a great social media platform for teaching. It allows teachers to connect with other educators and their classrooms. It also promotes student voice and gives them a place to share their learning with the world.

You can create any type of hashtag you like. If you have a certain project happening with your school or a group of schools, you can tweet about it and use a common hashtag like #sciencerocks or #fractions4kids

Classrooms can tweet a challenge to another class to further learning. Why not send out a math problem to your class twitter friends with the hashtag #solvethis! Students can have fun tweeting and solving each others challenges.

Since Twitter has a tweet limit of 140 characters, students can all collaborate on a story together by adding sentences at a time. They can also participate in this type of activity with students from all over the world!

There are many ways we can share with social media, and Twitter is a wonderful tool to explore. Opening an account is easy and if you are a teacher of younger kids you can have a class Twitter account together. Parents will love seeing a window into what their child is learning.

Happy Tweeting!
