1. TWEETING FOR A CONNECTED & TRANSPARENT SCHOOL COMMUNITY
@PS10BROOKLYN

2. @PS10BROOKLYN
• Twitter is but the entry point
• We Tweet, Vine, Instagram, Facebook…
• Social media for the transparent & engaged learning
environment

3. “Teachers are the social media ambassadors of
your school community”
-MR_CASAL #NYSCATE13

4. WHY TWITTER?
• Twitter was new to all
• sometimes it’s easier to teach a new thing than a
familiar thing a new way
• Easy to keep “personal” and “professional” separate
• no one had a “personal” account
• It’s a quick, easy to use broadcast platform not
requiring viewers to have an account

5. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PARENTS NOT ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
