Since the beginning of the year we have been using Twitter in our class to publish our work and share ideas with friends and family members around the world. Johnny could barely finish his question before hands were shooting up and students were enthusiastically sharing their answers to his question. What a great opportunity to reflect on why we use Twitter by explaining it to a new friend.
Here are our thoughts on Twitter use in Kindergarten 1:
- Twitter is something when people send you stuff to show you things. (Lea)
- We do Tweets... (Wilma)
- ...so we can send it to someone's grade. (Aziz)
- We look on Twitter just in case some people are sending us some message or pictures. (Lucy)
- You can Tweet to your friends blogs too. (Wilma)
- We have friends in Japan and Canada... (Denzil)
- ...and America... (Lea)
- ...and Indonesia. (Ayesha)
- If you take a picture and want people to see, then press the blue button, it Tweets and the message flies away! (Denzil)
