ONGOING

13. Why communicate this way?
In the age of the Common Core and PARCC, we should try to…
Leverage multimedia resources to make our points
Collaborate across state lines to share resources and ideas
Review best practices in an open and honest way
Catch up with our fellow educators in between in-person meetings and events

14. Setting up your Twitter account
It’s easy to do!
Go to
Enter your full name, address and password on the left hand side of the screen
Click “Sign up”
Create your handle (screen name)
Search for other users and topics using the “search” function at the top of the screen
Remember # is for topics (#askPARCC) is for a person’s handle

15. Prolific Tweeters are among us!

16. A few simple rules…
Less is always more
Be clear and consistent with your messaging
Think deeply about your online persona
Know the limits of the tools you’re using
Be strategic about where you publish and disseminate information
Be thoughtful about who you engage
Don’t be afraid to use social media to reach out to those you don’t yet know—but want to!

17. Our Twitter Town Hall starts at 4:15pm ET, but feel free to tweet about your experience until then!
