Twitter Club

Every second Thursday afternoon Room 2's Twitter Club join in on #kidsedchatnz on Twitter. The Twitter Club is a group of children that are interested in learning how to tweet on Twitter. Anyone can participate in this group on a Thursday afternoon. #Kidsedchatnz is when other NZ classrooms all tweet on Twitter from 2.00 pm - 2.30 pm with each other. Each time there are different focus questions that we tweet about. Last week the questions were about why reading is an important skill to learn and how we can become better readers. #Kidsedchatnz is organised by a NZ teacher for NZ children. 

Room 2 children did an excellent job of tweeting with other schools last week. Children who are confident with using Twitter are learning to tweet independently using the iPads. The rest of the group tweets with Miss Gentil on the mat. We use the interactive whiteboard so that everyone can see the Twitter feed and take turns at tweeting. #Kidsedchatnz is a great way to teach positive Digital Citizenship.
