This week has fallen a little short in terms of meeting nerdlution expectations.
Excuse number one and only: Parent conferences.
I just don’t have the same time with my students and we have been letting the classroom tweeting slip. Conferences start at 7:30 am and resume at 1:00 pm once the students leave. They continue till about 6:00 pm. At that point I clean up and organize for the next day of conferences and teaching.
Home by 7:30 to read a few posts, emails and tweets. I see the #nerdlution stream on tweetdeck.
Oops. Tomorrow I think, we will tweet.
There has been lots of things to tweet about, but when my student came up to me today ask me about tweeting she wasn’t sure what to say. I told her think about it and come back, we’ll tweet later. She forgot. I forgot. But the thing that sticks with me is she didn’t have anything to say. Hmm.
Note to self. If she wasn’t sure what to say, what did she realize, learn, or do in my class for the last two hours? Hmmm.
We wrote, read, discussed poetry. BUT she didn’t have anything to say. That said volumes. Hmmmm.
Got to get on this tweeting thing a little more.
Here’s me with an aha a little late in the game: tweeting classrooms are a little more accountable for their learning. AND tweeting classroom teachers are a little more accountable for their teaching.
Thank you #nerdlution 2 for pushing me. Thank your Michelle Haseltine for hosting our thoughts. Check here for more information about nerdlution.
