Laptops, computers and other technical equipment are common assets in modern classrooms. It makes you wonder: how do all these devices help our students succeed? What selection criteria, preparatory steps, professional training and other factors should be taken into consideration for a successful implementation, and what tips, tools and resources can be helpful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all this in mind, we welcome you to a 75-minute TweetMeet on Tuesday, January 21 at 10am PST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every month, we welcome more and more educators to our events, obviously resulting in large volumes of tweets. Many of you tweet in your preferred language and are already using #TweetMeetXX. It\u2019s now time to also invite all English-speaking TweetMeet participants to start adding hashtag #TweetMeetEN to your tweets. This will help to filter the large volume and will make it easier to find tweets back in your preferred languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For last month\u2019s special-edition TweetMeet we invited all #MSFTEduChat hosts from past years to come back another time, to commemorate and celebrate all the wonderful experiences of the past year with you. The TweetMeet was a tremendous success, with many hundreds of participants and thousands of tweets, as you can see in the Thank You animated GIF below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We captured highlights for this TweetMeet event in a new @MicrosoftEDU Twitter Moment<\/a>. There\u2019s even a comprehensive archive collection of all tweets from this event in this Wakelet Collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the new TweetMeet Sticky Note<\/em>, you can announce the next TweetMeet right from your own, existing Twitter Header Photo. Look at the various examples we created in the image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To generate such a custom Twitter Header Photo for yourself, open our new TweetMeet Sticky Note <\/em>\ud83d\udccc PowerPoint<\/a> and follow the instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to share your enthusiasm about Devices for student success<\/em> and the TweetMeets in general is to create a TweetMeet Friend Card<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Share your own version of this image anytime anywhere, for example to announce the TweetMeet to your followers, and of course when introducing yourself at the start of a TweetMeet. Just follow the steps in the TweetMeet Friend Cards<\/em> PowerPoint<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wakelet is a useful web service to bookmark, curate and annotate resources, images, tweets and other content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve invited our hosts to share their personal favorite resources and introduce their resource collections with a Flipgrid video. Find all of these resources in our new Devices for student success<\/em> SuperWakelet<\/a>, live-embedded here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many TweetMeet hosts have exciting stories to tell about this month\u2019s topic. Be inspired with the new Flipgrid topic for January 21: flipgrid.com\/9d43961f<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please meet the 11 hosts for this month\u2019s TweetMeet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After going through weeks of preparation for this TweetMeet, they are thrilled to engage with you on their favorite topic: Devices for student success<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out all the hosts, see what they are tweeting about and consider following them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n twitter.com\/TweetMeet\/lists\/msfteduchat-2020-01\/members<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n List of host names and their profiles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From our monthly surveys we know that you may be in class at event time, busy doing other things or may even be asleep \u2013 well, no problem! All educators are most welcome to join any time after<\/em> the event. Simply look at the questions below and respond to these at a day and time that suit you best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also schedule your tweets in advance. In that case, be sure to include the entire question in your tweet and always mention the hashtag #MSFTEduChat so that everyone knows to which question in which conversation you are responding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have six discussion questions lined up this month, allowing 12 minutes of discussion time each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you know someone who\u2019s new to the TweetMeets? You can join a #MSFTEduChat TweetMeet<\/a> video is especially created for newcomers, so please share it with friends and colleagues who might be interested in joining:<\/p>\n\n\n\nBrand-new hashtag #TweetMeetEN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
