This document discusses how teachers can use Twitter and other social media platforms to engage students, parents, and administrators in classroom learning. It provides examples of teachers tweeting photographs of student work, recording podcasts of classroom discussions, and using Storify to compile social media posts with context and explanations of the learning. The goal is to showcase learning in various subject areas and encourage participation from those inside and outside the classroom. Advice is given on getting started with classroom social media by bringing a device, photographing student work, and having students help write tweets and captions.
