Here is my #TwitteratiChallenge video.
I nominate the following people:
1. & 2. @wendy21brown and @bones_carmel
Wendy Brown and Carmel Bones are both former ASTs and are absolute stars for tweeting practical, realistic, useable ideas for teachers. You can look at their photo-tweets and immediately see how you can make use of their ideas in another classroom. They are well worth a follow if you're looking for a bit of daily inspiration.3. @Janeh271
Jane Hewitt is an educator, freelance photographer and author of 'Learning Through a Lens'. She tweets some wonderful, thought-provoking images that can be used in the classroom. Most amazingly, she has just come back from Kakuma refugee camp where she and @debrakidd were working with school staff and pupils for @ITLWorldwide 's Big i Foundation.4. @ASTsupportAAli
When you're looking for teaching ideas, resources, challenges or just a bit of a pep talk, WHO YOU GONNA CALL?... Well obviously, Amjad Ali . Amjad is a serial sharer. The complete opposite of the crusty old HoD who keeps his precious set of prittsticks locked away in his filing cabinet and chides you for making too many photocopies. Amjad is the kind of colleague everyone needs. His blogs also have a truly earnest tone to them, which I really appreciate.5. @PhilBeadle
Ok, so I know my Number 5 has already been nominated by Paul Dix, but I can't help noticing that Phil still hasn't taken up the challenge... So, as one of the geniuses I often take advice from, I'm challenging him again because, well let's be honest, who doesn't like to watch a bit of Phil Beadle on film?!...So, to my lovely nominees, here are the rules of the challenge (as set out by @TeacherToolkit ):
Rules:
There are only 3 rules.- You cannot knowingly include someone you work with in real life.
- You cannot list somebody that has already been named if you are already made aware of them being listed on #TwitteratiChallenge
- You will need to copy and paste the title of this blogpost and (the Rules and What To Do) information into your own blog post.
What To Do?
There are 5 to-dos you must use if you would like to nominate your own list of colleagues.- Within 7 days of being nominated by somebody else, you need to identify colleagues that you rely regulalry go-to for support and challnege. They have now been challenged and must act as participants of the #TwitteratiChallenge.
- If you’ve been nominated, you must write your own #TwitteratiChallenge blogpost within 7 days. If you do not have your own blog, try @StaffRm.
- The educator nominated, that means you reading this must either: a) record a video of themselves (using Periscope?) in continuous footage and announce their acceptance of the challenge, followed by a pouring of your (chosen) drink over a glass of ice.
- Then, the drink is to be lifted with a ‘cheers’ before the participant nominates their five other educators to participate in the challenge.
- The educator that is now (newly) nominated, has 7 days to compose their own #TwitteratiChallenge blogpost and identify who their top-5 go-to educators are.
