Twitter Door- The kids can tweet about what is happening. There are 30 laminated sentences strips so everyone (including the teacher) has a place to "tweet" on the door.

    I copied this off "Pinterest". What a great way to check for understanding and also engage the students in thinking!

      I could see this working in many grade levels and for a wide range of topics. My kids have no problem sharing what's on their mind! I like it.

      This twitter door idea could also be used with whiteboards..for class wide tweets

      Using your whiteboards for tweets is a cool idea. The kids could tweet quick responses to any type of learning.

      It may be quicker too..and kids may feel safer if everyone is responding at the same time...

    I like this idea of a community blog spot. I envision focusing on a core lit story, character traits, share math ideas, etc. Each week could have a different focus.

      Using the Twitter door for a literacy focus is a great idea!

      I could see it as an extension of the way we use Edmodo already, such as critical thinking questions, polls, and sharing opinions. Definitely has possibilities!

    The "Twitter" door might be a fun idea for our parents too.

    I think you could tie this to the flipped classroom...the kids could watch the lesson at night and tweet on the door as they come in to the classroom the next day.

      It posted in the wrong spot.....

      I was thinking that you may want to use the library door and not the main entry door as it already gets crazy as the kids come in each morning.

    I love this! We could also post a daily question and the kids could weigh in on it.

    I like the twitter door--I use exit tickets and will name them twitter tickets.
