Twitter Announcement
TWITTER IS HERE: The Woodstown-Pilesgrove Regional School District is now on Twitter! For those who are unfamiliar with Twitter, it is an online social network that provides users with a venue to post information that is shared with those who “follow” (subscribe to) the original poster's comments. The use of Twitter has exploded over the past several years for professional uses, as well as for communication. There are users in all fields and industries sharing valuable information that can be accessed by others globally.
In an educational setting such as our own, Twitter can be used to supplement traditional professional development opportunities and bring new avenues for classroom resources to teachers. There is a wealth of content available throughout the internet and Twitter can be used as a tool to filter the most relevant and meaningful resources that are being used by others in related fields. In addition, Twitter provides the district with new opportunities for teaching acceptable "netiquette" as a part of 21st century skills and responsible digital citizenship.
