Twitter is My Jam!
In 2016, I created my twitter page to support students outside of the classroom. I tweeted reminders about homework, upcoming assessments, school closings, and other useful tips or jokes to keep the math energy alive online. I also showcased fun lesson activities and any fun extra-curricular activities like math competitions or other clubs.
Now, in 2021, I had the opportunity to rejuvenate my twitter and start branding myself as an active digital citizen. In the beginning, I spent time cleaning up my space. I changed my twitter handle from MCPSBlair to BlairJJohnson. Since my first name is also the name of a school in my district, I had to switch it up. I was very proud to be able to use my full name as it appears in my work e-mail address. That never happens. I always have to include a number or a special character. But not this time.
In addition to the name change. I had to edit my bio and profile. I changed my location to match the central city of my school district, I added my current affiliation and position, I made sure to remind my followers that all views are my own, and I still had the opportunity to add a little of my personality.
Check out this slide deck that walks through my experiences using Twitter for class. However, don't be fooled. I will continue using it, I enjoy it too much.
