Twitter Chat

I think that in this technological age we need to empower our kids to be cyber smart. This is one of the reasons why participating in kidsedchatnz on Twitter is really important. As one of the administrators of the chat put it: "We need to teach our kids to be responsible, respectful and mindful collaborators."

I look at the topics every week and choose topics that are relevant to us. The chat teaches us not only the above skills, but also to be succinct in what we write. We get the message across using a limited number of characters.

These are the questions for this week. Kids, talk to your parents about Twitter and see if you can come up with some ideas for replies to these questions!

This week our topic is 'Your School'

1. What do you like about your school / What makes your school special?
