ECET2Lou Week
Getting Pumped & Getting Involved
#JCPSChat - Tweet, Meet and maybe win a "Treat"
Our #JCPSChat has quickly become the largest global district Twitter chat.
Since our inaugural chat in August 2015, we have reached 1.6 million users and engaged nearly 1,000 educators. Each month, we focus on a central topic and ask questions that spark solutions-oriented dialogues. Many district leaders have taken part as comoderators and our JCPS Communications department now partners with us to give district wide #SHOUTOUTS at the end of each chat.
Our February chat will focus on #ECET2Lou and classroom tips & tricks.
We want YOU to take part. Our questions are listed below!
We will be designating four (4) of our $50 Amazon gift cards at the end of our Saturday convening for #JCPSChat participants. Any attendee who creates authentic tweets (not just likes and retweets) will have their name entered into a drawing for these Amazon gift cards.
We know that Twitter (and more specifically Twitter chats) can be intimidating. To help you "get your feet wet" we would like to provide you with some visuals. Click on the pics below to see them in more detail.
If you would like to ask our team questions about taking part in #JCPSChat, please DM @jcpsforward or email jcpsforward1@gmail.com.
