Welcome to NASDSE’s first Twitter Chat discussion!
On June 5th at 7 p.m. (EDT) the National Association of State Directors of Special Education @nasdse will host a discussion on #ExpandingTheClassroom on Twitter.
Recent events have forced the education community, students, and parents to become creative about learning. Throughout this entire week, we’ve encouraged you to blanket Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter with messages on the importance of special education distance learning—especially now due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The theme was #ExpandingTheClassroom.
On June 5th, we’re hoping to turn that conversation live on Twitter with our first discussion.
Here’s how it works:
Every 10 minutes or so between 7 and 8 p.m., we’ll share a question such as:
Q1. What has been your greatest challenge when it comes to #ExpandingTheClassroom?
You’ll supply your answer like so:
A.1. My biggest challenge has been …
That’s it! Keep it short and to the point. We’re hoping to learn from each other. Be sure to tag us @nasdse and use our special hashtag #ExpandingTheClassroom
We’re hoping the education and advocacy communities, instructional support personnel, and parents will participate in our discussion. Later, we’ll offer a blog post filled with lessons learned – from you the participants. Don’t forget to tag others, get your photos ready, and prepare to share as we learn and educate one another about how we’re all coping with helping children learn. We’ll also highlight the amazing work the education community and parents are doing to make sure all students continue to receive their education—despite the pandemic.
