The Return of the #3tweetchallenge

8/28/2013

1 Comment

 
Last spring's #3tweetchallenge is back for the opening of the 2013-14 school year! Let's grow the ranks of #strongms and #coginchaug Twitter users by encouraging our colleagues to take advantage of this powerful communication tool. The rules are simple: for current Twitter users, just refer an RSD13 colleague to create a Twitter account <u>and</i> post 3 times, tagging each tweet with the hashtag, #3tweetchallenge by Monday, September 9th. (He or she should acknowledge your influence in the first tweet, by tagging it with your '@twittername'). You and your Twitter disciple will then both be entered into a drawing for a #perkonmain gift card. Tweet at least 3 times with the #3tweetchallenge hastag and get a second entry into the drawing.

Don't forget to tag your tweets with our school hastags, #strongms and #coginchaug. It also helps to tag #rsd13ct--the best tweets coming out of the schools get picked up by the @RSD13CT account and posted to the district website (hint: it helps to tweet photos).

The ChromeBooks are in!

Strong and Memorial have each purchased several classroom sets of ChromeBooks--small notebook computers that run Google's Chrome operating system rather than Windows or Mac OS. This development will greatly expand the amount of technology available in each building and allow teachers to use computers more effectively in their classrooms.
