Twitter is one of the most popular social networks in the world. What makes Twitter so popular is its ease of use and how easy it is to communicate with people from around the world. This TPS Techie Twitter Challenge is designed to get you started tweeting and begin building a Personal Learning Network (PLN) where you can learn from other like-minded teachers from across the world.

This is a voluntary challenge, however you can earn 2 professional development points for completing all 10 challenges. You will also earn this cool looking badge that you can proudly display in your room, in your email signature, or even on your refrigerator at home!

You will find all the information about this Twitter challenge on the TPS Techie Twitter Challenge Google Classroom page. You can join that Google Classroom with this code rfacgsd. I’ve added help video to each of the challenges if you are not sure how to do that particular challenge.

If you would like to earn 2 PD points for completing this challenge please sign-up for the challenge on My Learning Plan (MLP).
