Here's a simple Prezi that provides three great reasons to use Twitter in your school.
1. Free text alerts to parents - Create a Twitter account for your school and have parents follow it on their phones for instant updates and alerts.
2. Instant news ticker to celebrate success - A Tweeting principal can be a success catcher and share what he finds in school via Tweets that auto populate to the school website. Teachers and students deserve to be noticed and celebrated. This is one free and easy way to do that.
3. Twitter education chats - Chat with others about important education issues using appropriate hashtags. Great way to learn and connect with ed leaders and those who share your passions.
