Why is my teacher on Twitter?

ISTE Standard 4 states that teachers model and promote digital citizenship and responsibility. For my project, I designed a poster explaining to my students why I have created a Twitter account. It is displayed in my classroom alongside articles about how to critically examine news articles, since a hot issue right now is the need for students (and all readers, really) to be able to better distinguish fake news from real news. I plan on changing out the articles every few weeks so that my display can address different concepts relating to digital citizenship throughout the year.

The poster highlights how Twitter relates to:
- Global citizenship
- Student-teacher relationships
- Professional development
- Media literacy
- Digital citizenship
