I have the students answer four questions:<br /><br /><ol><li>What was your favorite thing we did this year?</li><li>What was your least favorite thing we did?</li><li>What was the most important thing you learned?</li><li>What was something you wish we'd spent more time doing?</li></ol><h2>Voting for the Lesson for the Last Day of Class</h2><div>Out of that conversation, I had all four classes echo that they wanted to know "how to get more followers on social media like you've done, 'Miss' Vicki." I let them vote on what I'd share the last day of school and that was it... a lesson they asked for but will not be graded. And while there is time for questions built in, it is largely a lecture - something I don't do much but sometimes should.</div><div><br /></div><h2><a href="http://www.haikudeck.com/p/Okp37QuOUd/how-to-mobilize-followers" target="_blank">How to get More Followers</a> (a 20 minute presentation)</h2><div>So, I spent yesterday drafting up my notes w/ a mindmap and then during my morning work time at 5 am, I used <a href="http://www.haikudeck.com/p/Okp37QuOUd/how-to-mobilize-followers" target="_blank">Haiku deck</a> on my ipad to zap up a cute, short presentation that will neatly fit in the 20 minute time slot I have with my students today. </div><div><br /></div><div>Plus, I hope I share clearly - followers aren't something you "get" they are something you earn from being helpful and it is very hard work. Not everyone wants to hear that.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, I've embedded that presentation to share with you and hope it gives you some advice and tips for Twitter or any social media.
