Hashtags in the #Classroom

I read an article today from the TCEA's (Texas Computer Education Association) magazine TECHEDGE (August 2014).It had a lot of great articles, but the one that caught my attention the most wasHashtags in the #Classroom. Like the author, Sherry McElhannon stated, "Those tiny symbols..hold great power...that can open lines of communication, create community, or offer insight..." Hashtags do convey voice and like she reminded the reader:
1. They are made by the people, for the people
2. They appear in conjuction with major events (#fergeson), social movements, or just fun (#jff just for fun)
3. Chose a hashtag for particular projects or your campus

The elementary reading department has created their own CyFair PLN(personal learning network) with a hashtag. Teachers and admin can tweet with #cfisdelar  to share celebrations/successes, room designs, ideas, and more.
You never know how it might spread if you never #getgoing!
