Brag calls.

We all have special ways to validate our students´ exceptional work or high scores. I usually congratulate those students during the next class. They get a special two-clap salute and a sticker. A Brag Call is a good idea. Someday it will be possible.

Twittering
It would be interesting to have a twitter exchange with an educator outside of Puerto Rico and compare our different points of views.
Have you Twittered yet?

“Brag calls” is an old strategy with a very unique name. I think it’s worth while to rescue the formal calls teachers made to check their students’ progress with this light and fun way. I’m sure it’s a very motivating not only for the student but for the whole family to receive such a call. It’s a great idea! I think I’ll try it. “Brag E-mails” would probably also work, although the instant gratification would be absent.

With all the different ways to send messages and get information, the up coming generations have many opportunities to develop their writing skills in such diverse ways. Twitter seems to be a direct and precise tool.

About “Brag Calls” and Twittering, I’ll be honest, I didn’t know about it nevertheless I found very important for instant communications and writing. It is true nowadays every body needs communication and affection maximum for the good things they do. I found it very interesting to be considered. Our students love to be congratulated and stimulated for what they do; I always look for the chance to award them. Hope when the technology comes totally to our school it could be easer to relate instantly.
