Connect and Share with More School Counselors on Twitter


As I mentioned in my previous post I am working on School Counselor Twitter research with Dr. Erin Mason, founder of School Counselor Online Professional Exchange (SCOPE).  If you are a school counselor, school counseling graduate student, or counselor educator that uses Twitter, please take this survey to share how you use twitter: buff.ly/YsqLhf.

 I was charged with the task of determining how many school counselors there are on Twitter. At first I had no idea how I was going to do it... I mean Twitter is a pretty big place. I also wasn't sure what I would do with the information once I found it.  

 Then I had an idea that would not only help me catalog school counselors, but would beneficial to school counselors on Twitter.  I decided to create lists of school counselors on Twitter.  The Twitter lists I created will help school counselors, school counseling graduate students, and counselor educators on Twitter easily find and connect with other more easily. 

 If you are on Twitter you can subscribe to the lists to connect and share with other school counselors.  You can also be added to the list by tweeting to me or Direct Messaging me on Twitter. My handle is @sch_counselor. I have been working on finding and adding school counselors who state that they are a school counselor in their Twitter profile. 

 You can view all of the lists I created here or subscribe to specific lists by clicking on the topic below.
  • School Counselors part1 - Subscribe to connect with school counselors, school counseling graduate students, and counselor educators! 
  • School Counselors part2 - Subscribe to connect with school counselors, school counseling graduate students, and counselor educators! (You can only fit 500 members on a list so I needed to create an additional list of school counselors! These lists are not ranked in anyway they are equally important.) 
  • School Accounts - School Counseling Programs and Departments using twitter to share information with their school community.
  • School Counselor Organizations - School Counseling Organizations including state School Counselor Organizations.
  • Counselor Education Programs - Counselor Education Programs using Twitter.
Another great way to connect and share with school counselors on twitter is to participate in the monthly School Counselor Tweet Chats that Dr. Mason and I host. You can find more information and a schedule for the School Counselor Tweet Chats here.  The next School Counselor Twitter chat is on Tuesday, December 4th at 8pmEST.

 How will you use School Counselor Twitter lists to connect and share with more school counselors?

Take What You Need, Give What You Can Sticky Note Board

Image
Last year, I saw a lot of "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" Bulletin Boards popping up everywhere. I decided to fuel my new found love of printing on sticky notes and make a sticky note version. The idea behind the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" board is that you take a positive message that you "need" to hear or "give" (write) a positive or uplifting message for someone else to take. I displayed the "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board on a window near the school counseling office. A traditional bulletin board could also be used to display this sticky note board.  I created 18 different positve messages to print on sticky notes for the "Take What You Need" side of the board. To make this "Take What You Need, Give What You Can" sticky note board, you will need the following items: A printer Printer paper to print the sticky

Spring Mindfulness Bulletin Board with QR Codes

Image
I created this colorful, interactive, spring bulletin board for our March & April PBIS theme, mindfulness. I made this bulletin board interactive for students by adding QR Codes with different mindfulness activities. Since most things need to be touch-less right now, I thought using QR Codes would be an easy way for students to access some mindfulness activities. If you are not familiar with QR Codes, QR stands for Quick Response. QR Codes are scannable with a smart device camera (iPad, tablet, or smart phone). you can easily make your own QR codes by using a QR Code generator. You can link the QR Code to a website or online document. When the user scans the QR Code they will be directed to the link. I used  QR Code Generator  to create the QR Codes.  I got the idea for this bulletin board while looking for mindfulness resources. I stumbled upon a New York Times article about "Pinwheel Breathing." This sent me down a rabbit hole of brainstorming a
