District 204 social studies teachers will be offering an opportunity to attend and connect to other student citizens by following the forum live and through social media on Twitter:

I am encouraging students to attend and tweet some insights from the forum for credit:

When they tweet, they must also type: #ipsdforum

FOR EXAMPLE: "Can you believe what she just mentioned about education? #ipsdforum"
Then that tweet will be visible for all to see who click #ipsdforum. This will be our own personal room for this event and it will allow us to see every tweet the students send as long as they put in the aforementioned hashtag.
