The Road to the White House #SOTUSocial #WHSocial

You can apply to attend the #SOTUSocial. Attending the social is an honor and an experience for an American. It’s a privilege to be a #digitalcitizen and to participate in the political process no matter what one’s political beliefs are. The greatest quality about America is the honor to agree to disagree, but to also create a healthy dialogue. Americans must educate themselves about the issues and policies set forth by the current Administration so they can discuss what they like and dislike about our country’s policies. The #SOTUSocial is about creating a digital community to help create a better understanding about an event so many people in America disregard and ignore only to wake up to hear about the speech on the news the next morning.

Last year, my students created #utdSocial and tweeted with me. Many students said they had never been excited about watching the #SOTU before. My goal is to have students live tweet the #SOTU and for them to understand that no matter if you agree or disagree–a healthy dialogue is important. And one that is a privilege–especially when the @WhiteHouse encourages it.

The #SOTUSocial showcases the American citizen’s voice. Be heard. Ask Questions. Get involved. Learn about the process. Tweet the #SOTU
