The eduFire Blog

All day today, eduFire will be donating $3 per retweet (don’t know what a retweet is? Check out this free class on Twitter going on today!) to an ELL classroom in Oklahoma, up to $300. Click on the image below to get to the original Tweet so you can retweet it.

Please help these kids out! They are second-graders who don’t speak English at home, and that’s affecting their ability to learn how to read. By making this donation, we can help them learn using a bit of technology (we love technology!). All it takes is a simple retweet, nothing more, nothing less! We really love to support education in all shapes and sizes, so your help will be greatly appreciated, and directly help real people!

Now, this classroom actually needs $456 to reach their goal, so we want to encourage you to get involved too, if you are able! We’d like to ask any and all of you, who are reading this, to help out education and join our tweeting campaign! Just add your name on to the original tweet, and ask your followers to retweet it. We’ll be updating (below) whenever somebody else joins in. Be sure to tell us when you do, so we can write something so more people know!

If and when we do exceed $456, or if too many people donate to this cause before we get the money to them (probably tonight or tomorrow), we’ll pick another classroom to help, via this wonderful website, donorschoose.org.

So what are you waiting for! Open up your Twitter accounts and tweet tweet tweet away!

Update 1:23pm PDT: @tofugu will donate another $3 per retweet up to $100! Go Retweet his Tweet!
