13 Education Twitter Chats
Virtual Meetings for Educators
Introduction
Education Twitter chats take place when a group of educators
"meet" on Twitter at an agreed upon time, using an agreed
upon hashtag, to discuss topics of interest in education.
Twitter chats range from small discussions with only a few
participants to huge conversations with dozens or even
hundreds of educators taking part! They provide a unique
opportunity for educators to discuss specific topics of
interest and connect with colleagues around the world.
The word from educators in the trenches is that these chats are
making a profound difference in how educators are
improving their professional practice, providing ideas,
resources and inspiration in ways never thought possible.
Twitter Chat Tips and Instructions


Use a tool like Tweetdeck, Tweetchat, or Twubs to follow that chat. On a mobile
device, you may find an app like Hootsuite to be helpful.



When participating in a chat, don't forget to include the chat hashtag, prefaced by
the # sign, or else chat participants will miss your Tweets! Some tools, like Tweetchat,
will append the hashtag automatically. It's easy to forget when you are deep in a
discussion, so get in the habit of double checking your tweets before hitting "send."



Some chats move very quickly and it can be difficult to keep with all the chatter.
Don't be intimidated or feel that you have to read everything! Just catch what you
can. Many chats are archived afterwards and can be a gold mine of valuable
information and resources. Often, a link to the archive will be shared at the end of
the chat. Or, just do a Google search for the chat hashtag and the word "archives."
For example, a search for "edchat archives" brings you quickly to the #edchat
archive at edchat.pbworks.com.



Participating in Twitter chats is a great way to build your Personal Learning Network.
Twitter chats attract passionate educators who are dedicated to lifelong learning,
improving their professional practice, and sharing resources with others. Follow
people with whom you interact, or who tweet helpful resources and/or comments
that resonate with you. Chats provide terrific opportunities for relationship building!
