Twitter Chats

I just finished by second twitter chat and I think I am a fan overall! I participated in #4thchat and #edtechchat.

I participated in #4thchat on February 6, 2017.  This was my first time with this chat.  The day we had the chat, the theme was an "open mic night" where they didn't have a specific theme or discussion topic.  I was worried that there would not be much chatter but I was pleasantly surprised!  I was able to ask different questions and respond to many different.  There was probably about 10-15 people involved in the chat and I thought that was a great way to get me started.  It was pretty easy to follow for the most part and I was able to answer mentions and retweet when I needed.  I did end up following many different teachers that were involved so I thought that was great.  Overall, I think that I had a great first Twitter chat with #4thchat and I definitely will be back.

I also participated in #edtechchat on February 13, 2017,  This was my first time with this chat.  The topic of this chat was about Digital Learning Day and using digital learning in our classrooms.  This chat had more activity than the previous one but it was very interesting.  I was able to get some great ideas for coding in my classroom and I did follow a couple of people.  Since, it was so busy I did feel like I missed some things, but I think that is okay because I still was able to get so many new ideas! I will definitely go back to this chat again and hopefully keep up with the pace a little bit more!

I am getting very comfortable using Twitter and love participating in Twitter chats! It is amazing how much my PLN has grown through this course and with Twitter!
