Twitter Chat #nt2t

The first twitter education chat that I joined was #nt2t. This is such a positive place to look for guidance when first using twitter and joining in on conversations!! Everyone involved with #nt2t is very positive and encouraging. This is such a great resource for teachers to learn the basics about twitter and more so connecting with other educators across the country. Some things that I learned from #nt2t include:

• To search for a specific chat all you need to do is search the # in the search box. 

• Questions are marked as Q1:, Q2:, Q3: and so on and to answer these questions you put A1:, A2:, A3; ect. This really was helpful to join in and follow the conversations. 

• On some chats, the questions will be posted before the chat begins but not always. I thought it was really helpful to see the questions before the chat began to know what was going be discussed.

As I start getting more comfortable with using twitter, I want to learn more about the tweetdeck as I think it can be very beneficial. These education chats are a great way to learn and grow as an educator.
