Aside from being a fantastic way to connect to individuals and gather ideas for use in the classroom, Twitter also fosters conversations. How do you organize the constant flow of information coming through your stream? Twitter chats!Those hashtag things you learned about in an earlier quest are the best way to make a particular ideas easily searchable.
Jerry Blumengarten (aka @Cybraryman1) has some great resources on Twitter Chats on his website:
So, how do you find a Twitter Chat that's right for you and how do you get involved? Again, educators to the rescue! Educators @thomascmurray, @cevans5095, and @Cybraryman1 have compiled a schedule of education-related Twitter chats here.
One of the easiest ways to both monitor and participate in a Twitter chat is using a Twitter Client like TweetDeck, HootSuite, TweetBot (app), or a similar tool.
