Twitter Chats

I joined Twitter two or three years ago prior to attending a NETA conference.  I was told that my experience at NETA would be enhanced if I followed the hashtags and added to the discussion.  When I arrived at the NETA conference, there was so much information that I actually never used Twitter that day.  Since then, I deleted the app and have not been on Twitter until I completed this assignment.

I had heard of educational chats on Twitter before and I am glad I was able to experience it for myself.  I joined a #moed chat about feedback to students.  At first, I was overwhelmed trying to keep up with all of the posts.  However, once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed the experience.  It was exciting to see people from all over the country join together to share ideas and insight.  Some thought-provoking questions were posed and I learned from the variety of answers that were shared.  What an exciting learning environment!  I even took notes about the comments I wanted to remember.  I also saved several articles that I want to read in relation to the topic.

Twitter chats are an area that I want to explore more and I plan to join more chats in the near future.

This is a tool for feedback that I learned from the chat.  I plan to use it!
