Twitter Chats

Twitter chats are an amazing opportunity to connect with other educators to talk about various aspects of education.

Use the second link to explore some of the twitter chats that are available and when they are. Couple of examples:
#OK2Ask (biweekly Thursday nights at 8:00 EST)
#edtechchat Meets Mondays at 5 p.m. PT /8 p.m. ET
#FlipClass Flipped Class Chat on Monday's at 8:00 EST

Choose a chat that peaks your interest and tune into it. I would recommend using tweetdeck. Laura has a great video, the beginning is short on set up and organization, but she also screencasts a whole chat so if you want to see what it looks like this is a great resource:
