Twitter chats are amazing. I loved participating in them. I chose to participate in #moedchat over the last two weeks both on Thursday nights at 9 PM CST. The community of people involved in these chats are very welcoming and supportive. They work together to create an environment where learning is encouraged and respected. The Two chats were similar in format and most of the same people were involved but the topics were completely different. The first was about METC14, which I was able to follow through Twitter. The Second was about Augmented Reality, which was bran spanking new to me! I absolutely loved the ideas and resources that came from these chats that I can take back to my classroom and school to put to good use.
After I finished each chat I went back through and followed the active members of the chat to build my PLN. Doing this has increase the amount of resources I am being exposed to on Twitter daily. I am still benefiting from the chats well after I have participated in each of them. I plan on participating in many more chats like these with the expectation that each time I do I will be growing as a professional and increasing the size of my PLN. I am always learning.
There isn't much I would change about these chats. I can only get better at following the chats, I need a pause button! I am excited to keep learning and improving my Twitter chat experiences!
