A1- LD twitter chats! Lover them! Even though can't always make it. #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:15 PM EDT

Anything missing from the chats? Something we could do to make them more engaging for you and others? #ldchat

AleGusano Mar 15 @ 12:15 PM EDT

New to the chat, have found a lot of useful information@UnderstoodOrg #ldchat
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:16 PM EDT

A1 Also love that you have different facilitators for the #LDchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
kerriYWG Mar 15 @ 12:16 PM EDT

A1. Not a parent, but I like that I’ve connected with @understood staff to discuss what would make Understood more relevant to me #LDchat
In reply to @understood
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:16 PM EDT

A1 - Also like the resources that you post related to the topics. #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:16 PM EDT

Oh good! We started implementing weekly cohosts last year. Glad you enjoy them! #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
lindsaychirps Mar 15 @ 12:17 PM EDT

A1 I like when you tweet out links to the simulations &I first accounts from students #ldchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
edielovesmath Mar 15 @ 12:17 PM EDT

I love LDchat, especially with the 30 minute format. @UnderstoodOrg #LDchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
kerriYWG Mar 15 @ 12:18 PM EDT

A1. I like 30 minute chats like @edielovesmath but also when I am late, i am much later now ;). haha #ldchat
In reply to @edielovesmath
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:18 PM EDT

I notice that you will tweet that an #ldchat is coming up. Do you post that in Facebook? #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:18 PM EDT

Have you shared the simulations with others? #ldchat
In reply to @lindsaychirps
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:18 PM EDT

The 30-min format is another change started last year, designed to help the chat flow more fluidly. #ldchat
In reply to @edielovesmath
edielovesmath Mar 15 @ 12:18 PM EDT

It's helpful to have access to the parent articles on the hashtag. @UnderstoodOrg #LDchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:19 PM EDT

Meaning sometimes I'm on fb and see the tweet later and say, "darn I missed a good one". #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:19 PM EDT

Right now, we just promote the chats on Facebook via our "This Week on Understood" calendar. #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
lindsaychirps Mar 15 @ 12:19 PM EDT

I share them all the time with educators and parents at work. Plan to use them more in the future #ldchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:20 PM EDT

That's very helpful to know. #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:20 PM EDT

The 30 min is +/-. An hr sometimes seemed long, but at 30 min, when I'm late (like today) feel like I missed a lot. #ldchat. @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:21 PM EDT

We've toyed with the idea of making it a 30- to 60-min chat, depending on the topic. Would that be helpful? #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:22 PM EDT

It just wouldn't be consistent week to week. #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:22 PM EDT

Also, I don't exactly know where to find the archived chats. #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
kerriYWG Mar 15 @ 12:22 PM EDT

yes! #ldchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg, @lisaklipfel
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:22 PM EDT

Ah, good question! You can find all archived chats at https://t.co/Dv6EPzPWE0. Just click on the chat title. #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:22 PM EDT

Q2. Turning to Facebook, if you like us there, what sorts of content do you like seeing most? #ldchat
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:22 PM EDT

And, I don't get the fb chats AT ALL! I don't understand how that works. #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:23 PM EDT

It's nice to have it consistent. I might then be confused. I'm late...is it sill running. #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
edielovesmath Mar 15 @ 12:23 PM EDT

Having chats that fluctuate in length would be difficult for me. I need to schedule client meetings. @UnderstoodOrg @lisaklipfel #LDchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg, @lisaklipfel
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:24 PM EDT

(1/2) For the Facebook chats, we have an expert on hand. All you need to do is post your question in the comments. #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
UnderstoodJennO Mar 15 @ 12:24 PM EDT

I like this. Sometimes, it's getting really good, and then it's "times up!" #ldchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg, @lisaklipfel
kerriYWG Mar 15 @ 12:24 PM EDT

could we do Facebook event reminders for the twitter chats? #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel, @UnderstoodOrg
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:24 PM EDT

(2/2) And we'll post the expert's response within a few hours. #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:24 PM EDT

It's certainly a possibility! #ldchat
In reply to @kerriYWG
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:25 PM EDT

Would you all say you spend more time consistently on Facebook than Twitter? #ldchat
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:25 PM EDT

But I get confused on where to post a question and where the answer will be. Sounds lame, but I do. #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
edielovesmath Mar 15 @ 12:26 PM EDT

I just started a Facebook page in Jan. How do I access the chat? @UnderstoodOrg @lisaklipfel #LDchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg, @lisaklipfel
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:26 PM EDT

time- Facebook. But I feel with twitter it is more conversational. It feels more like a lecture hall on fb. #ldchat @UnderstoodOrg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
lindsaychirps Mar 15 @ 12:28 PM EDT

I only use my professional Twitter acct to follow https://t.co/3Px0QgNylo #ldchat
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:28 PM EDT

(1/2) At the time of the FB chat, we post a photo of the expert. Post your question in the comments of that post. #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:28 PM EDT

(2/2) The expert response will also appear in the comments. #ldchat
In reply to @lisaklipfel
edielovesmath Mar 15 @ 12:28 PM EDT

It it possible to address issues for older students? Like transition IEPs and ADA. #ldchat @understoodorg
In reply to @UnderstoodOrg
lisaklipfel Mar 15 @ 12:29 PM EDT

So here'ss this week's social media engagement. I don't understand where I'd go for the webinar. I don't understand format of #1, #5 #ldchat
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:29 PM EDT

Check out our calendar, https://t.co/Dv6EPzPWE0, to see when all Facebook chats are. Then just head to our page then. #ldchat
In reply to @edielovesmath
UnderstoodOrg Mar 15 @ 12:29 PM EDT

Good feedback. #ldchat
