  • TDSchollen Apr 22 @ 9:08 AM EDT
    That sounds awesome! I'm not sure about how to use Tweetdeck and I'd love the help. #Nt2t

    Tristan you do not have to "join" ##nt2t You just start responding, like butting into a conversation but more politely
    In reply to @TDSchollen
  • TDSchollen Apr 22 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    Thank you very much! Tweetdeck is actually really cool and helps me keep these messages organized! #Nt2t
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    A2) Search for particular hashtag, person, etc. and can choose to create a column for it. You can also make columns for diff lists. #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    As long as you use our hashtag in your tweet (#NT2t) you are "in" our chat Tristan. You are doing great!
    In reply to @TDSchollen
  • GruntledChalkie Apr 22 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    A2. Press the + button. The idea is you can focus on that hashtag and screen out the other "noise" #nt2t
  • JKatzaman Apr 22 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    A2 Click on Add Column and select Notifications. I always leave that open. For this chat, in the search field type #NT2t and hit enter.
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:17 AM EDT
    You are doing fantastic Tristan! Just take it one step at a time and please, ask questions. We are all here to help out! #NT2t
    In reply to @TDSchollen

    Yes. If there is an event happening the class can follow it #nt2t

    Definitely Tristan! Set up separate columns for chats, people, events, etc. We'll talk abt the diff kinds of columns in just a l bit. #NT2t
    In reply to @TDSchollen
  • hturk139 - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:19 AM EDT
    When populating your TweetDeck, it's important not to overwhelm yourself...don't defeat the purpose of TweetDeck! #nt2t

  • hturk139 - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:22 AM EDT
    Whatever works for your brain. I keep my regular chats up all the time, and a few users that I really enjoy. #nt2t
    In reply to @TDSchollen
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:22 AM EDT
    Once you create columns, you can move around. Like to move column for chat I'm in near my notifications column so I can see replies. #nt2t
    In reply to @TDSchollen
  • BarbaraGruener Apr 22 @ 9:22 AM EDT
    You will want a notifications column for any convos that might happen and a column for the chat(s) you are currently in. #nt2t
    In reply to @TDSchollen
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A3: Which type of column do you need? @TweetDeck has many to choose from! #NT2t
  • hturk139 - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    YES, I do this too! I always like to have notifications/messages in view so I can keep side convos going. #nt2t
    In reply to @CHitch94, @TDSchollen
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    Sure. You can put ones that are related next to each other and group that way. #nt2t
    In reply to @TDSchollen
  • JKatzaman Apr 22 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A3 When you click on Add Columns, you'll see a choice of 15 types of columns. As @shyj says, you can add oddles more, but don't OD. #NT2t

  • TDSchollen Apr 22 @ 9:25 AM EDT
    Well, I'm going to participate in a few Twitterchats for my class here at GCC, and I think the search column looks like the best match #Nt2t
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:25 AM EDT
    Agree! Love the scheduling column as I scheduled tweets for chat promos and for my courses. Also recommend the messages column. #nt2t
    In reply to @GruntledChalkie
  • GruntledChalkie Apr 22 @ 9:25 AM EDT
    what is important right now. At a particular time I might want to filter specific users who are tweeting from an event #nt2t

    A4... Very basic idea but say it's a friends birthday and you want to wish them HB before work but you'll be busy. Schedule. #nt2t
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:34 AM EDT
    It's good for us as teachers to find ourselves in these places of learning. Reminds us how Ss often feel. #nt2t
    In reply to @Castle_NFC, @JKatzaman
  • GruntledChalkie Apr 22 @ 9:34 AM EDT
    The other advantage of a scheduled tweet is you have more time to think about what you wrote #nt2t
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:35 AM EDT
    Yes! You can always delete it or edit it. Great point! #nt2t

    #NT2t A4: scheduling tweets is also helpful if you want to get your Ss work out in front of a captive audience. Schedule them during a chat!

    This is also true of scheduling text messages. I have to do it when I think of it, or I'll never remember! #nt2t

    Q5: What benefits are there from keeping separate columns by user or hashtag? #Nt2t

    A5) Sooooo much easier to follow a chat and keep track of the discussion. Makes the firehose of info from Twitter manageable. #nt2t
  • MrsMurat Apr 22 @ 9:38 AM EDT
    #NT2t A5: it helps you manage multiple chats at once or to see the chat and notifications. Helps you better interact with chat participants.
  • JKatzaman Apr 22 @ 9:38 AM EDT
    A5 Separate TweetDeck columns are essential so you don't go crazy and still keep up with conversations. #NT2t
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:39 AM EDT
    A5: Organization is key to managing your Twitter account and chats. Columns are a way to do that and make chatting so much easier! #NT2t
  • GruntledChalkie Apr 22 @ 9:39 AM EDT
    A5. Filtering. Following 2000 people a lot whizzes by. This way i can isolate relevant chats or people #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:39 AM EDT
    Yes it is and congrats to BOTH of you for participating. I promise, it gets easier as you go. Rely on us for help-ask questions! #NT2t

    Definitely gets easier! You are rocking! #nt2t

    I always feel overwhelmed by that, and I'm not really sure what all of them mean, so my default is to just search. #nt2t

    AWESOME @Castle_NFC We can see you now!! #NT2t
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:43 AM EDT
    I usually have Tweetdeck open in a tab while I'm working so I can see what's going on. :) #nt2t

    In reply to @Castle_NFC

    Key phrase here is "at the moment". It's just a matter of time before you're fully 'on deck'. (Pardon the pun). #nt2t

    A6: I have seen that the max number of accounts you can have in @TweetDeck is 200, but can't verify that anywhere. However, plz note 👇 #NT2t
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:47 AM EDT
    A6) Think so though I haven't done it. Great if you have professional and personal accounts, for example. #nt2t
  • stephwurking - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:47 AM EDT
    So you can be almost omnipresent with Tweetdeck! #nt2t
    In reply to @GruntledChalkie
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:48 AM EDT
    Here is a fun search feature in @TweetDeck #NT2t
  • JKatzaman Apr 22 @ 9:48 AM EDT
    A6 Maybe you can have multiple Twitter accounts on TweetDeck, but if so, ask yourself how confused do you want to be? #NT2t
  • seni_bl Apr 22 @ 9:48 AM EDT
    Yes, Bio is essential. It's a help for followers, means orientation. #nt2t
    In reply to @Castle_NFC, @shyj
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:49 AM EDT
    I have managed Twitter accounts for work & other projects.At one time I had 4 accounts linked in @tweetdeck Made life so much easier! #NT2t
    In reply to @CHitch94, @TweetDeck
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:50 AM EDT
    A4) When you create a new tweet in Tweetdeck, one of the options is to schedule tweet. #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:50 AM EDT
    Scheduling a tweet is super easy! Keep in mind, when scheduling a tweet you can only have 1 photo attached, not 2. #NT2t
  • CHitch94 Apr 22 @ 9:50 AM EDT
    Huh. I must have accidentally scheduled this one when I was geting the screenshot. LOL #nt2t

    ***Q7, last one for today, coming up in one minute! #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:51 AM EDT
    I just keep the columns for my separate accounts next to each other. All I have to do is move over to that specific account's columns. #NT2t
    In reply to @JKatzaman
  • hturk139 - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    Q7: What are Tweetdeck collections? How can I make and use them? #NT2t
  • seni_bl Apr 22 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    A6: Organizing Multiple accounts it's easy in TweetDeck. You have your thumbnails and can click to activate or deactivate accounts. #nt2t
  • LitProfSuz Apr 22 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    Thanks #NT2t I've been on Twitter for a long time but I haven't used TweetDeck much. This chat helped me see why I should. Great tips!

    In reply to @LitProfSuz
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 22 @ 9:54 AM EDT
    A7: Cool thing about using collections is that you can embed the grid and easily update it! #NT2t
  • JKatzaman Apr 22 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    I had to grasp that since I don't have multiple accounts. My multiple columns are for chats -- sometimes simultanously. #NT2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • GruntledChalkie Apr 22 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    Can someone explain collections #nt2t #nt2t

  • HarMath Apr 22 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    #nt2t Did anyone mention the separation of 'activity' (follows) column from 'home'? Love that all that has been pulled from main feed.
