I think you learn even more from the interactions on Twitter than about Twitter itself. Welcome aboard! #nt2t

I have had to use twitter for one of my summer classes, and it has been so frustrating. These scheduled chats are never available. #nt2t

Rebecca, I am in the same boat. I've had no luck with any chat this week except last night & the chat was with my classmates#edt5335 #nt2t
colinsimmons91 Jul 15 @ 9:17 AM EDT

I have used twitter for a previous class as well but am not very knowledgable #edt5335 #nt2t
DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:19 AM EDT

Are you using it in a grad class? That's refreshing that higher Ed is thinking like that. #nt2t

DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:20 AM EDT

Hi @@stephwurking. How's your summer going? #nt2t
colinsimmons91 Jul 15 @ 9:21 AM EDT

Yes, I am using it for a grad class! I am interested to see how educators use twitter to help them! #edt5335 #nt2t

trissib610 Jul 15 @ 9:23 AM EDT

This is my first go with twitter too. I am trying to get up to date with it. Not going too well so far. #edt5335 #nt2t
DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:23 AM EDT

I'm past that, but I use it a lot professionally and when I was teaching I used with students in the classroom. #nt2t

#Nt2t I look up the Educhat twitter schedule to find educational twitter chats... any other suggestions?
trissib610 Jul 15 @ 9:24 AM EDT

@DrHarrisonMcCoy how did you use it in the classroom? #edt5335 #nt2t
colinsimmons91 Jul 15 @ 9:24 AM EDT

, did you have a class twitter for your students? #edt5335 #nt2t

https://t.co/Nk37yQnKrI Try this Michelle. #edt5335 #nt2t
NatalieWoodsJ Jul 15 @ 9:26 AM EDT

@DrHarrisonMcCoy, Also very interested on how you use it in the classroom? What age group? #edt5335 #nt2t
DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:26 AM EDT

Well, if this was a regular #nt2t chat someone would advise moving past the egg phase with a photo. Then, dive in like you're doing.

2/2...formative assessment and global classroom connections. ##nt2t

DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:30 AM EDT

I did have a class account and my campus had a school account. Easier with HS students though. #nt2t

DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:32 AM EDT

It's like any tech tool you want to use. I into it and teach how to use it. Then use it regularly. They might only use it for class. #NT2t

DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:34 AM EDT

Sometimes Twiiter was a great way to get Ss to locate "expert" help for PBL work, too. #nt2t
colinsimmons91 Jul 15 @ 9:35 AM EDT

I teach at a title one school, students are low socioeconomic. Not a lot of access to internet #edt5335 #nt2t
In reply to @DrHarrisonMcCoy, @trissib610
trissib610 Jul 15 @ 9:36 AM EDT

That has been my question about technology in schools. How to get it to the lower SES kids. #edt5335 #nt2t
DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:36 AM EDT

I used a little bit with grades 7-8, but also with my 9th graders most recently. #NT2t
In reply to @NatalieWoodsJ
NatalieWoodsJ Jul 15 @ 9:37 AM EDT

That is a great idea I work at a PBL school and it would be great for those 21st Century skills #nt2t

I teach upper elementary Im afraid it might be over a few of their heads, some of them would totally thrive #edt5335 #nt2t
In reply to @DrHarrisonMcCoy
DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:38 AM EDT

I've been in Title 1 schools most of my career. It's not an even playing field but sometimes Ss have more access than we think. #nt2t

colinsimmons91 Jul 15 @ 9:40 AM EDT

I am wiling to try it! Anything to motivate my students! #edt5335 #nt2t
In reply to @DrHarrisonMcCoy
trissib610 Jul 15 @ 9:41 AM EDT

@colinsimmons91 I feel the same. I will try anything for student motivation #edt5335 #nt2t
DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:42 AM EDT

Make Twitter a choice. Teach your Ss how to use it responsibly as a tool when it's available to them. It will expand their world. #nt2t
In reply to @colinsimmons91, @trissib610
DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:44 AM EDT

You def have safety issues with elementary Ss, too. I have used fake Twitter in ES -- Post-it notes on the board to teach connection. #nt2t
In reply to @NatalieWoodsJ
DrHarrisonMcCoy Jul 15 @ 9:46 AM EDT

Now you could use tools like @padlet to do the same digitally if you have the devices. #NT2t

Don't give up on this chat, guys. It's a great group. Jump over to #satchatwc in a bit and #leadupchat is going right now too. #nt2t
trissib610 Jul 15 @ 9:55 AM EDT

When do those chats typically meet? This time on Saturday mornings? #edt5335 #nt2t
stephwurking - Moderator Jul 15 @ 9:57 AM EDT

Could always be better - for instance relaxing on a picturesque beach. Thanks for asking. What about you? #nt2t
