  • shyj - Moderator Apr 8 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    Q2: How do you break away from the constriction of time zones on Twitter? #NT2t
  • JeremyDBond Apr 8 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    A1) Get a profile pic, since the default was (until a couple of weeks ago) an egg. Add a bio. Join a community. Don't be anonymous. #nt2t
    • shyj - Moderator Apr 8 @ 9:07 AM EDT
      Q1:What does it mean when someone tells you to break you egg on Twitter?

    YES! Only 15 minutes to work now! I have given myself 5 HOURS of my life every day back! #NT2t
    In reply to @brianrozinsky

    A1: to post a photo of yourself, I connect more with faces #nt2t

    A1: When you break your egg, pic a great pic of yourself and write up your bio Short, sweet & informative #nt2t
  • KenFlottSB Apr 8 @ 9:15 AM EDT

    As a new teacher to twitter i had no idea about the egg image, thanks for clearing this one up #nt2t
  • jschwartzcen Apr 8 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    #nt2t A1: When I use my class Twitter acct. it really helps knowing where the class is from . Important to put location in profile
  • tweetgoji Apr 8 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    #NT2t A1: I really don't know the answer to this question, but I'm​ suddenly craving eggs...
  • seni_bl Apr 8 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    A1: make your profile personal! Use a photo instead of the egg to show who you are. #nt2t
  • mtartaro Apr 8 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    Just a guess but to give it try? Get started? Kind of like saying "get your feet wet". #nt2t
  • JeremyDBond Apr 8 @ 9:15 AM EDT

    Agree Jeremy! The world doesn't really revolve around time zones any more with tech available 24/7. We are free to jump in whenever #NT2t

    A2) Thanks to technology having constrictions with time zones is never an issue anymore. You can check from your phone anytime! #NT2T

  • BlainlySpoken Apr 8 @ 9:19 AM EDT
    Same here - certain chats are in my calendar. Where ever I am, I hope on and at least stalk if not participate #nt2t

    A2. Anyone else remember sending these old fashioned "Tweets"? We've come a LONG way! #NT2T
  • MrsDamianoWH Apr 8 @ 9:20 AM EDT
    #nt2t If you schedule your tweets and someone replies, do you just reply later?
    In reply to @KenFlottSB
  • ScottCichowlas Apr 8 @ 9:20 AM EDT
    A2: have multiple time zones on your phone for quick reference on who is sleeping and who will be likely to reply #nt2t
  • jschwartzcen Apr 8 @ 9:20 AM EDT
    Good idea. #nt2t #rm10twitter
  • CStewartNISD Apr 8 @ 9:20 AM EDT
    Same here! I have forgotten about 3 chats I wanted to "attend" this week! #Nt2t
    In reply to @jessxbo, @shyj
  • brianrozinsky Apr 8 @ 9:20 AM EDT
    Yup, always something on. Or following hashtag in Tweetdeck column enables skimming through ill-timed chat on own schedule. Like DVR! #nt2t
    In reply to @BlainlySpoken
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 8 @ 9:20 AM EDT
    Informative is key! It's our first "handshake" where I get to know you. Make it count! #NT2t

    Of course! #nt2t

    Q3: Is it okay to take a break away from Twitter? Why or why not? #NT2t
  • JeremyDBond Apr 8 @ 9:21 AM EDT
    I have tons of chats in my calendar. Check the topics every week to know which ones I'll join (if available). #nt2t
    In reply to @BlainlySpoken
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 8 @ 9:21 AM EDT
    I have added appts in my calendar - with reminders- for chats I really want to attend. This has helped a ton! #NT2t

    A3: Twitter is always gonna be there. Sometimes u need a break from everything. Just come back! #nt2t Free PD as my prof says
  • jschwartzcen Apr 8 @ 9:21 AM EDT
    No, it shows your passion / interest. Tells us a little about yourself visually. #nt2t
    • MrsDamianoWH Apr 8 @ 9:13 AM EDT
      Okay so I should get rid of the picture of my dog then? Lol
      In reply to @jschwartzcen
  • teresagross625 Apr 8 @ 9:22 AM EDT
    Hmmm......I have never scheduled tweets for a chat I can't be in. I always schedule when I moderate. Good ? #nt2t
    In reply to @MrsDamianoWH, @KenFlottSB
  • brianrozinsky Apr 8 @ 9:22 AM EDT
    Yes, time has little (no?) meaning on Twitter :) Notifications can help keep convos percolating. #NT2T

    You could just say, I am unable to be in chat, my tweets are scheduled, will respond at a later time. #nt2t
    In reply to @MrsDamianoWH, @KenFlottSB
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 8 @ 9:22 AM EDT
    Yes! Archives are a life saver when u can't make it or missed something (I always miss something). We will post archive right after #NT2t
    • teresagross625 Apr 8 @ 9:15 AM EDT
      A2: can always go back and see archives of chats, best part is there is always a chat happening usually! #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Apr 8 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A3: It is ALWAYS okay to take a break from Twitter, social media, and/or tech! Connect with others IRL 😂 #NT2t
  • JeremyDBond Apr 8 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A3) YES, and we should. We need a break from everything. Practice and model a proper balance. I take certain days off, sometimes more. #nt2t
  • Doug_Ranly Apr 8 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A3) Yes, that break can help you relax if need be. Sometimes you need to get away to come back and appreciate it more. #NT2T
  • CStewartNISD Apr 8 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A3) A break is fine... As long as I don't let it be a month long break. I might not ever return! #nt2t
  • teresagross625 Apr 8 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A3: ABSOLUTELY! In fact, I have been working out more and doing social media less. Balance is key. #nt2t
  • brianrozinsky Apr 8 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    A3 Sure, breaks are fine. Healthy antidote to building tolerance for potential fear of missing out. #nt2t

    Agree Dennis. It's what most do when first join Twitter; try to find others who think like you. Need to expand mindset & PLN. #NT2t

    I haven't yet participated in slow chats but they're a great idea. Especially when "quick" chats end and you have more to say. #nt2t

    A6: best advice I got: don't be shy, take part in chats, give your opinion, share your ideas. And you will find like-minded ppl #nt2t

    Q7: How can Twitter help you break down educational barriers? #NT2t
  • cpstobart Apr 8 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    #nt2t One of the great things about chats is that sometimes we can feel professionally isolated and do not have a handy 'physical' PLN
  • JeremyDBond Apr 8 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    A6) Join chats. I appreciate how welcoming they've been to people who have other roles, like me. Hard to give up space with your kind. #nt2t
  • mtartaro Apr 8 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    A1 - Just a guess but to give it try? Get started? Kind of like saying "get your feet wet". #nt2t

    A7: Break the barriers by talking with others from around the world. Share ur ideas, ask questions of each other, collaborate #NT2t
  • MrsDamianoWH Apr 8 @ 9:54 AM EDT
    A7: It might be hard to find Ts for same content at same grade level in your district to chat/plan with, twitter breaks that barrier #NT2t

  • JeremyDBond Apr 8 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    Can't stress this enough for why schools must be active on social media. And not an obligatory presence. Engaging. #digcit #k12prchat #nt2t
    • jschwartzcen Apr 8 @ 9:41 AM EDT
      I mentioned that we have to put out our message before someone else does. That someone else may not be so positive. #nt2t
