#ONedchat Archive

The idea for @onedchat stemmed from a conversation between Allison Fuisz and Amy Bowker in the Spring of 2014. They noticed a gap on Twitter where an Ontario-based education chat was concerned. After several conversations and a vision in mind, @onedchat was created.

    #ONedchat A1 I think of learning as climbing mountains. All about the journey; working hard, climbing, reaching summits & enjoying journey.

    A1: There is no ending to learning. You can always go further and explore. #ONedchat
  • EBTSOYP Sep 27 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    It never stops, lots of twists and turns and more than one way to get to the same 'place' #ONedchat

    A1: Learning is about the process, the mistakes, the opportunities, and the experiences that enrich our minds and lives #ONedchat
  • deJagerEdu Sep 27 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A1: A journey isn't always easy, but it always shapes you. Learning is similar, it can change your perspective of the world. #ONedchat
  • noasbobs Sep 27 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A1: Learning is a process and the arrival at a destination is often short lived because there are always new roads to discover #ONedchat
  • jasontries Sep 27 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A1: The journey is the important part like the process is in learning. The destination/grade shouldn't be the focus #onedchat
