Q1 is here! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jan 18 @ 10:04 PM EST

A1 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there. A great use of time while waiting in line at the grocery store, etc. #BSD7chat!

AlisonFeddes Jan 18 @ 10:04 PM EST

A1: In the evening when my kiddos are doing homework or at practice. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jan 18 @ 10:04 PM EST

It definitely is! A T's day is busy busy busy. And then there is life outside of school. A challenge for sure. #BSD7chat!

AlisonFeddes Jan 18 @ 10:03 PM EST

It is complicated to find time to keep the learning going! :)

Q2: What advice do you have for Ts who are new to Twitter? How to get started and make it meaningful? #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jan 18 @ 10:07 PM EST

They do their homework, and we do ours, right? Always learning and growing. #BSD7chat!

rachelmarker - Moderator Jan 18 @ 10:08 PM EST

A2: 5 minutes a day. Every day. At first, just consume. Try 1 like and 1 retweet each day. Soon it will feel more comfortable. #BSD7chat!

mtkristigaines Jan 18 @ 10:08 PM EST

A1: Here there and everywhere! Quick reads during lunch, lurking on a chat while I wait for kids, car rides to sports tournaments. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jan 18 @ 10:09 PM EST

That sounds just about right! We can definitely glean insights in just a few minutes here and there. #BSD7chat!

A2 just start Twitter slow; it snowballs from there bc it makes ur life easier; so many great ideas #bsd7chat

AlisonFeddes Jan 18 @ 10:09 PM EST

A2: I use twitter only for teaching, so it isn't clogged with too many things. #BSD7chat

mtkristigaines Jan 18 @ 10:09 PM EST

How very Timely! Ha! #BSD7chat

A2 b) Also, find hashtags that will help you narrow the constant Twitter 'flow'. Great resource: https://t.co/3D84gylwIl #BSD7chat

HI Andre! Glad you're here! Yes, I"m a night owl, too. #whoneedssleep #BSD7chat

A2. Follow 5 new people per month. If you follow too many from the start, it will be overwhelming. #BSD7chat

Q3 is up. Share your inspiration! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jan 18 @ 10:12 PM EST

Agreed. But I also think it takes some perseverance. Doesn't feel natural at first to many Ts. But so worth it! #BSD7chat

In reply to @LannySaretsky

mtkristigaines Jan 18 @ 10:12 PM EST

A2: pick a few people to follow at first: someone you admire from your district, someone whose tweets really catch your attention. #BSD7chat

ardaughty Jan 18 @ 10:13 PM EST

A2. You'll quickly get tired of following superstars so also follow people who have similar passions. #BSD7chat

Great advice! My first weeks were spent growing my PLN pretty regularly. I wanted a rich "stream" on my home page! #BSD7chat
