    In reply to @shyj
  • hartel30 Oct 28 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    I know it is common but still odd to me that ppl want to argue in 114 characters or less. #nt2t
  • stephwurking - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    A1: We go mad sometimes with the students' behavior, so Twitter is chicken feed compared to that. #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    Here is Q2...we hope you stay to answer! #NT2t
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:14 AM EDT

    In reply to @desifink
  • JeremyDBond Oct 28 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    A1) Step away. There are a million reasons it's not worth it. If it's someone you know in person, Twitter isn't the place to respond. #nt2t

  • jw_teach Oct 28 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    A1 Hi Iā€™m not on twitter to prove a point or win arguments, I am here to learn. Ignore them block if they get you down/ are offensive #nt2t
  • JayWigmore Oct 28 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    A2: A simple block and move on when you get spammed. #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    Yeah, I don't mind having my thinking challenged-it's how I learn & grow-but please be respectful to me. #NT2t
    In reply to @hartel30
  • MrsMurat Oct 28 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    #nt2t A2: block and report. That was an issue with the chat my Ss did on 10/20. We were trending #, so that started a convo abt reporting.
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:17 AM EDT
    A2: There was someone who was tweeting a LOT to our #NT2t stream. I asked them to stop b/c it felt like spam-they had no idea & stopped.
  • KristinaSDavid Oct 28 @ 9:17 AM EDT
    #Nt2t A2: In my opinion the best thing to do is block them.
  • JKatzaman Oct 28 @ 9:17 AM EDT
    A2 I never used to block people, but several chats have been swarmed by bots. I blocked them like I was swatting flies. #NT2t
  • hartel30 Oct 28 @ 9:17 AM EDT
    Absolutely. Different challenging ideas w respect vs angry mob of one that SM can hlp create #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:18 AM EDT
    Exactly Joe! I can disagree w/ u or u w/ me, but let's make it an opp to share our POV & lrn from each other-not make it a confrontatn #NT2t
    In reply to @jw_teach
  • JayWigmore Oct 28 @ 9:18 AM EDT
    This happens with both this account and my class account. If the account spamming is appropriate then it brings on a good discussion. #nt2t
  • desifink Oct 28 @ 9:18 AM EDT
    Great visual Jim! haha! I'm new to Twitter in general so I haven't had trouble with this, but am appreciating everyone's advice here! #NT2t
    In reply to @JKatzaman
  • lisa_freck19 Oct 28 @ 9:19 AM EDT
    A2 block them right away! I donā€™t want to deal with uneccessary things if I dont have to #Nt2t
  • MrsMurat Oct 28 @ 9:19 AM EDT
    That's such an important convo to have with both students and adults! #nt2t

    Really? You guys got spammed? That's awful and so disrespectful! #NT2t

  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:19 AM EDT
    Yeah, I think it comes back to #digcit I think a lot of issues come back to that. #NT2t
    In reply to @MrsMurat, @jw_teach
  • jw_teach Oct 28 @ 9:20 AM EDT
    Yes so true, I never claim to have the answers and will listen, turn off if things donā€™t sit right - ethics or just approach. #NT2t

    In reply to @shyj, @jw_teach

    They just use whatever's trending. So in that sense it's an honor. Too bad posting irrelevancies is intrusive and disrespectful. #nt2t

    Remember our generations didnā€™t have any online education, we are kind of doing the best we can. #NT2T

    It was only because we were #1 trending #. We did have a good conversation about it. #nt2t

    In reply to @MrsMurat
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:22 AM EDT
    Yeah, if they are truly being disrespectful or offensive I block & if needed report. In real life I would walk away & not interact #NT2t

    A3 show them that we care bout their opinion & we wont judge them. Twitter is open & free #Nt2t
  • JeremyDBond Oct 28 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    Ugh. Luckily the people I follow with 280 are worth following in the first place, and they're putting their higher limit to good use. #nt2t
    In reply to @JayWigmore, @hartel30
  • jw_teach Oct 28 @ 9:24 AM EDT
    A3 take the time to have a look at your followers tweets (not just those popping up on your timeline) & retweet. #NT2t
  • MrsMurat Oct 28 @ 9:24 AM EDT
    The chat itself was such a great experience that they are still talking about it!! 5 continents and over 1000 tweets! #nt2t
    In reply to @JeremyDBond

    A3: Continue to model the power of the connections that you can make as a T, and with your Sā€™s. #nt2t

    Thatā€™s really impressive #nt2t
    In reply to @MrsMurat, @JeremyDBond
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:25 AM EDT
    A3: During our #NT2t chat I try to encourage everyone to at least say hi. This is a safe way to interact while u get more comfortable.
  • hartel30 Oct 28 @ 9:25 AM EDT
    A3: Invite them to chats like #nt2t etc and let them get comfortable w ideas shared
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 28 @ 9:25 AM EDT
    It is interesting b/c we don't all have the same definition of what is spam-may be a cultural difference so dig in to find the truth #NT2t
    In reply to @desifink, @JKatzaman
  • JayWigmore Oct 28 @ 9:25 AM EDT
    Yes, the ppl that have the 280 char are doing some great things with it. Iā€™m skeptical that once everyone gets it that will continue. #NT2t

    We all need to learn a thing or two!! It's important, for me, that I'm modeling being a life long engaged learner. #nt2t

    A3: We also need to remember that ā€˜lurkingā€™ is a great first step on Twitter. People will add to the convo when they are comfortable #nt2t
