#edmodochat Archive
Twitter Chats are a great way for you and other educators to collaborate, generate new ideas, and discuss various Edmodo-topics. During Twitter Chats, moderators lead a conversation on Twitter about a specific topic using a pre-determined #hashtag on every tweet, and participants can join in the conversation by responding with that #hashtag.
The amazing Edmodo Support Ambassadors organize a Twitter Chat every first and third Sunday of the month at 8pm Eastern using the hashtag #edmodochat.

Hi you! So glad you are here
. A2 teachups are like an anti PD in the sense they are all about teachers and what we need -not what we are told we need.
A2 were informal, collaborative gatherings of experts providing support to learners. Most importantly FUN!
Super agreed. I liken them to PD
A3 - Growing your PLN is an excellent way to learn/teach!!
A3: PLC helps me to learn and share. This directly effects Ss learning when Ts are a community not a closed room
YES!!!!! We KNOW what we need! https://t.co/cX8xw2W2dr

Global is the way to be!!!
A3 It is important as long as it empowers , inspires or broadens members' scope of actions.
A3. Share and collaborate-- weareallinthistogether
A3: You have a nugget of an idea, you share and it gets bigger. Your PLN adds, and before long what seemed farfetched is reality

A5 lo0ved hosting bcs I knew my colleagues. How do I know what others are doing?
A5: Admin support for tech growth would be so helpful. It's hard to work alone in a building but have the world to share with Ts

Especially on a Friday - as long as it is early enough to beat traffic!
A6 Obstacles can be Ts who have not tried twitter for PLN or feel they don't have time to connect w/others
A6: Time! I'm teaching 6 out of 7 classes this yr - PreAP & AP Bio
A5 also knowing my audiecne for hosting, what needs are out there?
A6: Like any drastic change, it requires patience. Again, dispelling what integration is and what it NOT. Thinking is critical
Oh, yeah - a time-turner would be a great accessory!

If they only knew the possibilities are ENDLESS. I know time is precious, but love my Edmodo PLN! I make time!
