EDU221TwitterChatPLN

Becca Redman is one of the cohosts for the spring 2016 #edchatme; she has put together a [|promo for last semester's event and lists the questions that will direct the conversation](the promo for this semester's event was asking for questions but I haven't seen/heard that they've settled on questions yet).

What's Twitter? who uses it? >>>> (the double arrows in a circle)
 * Twitter's popularity continues to increase
 * [|2014 Pew Report]
 * [|eBusiness MBA Guide]
 * [|Twitter has many uses in schools]
 * a good Twitter Chat for EDucators in MainE is [|#EdChatME]
 * educational blogger Janet Fouts provides a good[| resource for how to prepare for and participate in a Twitter chat]
 * sign up for a [|Twitter] account (if you're not comfortable with this, let Dr. Theresa know now)
 * let's do a short Twitter chat in class with the hashtag #umfedu221
 * Introduce yourself by putting the hashtag #umfedu221 in the tweet window and typing who you are...then we'll all know your Twitter Handle. You don't have to use your last name.
 * Q1 What was one of your favorite parts about #MooseTech?
 * Put A1 at the front of your response and the hashtag #umfedu221 somewhere in the response
 * If you want folks involved in MooseTech to see it, put a hashtag of #MooseTech
 * But don't use @MooseTech -- that is Barbara Moose, an educational technologist with the last name of Moose who lives in North Carolina
 * Don't worry about capitalization on hashtags
 * Feel free to tweet more than one tweet in response to this question
 * Q2 If you could do it again, what would you do differently to prepare for #MooseTech
 * Put A2 at the front of your response and the hashtag #umfedu221
 * Try taking it a step further:
 * Re-tweet anyone's response so far (favorite part or what they'd do differently) if they said something you liked or agreed with
 * "Like" someone's tweet by clicking the heart
 * "Reply" to someone's tweet by clicking the first single arrow (think of it like a comment)...Twitter will automatically set up a Tweet with the person's Twitter handle at the beginning of the tweet
 * EdChats often have more than 2 questions, or a slow EdChat has one question a night for several nights. We'll stop at 2. Just wanted you to get the idea.
 * Go to your homepage on Twitter and take a screenshot of your Tweets from today. This is your self-reflection on MooseTech. Put it in your folder of reflections
