Twitter is described by Wikipedia as "an online social networking service that enables users to send and read short 140-character messages called "tweets". Registered users can read and post tweets, but unregistered users can only read them. "
This week I discovered another side of Twitter, Twitter Chats! I was struggling to understand how they worked at first until I found this tutorial by @coolcatteacher.
I found a list of some planned educational chats on cybrarymans page. I found some really cool chats about education and ideas to integrate technology into the classroom. Basically you search the assigned hashtag for the chat for example #edchat , and you can see all that is being discussed and talked about.You can retweet things you want to remember or favorite things you agree with. Chats are also a good way to build your network. Other people who are interested in the same things as you will be participating in the chat. You can chose to follow them and some may even follow you back!
