I was recently approached by Julie Szaj about expanding #NT2t. Julie, for those of you who don't know her, is a firm believer that “we are all better together”, a sentiment which I echo. Julie is what I would class as a truly “globally connected” educator, she is also the host of #NT2t (New To Twitter chat) - an edchat session designed for teachers that are new to twitter. Supported by a plethora of experienced educators, #NT2t aims to help new tweachers (Tweeting Teachers) to navigate the twitter-universe by recommending who to follow and how to tweet. #NT2t is also a great place for sharing best practice and exploring how to integrate technology to enhance teaching and learning.
On Tuesday 25th August, a team of educators including myself (@clcsimon), Julie Szaj (@shyj), and David Pollard (@edchatirl) will be launching #NT2tEU (Similar to #NT2t but timed more convenient for EU based educators). Each week, a team of experienced educators, including a variety of influential guest hosts, will discuss topics such as how to get the most out of twitter and how to expand your PLN (Personal Learning Network). The topic for this inaugural chat is "What’s the benefit of Twitter for teachers and how do you begin?". You can preview the questions below: Proposed questions (TBC): Q1. How does Twitter facilitate and enhance networking between educators? Q2. How do you find other educators on Twitter? Who are your recommendations? Q3. What advice do you have about what you should tweet? Q4. What is a hashtag and how do you use them? Q5. What education hashtags or Twitter chats do you recommend? Join us for #NT2tEU every Tuesday 9pm BST / 10pm CET / 3pm CET. Comments are closed.
