If you've never participated in a Twitter chat before, that’s OK - we've never hosted one before, so we will all be learning together! All you need is a Twitter account (it’s free) and internet access during the scheduled time.
A Twitter chat is an online conversation using Tweets on a specific subject. Anyone on Twitter can join in; so it is a great opportunity to network and meet others in the field who are interested in the same topic. It is structured as a set of questions that you reply to or comment on; the questions are posted as the chat happens by the chat moderators (more on them below). You need to know our hashtag - #uochat. Search that hashtag to find the chat. And make sure to add that hashtag to all of your tweets so others can follow and respond to your thoughts.
The first chat you join can be a little overwhelming if there are a lot of participants. Don’t worry about reading every Tweet. Choose some that are the most interesting to you and connect with those people or delve into more depth on a certain area of the topic. The chat moderators are also there to guide the conversation and help everyone participate. This first chat will be moderated by me (@deannajager) and Penny (@TheNerdyPenny). If you have any questions feel free to talk to us in advance or reach out to us on Twitter during the chat. This chat is part of the bigger community of practice we are cultivating through the UO Conference (@uoconference); we look forward to learning with you.
