Twitter Chats

Twitter chats are the ultimate way to make connections with others on twitter. Twitter chats revolve around a specific focus, such as a subject area, or a topic.

"In short a Tweetchat or Twitter chat is a scheduled, organized topical conversation on Twitter centralized around a specific hashtag. It’s best to think of a MeetUp or panel discussion around a specific topic. Now bring that conversation into the digital world of Twitter, a platform designed for high engagement through bite-sized content in the form of tweetings containing 280 characters or less. Put them together and presto — you have a Twitter chat!"

The format for twitter chat questions is:

A___ (the number of the question): followed by the twitter chat #

Ex: A3: In my classroom we focus on positivity by starting the day with a high five and a handshake. #weTeachuN
