I participated in my first chat tonight. I was supposed to be participating in my second, but my first chat was a no show. I was stood up! So, tonight I checked the calendar and participated in #edchat. OH MY GOSH I have no idea how people keep up with them! It was moving so fast, and I was moving so slow! I would reply to something and I would miss out on 10 comments!
I did like the topic however. It was about online learning. There were so many different opinions on the subject. Personally I have taken F2F (face to face), hybrid and online only, and I can say without a doubt that I enjoy hybrid the best. Online learning is great for time saving (although I feel like I spend way more time online than in a class) but I truly enjoy spending time with the instructor and the other students. Anyway....the chat was amazing. My brain certainly didn't move as fast as I would have liked though!
Tonight I participated in my second chat. I thought it would be perfect for me since it was titled, New Teachers to Twitter Chat! I think it was calling my name :) (#nt2t) Unfortunately, I must be one of the only new teachers to be in a Twitter chat, because it was SO slow! It would go ten minutes without anyone chatting. It was the direct opposite of my last chat. Apparently #edchat is either way more popular, or there are no new teachers learning to tweet!
So which one was my favorite? I feel like Goldilocks and the Three Bears; my chats were like her porridge. One chat was too fast, one was too slow, all I want a chat that is just right!

Michelle,
I got stood up too and was totally bummed! I had planned it a few days in advance (which never happens because I tend to procrastinate). It was about web 2.0 tools. Instead, I ended up in a Class Dojo chat.
Michelle,
Use TweetChat when you participate in a Twitter chat. It has a pause button :-)
