Educational Chats on Twitter
One of the wonderful things about Twitter is the way it
brings people from all over the world together to share ideas, collaborate
and work to made education better. On this page I have included some
of the educational chats that I have stumbled upon and/or participated in or
will join. Please note that at times they will not be held on that day
due to holidays or other reasons. If you know of any other educational
chats please let me know so that I can include them with the appropriate
hashtag.
I am responsible for the art work so please do not laugh too
loud!

#BlackEd chat
9:00 pm
EST
#BlackEd
is an alliance of advocates of quality Black education. Through the use of
social media, the network earnestly covers topics and boldly confronts issues,
including those that are often uncomfortable and customarily glossed over, that
relate to the Black academic experience. #BlackEd is a tool used for
strengthening the Black community, in addition to being a critical step in the
work of social justice through education. #BlackEd takes place on Twitter every
Thursday at 9pm EST. Look for the tag #BlackEd to join in on what Dr. Venus
Evans-Winters, the brains behind the tag, promises will be not only honest,
diverse and critical dialogues but also a thought-provoking and solution
oriented process.
#ukedchat
8:00-9:00 pm UK Time (If I made the correct conversion it is 4 pm EST) See
Converters below.
#ukedchat Wiki
The idea of ukedchat is a more uk-educator friendly version of the very
popular twitter discussion #edchat, that takes place on a Tuesday. The problem
for UK educators is the timing of edchat, being early evening, or at midnight,
which does not suit a lot of educators. Therefore, following discussion with
between some twitter colleagues, a UK / European friendly edchat was mentioned
at timings more suitable and convenient for people involved with UK or European
education (inside or outside the UK). The ukedchat is not trying to take over
the good work of edchat, it is meant to further compliment the discussion at a
time which is convenient to UK and European based educators. Needless to say,
educators around the world are also invited and welcome to join in the
discussion.
