543: Twitter Chat #Edmodochat

Tonight I participated in a Twitter chat from #edmodochat.  This was not the best chat that I have participated in.  All the other chats have been in Participate Learning, and they were very easy to use.  This one was not, so I had to follow everything using my Tweet deck.  This chat was short and more about what people want in an #edmodochat instead of actually discussing resources and tips for using Edmodo.  This was very disappointing, but hopefully the next one will be about a way to use Edmodo professionally.

Other members of the chat replied that it is a great place to connect with a PLN, they are interested in learning ways to support other teachers through professional growth, to collaborate with Edmodo friends, and finding good ideas.

Others added using pictures for visuals, using themes, good moderation, and quick flow of questions and answers.

Other responses included: using Edmodo for professional growth, using Edmodo for global projects, learn how others have used Edmodo along with other technology tools, and to learn about hard and soft skills that connect to global learning and multiple intelligences.

Other members replies that it annoys them when the questions don't go into depth, when people promote their own blogs, not having the questions ahead of time, and hashtag hijackers.  Then, someone mentioned using a slow chat to help everyone follow the conversation.  There were mixed feelings about the slow chat.  I, personally, am not a fan of the slow chat.  I get too distracted during the day and forget about it.  I prefer the fast chat and to discuss topics in one sitting.
