Well, the Twitter Chat Using Twittimer worked great for sending out the automatic tweets with the questions. I could not have asked for a better moderator!
Once again, I learned that with my classes; asynchronous communication is the best. Like some of my online orientation chats where I am alone in that chat room, I was the only one participating in my Twitter Chat. I didn’t mind because:
- I was going to answer my own questions anyway.
- I was testing out my first Twitter Chat.
- I was testing out my first Twitter Chat and using Twittimer to automate it.
- I am hoping others will join in “after the fact.” If so, please make sure to use #edu255fa17chat
I also feel that I timed it perfectly with the 5 minutes between questions for a small group. The 1/2 hour time frame was quite doable.
Will I try this again. You bet!
