One of you (@cathleennardi) suggested that we do a Tweetchat in this course, and I think this is an excellent idea.

First question? What's a tweetchat? It's a live synchronous conversation that happens on Twitter using a hashtag. Anyone who wants to participate just searches for the hashtag and includes it in the tweet when they have something to say. Here are some regular tweetchats that happen regularly:

#lrnchat - about instructional design, training, and eLearning

#edchat - about education

#blogchat - about blogging

#futrchat - futurists get together to chat about selected topics

So let's plan to have a tweetchat from 6pm-7pm US MST on Saturday, March 9 (to see this in various time zones, click here).

There is also an web app called TweetChat that you an use to monitor the conversation (since it will move very fast).

The format for a tweetchat is usually that some kind of moderator (me, in this case) asks questions and the group answers them and converses about them. We've had two weeks of class now, so why don't you propose some questions on this thread, and I'll pick a few for our Saturday Tweetchat.
