Twitter chats take some getting use to. Rather than a linear conversation with one person speaking at a time, picture them as one large gathering with many conversations flowing simultaneously.  Be prepared to “miss things” and be willing to move in between various conversations, even at the same time. 

If you are new to Twitter Chats, give yourself the permission to lurk and get the hang of the chat. Even reading the posts will add to your personal learning around the topic. Feel free to lurk for awhile, but set a goal to jump in and add your thoughts. Your thoughts matter!
