Twitter Visual Story by Meghan Carraher https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex Here is my experience with Twitter Education Chats! en-us 2021-10-27 23:00:23 UTC 2023-05-08 15:06:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Twitter Chat 1 #pblchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849616541 The first live chat that I was able to find was #pblchat all about project based learning and the topic was called The Power of Critical Friends. To be honest, I had no idea what to expect going in to this chat. It started out with the moderator asking who was here and I retweeted it. ]]> 2021-10-27 23:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849616541 #pblchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849618406 This was the first question that the moderator asked]]> 2021-10-27 23:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849618406 #pblchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849621787 I wasn't really sure what a critical friend was. After reading some responses, this is what I learned. This is also the 2nd question and my response. At this point I did not know that you could retweet something and add on to it.]]> 2021-10-27 23:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849621787 #pblchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849625249 Many of the people in the chat considered their colleages, administrators and students part of their critical friend group.
 
Then we talked about ways we can get feedback from those people in our CF group. I liked this tweet because it shows that there are so many ways we can give/receive feedback. I have implemented forms and shared docs with my students in the past.

We are all part of each other’s critical friend group and will be communicating with our group members through a platform of our choosing to work through our last two projects of the semester.]]> 2021-10-27 23:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849629622 Twitter Chat #2 #3rdchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849874760 These moderators had a fun ice breaker and asked us if we liked coffee or tea better and then asked us how often we use small groups in our classroom]]> 2021-10-28 01:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849874760 #3rdchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849881938 These moderators were more interactive than the first chat that I participated in and responded to my answer to the first question. 

The second question was all about small group organization. Most people said that for reading they use some sort of diagnostic assessment and then group students by level]]> 2021-10-28 01:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849881938 #3rdchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849887005 2021-10-28 01:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849887005 #3rdchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849889446 after that we talked about different resources to use with small groups.]]> 2021-10-28 01:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849889446 #3rdchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849918577 Here was another interaction that I had with the moderator and my response to how I hold students accountable for small group work]]> 2021-10-28 01:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849918577 #3rdchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849925413 q&a portion at the end]]> 2021-10-28 01:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849925413 #3rdchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849930506 different suggestions for small group activities]]> 2021-10-28 01:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849930506 #3rdchat meghancarraher1 https://padlet.com/meghancarraher1/epko8znbf70yt5ex/wish/1849931955 One teacher has her students complete a checklist for their independent work for the week while she is pulling small groups.
