I really enjoyed participating in an educational Twitter chat it was a great experience. At first I was a little overwhelmed because it was hard to keep up with all the new tweets coming in. But then I realized that it wasn’t an entire conversation flowing that quickly but certain individuals responding to each others tweets. This eased my mind considerably so I chose an individual who had said something I found interesting and agreed with, and tweeted back to them.
I was anxiously awaiting a response but I didn’t get one for whatever reason. So I started to respond to other people’s tweets in hopes that someone would strike up a conversation with me, no such luck. However, twitter chats are interesting to watching to say the least. I participated in #edchat, and the focus was mainly on student and teachers and their relationship with technology. I was kind of disappointed when no one responded back to me because I actually felt I had material to contribute that would have enhanced the conversation. Regardless it was a great experience!

Love the title/graphic, Toni. So sorry to hear that nobody took advantage of what you had to offer. #edchat can be really hectic, I’ve found, though, as you say, the conversations are always interesting. I’ve found that filtering out the important “talkers/tweeters” can be helpful. @shellterrell is the founder of #edchat, and always a good one to follow. http://edudemic.com/2011/01/keeping-up-with-edchat/ is also a good resource.
