cwelton on 26 Jul 18I've also used my school's platform "discussion board" as if it were a twitter chat feed--some students got really into it, and I think I could implement some of these suggestions to make it more universally engaging

-
assist students in moving back and forth between their own words and technical or course-specific terms. And help highlight particular content with the use of sentence starters.

Do you feel the chat’s objective was reached? What was the most useful part of the chat? How might we improve the chat?

Thanks for sharing, Carmen-- I am also considering students who do not have Twitter, or parent concerns, and I wonder if small group work might be a solution- Using the twitter account of one student, another student or group of students help to compose responses, stay hidden from their online contributions.

Especially middle/high school parents/students may feel more comfortable using a platform provided by the district. I am also planning to use the discussion board in the district's platform. I can definitely use the tips in this article.
