Twitter Chat

This week I participated in a Twitter Chat with #edchat on creativity and literacy. The conversation turned more into a debate about creativity than literacy. There was a lot of talk about can creativity be taught and how do you assess it. There were some good conversations and some thoughtful tweets. Some of the participants posed some really good questions and ideas, which sparked some great conversations. The content was interesting because creativity is something that we want to encourage our students to use.  My favorite tweet was “@barbarawmadden Creativity is subjective as well. Consider Picasso. His mother probably wondered what would become of him.”

There were a lot of participants in the chat, and the conversation was hard to keep up with at times. Most people seemed very passionate about the topic and contributed a lot to the conversation. I did not follow anyone from the Twitter chat, but I noticed some of the people in the chat started following me.

 

I am glad that I followed a chat a couple of weeks ago so that I was familiar with how the chat was going to be. It was a little bit challenging because I participated in the chat through my phone, but I’m glad a that I participated. I also kept forgetting to add the # when I commented on tweets. I think the more chats I participate in the easier it will be to follow and participate.
