What is a Tweetchat?
A Tweetchat is a virtual meeting or gathering on Twitter to discuss a common topic. The chat usually lasts one hour and will include some questions to stimulate discussion. Questions will be preceded with Q1, Q2, Q3 etc
For example: Q1 What apps or services do you use to connect? #BYOD4Lchat
Where will I find the Tweetchat?
Create an account on Twitter and then use the search facility to find #BYOD4Lchat Depending on your Twitter tool you may be able to save this.
How do I take part?
If you wish to respond to a question include the hashtag #BYOD4Lchat within your tweet and precede your tweet with A1, A2, A3 etc.
For example: A1 I have made new professional connections through using LinkedIn #BYOD4Lchat
Do I have to tweet to take part?
No you don’t though your contributions will be valued! By following the hashtag #BYOD4Lchat you can simply read the questions raised and answers by those who respond.
If I can’t make the time slot can I follow the Tweetchat later?
Yes you can view the discussion by searching for #BYOD4Lchat or reading the Storify at https://storify.com/BYOD4L
Will there be a summary of the session made available afterwards?
Yes – we will use Storify to summarise the conversations that each question gives rise to, and post the results back to #BYOD4Lchat
