#edchat

I followed #edchat which is run by Jerry Blumengarten. The topic that was discussed was “What are elements of blogging and social media that would suggest that it is good educationally for admin, teachers, and students. I got on a little before noon and typed in the hashtag edchat and it just started blowing up. I was a little confused at first but then I went to to the #edchat top results and it weeded out some of the ones that didn’t make sense or have to do with the current topic. My favorite post regarding this topic was one made my NEAToday and they posted an incredible article talking about the pros and cons as schools lift bans on cellphones. I really liked this chat because it gave everyone a chance to tweet their own opinion but you could also interact with other tweets. It also shows everyone how there can be pros and cons to any of the topics brought up by Jerry.
