Hi Steph,
This is a great post! I did an endnote class through QUT at the hospital in my last year of undergrad and it has all fallen by the way side – i do not remember a single thing. This has been encouraging as i think not only for the experience of the class but has LIS student that this would be beneficial. I am on a Mac platform as well. Hopefully they will encourage this a bit more in the future.
Sam.Hey Caitlin,
Good luck for tonight! Just be prepared with your answers before and have a few responses so you can contribute to the topic in regards to that specific question. Yep, people do respond to your tweets but it moves so quickly and I’m so slow that I felt that by the time I responded, it had disappeared into the netherland of the twitter-sphere never to be seen again… The topic runs quite organically and other topics evolve from the specified topic. I found it a really good learning platform and it is great that you can go back and read it on storify. I had set up tweet deck for the previous chat and was completely overwhelmed with it. I was so worried about typing the hashtag and trying to contribute that I just ended up observing and watching how others participated. The ichat.io was great, it had the hashtag ready to go for every tweet you make and you can set the speed of the flow of the tweets – I only figured this out half way through the chat. You can set it to fast, medium (I used this one) and slow. All the best for tonight – I will be there ☺
Hey Leena,
I know, it was really interesting to see the diversity of the conversation of the twitter chat. I was not feeling confident with my speed to keep up with the conversations as they moved so quickly! But it was great to see something like RA bring out really interesting correlating and common views on specific topics such as gender and the projection of women in the literacy world. These are topics I am quite passionate about but I was just trying to keep the pace of the specifics I knew I had to keep up with through out the chat. It is fast format to follow but you actually learn quite a bit. I am now actually looking forward to the next one.
Hey Will,
You will be fine tonight’s twitter chat! Just be prepared. I made sure I had completed all of the weeks readings and had written out the questions and answers and had more than one answer prepared or points that correlated to the topic of the question. I was pretty nervous, it moves really quickly (I’m not going to lie) but as soon as Kate tweeted the question I felt prepared to answer confidently. I really enjoyed the topic RA so I think that helped with the experience aswell.
