Using Twitter for Professional Development

About:
Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) make use of social networks to allow users to personalize learning resources, create community around common professional interests, and even attain professional development goals. Over the past two years @AcAdvChat has used Twitter to create a community, bringing advising professionals together each week to share ideas, resources and dialogue around various advising topics. #AcAdv is more than a hashtag: it is a way to learn.
Join @peacox, @HowardSJ, @BilMorrill & @laurapasquini who will share more about the conversation & sharing of the @AcAdvChat community from 12-1 pm CDT TODAY! Here’s how & where to log in (psst – it fills up quick so get there at 11:30 am CDT sharp!):
The summer is fast approaching which means that this little @AcAdvChat bird will be soaking up some sun and fun on holidays.
The #AcAdv Chat will be taking a much deserved break until September. I know the summer brings a number of my advising friends a busy orientation season, summer projects, or even vacation own their own. Good luck & enjoy!
Join us for the LAST #AcAdv Chat before the summer break on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 from 12-1 pm CST. Cast your vote for next week’s chat POLL now!
Stay cool!
Time sure flies when you’re having fun. This has been a quite a busy semester for the @AcAdvChat Community.It’s been fantastic seeing many of you participate in the regular Tuesday chats, and also see the new joiners to the community who share beyond our weekly 60 minute discussion. Here are some of the latest & greatest stats from #AcAdv:
Summer is fast approaching, and so is orientation and/or vacation season. Since our advising schedules vary a bit more during this time of year, the #AcAdv Chat will be taking a break until September.
That being said – we still have 5 more weeks to chat, so let’s make May the…
See you on the Twitter stream, my friends!
Happy 2012 to all my #AcAdv Chat tweeps! What does the new year hold for you? Resolutions? Goals? Professional development? Or just exploring a new building on campus? Join us for the 1st chat of the year on Tuesday (1/17) as we talk about the voted topic: Professional Development Plans for Advisors.
Rather than looking at the New Year as a time to make resolutions, make this a time of year to challenge your typical Monday through Friday routine of advising appointments and meetings.Take your boss to coffee. Advise on a laptop out of doors. Shut your door and spend an hour reading the Chronicle of Higher Education (and perhaps some Cronk News…just so you keep your sources diverse, of course). However you add some professional spice to your week, just remember: Do something different from your usual #acadv routine!
To follow my own advice, the @AcAdvChat is branching out to ask ONE asynchronous question OR pose a discussion point each Friday with the hashtag #AcAdvFri. This will be posted for the #AcAdv Chat community to respond and share thoughts on Twitter, Facebook and (NEW) Google Plus. This discussion thread it to engage those in the #AcAdv community who might be busy advising to make the LIVE #AcAdv Chat. Stay tuned this week for the 1st #AcAdvFri thought/question.
Best wishes to you and yours during the festive season. I hope you enjoy the winter break, and we will be back to chat on Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Happy 2012!
So I am packing my bags for the 2011 NACADA Conference in Denver, CO and travelling to the Rocky Mountains this weekend. Thanks for all the great ideas shared in today’s #AcAdv Chat on Making the Most of Your Conference Experience! [If you missed it, check out the archive!]
The #AcAdv Chat is taking a break next week, and there will be NO #AcAdv CHAT on October 4th. I am really looking foward to meeting some of you. For other advisors who are not attending the conference, be sure to follow along with the #NACADA11 Social Media Team and backchannel hashtag #NACADA11.
For those of you who want to meet me IRL, I will be presenting Session #193 (listed below) and of course I will be attending the #NACADA11 & #AcAdv Chat Tweet Up on Monday, October 4, 2011 at 7 pm. Sign up here to let me know if you are coming: http://bit.ly/NACADA11TweetUp
#AcAdv Chat: The Online Advisor Learning Network
| Date: | October 04, 2011 Time: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm |
| Room: | 406/407 |
| Abstract: |
Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) make use of social networking websites and tools to allow users to personalize their learning resources, create community around common professional interests and areas of inquiry, and even attain professional development goals. Over the last year @AcAdvChat has evolved into a community and support system on the social web as the Advisor Learning Network. Through the use of emerging media, such as blogs, social networks and Twitter, advisors have been able to connect and converse with each other beyond formal training and development. The #AcAdv Chat brought advising professionals together each week to share ideas, resources and dialogue around various advising topics. #AcAdv is more than a hashtag – come find out what the chat is all about. Connect to #AcAdv Chat on the blog (http://acadvchat.posterous.com/) or on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/acadvchat). |
