I honey learning! About iii years agone I was introduced to Twitter too its ability equally a professional person evolution tool. I wrote this post about that time. It volition acquire yous started on Twitter if yous are non on at that topographic point yet. It also highlights the ability of Twitter inwards education. If yous are living inwards PRC yous volition require a VPN to access Twitter unless your schoolhouse has an cyberspace describe of piece of work to Hong Kong similar this one.

#pypchat is a i hr give-and-take that is hosted every 2 weeks inwards dissimilar regions around the world. The Asia Pacific chat currently meets on Th evenings from 6:30 to 7:30pm Hong Kong time.

TweetDeck from @brianlalor

How it works:

At 6:30pm a moderator volition get-go the outcome too enquire everybody ''out there'' inwards cyberspace to innovate themselves. You must move next the #pypchat hash tag at this fourth dimension inwards lodge to consider the tweet or accept your TweetDeck laid up. I would suggest this to move done good inwards advance. The moderator volition too hence get posting questions inwards lodge to get discussion. An example would be: ''Q1. How create students at your schoolhouse accept input into the evolution of UOIs? #pypchat'' 

When answering a enquiry it helps others next the conversation if yous signal which enquiry yous are answering. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 possible reply to the higher upwards enquiry would be, ''A1. Students, parents & teachers are invited to the PYPC's purpose to supply input #pypchat.'' Always recollect to add together the hash tag or nobody volition consider your answers, unless they are your followers.

#pypchat is real fast paced too at that topographic point are oft multiple conversations happening at the same time. It has been for me the best root of data on the PYP. Truly the to a greater extent than yous hand the to a greater extent than yous get. We are all at dissimilar stages inwards our journeying equally enquiry teachers, but nosotros all accept something nosotros tin larn from i another. I promise this helps yous acquire started.
