#edchatHI is about to go down in about an hour and the topic for tonight is PD That Works.  Participating in twitter chats is one form of PD that works for me so while today is not Tuesday, this Tuesday Tech Tidbit is really encouragement to try participating in a twitter chat.

How does one participate?  It quite easy actually.  Twitter chats use a hashtag so all you have to do is follow that hashtag.  How does that work?  You could just go on twitter and search #edchatHI but there are a couple of tools that make it easy to participate.  TweetDeck and twitterfall are great for watching the stream of tweets.  Tweetchat is awesome for engaging because you don’t have to add the hashtag into your tweet which saves time.

I’m going to try to make it home to participate in #edchatHI tonight at 6:00 PM Hawaii time so stay tuned for more information on how to use the tools mentioned above.  If you missed #edchatHI, you can always check out their website for a record of the chat.

But in honor of TUESDAY, check out #GAFEchat every first and third Tuesday!  4:00 PM Hawaii time!
