*** Please note, that this website is now an ARCHIVE of #edchatIE transcripts *** 

Welcome to the #edchatIE wiki.

This is a space that was built to house the transcripts of the weekly online chats (every Monday night 8.30 - 9.30pm) of Irish educators as they discuss all things education. I say educators because the weekly chats involve primary and post primary teachers and third level (college & university) lecturers too. Check out the sidebar on the right for the latest #edchatIE Tweets and links to other pages on this wiki too. 

Video: Using Technology in Schools

Take a look at this video, made by the educators who contribute to the #edchatIE discussion to learn about students and teachers in Irish schools using technology. Many thanks to all the teachers and schools involved, including the originator of this video @catherinecronin and @glynnmark for his editing skills.

The #edchatIE discussions take place online, using Twitter as the medium.

Here's some information that might be of use to help you get the most from and also contribute to #edchatIE

First off, here's the general way #edchatIE operates:

1. A poll is set up to look for input from all on topics for discussion.

2. Once that poll has closed the topics are set and then put up for a vote.

3. The topic that gets the most votes will become the topic for the edchat on the chosen night.

All of the above are tagged in Tweets using the #edchatIE hashtag. Follow it to get involved! 

How the Monday night #edchatIE runs:

1. From 8.30pm - 9.30pm #edchatIE opens with introductions from all and then the topic with the most votes is discussed.

2. Always include the hashtag #edchatIE in all of your tweets. They are all collated after the chat and compiled into a summary transcript of the discussion.
