Let’s have a global and multilingual conversation on Twitter to discuss how your in-person, remote and hybrid teaching and learning practices have evolved and adapted to the new circumstances.
We look forward to welcoming you to a one-hour #TeamsEduChat TweetMeet on Tuesday, Feb 15 at 7am PST / 10am EST / 3pm GMT, on the topic of hybrid learning.
Discussion questions on hybrid learning
We’ll discuss five questions. Now is a good time to start preparing your answers:
- What factors contribute to the success of hybrid learning?
- How do pedagogical and assessment decisions influence hybrid learning?
- How do you make hybrid learning engaging, interactive, and inclusive?
- How can you promote the benefits of hybrid learning to parents, guardians, educators and leaders?
- Which one hybrid learning resource would you recommend to educators?
What are TweetMeets?
TweetMeets are monthly, global, and multilingual Twitter chats around a specific topic relevant for educators. TweetMeets occur every 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7am PST / 10am EST / 3pm GMT. TweetMeets are slow chats. This means that if these hours are less convenient for you, you can join the conversation at a later time that suits you best.
When and how can I join?
The main account to follow is @TweetMeet, where we publish tips, challenges, and promotion resources.
At event time, the @TweetMeet account and our hosts will start publishing the five discussion questions 10 minutes apart.
For more guidance, check the introductory Sway at TweetMeet Starter Guide.
