A Few OAGC Resources

Twitter Tips from @gtchatmod from #gtchat (adapted to #ohiogtchat)
- Be considerate of others during the chat. You are free to disagree, but be respectful and demonstrate politeness and courtesy for differing opinions.
- If you have research-based resources and/or book suggestions, please share them (as we can all benefit). Although most people won’t view them during the actual chat (simply goes by too quick), everyone appreciates reviewing the links in detail afterwards. Transcripts with live links following each #ohiogtchat.
- It may take a while to get accustomed to following the stream of #ohiogtchat tweets. Be patient with yourself and others. It can be fast-paced at times. Eventually, you’ll get the hang of it!
- Feel free to ask questions and/or share real-world experiences.
- If you want to direct a reply to someone, simply start off your tweet with that person’s @username
- Simultaneously, it’s a good idea to search for your own @username a few times throughout the chat to ensure you catch any responses directed to you. It’s easy to do this if you save a search for your own @username.
- If you agree with what someone posts, feel free to “Retweet” (RT) it.
- Be sure your Twitter profile settings are on public not private; otherwise, you won’t show up in the chat feed.
