Tips for an Ag Chat Session - Lessons from Texas A&M and The AET on Financial Literacy in SAEs
Use the following tips to make your session work.
#1. - Develop questions or areas you would like to cover, then break each one into smaller questions that cover the main point. Twitter sessions move fast and your space to respond is very limited. Breaking your ideas into smaller questions may help in developing shorter responses.
#2. - Be familiar with Twitter and Tweetdeck well before getting started. Tweetdeck is a great tool and essential for this session, so be sure to explore and even test before you actual session.
#3. - Dr. Foster has some great educational materials to get started, so be sure to also review these materials to get you prepared for the session.
#4. - Have references already open and prepared to use in links, which of course relate to your topics and questions. These materials of course need to be online to share, but also be prepared to use Google Shortener to have the URL address better formatted to link into Twitter.
#5. - Recruit and advertise to your contacts! The sessions are in the evening and everyone is so busy that getting a large audience will be hard. It sounds from previous experiences of others that connecting this session with a group or other meeting can help raise participation and value for the event.
So here are some ideas, see what you can do to have a great session and support the growth of agricultural education!
