Follow these tips for a smooth sailing
#TeachAgChat:
● Review http://teachagchat.blogspot.com/ as soon as you start planning as
there is LOTS of information that could be very helpful to begin preparation
for a great chat.
● Definitely recruit & “Agvocate”
to get people aware of the #TeachAgChat so that you can maximize the
information you are trying to get out. Invite participants early – send
personal emails to invite participants for the chat. Provide detailed information on the purpose
of the chat and role of the participants you are inviting. Some people may be unsure about your
expectations for them, and others may need some guidance on using Twitter.
● Participate in #TeachAgChat prior to
when you host as participating in one makes hosting one a tad bit easier with
understanding how it all runs.
● Prepare your tweetdeck prior to the
chat, so that you can see the #TeachAgChat tweets as they are coming in from
around the country.
● Scheduling tweets makes it very easy
so that your answers come right out after the questions without rushing to
complete them in time. Preparing the
answers prior to the chat makes it helpful to keep up with all the questions
and responses.
● Before the chat, prepare a shared
document, like google docs, with all host members’ planned tweets so that you
can share ideas, stimulate additional comments, and work around what others are
going to be saying during the chat.
● Try to retweet fellow participants
to further the knowledge and continue the legacy of #TeachAgChat. Connect with the other participants through
your answers and vice versa.
● Don’t forget to use the hashtag #TeachAgChat
(and remind others to include it) during the chat and in all responses/
tweets. Feel free to use other relevant
hashtags as the chat continues as well.
● Learn how to block a participant or
mute them as some participants may come in and provide inappropriate or
unrelated responses or questions to the chat.
● Search for free analytics after the
chat is completed using sources such as http://Keyhole.co and
www.hashtracking.com
