Follow-up to Live Twitter Chat on March 12, 2015
This is a short post to follow-up on the second live #MacroSW chat that Jimmy Young and I hosted on March 12, 2015 about the documentary Inequality for All. Once again, we had a great turnout and an inspired conversation. Others have written more about this chat, so I am going to direct you to their posts:
1. Chat Statistics: The #MacroSW Chat folks reported that there were almost 100 people on the chat who shared 640 posts in one hour. Here is a link to more analytics about the chat.
2. Chat Transcript: Here is a link to the chat transcript in Storify, a web-based program marketed as a story-telling software. It also is a great tool for summarizing tweets from live chats and other types of conversations on Twitter.
3. Chat Summary: Jimmy Young wrote a solid summary of the chat from the perspective of a social work educator. Like Jimmy, I find live Twitter chats a compelling learning tool for bachelor-level social work students. During the chats, I see students engaging in public discourse on vital policy issues with their peers and other professionals, not just in the classroom. They are actively connecting with others, sharing and thinking critically about poverty issues when participating in a live chat. Look for more information near future from Jimmy and I about using live Twitter chats in the social work classroom.
Again, many thanks to #MacroSW chat and our host from @MSWatUSC, Kristin Battista-Frazee (@porndaughter). They sponsored, promoted and summarized the chat, and are all around great people! Also, a big thanks to all the students, educators and practitioners who showed up and participated in our national conversation – including social work students and educators from University of Buffalo, University of Tennessee, University of Nebraska at Kearney University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Jacksonville State University to name a few.
