A look inside #satchat by co-founder Brad Currie

7:35 AM Tukiyooo 0

Every Saturday morning at 7:30 EST/PST educators from around the world share their thoughts, resources and experiences using the hashtag #satchat. This great social media vehicle was founded by <a href="https://twitter.com/scottrrocco">Scott Rocco</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/bcurrie5">Brad Currie</a> on April 14, 2012.  <img height="183px;" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/ZeCS3yFUS8oF2nzGdS0wDLiNApo4ZRmv01JKAT8_u6IXO0_2MNjCLtaM97UzZkSH3_UANkpqDXYHzZLyHg8q_uClusfIlkc7c83BhKDHkL8bMcYUQi7C" width="275px;" />  In its infancy #satchat averaged around 20-25 participants a week. Fast forward to the present and it has exploded to around 110 participants each week.  In fact recently #satchat hit the 200 participant mark for the first time in its history. The chat enables current and emerging school leaders to share their insight on topics ranging from social media, professional development, crisis management, vision, bullying, leadership and teacher recruitment. Recently #satchat has expanded its influence to the west coast where <a href="https://twitter.com/burgess_shelley">Shelly Burgess</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/dculberhouse">David Culberhouse</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/drjolly">Darin Jolly</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/DirectorAmy">Amy Illingworth</a> co-moderate the extended session. The power of #satchat is quite remarkable and is a true example of collaboration. Each and every week educators are able to share ideas and instantly turn them into something that can have a profound impact on a wide array of school stakeholders. The tools of #satchat enable participants to also see the value of certain web 2.0 tools in an educational setting. Twitter is the main tool of the chat and allows everyone to have a voice and collaborate 24/7. Leading up the chat various tools such as <a href="http://audioboo.fm/boos/953127-satchat-promo-8-15-12">Audioboo</a>, <a href="http://bufferapp.com/">Buffer</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/saturdaychat">Facebook</a> are used to promote and inform. Once the chat has finished, <a href="http://storify.com/bcurrie5/satchat-recap-east-coast-9-8-12?utm_campaign=&utm_content=storify-pingback&utm_medium=sfy.co-twitter&utm_source=t.co&awesm=sfy.co_h8Rh">Storify</a> is then used to archive the session and share with the Twitter world. School based utilization of these tools are many and allow stakeholders to be engaged in the educational process. On a personal level the world of Twitter and all it has to offer has been a game-changer in my professional life. Not only do I get a chance to co-host #satchat, but I also participate in other chats on a weekly basis. Some that come to mind are #ptchat, #edchat, #sschat, #njed #21stedchat and #edhire to name a few. Having access to outstanding minds in the educational world is also added benefit of Twitter and hashtag based conversations. Being able to connect with inspiring educators like <a href="https://twitter.com/NMHS_Principal">Eric Sheninger,</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coolcatteacher">Vicki Davis</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/ToddWhitaker">Todd Whitaker</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/principal_el">Principal El</a> and others, brings a sense of community like no other. I am very proud of all that #satchat has done for educators during this past year and is just one example of how educators go above and beyond their call of duty to better themselves professionally and in turn promote the success of all students.

Jerry Blumengarten has <a href="http://cybraryman.com/chats.html" target="_blank">a great list of Edchats</a> for you. I wanted to take you inside a chat that I enjoy that happens each Saturday. I asked one of the organizers, Brad Currie, to share with you a little about this chat and what it means to him and others.  There are MANY educational chats on Twitter that have a great history and stats. This isn't to leave you out. If you have a chat that you'd like to share, please email me at vicki at coolcateacher dot com and I'll see what I can do. If you're a spammer or out to sell something, don't waste your time. I prefer real educators who disclose all relationships.
