Announcing the January 21 TweetMeet<\/h3>\n

Laptops, computers and other technical equipment are common assets in modern classrooms. It makes you wonder: how do all these devices help our students succeed? What selection criteria, preparatory steps, professional training and other factors should be taken into consideration for a successful implementation, and what tips, tools and resources can be helpful?<\/p>\n

With all this in mind, we welcome you to a 75-minute TweetMeet on Tuesday, January 21 at 10am PST.<\/p>\n

Brand-new hashtag #TweetMeetEN<\/h3>\n

Every month, we welcome more and more educators to our events, obviously resulting in large volumes of tweets. Many of you tweet in your preferred language and are already using #TweetMeetXX. It\u2019s now time to also invite all English-speaking TweetMeet participants to start adding hashtag #TweetMeetEN to your tweets. This will help to filter the large volume and will make it easier to find tweets back in your preferred languages.<\/p>\n

Looking back on the December MSFTEduChat on Best of 2019<\/h3>\n

For last month\u2019s special-edition TweetMeet we invited all #MSFTEduChat hosts from past years to come back another time, to commemorate and celebrate all the wonderful experiences of the past year with you. The TweetMeet was a tremendous success, with many hundreds of participants and thousands of tweets, as you can see in the Thank You animated GIF below.<\/p>\n

We captured highlights for this TweetMeet event in a new @MicrosoftEDU Twitter Moment<\/a>. There\u2019s even a comprehensive archive collection of all tweets from this event in this Wakelet Collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n
