An Analysis of# TECHtalkGA: A weekly Twitter chat for Educators in Georgia

Abstract

Twitter, a social media platform, has been embraced by educators as a way to form professional learning networks (PLN) to support student success (Coleman et al., 2018). Twitter offers just-in-time access to professional development, and the ability to share information and resources with colleagues all around the world (Carpenter & Krutka, 2014). State-level Twitter chats organized with labels called hashtags are thriving (Rosenberg et al, 2016) and are promising venues for educators’ professional growth and educational research.
