Big Beacon uses weekly Twitter chats as a mechanism for sharing ideas and connecting individuals. Topics of Twitter chats vary week to week. Occasionally special guests participate in the Twitter chats giving participants the opportunity to connect with people that can offer support to help transform education.
Twitter chats are regularly held on Wednesday Evenings evenings and a twitter Twitter account is all that is needed to participate.
