As you know, I have the honor of moderating #engchat for English teachers, every Monday at 7 PM EST. Tonight’s #engchat would have gone more smoothly if Twitter had not failed right at the beginning of it. When many people, including me, could not follow the chat because of twitter issues, I quickly remembered using TodaysMeet for my classes and created a chat room for #engchat. Soon more people migrated there from Twitter and conversation continued. Eventually twitter issues were resolved and we went back to using it. Phew!

I guess the lesson here is always have a plan B and be able to think on your feet so to speak. I am glad users of #engchat did not give up and stayed around for the conversation. Sign of a committed group of people to learning and the community we are building via Twitter.

Thank you to all who participated tonight. See you next Monday at 7 PM EST! If you are interested in learning more about #engchat or checking out the archive, you can check our our wiki here.
