I don't miss this date if I can help it, as the topic is always one on top of a lot of educator's lists of what's hot right now. It is so good to get the feelings and experiences of educators across the sectors. It's definitely "turbo tweeting"; trying to keep up with the different conversations is nigh impossible and it's a necessity to find the time to go back and read what else has been going on.
The last #edchatnz was on BYOD. It was a rip-roarer and I got so much out of the conversation stream I was on. made me feel that it was definitely different strokes for different folks. We also looked at how best to bring our less confident teachers on board. A great sharing of ideas!
Thanks to Anne Robertson who talked about the power of this chat in her blog post :
"The overwhelming theme that came through for me was the emphasis and focus on LEARNING. We are all starting to get the message that PEDAGOGY has to drive the tools we use and not the other way round."
Anne used tagsexplorer to map the way the conversations moved; I had to laugh! I really get into it!

Thanks too to @MissDSciTeacher - Danielle Myburgh - who started this chat time going. It's become a feature of the NZ PLN.
Here's my Storify - I still need to go back and mull over the ideas.
