#BigBeacon Twitter chat – Mar 30 – Get Immersed in Education

On Wednesday, March 30 at 8:00 pm ET, please join Joe Tranquillo (@JoeTranquillo) who will be hosting #BigBeacon Twitter chat.

Many institutions offer intense immersive experiences, ranging from hack-a-thons and start-up challenges to boot camps and pop-up classes.

The stated goals may vary, but participating is often very high, students are extraordinarily engaged and the learning is lasting and impactful.

Here are some questions we will discuss:

• What educational needs are they fulfilling?
• What are some elements of great immersive experiences?
• What are some great examples of immersive experiences?
• How can we make them even more powerful learning experiences?

Whether you are a seasoned facilitator of these kinds of program, or just starting out, please join in on our exploration of immersive education.

How to Twitter Chat

If you’ve never Twitter chatted before, don’t worry; it’s very easy! First, get a Twitter account if you don’t already have one, and log in. At 8 PM ET on Wednesday go to twitter.com and type #BigBeacon into the search box on Twitter. Thereafter all the tweets with the hashtag #BigBeacon will show up on your Twitter page. To participate, simply express your opinion by sending a tweet, and be sure to append the hashtag #BigBeacon so other members of the Twitter Chat see you are posting. Alternatively, automate the hashtag search and append feature by using the free service Tchat at http://www.tchat.io.
