Catholic Educators Meet on Twitter Each Saturday Morning

twitter bird

Twitter LogoOn Saturday morning, November 3, 2012, Catholic educators from around the globe gathered on Twitter for the first ever Catholic Ed Chat. Participants included administrators, diocesan officials, and teachers from all curricular areas and grade levels, from places as diverse as Los Angeles, Omaha, Spokane, Virginia Beach, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, Baltimore — even Sydney, Australia!

The plan was for these chats to take place monthly, but the energy, enthusiasm, and excitement was so contagious, that the chats are now planned for every Saturday morning at 9:00am Eastern.

Don’t worry if you missed the first one; Nancy Caramanico (@ncara) has posted a transcript of the conversation at Storify: #CatholicEdChat transcript.

To participate, simply search for the Twitter hashtag #CatholicEdChat. An even easier way to follow the conversation is to use the website TweetChat.

Whether you just want to lurk and observe the conversation, or whether you’re dying to share your story, CatholicEdChat is a great way to connect with other Catholic teachers.

Hope to see you at #CatholicEdChat next Saturday!

Fr. Roderick Vonhögen of SQPN fame has published a very comprehensive list of Catholics on Twitter. He’s divided the list into several categories:

  • Popes, bishops and dioceses
  • Priests
  • Deacons
  • Seminarians
  • Religious
  • Catholic Media Personalities
  • Podcasters
  • Catholic bands
  • Other Catholics
  • Resources
  • Organizations
  • Commercial

I’d love to help him add to his list by giving him links to all the Catholic teachers on Twitter. If you’re a Catholic teacher and you Tweet, leave a comment below with your Twitter name and I’ll send the list to Fr. Roderick.

You can find me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/nsenger. If you’re not on Twitter, and you don’t know what all the fuss is about, check out the video at the end of this article.

P.S. I was a bit chagrined to find that Fr. Roderick and I are using the same WordPress theme, but what can I say, I guess great minds think alike!
