First ever APRA-Canada Twitter talk: Wednesday, March 14 from Noon to 1pm EST.
APRA-Canada is spreading its wings and going social with its first ever twitter talk. Join the conversation on March 14 by following the hashtag #apractalk and engage with fellow APRA-Canada members as we tweet about pre-selected topics of interest. If you are really new to Twitter, feel free to just listen and flutter in with a comment when you are comfortable.
A twitter talk is simply an opportunity to get together virtually and talk shop using Twitter as the communication tool. It allows you to remain in the comfort of your cubicle while still engaging with other researchers across the country in real time. APRA-Canada will come up with a set of five questions in advance which will provide participants some direction and structure to the conversation.
Not sure the mechanics? Here are the step by step instructions:
1. If you haven't done so yet, be sure to follow @ApraCanada. Consider also following #apractalk ambassadors @erejman, @preeti_things and @jalinkletter who will be posting updates on the talk.
2. On Wednesday, March 14 at noon, login into your twitter account and look for messages with the hashtag #apractalk. Or, you can go to http://tweetchat.com/ and login to this free service with your twitter account. By using Tweetchat.com, you will be able to filter your twitter feed so that it only includes the hashtag #apractalk. This free service also automatically adds the hashtag #apractalk to your tweets.
3. In the first few minutes of the talk, introduce yourself (including the hashtag #apractalk in your tweet, so we know you are participating in the conversation).
4. After that, swoop in the conversation with a tweet or two! @erejman (aka Liz Rejman) will be moderating the talk to so that we are all "flying in formation".
Questions? Tweet them to @apracanada or @erejman, or connect with Liz Rejman via email at erejman@lhsc.on.ca
