This was my first time participating in a professional twitter chat and let me tell you it was a lot harder than I expected. First of all, it was an amazing experience to be able to part take in a live video feed with author Angie Thomas thanks to NCTE. In the beginning I was excited to share what I was hearing through tweeting and using #NCTElearns to connect with other people and see what they were tweeting. About 15 minutes in I realized it was extremely hard to focus on what Angie Thomas was saying while also tweeting about it at the same time. So after a few tweets I decided I would just pay attention to her speaking rather than worry about tweeting. After the video chat was over I was able to just click on the hashtag to see what other people were getting from the video chat. All in all it was a great experience and even greater one that Angie Thomas was a part of it.
