#engchat


#engchat occurs every Monday at 7 PM EST. Follow @mrami2 on Twitter to see weekly topics!

 What is #engchat?
#engchat is a network of English teachers connecting with one and another via Twitter to share ideas, resources and inspiration related to the practice of teaching English at all grade levels. 

Each week, a guest moderator shares a new idea, perspective or vision of what it means to be an English teacher.

This conversation happens every Monday at 7 PM EST.  To join, search for the hashtag, #engchat in twitter or use a tool such as TweetChat to help you follow the discussion. 

More than a conversation, #engchat, is a community.  Check out this list of #engchat participants to connect with them directly.

I hope you'll join this community and share your ideas and talents as a teacher.

Thank you,
Meenoo Rami
