The first 4 minutes of the school day will establish what kind of day your students will have. Talk to them, greet each at the door, be enthusiastic that they are there. This costs $0 dollars. #uted #utedchat #culture

@StallionCornell I am listening to your podcast…do you think the reason they don’t talk about the wars is because they own stock in defense companies?

[John Scovill @Johnlit360]

#UTedChat a little fun fact…when we were trying to come up with the hashtag…Drew thought it would be great to have TED in it like in TED Talks… it just worked!

[John Scovill @Johnlit360]

@lars3eb @DrewEdu @covili No problem. It’s been great to see it connect educators from across the state! #utedchat

[John Scovill @Johnlit360]

#UTedChat this is some history of the hashtag. It was really a way to connect educators from across the state. And it was so new at the time too. I have always been on onlooker on Wednesday nights to see the topics!

[John Scovill @Johnlit360]

#UTedChat I remember one where I was at a Wingers in St. George ready for it to start and no one participated. Drew and I did sessions around the state on how to use Twitter to connect with other educators. This was over ten years ago!

[John Scovill @Johnlit360]

#UTedChat Over ten years ago, Twitter was a place to learn and connect with others. I would see other states with chats. Utah didn’t have one. Drew and I came up with the hashtag and started having chats with very small number of participants.

@ucet @lars3eb @covili @pamturley55 @kdumont @downrightdave @DaniKSloan @DeborahGatrell1 @HSG_UT @KBeddes Thanks for taking the hashtag on and being successful. I only dreamed to reach as many educators when I thought of it over 10 years ago!

@EliMcCann The previous talk he did with the youth crushed me.

[John Scovill @Johnlit360]

Smaller conferences are the best because you get to sit and learn from some of the best like @pennykittle @donalynbooks and others!

@jessiejensen @DarthCydiouss They will all be getting a meeting with the Bishop.

[John Scovill @Johnlit360]

@DarthCydiouss @jessiejensen When they say these comments will be directed to the appropriate leaders…Strengthening Church Members Committee

@easton_matty It’s horrible and sadly it’s what they do.

[John Scovill @Johnlit360]

@_Kristine_A This is what they do.
