To Chat or To Tweet, That is the Question

I have a wonderful friend whom I met when we were both teaching ESL classes. I was in the elementary building, she was at the high school. We would meet with the rest of the ESL team monthly to share ideas, concerns, plans and just to have a time we could build as a team.
My friend is a smart lady, always on top of things, she has never given up on helping other teachers grow in their professional knowledge. One of her latest emails to me had the purpose of trying to encourage me to become more involved in PLN chats. Below is part of what she just sent me. It looks great and maybe it will entice me to join a chat group even if it is on a Monday night at 6:00. Isn't that when normal people eat supper? Oh well, who said teachers are normal? Most of us aren't even home by then.

I don't know if I'm hooked or not but I'm going to give it a try.
