For the past 6 years, hundreds of teachers have tweeted, lurked, shared, and learned from others across the state thanks to the creators of the weekly education chat known as #nebEDchat. Some did it while grading papers, rocking babies, cleaning supper dishes, creating lesson plans, watching ESPN or Lifetime, or even while trying to stay awake after a long day!
Thank you to Laura Kroll (@Mandery), Chris Stogdill (@ChrisStogdill), Cynthia Stogdill (@CynthiaStogdill), Shelly Mowinkel (@ShellyMowinkel), Brandon Mowinkel (@bmowinkel), Jim York (@MrYorkOES), and Chris Arent (@chlor13) for your leadership over these past few years!

Initially, I felt a sense of loss that our Wednesday evening chat was gone for good. But then I re-read @Mandery’s tweet and the words “pass the torch” stood out.
While I was quietly considering how I could help “save the chat,” others were doing the same! One day a Direct Message from a teacher in another district appeared in my Twitter account asking me if I was interested in joining her and another teacher to bring #nebEDchat back! #yesmaam #joy |
While it took us a few weeks to get organized and recruit a couple more individuals, we think that this was a great week to kick off the return of the weekly Nebraska education chat! After all, this is Digital Citizenship Week (October 16-21) and we were lucky enough to snag @hcallihan for our first chat of the year! #digcit
