A place for advisors to chat with one another.
The summer is fast approaching which means that this little @AcAdvChat bird will be soaking up some sun and fun on holidays.
The #AcAdv Chat will be taking a much deserved break until September. I know the summer brings a number of my advising friends a busy orientation season, summer projects, or even vacation own their own. Good luck & enjoy!
Stay cool!
Time sure flies when you're having fun. This has been a quite a busy semester for the @AcAdvChat Community.It's been fantastic seeing many of you participate in the regular Tuesday chats, and also see the new joiners to the community who share beyond our weekly 60 minute discussion. Here are some of the latest & greatest stats from #AcAdv:
That being said - we still have 5 more weeks to chat, so let's make May the...
See you on the Twitter stream, my friends!
Happy 2012 to all my #AcAdv Chat tweeps! What does the new year hold for you? Resolutions? Goals? Professional development? Or just exploring a new building on campus? Join us for the 1st chat of the year on Tuesday (1/17) as we talk about the voted topic: Professional Development Plans for Advisors.
Rather than looking at the New Year as a time to make resolutions, make this a time of year to challenge your typical Monday through Friday routine of advising appointments and meetings.Take your boss to coffee. Advise on a laptop out of doors. Shut your door and spend an hour reading the Chronicle of Higher Education (and perhaps some Cronk News…just so you keep your sources diverse, of course). However you add some professional spice to your week, just remember: Do something different from your usual #acadv routine!
To follow my own advice, the @AcAdvChat is branching out to ask ONE asynchronous question OR pose a discussion point each Friday with the hashtag #AcAdvFri. This will be posted for the #AcAdv Chat community to respond and share thoughts on Twitter, Facebook and (NEW) Google Plus. This discussion thread it to engage those in the #AcAdv community who might be busy advising to make the LIVE #AcAdv Chat. Stay tuned this week for the 1st #AcAdvFri thought/question.
Best wishes to you and yours during the festive season. I hope you enjoy the winter break, and we will be back to chat on Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Happy 2012!
The #AcAdv Chat is taking a break next week, and there will be NO #AcAdv CHAT on October 4th. I am really looking foward to meeting some of you. For other advisors who are not attending the conference, be sure to follow along with the #NACADA11 Social Media Team and backchannel hashtag #NACADA11.
For those of you who want to meet me IRL, I will be presenting Session #193 (listed below) and of course I will be attending the #NACADA11 & #AcAdv Chat Tweet Up on Monday, October 4, 2011 at 7 pm. Sign up here to let me know if you are coming: http://bit.ly/NACADA11TweetUp
#AcAdv Chat: The Online Advisor Learning Network
| Date: | October 04, 2011 Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm |
| Room: | 406/407 |
| Abstract: |
Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) make use of social networking websites and tools to allow users to personalize their learning resources, create community around common professional interests and areas of inquiry, and even attain professional development goals. Over the last year @AcAdvChat has evolved into a community and support system on the social web as the Advisor Learning Network. Through the use of emerging media, such as blogs, social networks and Twitter, advisors have been able to connect and converse with each other beyond formal training and development. The #AcAdv Chat brought advising professionals together each week to share ideas, resources and dialogue around various advising topics. #AcAdv is more than a hashtag - come find out what the chat is all about. Connect to #AcAdv Chat on the blog (http://acadvchat.posterous.com/) or on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/acadvchat). |
As the Fall semester starts (or will start) on university and college campuses, it's about time that the #AcAdv Chat return as well. Join us on Tuesday, September 6th from 12-1 pm CST as we discuss "Summer Recap & Fall Semester Planning" with all your academic advising friends.
It's time for this @AcAdvChat bird to get some serious RnR. I will be ON VACATION from my MOD role and putting the #AcAdv Chat on pause for the entire month of August. It's time to relax & ride the waves - SURF'S UP!
No need to fear. I shall return in September to chat with all of you! Join us for the LAST Summer 2011 #AcAdv Chat on Tuesday (7/26), and then enjoy some sun & fun yourself. 
Will you miss me when I'm gone? Be sure to take a gander at the #AcAdv Chat Archives and give us your thoughts, hopes & dreams as to what you would like to see for #AcAdv Chat this Fall via the Feedback Form.
As more of our advising friends enjoy the summer evenings, we thought #AcAdv Chat should move to a DAYTIME location.
Join us on Tuesdays from 12-1 pm CST starting June 7, 2011.

It may come to no surprise to you that there are a wide variety of Twitter Chats just like #AcAdv Chat.
Many Twitter Chats have been collected and shared in this Google Doc http://bit.ly/TwitterChatSchedule
Also there is a new website that serves as a director of #highered tweetups, hashtags and twitter chats called edutweetups.
#AcAdv Chat is proudly listed at the top of the edutweetups list of Twitter Chats. Yay! Go on - tell your friends.
Recently #AcAdv Chat was given an unsolicited SHOUT OUT on last week's Student Affairs Live (#SALive) show by our advising friend @EricStoller. Since we appreciate the kudos, we thought we would share the love by letting our advising friends know what #SALive is all about.
The Student Affairs Live program is a weekly web show all about student affairs topics with guests from the student affairs world hosted by Eric Stoller. Each program is produced live every Wednesday at 3 pm CST and viewers can tweet questions or comments in the #SALive backchannel. For those of us who are busy with advising appointments then, no need to fear as the weekly broadcast is archived for your free viewing pleasure.
Here's a digital high five to you, #SALive! Keep up the fine work.
