On Tuesday (February 12) at 9:00 PM, Dr. Allen and I will be moderating a live tweetchat of Pres. Barack
Obama's State of the Union address and Sen. Mark Rubio's (R-FL) Republican response. Students, alumni, and friends of AU are invited to join in at #SOTUAU.
What is a tweetchat? It's a virtual conversation that takes place via Twitter at a pre-arranged time through Twitter updates (tweets) that use a hashtag provided by the moderator. When a tweetchat concerns a live event like the SOTU, it can make the event more interactive, more informative, and more fun. You can read more about participating in tweetchats at this link.
To participate, you'll need a Twitter account (free) or convince a friend with a Twitter account to watch the SOTU with you and tweet on your behalf (probably not free).
My handle is @mfrank_au and Dr. Allen's is @danielrallen. (Note that opinions and jokes tweeted are not necessarily those of our employer, Anderson University.)
The remainder of this post is about how to enhance your experience.
