Join Us For The Very First #IAedchat LIVE Tonight at 8:00pm CST

I am really excited for something special that is going to happen later tonight!  

This is going to be the first time that I am part of #IAedchat as one of the new co-hosts, along with my friends Devin Schoening and Dan Butler.  

We are looking forward to joining Aaron Becker, Jimmy Casas, and Matt Degner each week for #IAedchat that they have been hosting together since early in 2013.  When the three of them asked us to join the weekly chat a few months ago, we all have been planning and brainstorming to make #IAedchat even better.  We are definitely ready to continue to make a difference.  

The first thing, was to add another #IAedchat at 8:00am CST.  This will give people the option of a morning or evening time (or both) time to participate in the awesome conversation that happens each week.  The 8:00pm CST chat will stay the same.  

The second thing, was to add a LIVE conversation to #IAedchat.  On the fourth Sunday of each month, the six of us will be hosting #IAedchat LIVE in Google Hangout on Air.  

We will feature special guests to talk about educational topics.  The live show will have two other features.....one to highlight a school, organization, or person who is doing something awesome we should all know about and another highlighting special events coming up in Iowa and other places around the world.  

We would love for you to be part of #IAedchat LIVE too.  

Please fill out the Google Form above at the link here to share which part of the show you would like to be part of.  

Along with the additions to #IAedchat, we have also created a new digital space with the IAedchat Wiki.

On the wiki, you will find the schedule for each month, along with the special guests and features of the LIVE event.

Aaron is the one in charge of archiving all of the awesome conversations each week.

He does this within his Storify account which can be found at storify.com/Aaron_Becker32/.

We have included the #IAedchat's Storified Archives page on the wiki too.

In addition to the Storify archives, we will also be posting each LIVE show on the #IAEdChat LIVE News and Archives page on the wiki.

It is going to be a great conversation tonight.....One I know you will not want to miss.  Please send us any questions that you have for Brad and Nick by using #IAedchat on Twitter.

And remember....On the first, second, and third Sundays of each month please join us for #IAedchat at 8:00am and 8:00pm CST on Twitter.  Our LIVE event will be at 8:00pm on the fourth Sunday each month.

We can't wait to hear from you as you participate in the chats and sign up to be part of the LIVE event too.
