Welcome

#lrnchat is an online chat that happens every Thursday night 8:30-10pm EST / 5:30-7pm PST over the social messaging service Twitter. Participants are people interested in the topic of learning from one another and who want to discuss how to help other people learn.

The official Twitter account is @lrnchat. Learn more here. Instruction on how to #lrnchat are always available in the sidebar links.

After each chat we post a transcript of that night’s chat. The times listed in the transcript are based on which member of the #lrnchat moderation crew creates the transcript (and which time-zone they’re creating it from).

We have aspirations of creating a #lrnchat for participants for people in other parts of the world, sleeping while the original lrnchat is taking place, but we haven’t gotten that organized yet. If you’re interested in being a moderator, please let us know through the @lrnchat account.

Topic for February 18, 2010: Your ideal learning  environment. What is it? What are the barriers that prevent it from becoming real? What one positive thing could help make it happen. Bonus: How can #lrnchat as a community help with either boosting the positive or beating back the negative?
