Wow, 2018 has been a remarkable year for educators. Our #MSFTEduChat TweetMeets have brought us together every month and unfurled so much knowledge, we\u2019re going to need some extra help looking back and capturing the highlights. Well, with over 140 hosts joining us for this special Best of 2018 TweetMeet, we just might do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last twelve months, many of you joined the Microsoft Educator Community<\/a><\/strong> and have taken part in the courses, learning paths, lesson plans and other resources it offers. The global MIEExpert community continues to grow with incredible collaboration projects taking place between classrooms around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here on the Microsoft Education Blog, our 2018 was just a flurry of great news about OneNote Class Notebook<\/a><\/strong>, Learning Tools<\/a><\/strong>, Microsoft Teams<\/a><\/strong>, Minecraft: Education Edition<\/a><\/strong>, Flipgrid<\/a><\/strong>, Skype in the Classroom<\/a><\/strong>, Hacking STEM<\/strong><\/a> and Microsoft Whiteboard for Education<\/a><\/strong>. Thanks for following along and helping us wrap up the year with a collaborative recap for the TweetMeet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join the #MSFTEduChat TweetMeet<\/em> on Tuesday, December 18, at 10:00 a.m. PST<\/em><\/strong> (check your time zone here<\/a><\/strong>) to learn more. (Sounds great, but what\u2019s a TweetMeet?<\/a><\/em><\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month we\u2019re offering more simultaneous language tracks than ever before, for a total of 17. New this month are \u041c\u0430\u043a\u0435\u0434\u043e\u043d\u0441\u043a\u0438 (Macedonian), \u0939\u093f\u0902\u0926\u0940 (Hindi) and \u010cesky (Czech).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each language track, we have one or more hosts to post the translated questions and respond to educators. As always, we\u2019re super grateful to all current and former hosts who are collaborating closely to provide this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The #TweetMeetXX hashtags for non-English languages are to be used together with #MSFTEduChat so that everyone can find the conversations back in their own language. For example: Portuguese-speaking people use the combination #TweetMeetPT #MSFTEduChat. <\/strong>English-speaking educators may all use #MSFTEduChat on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#MSFTEduChat TweetMeet changes in 2018<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The monthly #MSFTEduchat TweetMeets by Microsoft Education themselves underwent significant changes in 2018 as well. Our events are now multilingual and more global than ever. Team TweetMeet, which organizes the events, now consists of three people: Marjolein Hoekstra, Francisco Texeira and Anica Tri\u010dkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last September we decided to move all preparations for these Twitter events to Microsoft Teams. The switch to the Teams platform allows Team TweetMeet and our expert hosts to collaborate more effectively, because it combines the power of group conversations, file sharing and meetings all in one system. Being able to add guests to our teams is an incredible benefit, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating 2.5 years of TweetMeets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first Microsoft Education TweetMeets were held in the summer of 2016. To celebrate their 2.5 years in existence, and to close 2018 in style, we decided to invite all former hosts to return once again. As many as 143 of these former hosts immediately accepted this invitation. They are very much looking forward to your best experiences, products and resources from 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many hosts coming together for this special occasion, we just had to make a video to introduce (or re-introduce) them all to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
