Let’s have a global and multilingual conversation on Twitter to discuss Well-being in Teaching and Learning, and how Microsoft Reflect for Microsoft Teams, Microsoft solutions for social-emotional learning, and Microsoft Partner solutions can help you and your students to achieve more.

TweetMeet date and time

We look forward to welcoming you to the #TeamsEduChat TweetMeet on this topic on Tuesday, April 19 at 7am PDT / 10am EDT / 3pm BST.

Add this event to your calendar with our *.ics calendar link.

Our TweetMeet time zone announcer – updated each month – lets you check event times for your country.

Discussion questions

We’ll discuss five questions. Now is a good time to start preparing your answers:
Q1. What does well-being in teaching and learning mean to you?
Q2. In what ways can educators discover their students’ emotions?
Q3. How does an empathic and resilient classroom look like? Share an experience.
Q4. What social-emotional tools and resources encourage student engagement?
Q5. What are your top tips for educators to maintain their emotional balance?

What are TweetMeets at @TweetMeet?

TweetMeets are monthly, global, and multilingual conversations on Twitter around a specific topic relevant for educators. TweetMeets are also slow chats, which means that if our event hours are less convenient for you, you can join the conversation at a later time that suits you best.

How can I join?

The main account to follow is @TweetMeet, where we publish tips, challenges, and resources.

At event time, the @TweetMeet account will start publishing the five discussion questions 10 minutes apart. All participants can then respond to these questions from their perspective.
