I finally got it out of the oven.

Yes, I’m speaking metaphorically.

I finished and submitted (fingers crossed) an article on my experience as moderator of an educational Twitter chat.

The image stands to correct me: Twitter, the former name for the microblogging platform, X.

I wonder if they’ll call them X chats now? How Xquisite?

Considering I had been moderating these real time online discussions for ten years, and I had planned on submitting an experience report, writing about the skills I acquired, the connections I made and the professional learning network I was able to build, was going to be a no-brainer.

I was Xtraordinarily wrong. It took much longer than I had expected to piece everything together and more organization of the content than originally envisioned.

Talk about flawed planning.

What left me even more befuddled was that the educational Twitter chat experience is what forms the base for my PhD dissertation.

Time to analyze what really want wrong and why.
