@JeffreyKeefer	Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	6/24/2014 16:10:29
@JeffreyKeefer	Today’s #AdjunctChat topic is a discussion around various Considerations for a Global #AdjunctChat Day http://t.co/0wmfRDFjUg	6/24/2014 16:11:09
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @Oplerno @lmockford @katrinafee @whowewilltobe I am moderating #AdjunctChat today; later meeting than expected.	6/24/2014 16:11:48
@JeffreyKeefer	Let’s do a check-in; who is here for #AdjunctChat?	6/24/2014 16:12:09
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I think this is a great idea. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:12:30
@JeffreyKeefer	Today’s #AdjunctChat is a continuation of what first arose on May 20 http://t.co/KYLOTwvOVo	6/24/2014 16:13:34
@frankblues	@JeffreyKeefer I’m around… #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:13:40
@LitProfSuz	Good afternoon! I haven’t been able to attend an #adjunctchat lately. Good to see you!	6/24/2014 16:13:47
@JeffreyKeefer	Those who moderated #AdjunctChat on May 20 @KateMfD @unicasual @Acahacker @UCUAnti_Cas @CAPAWca @JeffreyKeefer have discussed more options.	6/24/2014 16:15:01
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	6/24/2014 16:15:21
@JeffreyKeefer	@frankblues Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	6/24/2014 16:15:25
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Welcome to #AdjunctChat! Great to see you again, too!!	6/24/2014 16:15:38
@JeffreyKeefer	When we had our first global #AdjunctChat, lots of new ideas and networks started, and we thought we may want to expand on this a bit.	6/24/2014 16:16:10
@JeffreyKeefer	. . . and this #AdjunctChat today just came together as an opportunity to publicly share and consider some of the ideas we have floated.	6/24/2014 16:17:15
@JeffreyKeefer	Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat?	6/24/2014 16:17:20
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I just jump in here. I think a 24 hr (day of adjunct) is a great idea but will take some organization. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:17:24
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer #acwri does a month of activities 24 hours a day for a month. they have people sign up to moderate at all times #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:18:25
@frankblues	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat What’s the goal? Awareness? Participation? Connection?	6/24/2014 16:18:30
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 A1 Yes, some organizing, which is something that we wanted to begin to see if there is interest in #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:18:42
@AdjunctChat	RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat?	6/24/2014 16:19:00
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer So we would just need to get enough people to sign up to moderate for 24 hours. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:19:39
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 So #acwri does it for 24 hours OR for a solid month (once a year)? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:19:46
@Comprof1	RT @frankblues: @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat What’s the goal? Awareness? Participation? Connection?	6/24/2014 16:19:51
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @frankblues: @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat What’s the goal? Awareness? Participation? Connection?	6/24/2014 16:19:54
@JeffreyKeefer	@frankblues I think the goals are all of the above #AdjunctChat A1	6/24/2014 16:20:09
@Comprof1	@frankblues @JeffreyKeefer Related, should we have topics for people to volunteer moderation or have moderators propose topics? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:20:42
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Does it need to be fully moderated for all 24 hours? #AdjunctChat A1	6/24/2014 16:20:48
@AdjunctChat	Today’s #AdjunctChat topic is a discussion around various Considerations for a Global #AdjunctChat Day http://t.co/UzhaCEJOq9	6/24/2014 16:21:26
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer They have 24 hour coverage for 30 days. I’m not suggesting that. But they do have moderators 24/7 #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:21:42
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @frankblues Great question! We were thinking the same topic so to see how it moves or is experienced around the world #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:22:49
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 For me personally, the exciting thing @ a twitter chat is the instant replies-more conversational. #adjunctchat	6/24/2014 16:22:54
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I think so if we are going to be truly global. #AdjunctChat We could have duplicate topics w/ diff moderators #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:23:10
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @frankblues However, perhaps sign up moderators and ask them to propose different topics? A1 #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:23:35
@frankblues	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Could there be moderation by timezone? Rotate by question?	6/24/2014 16:23:53
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Think we could have enough constant participation to still make it a chat, & not just a hashtag? #adjunctchat	6/24/2014 16:24:51
@JeffreyKeefer	@frankblues @Comprof1 We have a group in the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. I am not sure if elsewhere #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:25:13

@melovell	RT @AdjunctChat: Today’s #AdjunctChat topic is a discussion around various Considerations for a Global #AdjunctChat Day http://t.co/UzhaCEJ…	6/24/2014 16:25:26
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz @Comprof1 Now that may be one of the questions of the day! #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:25:44
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @frankblues Or if you wanted discussion of same topics could have 4 or 6 topics replicated with different mods.#adjunctchat	6/24/2014 16:25:57
@AdjunctChat	Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat?	6/24/2014 16:26:25
@JeffreyKeefer	Q2: What would be some of the benefits of this form of #AdjunctChat?	6/24/2014 16:27:09
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer @frankblues Yay, maybe rotate 4 topics thru the day for global perspective? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:27:21
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Hmmm…maybe start with a 12 hour window? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:28:26
@ProfessorF74	RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat?	6/24/2014 16:28:58
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz @Comprof1 Tell more about what you are thinking? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:31:40
@JeffreyKeefer	A2 I think some of the benefits of this will be to network, share resources, and expand our horizons #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:32:22
@JeffreyKeefer	A2 I also think that what is happening with HE in the USA is affecting how everybody else practices HE cost-cutting #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:32:48
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Well, rather than 24 hrs, try 12 hrs. Maybe less trickling of participation? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:33:13
@JeffreyKeefer	A2 Talking together about how we all handle things or can support one another can be beneficial for a global sense of “us” #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:33:41
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer We could have 5 different chats on the 4 topics at a given local time i.e. 4pm Gmt, Edt, etc…#AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:33:57
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Hmm.. 4 pm at every time zone. Have a moderator per time zone. Same topic would provide continuity #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:36:06
@JeffreyKeefer	Q3: What are some of the hurdles we may need to address? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:36:45
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Wondering if we should poll people to find out interest, topic, time? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:36:49
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer We need lead time to publicize, but not too long so people forget. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:37:45
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 I think that is a great idea! #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:38:58
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer We need about a week of intense publicity the week before by twitter volunteers. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:39:38
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 We were actually considering August 5 for this . . . #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:39:41
@JeffreyKeefer	You do know I may be reaching out to you all to help with this, right?! 🙂 #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:40:03

@frankblues	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Yup.	6/24/2014 16:40:55
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer That is a tough time because Europe is off & classes begin in US #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:40:55
@KateMfD	Sorry to be late to #AdjunctChat. Winter dark here. @JeffreyKeefer	6/24/2014 16:41:01
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Good time to inspire for the new school year #adjunctchat. But, need more visibility & recruitment	6/24/2014 16:41:22
@frankblues	@JeffreyKeefer I need to go get ready for class. Will catch up later! Thanks all! #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:41:28
@JeffreyKeefer	What can we use to poll people or eventually ask people to sign up for? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:41:56
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Definately, but not if it is August 5. I find internationally october is a better month. #AdjunctChat Esp end of Oct.	6/24/2014 16:42:10
@JeffreyKeefer	@KateMfD Welcome; we were just talking about you (so to speak!!) #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:42:25
@Comprof1	@KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer What months are good/bad for academics where you are? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:43:09
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Goodness, four months away? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:43:10
@JeffreyKeefer	@frankblues Thanks for stopping by! I prep for class in about 15 . . . #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:43:38
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 glad you know more @ scheduling around the world than I! #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:43:46
@JeffreyKeefer	Q4: What are some potential topics with a global reach? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:43:49
@AdjunctChat	RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q4: What are some potential topics with a global reach? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:44:22
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer If we want worldwide participation, I think we are going to have to. I know August I might not be able to part. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:44:43
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Oct 5th is World Teacher Day – #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:45:22
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Worked in international training for 10 yrs. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:45:24
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer What a great day to do it! #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:46:31
@KateMfD	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Sept is good for us for global #adjunctchat. Aug 5 could be a promo to confirm topics.	6/24/2014 16:46:34
@JeffreyKeefer	A4 FOr topics, how about just discussing a status of what adjunct or contingent faculty is like where you live? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:47:04
@JeffreyKeefer	A4 Another topic can be the challenges qnd benefits of part-time instruction in HE #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:47:26
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @KateMfD: @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Sept is good for us for global #adjunctchat. Aug 5 could be a promo to confirm topics.	6/24/2014 16:47:42
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz I also know from my students creating international online conferences for comm class it takes time to organize. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:47:58
@KateMfD	@LitProfSuz @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Oct 5 also OK, just. Getting towards the hard end of the year, grading-wise. #adjunctchat	6/24/2014 16:48:04
@JeffreyKeefer	@KateMfD @Comprof1 So this way the development itself can be over time and with public feedback / input! #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:48:12

@AdjunctChat	Q4: What are some potential topics with a global reach? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:48:50
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer It might also be nice to have a blog post from each moderator on status of contingent in their country. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:49:34
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer Might that become a little too negative (potentially)? We’d probably have many newbies-don’t want to scare them #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:49:41
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @KateMfD Also helps to create followship for day’s chat. #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:50:28
@KateMfD	A key issue for us is raising awareness of what’s systematic about academic precarity in current global economy #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:50:32

@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Perhaps . . . what comes to mind for a topic, or rather what would you like to discuss that may appeal globally? A4 #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:51:37
@JeffreyKeefer	Finally, the final question for today – Q5: What tag(s) can we use that may be global in scope? #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:51:54

@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer Maybe rephrasing- How do you find support as contingent faculty? Or, what strategies do you use to succeed as.. #adjunctchat	6/24/2014 16:53:41
@JeffreyKeefer	A5 It seems the term “adjunct” is not used globally; there may not be an ideal term for this #AdjunctChat	6/24/2014 16:54:07
@JeffreyKeefer	A5 We have had some discussion as to how fitting “#AdjunctChat” is as a term that has global reach, or at least relatebility.	6/24/2014 16:54:34

@JeffreyKeefer	Q1 I wonder how many of us here in #AdjunctChat today even see ourselves as members of any adjunct communities?	6/10/2014 16:11:14
@polypel88	A1: twitter helps us form communities where uni fail to include our voice #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:11:16
@JeffreyKeefer	@polypel88 Do you feel part of an adjunct community? #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:11:43
@frankblues	@polypel88 @JeffreyKeefer @whowewilltobe @fabianbanga @ProfessorF74 @FromPhDtoLife A1: Insert easy and universal answer here. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:12:22
@JeffreyKeefer	@polypel88 A1 I wonder if communities may form regardless of what may happen in one uni or another? #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:12:23
@fabianbanga	@polypel88 A1: I think SM communities r working very well. many also in facebook, and G+ #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:12:39
@polypel88	@JeffreyKeefer that’s true. Adjunct seems to be such a displaced term. Very liminal. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:12:40
@frankblues	@JeffreyKeefer I feel like I participate in many communities as an adjunct, but not in communities specifically for adjuncts. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:13:20
@JeffreyKeefer	@frankblues A1 I find Twitter an easier path to community, as physical ones often conflict with times #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:13:32

@JeffreyKeefer	@VCVaile @fabianbanga Alas, with so many adjuncts teaching in many programs, unclear when passing who is even in the same dept #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:32:59

#AdjunctChat Topic June 24 ~ Considerations for a Global #AdjunctChat Day (with @jeffreykeefer)

The topic for the #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, June 24 at 4:00pm EDT is:

Considerations for a Global #AdjunctChat Day

Some of you may recall a recent #AdjunctChat we had the explored the experiences of adjunct, part-time, contingent, precarious, faculty in higher education –
Global Experiences of Adjunct Faculty in Higher Education. A number of us who chatted that day have remained in touch and shared ideas for expanding this.

How about a day-long #AdjunctChat, making it easier for people in various timezones to participate?

Seems a good idea, though like many things worth doing it requires lots of discussion for shared terms, scheduling, logistics, topics, and the like.

With this as the backdrop, let’s spend today’s time together discussing some issues that may be related to a different style of #AdjunctChat. Here are a few potential starters that our facilitator @jeffreykeefer will use:

Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat?

Q2: What would be some of the benefits of this form of #AdjunctChat?

Q3: What are some of the hurdles we may need to address? #AdjunctChat

Q4: What are some potential topics with a global reach? #AdjunctChat

Q5: What tag(s) can we use that may be global in scope? #AdjunctChat

All adjunct, contingent, part-time, visiting, and non-tenure track instructors, along with their allies, in higher education are welcome to #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, June 24, from 4:00-5:00pm EDT. Even if you do not readily fit into the above, #AdjunctChat is open to all! The more perspectives, the better we all learn with and from one another.

Want to facilitate an #AdjunctChat? You do not have to be an expert on the topic, but rather have an interest in something related to adjunct experiences with a desire to facilitate a live Twitter chat. More information about it may be found at How Can I Facilitate an #AdjunctChat?

#AdjunctChat Topic June 10 ~ Adjunct Anarchy: Generating Adjunct Communities

The topic for the #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, June 10 at 4:00pm EDT is:

Adjunct Anarchy: Generating Adjunct Communities

Look what an adjunct community came up with through casual sharing?! This topic itself came from some ideas shared between @frankblues @whowewilltobe @polypel88 @fabianbanga @VCVaile @Comprof1 @ProfessorF74 @FromPhDtoLife and @jeffreykeefer due to some schedule issues, and while it is open to interpretation, here are a few potential starters:

Q1: What are your adjunct support systems? #AdjunctChat

Q2: What did you learn from them last year? #AdjunctChat

Q3: How do these shift / expand / decline over the summer? #AdjunctChat

Q4: What will you take with you into the new year? #AdjunctChat

All adjunct, contingent, part-time, visiting, and non-tenure track instructors, along with their allies, in higher education are welcome to #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, June 10, from 4:00-5:00pm EDT. Even if you do not readily fit into the above, #AdjunctChat is open to all! The more perspectives, the better we all learn with and from one another.

Transcript from #AdjunctChat 6/3/14 (with @whowewilltobe)

This is the transcript from #AdjunctChat on 6/3/14 that was facilitated by Bri O’Blivion @whowewilltobe.

The topic was:  “Adjuncts on the Dole: Eliminating the Shame of Applying for Public Assistance.”

All are welcome to our next #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, June 10 (4:00pm EDT). We are still working out the topic, so come along for what will undoubtedly be something that will create meaning, share experiences, and offer resources, together!

Want to facilitate an #AdjunctChat? You do not have to be an expert on the topic, but rather somebody with an interest in something related to adjunct experiences who has a desire to facilitate a discussion. More information about it may be found at How Can I Facilitate an #AdjunctChat?

@Comprof1	@whowewilltobe The semesters when my courses are cut are the most difficult. But I don’t qualify for unemployment. #adjunctchat	6/3/14 16:06

@GracieG	@whowewilltobe @Comprof1 Exactly. Those corps don’t care if people go hungry. Oh, you have a few bucks? We’ll take it. #adjunctchat	6/3/14 16:12
@whowewilltobe	@GracieG Trouble’s coming here soon, too. In two weeks, unless the DHS approves our food stamp application quickly. #AdjunctChat 1/1	6/3/14 16:13
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Meaning I think I’m only guaranteed one course in fall, but I think contract says one course per sem 2/yr. #adjunctchat	6/3/14 16:13
@whowewilltobe	@GracieG We’re down to our last $500. Tell me how this is equal pay for equal work. #AdjunctChat	6/3/14 16:13
@whowewilltobe	@GracieG @Comprof1 We should establish food banks in the #badmin offices. Agit prop theater. Creative resistance. #AdjunctChat	6/3/14 16:14
@GracieG	@whowewilltobe IF I get unemployment or state insurance for myself, that overrides the orig thing & we will get some food help #adjunctchat	6/3/14 16:15

#AdjunctChat Topic June 3 ~ Adjuncts on the Dole (with @whowewilltobe)

The topic for the #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, June 3 at 4:00pm EDT is:

Adjuncts on the Dole: Eliminating the Shame of Applying for Public Assistance

The chat will be facilitated by Bri O’Blivion @whowewilltobe.

Many adjunct and part-time higher education instructors struggle earning a living through teaching multiple courses, often at multiple universities, frequently barely making enough income to survive. Moreover, it is increasingly a situation where some are seeking public assistance just to survive. Does this resonate with your experiences? Want to challenge the stigma associated with all this? Want to chat?

Our discussion will focus on these questions:

Q1: When do you most need state support? #AdjunctChat

Q2: Tell us about your experiences during application. #AdjunctChat

Q3: How do you rationalize your emotional response? #AdjunctChat

Q4: How can we help dissolve the humiliation that we feel? #AdjunctChat

All adjunct, contingent, part-time, visiting, and non-tenure track instructors, along with their allies, in higher education are welcome to #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, June 3, from 4:00-5:00pm EDT. Even if you do not readily fit into the above, #AdjunctChat is open to all! The more perspectives, the better we all learn with and from one another.

Want to facilitate an #AdjunctChat? You do not have to be an expert on the topic, but rather have an interest in something related to adjunct experiences with a desire to facilitate a live Twitter chat. More information about it may be found at How Can I Facilitate an #AdjunctChat?

@Melissa_Venable	@npmaven Thanks for mentioning “contribution.” Relationship building definitely a two-way thing. Ask questions, but help too. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:25

@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer @npmaven Good point here about differentiation across social media accounts/platforms. Multiple options. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:26

@Melissa_Venable	Q3) via @JeffreyKeefer What processes do you use to identify useful groups? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:27
@npmaven	@JeffreyKeefer Trial & error. I start w/groups where I’m a member elsewhere. Some have been invites, some exploring. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:27
@Melissa_Venable	@adjunctforlife Hello there! Would like to hear more about your LinkedIn experience. There are limitations. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:28
@npmaven	Struggling with that contribution piece, to be honest. The time issue. Or I’m stuck in ‘learner’ mode. So I ask questions. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:29
@MirandaMerklein	@Melissa_Venable Yes, I’m definitely looking for something that provides an actual income. 6/7 courses per semester is hell. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:29
@Melissa_Venable	Some of the most interesting groups (to me) are related to schools (alumni) and professional orgs. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:29
@JeffreyKeefer	@adjunctforlife Welcome t #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:29

@Melissa_Venable	@MirandaMerklein Wow – agreed. There seem to be a lot of LinkedIn discussions related to adjunct and academic employment … #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:30
@MirandaMerklein	@npmaven I think that’s what I don’t get. My history is journalism, publishing, and adjuncting. Not sure where to fit in alt-ac #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:30
@adjunctforlife	Nothing will make the job search better if there are no jobs. You can learn acrobatics & walk on fire & it still won’t help #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:31
@Melissa_Venable	@MirandaMerklein …but not sure what the stats are on how many lead to placement, contracts. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:31
@JeffreyKeefer	@npmaven Can you talk more about what you have in mind? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:31
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable Do you find they have substantive conversations? If so, what makes them that way? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:32
@npmaven	@MirandaMerklein Have to test the waters. I engage w/peers in different interest areas. Connecting, learning, networking. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:32
@JeffreyKeefer	@adjunctforlife How have you tried to leverage LinkedIn? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:32
@MirandaMerklein	@Melissa_Venable I think there are lots who don’t know where to go. Even entry level positions are competitive and specialized #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:32
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer Yes – good for sharing experiences- answering Qs about transition from school to work for example. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:33
@JHulehan	LinkedIn is about networking. You have to make it work for you. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:33
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer Prof org Groups can be helpful to extend networking before and after a conference. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:33
@npmaven	Yes. Different for each of us. RT @JHulehan LinkedIn is about networking. You have to make it work for you. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:34
@Melissa_Venable	@adjunctforlife Well, I can’t argue that. Numbers of available positions does make a difference. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:34
@npmaven	RT @Melissa_Venable @JeffreyKeefer Prof org Groups can be helpful to extend networking before, after conference. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:34
@Melissa_Venable	@JHulehan Hi Jennifer! Agreed. 🙂 It’s a tool that could be used in multiple ways. Each user can decide priorities,participate. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:35
@npmaven	Yes, some of my pro groups use LinkedIn primarily for networking. They’re more successful than where LI is only 1 tool used. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:35
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable @MirandaMerklein Perhaps this is something to look at; I have not searched for adjunct specs on LI #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:36
@npmaven	LinkedIn not as full-featured as others. Groups w/presence elsewhere may find LI not their best forum for what they want to do. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:36
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @JHulehan: LinkedIn is about networking. You have to make it work for you. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:36
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer @MirandaMerklein Any thoughts on adjunct positions and referrals? Networking can help make the connections. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:36
@JeffreyKeefer	@JHulehan Welcome to #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:37
@JeffreyKeefer	@JHulehan Have you found success using LinkedIn? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:37
@JHulehan	Some ways people use LinkedIn: expanding their network, relationship management, getting introduced to…, #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:37
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable I thought your post for this week’s #AdjunctChat was quite useful http://t.co/z1E0CNnHTa	5/27/14 16:37
@Melissa_Venable	@npmaven Well said. Value of LinkedIn (and other networks) varies by industry, community, etc. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:39
@JHulehan	@JeffreyKeefer Absolutely! I’ve made great connections, and I’ve also gotten freelance work via LinkedIn. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:39

@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer Thanks, Jeffrey 🙂 I think LinkedIn is worth exploring, trying before making a decision to use/not use. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:40
@JHulehan	Other ways to use LinkedIn: Promote your career, Group collaboration, Share presentations, Discussions, Build personal brand. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:40

@JHulehan	LI summary statement is like your personal mission statement or the first few paragraphs of your best-written cover letter. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:41
@Melissa_Venable	@JHulehan Yes! You can take an entrepreneurial approach -get the word out about your work, services. Build authority. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:41
@npmaven	RT @Melissa_Venable @JHulehan Yes! take an entrepreneurial approach -get word out about your work, services. Build authority #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:42
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable I have heard people be very successful with LI, though have not figured how to contribute / leverage with it #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:42
@adjunctforlife	How 2 get a job: 1) Have 20 mediocre publications 2) Have the right connections 3) B wealthy, privileged & the right ethnicity #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:42
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable I am very open to exploring it more #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:43
@JHulehan	RT @JeffreyKeefer: @Melissa_Venable I thought your post for this week’s #AdjunctChat was quite useful http://t.co/z1E0CNnHTa	5/27/14 16:43
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer I think either extreme can be helpful from minimal: complete and updated profile (comes up in LI and Google)… #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:44
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer to maximum: participating daily in Group discussions, liking/sharing others’ updates, expanding connections. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:45
@JHulehan	One key to leveraging LI: joining groups! And then participating in them! #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:45
@Melissa_Venable	Q4) What are your recommendations – where should an adjunct new to LinkedIn get started? Best use of time and tools. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:46
@Melissa_Venable	RT @JHulehan One key to leveraging LI: joining groups! And then participating in them! #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:48
@JHulehan	A4) Join groups like Inside Higher Ed. Start discussions. Comment on others’ discussions. Send invitations to connect. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:49
@npmaven	RT @JHulehan A4) Join groups like Inside Higher Ed. Start discussions. Comment on others’ discussions. Send invites to connect. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:50
@JHulehan	A4) Start with a professional photo. Then an informative headline: Your headline is a short, memorable professional slogan. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:50
@Melissa_Venable	@JHulehan Great #LinkedIn tips, Jennifer. And a good reminder to identify groups, influencers, etc. in #highered! #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:50
@fabianbanga	hi #adjunctchat sorry i am too late, but I am here.	5/27/14 16:51
@Melissa_Venable	@JHulehan Well played! We are now connected on LinkedIn 🙂 Thanks for reaching out. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:52
@Melissa_Venable	@fabianbanga Hi! Glad you could make it. 🙂 Any suggestions for those new to LinkedIn? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:52
@JHulehan	Update your #LinkedIn status regularly. Posting updates helps you stay on network’s radar and build professional image. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:54
@Melissa_Venable	LinkedIn, like Facebook and the others, changes. Stay current on new features, setting options, etc. http://t.co/40ELU2hN3M #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:55
@fabianbanga	@Melissa_Venable I do not know, I am using LinkedIn for some years; more like a space for professional interaction and CV share #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:55
@JHulehan	Posting in the National Assoc. of Developmental Education group on #LinkedIn helped me in building my brand. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:55
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable @JHulehan Great idea; perhaps we should connect on LI! #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:56
@Melissa_Venable	@JHulehan How frequently do you recommend updates? (I usually do this 1-2 per week, but …) #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:56
@Melissa_Venable	MT @fabianbanga …I am using LinkedIn for some years; more like a space for professional interaction and CV share #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:56
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable @JHulehan Odd, but I often do not think about asking people to connect; that is what I like about Twitter! #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:56
@fabianbanga	@Melissa_Venable found some people when looking for instructors + connections in the area of #edtech / #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:56
@Melissa_Venable	Yes! Send those invitations. 🙂 RT @JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable @JHulehan Great idea; perhaps we should connect on LI! #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:57
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga @Melissa_Venable What strategies did you use? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:58
@JHulehan	@Melissa_Venable I think 1-2 per week is good. Sometimes I do more if I’m working on a project (i.e. post presentation I gave) #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:58
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable @JHulehan What sorts of updates do you add? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:58
@Melissa_Venable	@fabianbanga Interesting – you found instructors to hire? #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:59
@JHulehan	@JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable Asking for connections is good! As long as you send more than generic “want to add you add” msg #adjunctchat	5/27/14 16:59
@JHulehan	@JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable If I go to a conference–or hear something great at a conference, I might update with that. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 17:00
@Melissa_Venable	@JHulehan @JeffreyKeefer Agreed – it’s a good way to get a conversation going. Stronger connection than “following” #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 17:00
@fabianbanga	@Melissa_Venable wondering about the similarities with http://t.co/tcNrxNclzl #adjunctchat	5/27/14 17:00
@JHulehan	@JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable Mention projects, professional books or articles, or events I’m attending. #adjunctchat	5/27/14 17:00
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer @JHulehan I share articles I’ve written, projects I’m working on. Mostly promotion. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 17:00
@JHulehan	If you’re active in a group, you may become a “Top Contributor,” which really gets your name out there! #adjunctchat	5/27/14 17:01
@Melissa_Venable	@fabianbanga I think there are more academic-centric communities than LinkedIn, may be better interaction for some. #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 17:01

@JeffreyKeefer	With so many of us here on #AdjunctChat on LinkedIn, perhaps we should explore having our own group discussions there!	5/27/14 17:02
