@JeffreyKeefer	@kristine_tx Sounds like a great thing for your learners #AdjunctChat @AdjunctNation @VanessaVaile @darthur62	9/2/2014 16:08
@JeffreyKeefer	@kristine_tx How are you planning to focus more on student engagement via distance? #AdjunctChat @AdjunctNation @VanessaVaile @darthur62	9/2/2014 16:08
@JeffreyKeefer	@N1academy Wow, seems challenging in the least #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:10
@JeffreyKeefer	@N1academy Exciting plans ahead; onward and upward! #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:10

@JeffreyKeefer	Seems that some people posted throughout the day, so will comment and share those posts as well #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:11
@JeffreyKeefer	I am going to begin working though the questions and we can see what sorts of discussions occur, either now or later in the day #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:12
@JeffreyKeefer	Q1 What are you teaching in the fall semester? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:12
@N1academy	@JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat — I may be completely done with higher education (again); left the first time in 2011.	9/2/2014 16:12
@JeffreyKeefer	A1 I am teaching 2 sections of a graduate research course, each one meeting twice a week for 3 hours F2F each #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:13

@JeffreyKeefer	@N1academy What brought you back into HE since then? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:13
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga Great; will see you after your meeting and the synchronous #AdjunctChat @Melissa_Venable @danieljbrunson @SponchPhD	9/2/2014 16:14
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga However,many may still be away, OR at least busily starting class! #AdjunctChat @Melissa_Venable @danieljbrunson @SponchPhD	9/2/2014 16:15
@JeffreyKeefer	@N1academy Thanks for the reply on the site http://t.co/8ovnvNL5NX #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:17
@JeffreyKeefer	@N1academy How about talking about what this experience is like closing a college? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:17
@JeffreyKeefer	@N1academy In some ways, that experience is just the opposite of today’s planned #AdjunctChat topic, and may make a valuable contrast.	9/2/2014 16:18
@JeffreyKeefer	@AndrewR_Physics Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the #AdjunctChat blog http://t.co/8ovnvNL5NX	9/2/2014 16:19
@JeffreyKeefer	@AndrewR_Physics Too bad you could not join the synchronous session, I would like to hear more about your use of clickers #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:20
@JeffreyKeefer	@AndrewR_Physics In some ways clickers seem a bit impersonal, though I have not used them or seen them done well #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:20
@JeffreyKeefer	@AndrewR_Physics I have seen clickers used rather poorly, and that was my only hands-on experience #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:21
@JeffreyKeefer	Q2 Have you taught this before? If so, how often? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:21
@JeffreyKeefer	A2 I have taught this research course many times before, though am always looking to improve it #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:24
@JeffreyKeefer	A2 I find many of my learners come to the course with . . . let’s just say . . . mixed experiences with it previously #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:24
@JeffreyKeefer	Q3 Where do you look for new or different ideas to teach? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:25
@JeffreyKeefer	Q3 Where do you look for new or different ideas to teach? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:25
@JeffreyKeefer	A3 I look anyplace I can for new ideas, and even though today’s #AdjunctChat is a bit quiet, I usually find some really useful ones here.	9/2/2014 16:26
@AndrewR_Physics	.@JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat I talk for 10 mins then set clicker Q. Students think/calc their own answer& click response anonymously 1/2	9/2/2014 16:26
@AndrewR_Physics	@JeffreyKeefer #Adjunctchat Then students discuss & critique their answers with neighbours for a few mins. Then revote. *Usually* more right	9/2/2014 16:28
@JeffreyKeefer	@AndrewR_Physics Ahh; what options for click types are there? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:28
@JeffreyKeefer	Q4 What new things are you hoping to try in your courses this semester? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:29
@JeffreyKeefer	@AndrewR_Physics Are these clickers devices you bring in, or are they available via smartphone? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:29
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Sorry I’m late. I teach tonight & with bad weather & slow computer took a while to get online. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:31
@JeffreyKeefer	A4 I am planning to use Twitter more directly with my students #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:31
@JeffreyKeefer	A4 I will ask them to find people who are working in their research areas #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:31
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @AndrewR_Physics I have decided to use index cards instead of clickers but my students like both. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:32
@JeffreyKeefer	A4 I will also communicate more intentionally with my learners via Direct Tweets, something that makes phone texting obsolete #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:32
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Always glad to see you! #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:32
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer That’s a great idea. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:32
@AndrewR_Physics	@JeffreyKeefer #Adjunctchat Used to use Turning Point dedicated clicker system – more sophisticated – but cost $25-50 for clicker. Too much	9/2/2014 16:33
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 I think lots of people are in your same boat today, so to speak! #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:33
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I’m teaching speech presentation this semester. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:33
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @AndrewR_Physics I use index cards when I randomly assign groups; I write numbers and ask students to choose a card! #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:33
@JeffreyKeefer	@AndrewR_Physics Wow, that does sound clostly #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:34
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I’m going to try something I learned at uni retreat to assess level of knowledge of speech presentation. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:34
@AndrewR_Physics	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat I could use index cards, but Socrative does the counting for me #lazy Same principles!	9/2/2014 16:34
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer You have attributes that you ask students to categorize. Method of cat. will indicate level of knowledge of sub #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:35
@AndrewR_Physics	@JeffreyKeefer #Adjunctchat there are still other systems where they charge a subscription per course to the student. Not acceptable to me!	9/2/2014 16:36
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Great! What level? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:36
@Comprof1	@AndrewR_Physics @JeffreyKeefer That’s why I use index cards. keep price down. I do it with students groups. #adjunctchat Preview Q on BLS.	9/2/2014 16:37
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Can you give an example? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:37
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer It’s a gateway course. Problem w/ variety of skills & speaking experience. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:38
@AndrewR_Physics	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer #Adjunctchat At prev uni ALL first year sci courses agreed to use them. We got deal on price & students happy	9/2/2014 16:38
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I’ll give them speech problems (too long, not able to hear speaker, no gestures) then have students categorize #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:40
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Ahh, interesting #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:40
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Ahh, interesting #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:40
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Students that use physical/simple characteristics ( voice, movement) as categories not knowledgable #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:41
@LitProfSuz	#AdjunctChat Hi everyone. Wow, that was a fast summer!	9/2/2014 16:41
@JeffreyKeefer	Today’s #AdjunctChat topic is “What are you doing this year to keep your teaching fresh?” http://t.co/8ovnvNL5NX	9/2/2014 16:41
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Students that use >sophisticated (audience problems, rhetoric, style) will have deeper understanding of speech #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:42
@JeffreyKeefer	A4 I also hope my students will locate sources of evidence for questions they articulate, and then to ask them directly #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:42
@JeffreyKeefer	Q5 How will you determine if they are successful? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:42
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Summer? What summer!?!?! #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:43
@LitProfSuz	#AdjunctChat I am teaching 2 new to me courses and 2 famik ar courses. I want to be more intentional @ formative assessments	9/2/2014 16:43
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Between my FT job and the two courses I taught, I did not see any time off at all. I know, balance . . . #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:43
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I choose one thing each semester to work on/try out. More and I get overwhelmed. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:44
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Perfect! That is related to Q5! #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:45
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz I always start with outcomes, then design backwards. First what are goals/what I want them to be able to do. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:45
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 So your new thing this course is related to categorization, right? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:46
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 I have been using @Trello heavily in the past 3 weeks (thank you!), and want to explore that with my students, too #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:47
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz New courses are tough b/c it takes long to develop outcomes Once I have good goals/outcomes, course comes together #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:47
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @LitProfSuz Wow, do I sense an instructional design process here!?!? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:47
@LitProfSuz	#AdjunctChat A colleague & I will conduct a self-study of a new course. Thst should be interesting.	9/2/2014 16:48
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Correct. I’m going to try it 3 times this semester to see if learning is deeper. #adjunctchat 1st is tonight. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:48
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @LitProfSuz My teaching training was based on experiential learning. This is also what I taught my ed students. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:49
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz That sounds interesting. What methodology will you be using? What is the goal of the study? #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:50
@JeffreyKeefer	@JakeGrad @dpla Have not seen that resource before; can you talk about it? #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:51
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @LitProfSuz It also helps when everything goes south in class (i.e tech outage) to know where you were headed. #adjunctchat	9/2/2014 16:52
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Would love to hear more about it! #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:52
@JeffreyKeefer	I will need to leave #AdjunctChat on time tonight as my course begins in an hour.	9/2/2014 16:53
@JakeGrad	@JeffreyKeefer @dpla Sure. #AdjunctChat	9/2/2014 16:53

Transcript from #AdjunctChat 8/5/14 (with @JeffreyKeefer)

This is the transcript from #AdjunctChat on 8/5/14 that was facilitated by Jeffrey Keefer @jeffreykeefer.

The topic was:  What do you LIKE about adjuncting?

All are welcome to our next #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, August 19 (4:00pm EDT). The topic will be “Innovative Ways to Include the Collective Adjunct Voice in the National Higher Education Conversation” and will be hosted by @gusreview.

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?

@LitProfSuz	Hi #adjunctchat. I teach at 2 places, Adult Accelerated Humanities & Education. Now also editing.	8/5/14 16:11
@AdjunctChat	Today’s #AdjunctChat topic is “What do you LIKE about adjuncting?” and some background information is http://t.co/SXmUWI73Va	8/5/14 16:12
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	8/5/14 16:12
@Comprof1	@lindathestar One thing I like about adjuncting is I’ve been asked to teach a wide range of courses I wouldn’t have thought to. #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:12
@lindathestar	@Comprof1 We have a workshop guide but there is space for individual creativity eg icebreakers, case studies, examples. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:13
@JeffreyKeefer	@kristine_tx @JeffreyKeefer @pulaskitech @Blackboard That must make for some interesting teaching stories #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:13
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz What is adult accelerated humanities? Sounds interesting. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:13
@JeffreyKeefer	While some have already started, I want to make sure everybody can see our first Question to help guide our #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:14
@JeffreyKeefer	Q1: What do you like about being an adjunct, contingent, or sessional faculty member? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:14
@Comprof1	@lindathestar I sometimes feel I have more freedom in my class than tenure track faculty. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:14
@lindathestar	@Comprof1 I’ve taught about 6 subjects in Education & same in Public Health. Good variety. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:15
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 It is an accelerated bachelor degree for working adults in multiple subjects. I teach the Humanities courses. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:15
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I prefer visiting professor because I also had access to research funding and colleagues/conferences. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:16
@lindathestar	@Comprof1 Freedom in course or freedom to go home early when teaching is over? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:16
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Is it a cross discipline course? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:17
@JeffreyKeefer	A1 I like student interaction. My classes are graduate and doctoral, so I think of my learners as early-stage colleagues #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:17
@AdjunctChat	RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q1: What do you like about being an adjunct, contingent, or sessional faculty member? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:17
@Comprof1	@lindathestar Freedom in course. My current uni requires office hours & we get student evals which I need to continue contract. #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:18
@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer I’m trying to think of adjunct/casual specific benefits. Teaching’s overall benefit is the students! #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:18
@JeffreyKeefer	A1: I also like the access to the library and database resources #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:18
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I find when I have a good class of students, I enjoy learning from them. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:19
@injenuity	RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q1: What do you like about being an adjunct, contingent, or sessional faculty member? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:19
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 I teach Intro to Literature; English; Romantisim; Modernism; Contemporary Studies. Some are cross discipline #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:19
@JeffreyKeefer	A1: I like the entire teaching and learning process; while my courses are all applied, they do allow for some theory, too #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:20
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Last yr in my Speech Comm class, had a group of inner city 1st gen uni students. Really impressed w/ them #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:20
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Can you think of smething off-hand you have learned from your students? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:20
@lindathestar	@Comprof1 As a sex educator (which isn’t what I’m teaching) I warn them I use sex ed examples to make up for lack of SRE #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:20
@LitProfSuz	A1) Although it can be hectic, I like the challenge of picking up & designing new to me courses #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:20
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Learned what their life was like which is so diff than mine in small town/more rural NY. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:21
@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar Some people teach as an adjunct / casual for the money, too #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:21
@lindathestar	@Comprof1 It’s good to have freedom to use professional & life skills in teaching. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:21
@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar I KNOW the money is often not great, but I have heard of people supplementing FT work or retirement in this way #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:21
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer Yeah, I would be lost w/o these resources, limited though they r. Also have access to IRB to continue research #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:22
@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar I do not teach for the money; it is not quite enough to make it worth the time and effort. It is more a passion #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:22
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @lindathestar Can you talk more about this? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:23
@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer The money is paying my mortgage right now. Very handy. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:23
@LitProfSuz	A1) As a grad stdnt, it was good to get experience teaching in HE for CV #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:23
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @lindathestar I am proposing a new course, something I have been quite interested in teaching, and it is a gap now #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:24
@JeffreyKeefer	@kristine_tx What do you like about teaching as an #adjunct? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:24
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I used some of concepts from my dissertation & was able to get different perspective on group comm from discuss #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:24
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz A1: and now? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:24

@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Being flexible and open to exploring new topics is stimulating and fun. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:25
@LitProfSuz	A1) I like the more flexible schedule. Not expected to be an campus like FTT. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:25
@JeffreyKeefer	@robinyap Welcome to #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:25
@JeffreyKeefer	@robinyap Can you talk more about what you have in mind about knowledge transfer with students? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:26
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @lindathestar I love creating a new course.Sometimes difficult to convince dept head. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:26
@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 There is a freedom in not having tenure I could be risking by being adventurous. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:26
@Comprof1	@robinyap @JeffreyKeefer Your aha moments or students? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:27
@JeffreyKeefer	Q1: What do you like about being an adjunct, contingent, or sessional faculty member? #AdjunctChat #ECRchat #phdchat #auscasuals	8/5/14 16:27
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer Well, I have more than enough experience for my CV, but I am expanding my repertoire #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:27
@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Although if I had tenure I’d still want to be creative and pushing boundaries for best teaching #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:27
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Building CVs can be engaging, but can you talk more about why or how you are trying to expand it? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:27
@Comprof1	@lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer Or trying new courses that maybe don’t fit a single dept. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:28
@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar Ahh, the risks of freedom! #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:28
@JeffreyKeefer	Let’s proceed with Q2 #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:29
@JeffreyKeefer	Q2: What difference do you think your work and commitment makes? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:29
@lindathestar	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer I’m not sure if as a casual I could introduce a new course. There is one I see a need for… #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:29
@Comprof1	@lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer Me too. Different type of risk. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:29
@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar @Comprof1 Interesting how this seems to relate to the teaching vs. research dualism, if such a thing exists #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:30
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer Can’t say it is a plan,but I am frequently picking up new classes. I’m a generalist-can teach across disciplines #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:30
@JeffreyKeefer	@robinyap Remember to use the #AdjunctChat tag so everybody can see it!	8/5/14 16:30
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer The difference is purely for the students. Many say I’m the only one that knows their name. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:30
@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar @Comprof1 Have you considered suggesting it? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:30
@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Not paid for research or writing time as a casual 😦 #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:31
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer As a FTT, I might not get that opportunity to teach across areas. #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:31
@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 I should. You’ve inspired me now. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:31
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Many TT in dept have 100+ students and TA’s. Time only to get to know grad students #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:32
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Yes, those FTT faculty are often too focused to be broad #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:32
@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar @Comprof1 Excellent! Let us know how it goes!! #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:33
@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer I get great evaluations. I aim to develop good practitioners and encourage wide thinking. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:33
@Comprof1	@lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer Actually, new course always gives me a good excuse to do research (otherwise not paid for). #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:33
@JeffreyKeefer	A2: I think a difference I make with my students is I try to bridge the research / practice divide with my expertise in both #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:34
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Actually, Q2 is what makes me question continuing as adjunct. sometimes don’t feel there is any difference. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:34
@bgrassbluecrab	@Comprof1 @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer generally not paid for class prep either, though #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:35
@JeffreyKeefer	@bgrassbluecrab @Comprof1 @lindathestar Yes, this is not something to do for the money, alas. That is another conversation! #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:35
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Then again, lots of people do seem to get up and do their jobs every day without thinking about making a difference #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:36
@Comprof1	@bgrassbluecrab @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer True (although sometimes if specialized may get higher pay), but good excuse.#AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:36
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 A2: I thrive on mission-driven organizations and cultures, so that is what gets me out of bed in the morning #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:37
@JeffreyKeefer	@bgrassbluecrab Welcome to #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:37
@Comprof1	@bgrassbluecrab @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer I love research so if I need to research to teach a class, I don’t feel “stale” #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:37
@lindathestar	@JeffreyKeefer The difference I make for students is as a teacher – adjunct or not does not matter #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:37
@AdjunctChat	Q2: What difference do you think your work and commitment makes? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:37

@LitProfSuz	A2) As compared to my FTT advisor, I think I have more work/life balance. Less pressure, committees, campus time #adjunctchat	8/5/14 16:44
@Comprof1	@lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer You need to. Also I think its important for students to understand ed system & how it works. #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:44
@JeffreyKeefer	Q3: How do you reconcile this with the challenges being an adjunct faculty? #AdjunctChat	8/5/14 16:45
@4KM	May I drop in late to #AdjunctChat?	8/5/14 16:46

All are welcome to our next #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, August 5 (4:00pm EDT).

@Comprof1	#adjunctchat We’ll start soon. Today’s topic is best practices in mobile technology.	7/15/2014 15:56
@Comprof1	As you log into twitter for #adjunctchat can you introduce yourself and what your level of mobile tech knowledge is?	7/15/2014 16:00
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @Comprof1: #adjunctchat We’ll start soon. Today’s topic is best practices in mobile technology.	7/15/2014 16:00
@JeffreyKeefer	So glad that, even with the storms we have had in #NYC, I can still make it to #AdjunctChat today.	7/15/2014 16:01
@JeffreyKeefer	@Charlesknight @Blaise7 @MMstrikesback @melovell Great; you are always welcome! #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:01
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer knock on wood, the storms have stayed south for me. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:02
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 We do what we can! #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:04
@JeffreyKeefer	Today’s #AdjunctChat is about to begin on Best Practices with Mobile Tech with @Comprof http://t.co/fuF4PK9Ja9	7/15/2014 16:06
@Comprof1	While we wait for people to find us for #adjunctchat u might want to look at BLS’s trello planning for mobile learng https://t.co/8EanA3zjbK	7/15/2014 16:06
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 I have tried to use Trello, though somehow do not find it intuitive for projects #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:08
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 I have tried to use Trello, though somehow do not find it intuitive for projects #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:08
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Perhaps you will be able to shed some light on why not! #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:09
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Really? I find it very easy. Maybe its the way I think. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:10
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I found with my students, I gave assignment, with checklists. Then moved it as it came due. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:11
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I found with my students, I gave assignment, with checklists. Then moved it as it came due. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:11
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Are you a linear or spatial thinker? I tend to think spatially so trello works great. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:12
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Did you have your students use Trello with you? #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:12
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 I move back and forth; spatial when brainstorming and then linear once organized (and back if needed) #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:13
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Perhaps it is just the two of us for #AdjunctChat at this moment?	7/15/2014 16:14
@LitProfSuz	Hey #adjunctchat, seems a little quiet today. Polar vortex got your tongue?	7/15/2014 16:15
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Yes, I used it to share resources, class activities. Esp ones where students left class room #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:16
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I also had groups set up boards for long term projects. Helped them to learn to plan. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:16
@LitProfSuz	I haven’t specifically used mob tech, but am hoping to this summer. But just basic use – record & post pic/video #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:17
@Comprof1	Q 1: 1) Do you allow the use of mobile technology in your courses? Why or why not? #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:17
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Glad you could make it. Maybe just the storms. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:17

@AdjunctChat	RT @Comprof1: Q 1: 1) Do you allow the use of mobile technology in your courses? Why or why not? #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:19
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Is that in class or in general? Do you permit use of tablets, smart phones, or laptop in class? #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:19
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Hey, you! How are things these days? #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:19
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Perhaps you will show us a bit about how you use Trello with your classes . . . 😉 #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:19
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 A1) I don’t know enough about mobile tech to design activities around it. I use it all the time personally, though #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:20
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 A1: I use Twitter with my classes, though oddly find the uptake slow at times #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:20
@LitProfSuz	Hmm.. maybe a definition of mobile tech would be in order. I was just thinking smart phones. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:22
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Do you let your students take notes with it? So you feel that to allow use you need more knowledge of mobile tech? #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:23
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 I don’t require, nor mind technology in class. Though I have asked a few students to close Facebook #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:23
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @LitProfSuz I let my students use their devices in class as well #AdjunctChat #SCPSRPM	7/15/2014 16:23
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Good point. Mobile tech can be any device that is portable. laptops, cell phones in general (not just smart phones) #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:24
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Yeah, many students have some sort of tech. I intro Twitter as PLN for my pre-service teachers #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:24
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Ereaders can also be included in mobile devices. #adjunctchat Also, more recently smart pens.	7/15/2014 16:25
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer Do you activitly encourage them to use the devices? #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:26
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer Do you activitly encourage them to use the devices? #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:26
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer I found my students were looking up info more and more, so I decided to include that in class. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:26
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 Some students are getting used to having e-textbooks. They made others envious with search features! :^) #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:26
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz @Comprof1 I use Twitter as the base of my #PLN, though I do not use that term with my students #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:27
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Intro to Twitter is to help them develop professional networks, not so much about the technology #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:27
@Comprof1	Example of course use of trellis #adjunctchat http://t.co/HSNKHL0pz5	7/15/2014 16:29
@LitProfSuz	For Intro to Child lit, stds created blogs rather than paper bibliographies 4 required text sets to allow access for classmates #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:29
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer Misconception that “mobile tech” is about teaching the tech. I focus on mobility of learning #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:30
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @Comprof1: Example of course use of trellis #adjunctchat http://t.co/KoXxzKtxh2	7/15/2014 16:31
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer Mobile tech allows for learning outside classroom, support of learning w/ tech studnt own themselves #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:31
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Thanks for sharing that; can you unpack it a little? #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:31
@LitProfSuz	I use Blackboard @ 1 place & Angel @ other for online posting/discussion/etc. Feedback was I was 1 of only a few that did. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:31
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Is Trello the main tool you use online for projects and similar communication? #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:31
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer BTW first time I used my smartphone camera! #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:32
@KateMfD	Morning #AdjunctChat, here and listening.	7/15/2014 16:32
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer No. I also use http://t.co/3HcwqcCQdP and sometimes blackboard or facebook depending on student preference. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:33
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I’d put up previews of resources for class or after/during class resources students asked for or found helpful #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:34
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer I take pics of class activities/charts/white board & post for stds 2 access later. Surprises them! #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:34
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer That’s what my students do also. That is a good use of mobile tech. Also, notice studts do the same #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:36
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer Helps with flow of class for students who may want more detail. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:36
@Comprof1	Q2 What are some challenges in using mobile technology (especially for adjuncts/contingent faculty) #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:37
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer “Announcements” summarize class activities, post all handouts – absent Stdnts responsible to get it #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:37
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer I also use mobile tech to look things up on internet when I have something on projector. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:37
@JeffreyKeefer	@KateMfD As always, we love to have you! #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:38
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer Great use! Also a better use of your time. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:39

@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Yes. That’s why I would rather use something outside of uni’s options that I can take with me. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:40
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Yes. That’s why I would rather use something outside of uni’s options that I can take with me. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:40
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 A2 One challenge I faced over the years is a “NO” from administration; many are terrified of SoMe in the world #AdjunctChat #FERPA	7/15/2014 16:41
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz True. Although if you are teaching same course, you can replicate both. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:41
@Comprof1	@KateMfD Great to have you here. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:42
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 Stdts have expressed dislike of multiple platforms.Want 1 stop shopping for all classes.So, I don’t go outside uni’s #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:42
@Comprof1	A2) my problem is getting students to focus on me & my directions rather than relying on tech all the time. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:43
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 I haven’t been that fortunate. :^) #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:43
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz My explanation is they will never have the same platform for each job they go to. often multiple in same org. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:44
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz I told them they had to start learning new tech to stay current. Get used to it! #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:45
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz I find it unfortunate that the uni platform usually results in students losing access after the class finishes #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:46
@Comprof1	A2) I also find they expect me “on call” 24/7 Now I have online office hrs which seem to work. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:46
@KateMfD	The issue raised by many #auscasuals using mobile tech is time. #AdjunctChat	7/15/2014 16:47
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer In my places, they are open until student leaves or graduates. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:47
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @LitProfSuz True. Then they lose access to possible pieces for job portfolio. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:47
@Comprof1	I’m going to skip to Q4) What boundaries do/might you need to create for effective use of mobile technology with your students? #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:48
@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Good point. I hadn’t thought of that before. #adjunctchat	7/15/2014 16:48

@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

@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

@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

@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	@polypel88 A1 I am not sure that being an adjunct is a liminal place for everybody; some choose and choose to remain that way #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:14:24
@frankblues	@JeffreyKeefer Physicality is also a problem for scheduling, busy lives, and institutions with spread out campuses. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:15:06

@polypel88	A1: I would be intrigued to see a physical space where adjuncts gather. Just to observe. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:19:50
@JeffreyKeefer	A1 My adjunct support systems are Twitter focused and, ironically, do not include any adjuncts at the unis where I teach #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:20:06
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Actually I’ve found #adjunctchat #ecrchat #acwri and @ResearchGate have given me great support this semester.	6/10/2014 16:20:34
@JeffreyKeefer	Given that for those in North America and Europe we are approaching the summer, things begin to change #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:20:52

@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Welcome to #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:21:10

@JeffreyKeefer	@VCVaile @frankblues I would even say that communities are where you make them; we have to be actively involved! #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:31:40

@frankblues	@JeffreyKeefer @VCVaile Problematic when the communities are being created by the institution. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:32:51
@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
@Comprof1	Q2 also, many adjuncts/contingents out there. Not so resentful of those I’m competing for jobs with. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:33:03
@JeffreyKeefer	I sometimes think the #DivideAndConquer happens just by not have dept meetings or any structures for involvement #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:33:35
@VCVaile	@frankblues then create new ones of your own…virtual for the campus maybe…http://t.co/IVTpAyBpe1 #adjunctchat	6/10/2014 16:33:55

@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Also, not having transparency in hiring/termination results in #divideandconquer. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:35:57

@voicethread	@polypel88 @mgbaker22 Wow-that’s a lot of turbulence. In my experience, all the travel+late class times= disconnected feeling. #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:41:46
@JeffreyKeefer	A3 The irony is that the smaller a class I teach, the more I say and the more we discuss, and thus class takes longer! #AdjunctChat	6/10/2014 16:42:02

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 @JeffreyKeefer Same reaction I got from the assistance ppl. Then they look all sorry for me & I almost throw up #adjunctchat	6/3/14 16:37

@whowewilltobe	@VCVaile @GracieG @JeffreyKeefer Guess we’ll just have to stand right in front of their tunnel vision so they have to look. #AdjunctChat	6/3/14 16:45
@GracieG	@VCVaile @whowewilltobe @JeffreyKeefer I have to wonder anymore if it’s just not apathy. They think they’re safe…. #adjunctchat	6/3/14 16:45
@fabianbanga	@whowewilltobe @GracieG @JeffreyKeefer my exp is that most TT dont even think about this. they r in a gradsch set mentality #adjunctchat	6/3/14 16:46
@whowewilltobe	@VCVaile @JeffreyKeefer But they’re not, as you wrote, @GracieG: http://t.co/2gGmp8BGC6 #AdjunctChat	6/3/14 16:46

@JeffreyKeefer	@npmaven I find those niches to explore to be a challenge, as I feel I need to reproduce what I do everywhere #AdjunctChat	5/27/14 16:24

@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

@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

@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

@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

@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

@JeffreyKeefer	@lindathestar Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	5/20/14 17:18
@deborahbrian	A2 in Australia, we’re called “casual academics” or “sessional academics” or just “casuals” within #highered context #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@unicasual	@Comprof1 I’m curious about thatt too @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer @KateMfD #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@Comprof1	@KateMfD @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer It is in my experience. I was “internationalist” and “language” so in many depts. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@Acahacker	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Cross-disciplinarian here too! You have to be I think, esp if working as a sessional (another term!) #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:18
@KateMfD	@JeffreyKeefer Here we use “sessional” academics and, very commonly, “casuals”. “Adjuncts” refers to something else. #AdjunctChat	5/20/14 17:18
@fabianbanga	@NTEUNational welcome to #adjunctchat @KateMfD @UCUAnti_Cas @JeffreyKeefer	5/20/14 17:18
@VCVaile	the smaller the campus, the more likely we’ll teach more areas, like good garden mules ~ ride, drive, plow, snake logs #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
@Comprof1	@KateMfD @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer Also helps to piece together enough work. #adjunctchat	5/20/14 17:18
