The story began with a single online poll which asked educators of their preferred weekly time to participate in these Twitter based discussions, with Thursday’s at 8pm proving the most popular time, using the #ukedchat hash tag.
Since then, the Social Enterprise initiative has grown, incorporating a school leadership and teaching vacancy promotion service; the popular free monthly UKEd Magazine, which is available in print and online; a bank of free resources for teachers to use in the classroom; and continued professional development inspiration for teachers and schools.
UKEdChat is supported by UKEd Media Limited, continuing to produce weekly synchronised Twitter chats for educators via the #UKEdChat hashtag.
Supporting teachers, schools and educational suppliers, the UKEd Directory is building the capability to connect people according to interest, specialisms or geographic locations.
The UKEd.Careers promotion service supports schools by advertising school leadership and teaching vacancies via social media, allowing prospective applicants to find opportunities when they may not have realised that they were looking for a new job.
The popular UKEdMagazine (monthly readership over 20,000 unique readers) continues to produce an online and printed edition focusing on pedagogy, classroom resources and innovation.
The UKEd.Academy plans to build online resources and courses to support the UKEdChat community, providing Continuing Professional Development in support of key learning outcomes required for educators.
VISION STATEMENT
UKEdChat is an online community-based project that aims to engage with educators, promoting the benefits of online collaborations, sharing practice and professional development through access to networks, news and resources.
We are a Social Enterprise Initiative, as we look to benefit teaching communities for the benefits of the pupils in their learning journey.
We seek to develop and expand our role in supporting educators to access networks, news and resources relevant to improving quality of education, by working with and in partnership with teachers and organisations.
We will continue to be innovative in response to the needs of educators, and forward thinking in the means by which it develops a sustainable community-based organisation.
This site has been created to support the #ukedchat community, which is Twitter based. We make no attempt to claim ownership of the hash tag, as it is purely a community tool, via online services and the UKEdMagazine. The community was organically built by educators, and this remains at the core of how we operate.
