A Twitter Chat is a scheduled, organized topical conversation on Twitter centralized around a specific hashtag. Twitter Chats provide an opportunity for people, professionals and organisations around the world to share their opinions and make new connections. Anyone can participate and you do not need to be an expert, as all perspectives do matter!
To take part chat you need to:
1. Create a Twitter Account
2. Follow us at: www.twitter.com/rehabforallsa
3. Log in to your account at the designated time and wait for the questions from Rehab For All South Africa. Respond to them with your answers when they come up using the relevant code (T1, T2, T3) and ending with the hashtag #RehabForAllSA.
4. To follow the chat: Click the # button on the sidebar and type #RehabForAllSA in the search bar. Continue refreshing to see new tweets. Tweet your answers as normal on your own profile starting with the relevant code ( T1, T2, T3) and ending with #RehabForAllSA so that they will appear in the feed.
5. In addition to tweeting or following, you can also reply to and retweet others. The whole idea is to learn, share ideas and make new connections!
