*New Feature*

Hi Everyone!

Heidi here! Just a reminder that there is no formal #kinderchat tonight! I think we've all earned a week off for *Spring Break* 2011 to recharge. I know Amy will be cocktailing around the hashtag tonight introducing her colleague to the wild world of twitter we all love.

While having formal topic rotations to hang our hats on provides an important focus, so too is "playtime" and unstructured time. That said, we are introducing our newest feature

POT O' GOLD

If you haven't yet noticed, topics are colour coordinated by the rainbow

Red: Reflection and Assessment

Orange: Work

Yellow: Classroom Life

Green: PLAY

Blue: Special Topic TBD

Indigo: Professional Life

Violet: Technology

and now....drum roll please!

POT O' GOLD

basically a no-topic, cocktail, informal time to chat! We'd like to extend an invite to companies and products to participate- great time to run a special! So join us for our prequel tonight!

The first POT O' GOLD is scheduled for April 18!

See! You can find the end of the rainbow! Right here on #kinderchat!

Color Coding

Hi Everyone,
Just want to explain the color coding system for topics:

Violet: Technology Talk
Indigo: Professional Life
Blue: Special Topic
Green: Play 
Yellow: Classroom Life
Orange: Academic Subjects
Red: Reflection and Assessment

We hope this insures we cover a range of topics and creates balance to our discussions as well as prevent last minute scurries on our parts or weekly voting polls on yours. We pull topics from #kinderchat conversations and are always happy to add requests to the queue. Thanks again for your wonderful contributions and for being the awesome professionals you are each day.
Double rainbow! All the way!
Love,
Heidi
