Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I think that is a pretty unique idea! I wish more OT conferences will have that! #otalk
🇺🇦🇵🇸💙CleanAirNoKings! @CrnchyMama
[REDACTED USER] YES! And if OK *now,* revisit when they're older; they change their minds when they hit their teens. BTDT. :-) #OTalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
I loved the idea and that blogging promoted. Not read I'm afraid but I'm not an OT! #otalk
@smileyfacehalo
@OTalk_ #otalk great idea to blog conference, makes it accessible e.g. If on mat leave, can't afford it, unwell, unable to be released from work etc
@LynneGoodacre
When I pitched the idea I wasn't sure of response but you guys at #OTalk & conf team were fab at saying let's give it a go
@smileyfacehalo
@OTalk_ #otalk slightly jealous other sessions got blogged and mine didn't.... makes me want to work harder to get chosen to be blogged!
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
I couldn't attend #COT2017 so the blog squad was a great way to feel part of the action #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
@OTalk_ I follow the conference tweets and always feel I can pull useful info #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Yes- an alternative means for people who have not caught on the Twitter for CPD bandwagon. #otalk https://t.co/RcjZN7bJn9

@LynneGoodacre
Also need to give shout out to @kevwyke who taught me all about blog squads and shared ideas of how it might work #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@smileyfacehalo @OTalk_ But I think this also has to do with topics of interest for the bloggers. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk Q2. Do you regularly follow individual bloggers? https://t.co/40wRTZ9hVT
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
Just had a quick look at the blogs - fantastic! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@dianecox61 @OTalk_ I think another OT one from the states is @otpotential #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT

[REDACTED USER] That's interesting. A lot of OTs I talk to don't know about following conference # - such a shame. Do you know the % spit #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
I follow Berene Brown and Tara MOhr for personal dev. and some great research related blogs #OTAlk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ OT specific... but for a time in my clinical doctorate... I did for autistic SU's and their caregivers. #otalk
@smileyfacehalo
@LynneGoodacre #otalk Brene brown? She's amazing.....
@LynneGoodacre
I think you need to be clear about what you want to read otherwise it is over whelming. Check a few out at a time #OTAlk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
@OTalk_ I follow ones OT and mental health blogs #OTalk

Another tip if you find a blog you like see who they recommend and follow #OTAlk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @OTalk_: #OTalk TOP TIP! https://t.co/endrEr4KnS
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] Thanks. That's interesting - still quite low numbers for national conference :( we need to increase confidence in OTs #OTalk
Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019
@OTalk_ OT Specific; Sewing & Crafting. Combining both to address SPD. Weighted blankets are my current focus. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LynneGoodacre Definitely- learned that from my clinical doctorate experience. Have to know what to look for. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] I think this is a global problem that will take a good while... can't be done overnight. #otalk
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
Bit late to #OTalk but am here!
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] And we also need to increase buy-in from OT's in utilizing such formats to promote our profession. #otalk
Orla @orlatheot
@OTalk_ Yes, I've found some OT blogs through twitter and loads of travel blogs through instagram #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
I used to do that sometimes for people. I think that experience is fun! #otalk https://t.co/cyFVif1tGT

Those weren't from the conference they were just from last Thursday I think [REDACTED USER] said #OTAlk https://t.co/DAxBXSFLwA
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I'm hoping to find some good SU blogs to recommend to our students - will you let me know if you think of any appropriate ones #OTalk
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
I follow general OT blog, SU blogs and browse occupational therapy tags in tumblr! #OTalk
@smileyfacehalo
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre #otalk something about draw strength from the chaos, resonates with the pragmatic voice within!
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] Better stats :) #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] Leaving some time at the end to share recommendations. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think I read a good few a few years ago on #autism... but now I forgot how updated they are now. #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Be clear about what you want to achieve #OTAlk it takes a lot of time and effort https://t.co/SiIzyFRtSk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Same goes with our social media uses too! #otalk https://t.co/7gC9RAYdRq
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk Q5. Have you previously engaged in blogging? Why did you stop? https://t.co/1qA0oxeKvS
#OTalk @OTalk_
@MillennialOT [REDACTED USER] we are leaving some time at the end to share blogs.... #OTalk
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I'm BDCT and mention #OTalk and blogging quite a bit. Hoping to feedback my experience blogging at #COT2017 in team meeting!
@LynneGoodacre
Now this is where I get stretched @Ailsa_Claire tags on tumblr #OTalk ????? https://t.co/XpRFnv9Wt5
@smileyfacehalo
@OTalk_ Q5 #otalk never blogged, need a basic tutorial on how to do it being honest!
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
@OTalk_ I use to but stopped as not sure of direction I was going! Might start again once settled in my new post as it might help me focus! #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
@LynneGoodacre @Ailsa_Claire Tags on tumblr - beyond my digital capabilities but might look into it ! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
I do similar things except from my perspective. #otalk https://t.co/9AtsHnBy45
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
@LynneGoodacre Tumblr is another site that is good for blogging and allows you to reblog others - it's very good for SU perspective and humour! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk (oops missed this one) Q4. Are you currently blogging? Please share why you blog. Tip tips for blogging. https://t.co/ezOI1Hm6fU
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
[REDACTED USER] I think tumblr is a good intro to blogging as you can reblog articles as well as posting your own. And provides me with memes! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk https://t.co/VAII48AJZZ
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I think finding a good frequency is key. Now I have found once every week or other week is about right for me. #otalk
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @Ailsa_Claire Just asked my teenager - she says I'm not ready for tumblr 😱 #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_

@LynneGoodacre
Q4 yes blog in a regular basis at https://t.co/J4Vfatcnlu #OTAlk main focus coaching approach to personal dev. and all things research
@mrsmcinburtott
@smileyfacehalo @OTalk_ Yes any pointers for basic instructions would be useful. Trying to promote to students but need to feel comfortable myself first #OTalk
Orla @orlatheot
@OTalk_ #Otalk I used to blog but I didn't know who my audience was. Aim it for OTs to read or for the general public to promote the profession?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I know- sounds quite opposite to my Twitter and regular Facebook strategies... haha! #otalk
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I think if you can stay on the tags/searches you're safe! it's if you wander off! Also if in work make use the safe search option!😲 #OTalk
@mrsmcinburtott
[REDACTED USER] Hoping to encourage students to engage in blogs for reflection #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Hope is important in SU world, IMHO. #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Some are def. but many aren't, there are many brilliant learning resources being blogged about #OTAlk https://t.co/5eAOsqHF3o
Orla @orlatheot
@OTalk_ #Otalk I have my first post in the pipeline #watchthisspace
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] I think carryover from initial semester/trimester of introduction is key. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] In terms of Twitter for CPD, the results are mixed and some programs tend to show poor follow up. #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Really important point @orlatheot who am I writing for #OTAlk and what do they want to know https://t.co/BYrRzze11Z
@mrsmcinburtott
@BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] We have a strategy in the programme but always looking to increase students digital literacy capabilities #OTalk

@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] I think creative incentives for practitioners to engage with students will be good. #otalk
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
@mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] We were often encouraged to look at blogs/get SU's perspective! It really helped in a classroom setting when you don't have a SU #OTalk

#OTalk Q6. Have you been inspired by the Blog Squad or this evening chat to return to or start blogging? https://t.co/3KB4q7AoVh
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Ailsa_Claire @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] And hopefully more programs see that I am one of the go-to sources on #autism. #otalk
Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
I think twitter is helping me to stay involved in social media whilst trying to figure out exactly what I will blog about! #OTalk https://t.co/U2YpEM0Puf
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q2. #OTalk https://t.co/Jmr7CGpzuj
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@smileyfacehalo @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] But not for those who have caught on that bandwagon yet. We still have some late adopters. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@smileyfacehalo @mrsmcinburtott [REDACTED USER] And tweeting during conference is still novel concept to many. #otalk

@OTalk_ #OTalk I have been thinking about this for some time, I have even downloaded Wordpress but just need the time.

[REDACTED USER] #otalk q6 would consider blogging at next conference
Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019
@OTalk_ Yes. As a student & to raise awareness about diversity, Im launching https://t.co/STvxCbkZUo on 8/19. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] If it's from my experiences with blogging, I will say it's important to not share too much too fast! #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
There will never be enough time @SamOTantha if it is calling you strongly enough you need to do it #OTAlk waiting for time it won't happen https://t.co/HDTyyNpsej
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Ruthia_M @OTalk_ I think you have to find subjects you are passionate about. That can help a lot! #otalk

Ailsa Mulligan @Ailsa_Claire
@orlatheot @MillennialOT @OTalk_ I think I'm going to stick with tumblr for now as it allows flexibility but might move it to wordpress when I know what I'm doing! #OTalk
