=**Welcome to the Middle School (#midleved) Chat Archive**=

Please put your ideas for chats here.

 * We used to chat Fridays at 8 PM Eastern** / 7 PM Central / 6 PM Mountain / 5 PM Pacific. **Would love somebody to pick up the ball and continue the chat - just start tweeting using the #midleved hashtag and suggest a time.**

Just follow #midleved. (An easy way is to have a column for #midleved set up in Tweetdeck, or Tweetgrid.com. Tip: In Tweetgrid, you can set it to automatically add the #midleved hashtag to all your tweets, which means your tweets will be part of the chat stream and everybody will see them - but sometimes hard to remember to do when you get into the conversation)
