社交媒体正在从根本上改变各个行业的核心做法。尽管调查表明，社交媒体正在影响社会科学家，但我们对教育学者，特别是教育学者如何利用社交媒体进行工作或专业学习知之甚少。这篇文章探讨了教育学者如何将社交媒体Twitter作为会议的秘密渠道。使用从美国教育研究协会(AERA)成员收集的定性访谈数据，并考虑到之前对AERA会议推文数据的分析，我们描述了参与者的目的和做法，以及他们对使用社交媒体如何影响会议社区参与的看法。我们讨论了对那些关心研究传播、教师专业发展和学术认同的人的影响。
Social media are fundamentally changing core practices in various industries. Although surveys indicate that social media are impacting social scientists, we know little about how education scholars, specifically, use social media for their work or professional learning. This article explores how educational scholars incorporated the social media, Twitter, as a conference backchannel. Using qualitative interview data collected from members of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and considering previous analysis of AERA conference tweet data, we describe participants' purposes and practices and their perceptions of how using this social media impacts participation in the conference community. We discuss implications for those concerned with research dissemination, faculty professional development, and academic identity
