The topics:
T1: How does your use of social media differ when you are acting as you (the individual) and you (the institution)? 
T1a Are your personal social media boundaries different than when you are acting as your institution? 
T1b: Do “you” share the same kind of content that “you/org” shares? If no, then how is it different? 
T2: What words would you use to describe an effective social media “voice?” 
T2a: Can you think of any examples, churchy or otherwise, of an effective social media voice? 
T2b: What can we learn from these effective uses of voice in social media? 
T3:  How can we monitor our voice? How can we know/track the way we're being perceived? 
T3a: What can we do to fix it when we have a #chsocm voice misstep?

Bonus Round! I've had fun playing with Snapchat recently. Any new fave social media platforms to recommend? 

This week's chat moderated by Caroline Clement (@singingcarolyn), 
who also created this Wordle based on T2
