On my professional Twitter account I really enjoyed in class how we used it to take our quiz. Since I am familiar with Twitter I was able to understand easily what and how to use it. I also liked how we use the hashtag with the class name so it was easy to follow the conversations that were going on while taking the quiz.
In teaching and learning I could see how Twitter could become very useful in a classroom. If the entire class was using it, it would be easy to follow conversations in the class if you missed class one day or if you wanted to add in your opinion as well. Teachers, students, and facility members could communicate very easily and quickly. I find it very useful in teaching and communicating back in forth with your students. I also find it useful because if you know that your students are on twitter and like to use it, more school work might get done because they will be on something that they like and like to do.
I believe that having students use technology such as Twitter will be such a great resource towards learning. Students these days love technology enough as it is. Putting it into the classroom will definitely be conducive towards learning.
ReplyDeleteI think using twitter in the classroom would be a great idea to keep the classroom connected. Students could ask question about content or if they missed a class other students would be able to help.
ReplyDeleteI liked using twitter in the class too, it was good to set aside the traditional classroom procedures of lectures and notes
ReplyDeleteI agree that Twitter would help students and teachers help communicate in a very quick way if needed. I also think it's a great way to keep the classroom interested and connected!
ReplyDeleteI like your comment about having the entire class uses it, and if you miss class you can still see what you missed in class. I believe it is a good tool to implement in the classroom.
