• Ways to Use Twitter in the Classroom • By [|Carol S.][|Holzberg] http://blog.masterteacher.com/2011/06/20/ways-to-use-twitter-in-the-classroom/ • Monday, June 20th, 2011 • Here are some ideas to try using a class Twitter account you set up for student use. • e-Pals: Have students in one class communicate with electronic pen pals in another class. • Rolling stories: Students add a 140-character sentence or two to a continuing story for a designated period of time through tweets. If the project involves peers from classes in other schools or countries, it can broaden sociocultural and geopolitical awareness. • Summaries: Students read an article, listen to a podcast, attend a presentation, watch a movie, or go on a class outing, then tweet a sentence or two summarizing highlights or important points. • “Time Tweet”: Students choose a famous historical person (e.g., Louis XIV, Tutankhamun, Sir Isaac Newton, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Carrie Chapman Catt, Madame Curie), create a twitter account for that historical figure and, while role-playing, post tweets that remain true to the cultural context and vocabulary of the time period (Wheeler, 2009). Alternatively, instead of being a person, students could be an animal, insect, plant, flower, and so on. • Foreign language practice: Create a dedicated twitter account to send tweets in the foreign language of study (Net Savoir, 2009). • photo © 2009 [|Eduardo][|Otubo] | [|more info](via: [|Wylio]) • Share a website link: Tweet the URL with a brief one-line description of the site. Twitter uses TinyURL to shorten the link so that it doesn’t take up too many of the 140 characters. • Have two opponents engage in a debate: Focus on issues such as American Independence (1776), capital punishment, abolition of slavery (1865), voting rights, national health care, and so on. You could set up a new twitter account with the name of the topic (Barrett, n.d.). • Word of the day: Send out a word with a brief definition and have students use it in a sentence that they send back in a tweet. • Brainstorm ideas: Tweets appear in real time as students post them, so you could have a class discussion and keep a record of what was suggested without anyone taking notes. • Follow the news: News sources such as CNN ([|cnnbrk]), New York Times ([|nytimes], [|nytlite], [|nytimesphoto]), CBS News ([|CBSNews]), and FOX News ([|foxnews], [|foxnewsbrk]) have Twitter accounts for up-to-the-minute news. Other news agencies have Twitter accounts as well. If you follow their tweets, you could start each day with a brief discussion of a late-breaking story to keep students current about what is happening in the world on that day. • Follow these Twitter accounts: [|pbsteachers] (resources for teachers), [|pbskids], [|NASA], [|PBSNature], [|NATGEOSOCIETY] (National Geographic Society). Each one posts interesting news and content-related facts. • Make Twitter more useful: A number of applications are available to give Twitter more features, such as: • Twirl – [|www.twhirl.org] • Twitterrific ­­– [|http://twitterrific.com] • Twitter Search – [|http://search.twitter.com] with its own list of Search operators [] • Explore these add-ons to enhance your Twitter experience. • Sources: Barrett, T.
