- 10. • ‘Twit Board’– Notify students of changes to assignments, schedules, venues or other important information. • ‘Summing Up’ – Ask students to read an article or chapter and then post their brief summary or précis of the key point(s). A limit of 140 characters demands a lot of academic discipline. • ‘Twit Links’ Share a hyperlink – a directed task for students – each is required to regularly share one new hyperlink to a useful site they have found. • ‘Twitter Stalking’ – Follow a famous person and document their progress. Better still if this can be linked to an event (During the recent U.S. Presidential elections, many people followed @BarackObama and kept up to date with his speeches, etc). Twitter
- 11. • ‘Time Tweet’– Choose a famous person from the past and create a twitter account for them; pick an image which represents the historical figure and over a period of time write regular tweets in the role of that character, in a style and using the vocabulary you think they would have used (e.g. William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar). • ‘Micro Meet’ – Hold discussions involving all the subscribing students. As long as everyone is following the whole group, no- one should miss out on the Twitter stream. All students participate because a sequence of contributors is agreed beforehand. Twitter
- 12. Blogs • Teachers canuse classroom blogs to engage students in discussions during and after the usual school day. • They can post topics for discussion, additional classroom notes or information, classroom assignments and much more. • A classroom blog will allow students to interact with their peers and teachers on a continual basis beyond the usual 45-90 minute class period.
