      Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad to see an article that takes a data-driven approach to assessing classroom SM use.
  •  
    A great article by Lara Lomicka which discusses the role of Twitter in an intermediate French class, in which students tweeted weekly with each other and with native French speakers. I think adding collaboration with native French speakers brings new potential uses to Twitter.

10 Social Media Tips for Reaching World Language Learners | Edutopia - 4 views

  • Micro-blogging via Twitter is another way to link students outside of class. Let's be honest -- there are not many young people out there who do not already tweet. You can use Twitter in class in a similar fashion to blogging. If you do, I strongly suggest that you use TweetDeck to efficiently manage your students' tweets. I also love having students tweet a story. You start by tweeting the first line of the story based on the unit you are studying.

    This article from The Guardian discusses the impact of the government decision to lower the requirements for learning a world language based on the belief that, once the England leaves the EU, other languages won't be necessary.
