  • allowing students to answer questions via Twitter rather than raising their hands
  • This greatly aids studying, too, as they can easily refer back via dedicated classroom hashtags.
  • an excellent way for his students to continue class discussions after they’ve already ended
  • far easier to tweet changes, cancellations and other important announcements.
  • many students use Twitter now to alert their teachers about when they’ve finished their work
  • The 140-character limit offers a nice little challenge for students, and innovative educators and authors like have taken notice.
  • Word, trend or hashtag tracking:
  • ask them to actually tweet a response and open a discussio
  • Take notes:
  • For high schoolers and the college crowd, this assignment might very well help them discover some personal career goals.
  • Share a story:
  • The first tweets a sentence, the next builds off of it and so forth; try assigning a hashtag to make reading everything faster.
  • Keep parents informed: When teaching the younger set, parents may like to follow along with what’s going on in their children’s day. Keep a Twitter feed updating them about the different lessons and activities as they happen for greater engagement between the home and the classroom.
  • For kids just learning about distance, this makes for a lovely way to get them to know more about where everything is in relation to their own cities and towns.
  • ______ of the day: No matter the class, a vocabulary word, book, song, quote or something else “of the day” might very well make an excellent supplement to the day’s lesson. When teaching younger kids, tell their parents about the Twitter feed and encourage them to talk about postings at home.
  • A common hashtag and communicative network is all it takes to share insight and recommendations.
  • Keep up with current events: Similarly, educators can set up lists with different news sources, allowing their students to stay on top of current events. Separate them by field for quicker access and even more comprehensive organization.
  • Set up a communal hastag for students and professionals alike to use and exchange their views and lessons.
  • Host a Twitter scavenger hunt: For fun and education, get students moving and organize a sort of Twitter scavenger hunts — maybe even see if other classrooms or professionals want to get involved. As with many of the projects listed here, such an activity can easily be applied to a wide number of grade levels and academic subjects.
  • Not only does it help them reflect on their lessons and their world, but it also serves as a nice, guided introduction to social media.
  • Help students get their names out: College professors hoping to nurture the professional future of their juniors and seniors might like the idea of teaching them the role of social media in job hunting. Business students into the whole “personal branding” fad will particularly benefit from comprehensively exploring such things.

    This would be helpful in the classroom because it shows different ways of using technology in each subject. Having that available to teachers is a good way to get them to start integrating technology into their classrooms. It will also help the students to learn how to correctly use certain pieces of technology.

  • Last semester, Tomarken also faced another problem – the lack of a good textbook for teaching structural equation modeling to social science students – that he solved using technology. “There is no book that is perfect, that really is appropriate, for this class. There are either books that tend to be too easy or too hard or just not broad enough in scope.” Tomarken solved this problem using the Prometheus system, by placing his lecture notes on the web. This not only replaced the textbook, it allowed students to spend more time focused on the lecture and less time copying formulas from the board. “I told them, you don’t have to write anything, it’s all on the web, just listen.”

  • Reasons for Integrating Technology When done effectively, technology has a positive impact on student learning. It can: Increase student motivation for learning Improve communication of learning goals Facilitate higher-order thinking skills Build valuable skills that students will use in college and in the workplace Expand students' understanding from novice to mastery There is no denying that computer technology has become as commonplace as the telephone in American society. To make learning relevant to students, this reality needs to be acknowledged in the form of technology-based lessons.

  • Though today’s students are immersed in technology, they do not always have the skills to use this tool in the most effective, efficient, and safest ways. This class helps you teach students “new literacies” to successfully navigate the abundance of unfiltered information. Learn how to facilitate inquiry-based projects and guide students in content creation to meet important learning goals.

  • ways in which these tools be used in the classroom. I’ve purposely gone for variety here, to reflect the reality of the world we all live and work in - we see teachers who work at different education levels, and some videos that are quite professional mixed with some that are more casually produced. Following those are a few videos that help to provide technical insight into these systems, and answer the question, “What does it take to install and configure and SMART Board?”
