How one professor and students use twitter to drive class discussion participation

@hnoore681 Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to keep in mind of those who don't have an account, and those who don't want to have one. That's when UDL comes into play. I am also exploring https://grouptweet.com/blog/step-by-step-guide-to-managing-a-classroom-twitter-account-with-grouptweet.

@chreych I am always curious about this. Since twitter is free, if they do not have an account - can't we ask them to create one for use in the classroom?

Inspiring videos!

This however is changing, as more and more young and older people become aware of the online model.

This week on New Tech City we're talking MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses that major universities and newly formed education companies are offering for FREE (and that's no acronym). Hundreds of thousands of people around the globe are taking these classes. Could this be the future of higher-level degrees?

My students hate writing, especially in math. To create a happy medium I decided to integrate the use of micro-blogging into my classroom to motivate my students to begin to at least use mathematical language in class.

Tools, Technology and Techniques To Keep Your Online Students Engaged In a face-to-face class, students have numerous opportunities to interact with their instructor and fellow students. Creating similar opportunities for collaboration in a web-based course is one of the biggest challenges of teaching online.

I have used Poll Everywhere, Padlet, Google Docs/Forms for checking students' group work in class, but I've always wanted a simple tool that takes a second for students to complete and another second for me to check their completion but a tool where students don't get to "cheat" by peeking at what other groups are writing because they can't see what other students are typing until they post their answers!
