      Has anyone tried this - using twitter or mass texting to remind students or work? Have you felt it was successful? What problems have you encountered? And... did it help students get their work done?
  • Mouse Mischief works in tandem with Microsoft PowerPoint, allowing teachers to include interactive elements like multiple choice questions in their presentations. Students, using wireless or wired USB mice, click their answers in real time. It’s an easy tool for student engagement, and Microsoft has made management simple for teachers by enabling single-click commands and teacher controls that disable mice and set timers,

      We don't use Twitter but students & parents are welcome to login to our teacher pages and view a copy of our assignment sheet for a particular week. We've been doing this for a year now & I like it. It works.

    I am not a teacher, but I can see how using Twitter could be useful at reminding students about upcoming assignments, projects, or tests. The only thing I'd be concerned about is making sure students don't reply with inappropriate messages that all students could see. I don't have Twitter so I wouldn't know if there's a way that you can approve only certain messages or prevent any similar problems.

    I really like the technology known as Mouse Mischief. I had never heard of it. I like that it can be used with a PowerPoint presentation and the technology required isn't excessive or expensive at all. All students can follow along by answering questions throughout the instructor's lesson. The instructor would get feedback on how well the students are understanding the material after they have finished answering the questions. The only downside that I can see is that students may just mess around with the mouse throughout the lesson, but this can be addressed with classroom management. Great technology!

    I enjoyed reading about Mouse Mischief. I am certainly suggesting this to my colleagues teaching 4-6th grade. I am a first grade teacher and use technology, however, I have not used Twitter and/or Mouse Mischief. I think both may be too advanced for my students but great ideas for upper grades. At our school, 4-6th grade teachers allow their students, on occasion, to use their cell phones and/or other devices to complete assignments. I think it's a great idea and keeps students engaged and learning in a manner in which they are very familiar with.

    I'm not certain how my profile pic ended up on this article. I do apologize! I cannot take credit for this great article but do appreciate it being shared. If anyone can figure out how to delete my pic or give me instructions on how to delete it, I would greatly appreciate it. My apologies!!!

    Hi Rosalyn! My comments are coming up under the wrong articles, too. This article that mentions Mouse Mischief is really helpful. I can tell this is going to be a great course.

    Yes. This is really strange that it's coming up as you being the owner - thanks for pointing it out Rosalyn. No idea how to change it back to me.

    Your kid spent half of math class with his cell phone out, tweeted his way through Spanish and came home only to spend an hour on a social networking site-and he swears it's homework. Delinquency run amok? Think again. Before you start revoking phone and computer privileges, read up on how classrooms are capitalizing on new media with their tech-savvy audiences.
