I've started doing some research on how to use it in the classroom. One thing I think I like the best is to create a chat session for help with homework. I wouldn't plan on doing this every night because it would get too time consuming. I would maybe pick a day of the week and a time for students to bring any questions they may have. I also like the idea of maybe posting a weekly extra credit problem or riddle that students could work on. They would be optional, but I would have them due maybe on Mondays. I also like the idea of posting upcoming due dates or test dates. And if we have a test coming up, I would post a review question daily for the week leading up to the test.
Again I am very new to Twitter, but I really like these ideas and would like to start implementing them next year. I think the kids would really like it. What are ways you use Twitter for your classrooms? I would love to hear more ideas to broaden my horizons.

ReplyDeleteI think the idea of a twitter chat for a homework session is an excellent idea. I really think students would like it, and parents might also connect to learn together.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I also like the home work tweets idea as well as the questions for test preparations. I love the ideas that you shared of tweeting riddles and extra credit quesitons to help your students to be more engaged in the subject matter. I can see the students, and parents working on the riddles together.
