Twitter can be an excellent way to incorporate social media into your classroom, while also reaching your students with a tool most of them may already be using.
Interested in trying twitter in your classroom? A recent article, 13 Creative ways to use Twitter in the Classroom, included some great ideas that we thought were worth sharing.
Take a look:
1. Summarize Your Lecture
At the end of the class, ask your students to summarize whatever they perceived from the current lecture and tweet it at their profiles. This will allow you to evaluate the level of understanding within your students while improving their writing skills.
2. Message Students And Parents Directly
Email filters and scans often make an important message end up in a trash folder. Through Twitter, you can easily direct your messages to the concerned person directly.
