5 Ways Twitter Has Changed Education (happy birthday, Twitter!)
In honor of Twitter’s birthday: here’s a great list to remind us how social media is enhancing our potential in the classroom. I particularly like #5:
“5. CAPTURES CONVERSATIONS: The twitters in the back of the classroom used to be seen as distractions and disruptions. By using Twitter, many educators are finding ways to capture these “backchannel” conversations, harnessing rather than silencing conversations that occur during lectures and presentations by taking instant polls and asking for feedback through Twitter.”
