Twitter in the classroom?

Some universities are using aspects of Web 2.0 ( aka "the read-write web") to enhance teaching and learning. Check out this article, "Embracing the Twitter Classroom."

An interesting idea to try:
- have each of your students sign up for twitter accounts, and have them post comments during lecture... be sure to have a screen open to show the comments... this can help keep students engaged, as they read the comments of their classmates, and their own, on screen...

Read more about using Twitter in the Chronicle of Higher education article, "Professor Encourages Students to Pass Notes During Class -- via Twitter."
