Where C21st educators connect

Using Twitter in a USA Classroom

Dr. Rankin, professor of History at UT Dallas, wanted to know how to reach more students and involve more people in class discussions both in and out of the classroom. She had heard of Twitter... She collaborated with the UT Dallas, Arts and Technology - Emerging Media and Communications (EMAC) http://www.emac.utdallas.edu faculty and as a Graduate student in EMAC I assisted her in her experiment and documented it for a digital video class with Professor Dean Terry, @therefore, and a collaboration and content creation course with Dan Langendor, @dlangendorf.

Comment by Simon Bainbridge on July 4, 2009 at 11:48am: Unable to use Twitter in the classroom of norfolk schools, UK as it is blocked by the County's firewall. This is a great shame as it is a fantastic collaborative learning / communication tool.

Comment by Russell Prue on July 4, 2009 at 11:50am: You can change this Simon - I am working again with Norfolk in Sept this year to push home the Granular Filtering that each school needs to have - Norfolk tell me that they are offering some user defined filtering already - you should already be able to configure your filtering to enable Twitter.
