Twitter in the classroom?

Where can we find out more about how the curriculum or learning outcomes are being expressed via twitter and Facebook activities? What are the kinds of activities which are being used? But, overall, great approach!

If you're a teacher, you could try contacting Cynthia Lewis (the researcher in the video).

subcribe to me everyone who sees this and dont spam this either!

This sounds really exciting. Student engagement with course material is vital to learning. How many classes are using this approach now? How are the students doing in their classes that do not use twitter? What are the challenges in using this kind of approach? "Doc A"

Haha, that's exactly what i thought ... look at all those macbooks! :)

Hmmm, no wonder incoming college freshman can't read.

Seriously; there was a time (10 years ago) when the better mathematics students had no trouble reading and understanding an applications problem. Now, very few of them can, including those who can actually do the mathematics.

IntelligentCreature: since when has the students learning anything counted?

Twitter and Mac Books are all well and good, but it's what we LEARN that is important. We are learning about all kinds of technology as well as all the other stuff that everyone else thinks is so cool. We are a school, a giant pool of information, that works together to create awesome stuff.
