This week, I started something new... I incorporated twitter in my course!
Here's the assignment:
Twitter Extra Credit Assignment (Due by April 24th) - WORTH 12 POINTS
Step 1 - Create a twitter account. Add (follow) the following people to your twitter list - Dr. Edwards (my username is "drjtedwards") AND at least five people from our class (their usernames will be in the title of their messages).
Step 2 - Update your twitter feed (140 words or less) at least two times per day for four consecutive days.
Step 3 - Reply to this message with your username in the title (please see my example).
Step 4 - In your reply, please respond to the following questions (1/one paragraph per question):
A. What were your opinions of twitter? In what ways would you think twitter would be beneficial?
B. Do you plan to continue using twitter? Why or why not?
C. What impact will twitter have on the communication field?
If you have ANY questions, please let me know.
I will post updates next week. This entire twitter phenomenon is getting pretty interesting!
How have you incorporate twitter into your classroom OR training?
