Using Twitter in The Classroom
In using technology to our advantage, Twitter is no exception. Twitter can be incorporated into our lessons, it can be used to keep the class interested as we show our students that even in the classroom we are keeping up with them and the times. One website has a numbered list of all the interesting ways Twitter can be intertwined in the classroom for things like upcoming due dates for assignments, running news feed for the class, poetry, running issues etc.
The power of Twitter for instance as an educational tool was in full effect during President Mubarak's attempt to hold on to his rein, his citizens were using cell phones and social media to change his country's history, by tweeting and opening up the happenings of the country to the rest of the world as it was happening.
