Teaching with Twitter: one professor reports

Filed under: Pedagogy, Tools — Bryan Alexander @ 11:17:26 am

A college professor writes about his positive experiences using a microblogging service in teaching. David Parry (Emerging Media and Communications program, University of Texas, Dallas) lists a series of uses, including building class community, speeding feedback, teaching writing, and more.

Parry also published a Twitter-based writing assignment.

Note: the Chronicle article about this story describes Twitter as being based in mobile phones. In fact Twitter is a Web service, which can be accessed from either Web browsers in laptops or cell phones.
