In this article, the author speaks about their top 10 uses of twitter for education. Some were similar to other online resources I've seen, such as google documents and some I found new, that I never have heard of. Some ways to use twitter for education is by twit board, where students are notified of changes to course content, schedules, venues, or other important information. Another one was "summing up"- which is asking students to read an article or chapter then post a brief summary of the key points. Their was also twit links, which is for students to share a hyperlink, and students can be required to regularly share on new hyperlink to a useful website they found. So in all there was many ways to use twitter for education.
Q1: What is Lengua Tweets? And how can this be helpful in a classroom?
A1: Lengua tweets is when you tweet something in a foreign language and ask others to respond in the same language or in their native language. This could be helpful in a foreign language class to learn the language in perhaps a new way students never used, therefore they may be more willing to use it.
Q2: How can twitter stalking help in a government class?
A1: Twitter stalking is following a famous person and document their progress. Therefore in a government class students can follow a president or nominees for the presidential election and see their progress. Maybe even get links to their speeches.
