Alternative Assignments...
TED and Twitter
Use the TED app or website to have students find thematic based videos worth sharing.
Once students select the video, share via Twitter (or any other social networking platform, like Edmodo). Once shared, have students watch videos and start discussion threads. Differentiation: teacher-selected videos, split into groups so some find videos and others are responding, assign students certain days to post videos, or even only require a certain amount of videos to watch. |
Using hash-tags #, reply, and retweet, have students conduct live conversations related to the posted TED videos. These conversations can be relegated to class time or an extended period.
Extension: Have students find and retweet a related article having to do with the content of the video. Either validating, supporting, or refuting a central claim/argument. 60 Ways to Use Twitter by Category Other interesting ways to use twitter in the classroom... |
