Twitter Note Taking

http://steveouting.com/2009/05/08/classroom-idea-twitter-note-taking/

I've been experimenting with using Twitter in the classroom for the last year or so, and I think I'm going to take it to the next level with note taking.  We're going to use a Bill Nye science video from YouTube and stop the film periodically to allow students to briefly in their groups to talk about what needs to be tweeted.  Now because not all students have Twitter accounts, I'm going to group non Twitter students with others who have Twitter accounts.  We'll have to pick a common hashtag that is not super common (e.g. #7eearthcrust) so afterwards we can compile the tweets.  After the film, we'll be able to review each group's notes and this is where the magic begins.  I expect it to be a big of a chaotic mess at the beginning, but I'm expecting technology magic to happen.

I'll keep you posted!

Why I Hate School But Love Education

Proverbs 17:16

Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom,
    when they are not able to understand it?

Always good to consider the points of view.

What is Successful Technology Integration?

Technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is:

• Routine and transparent
• A child or a teacher doesn't stop to think that he or she is using a technology tool
• Is accessible and readily available for the task at hand
• Technology tools support the curricular goals, and help the students to effectively reach their goals
• And students are more actively engaged in projects when technology integration is a seamless part of the learning process.

Summary: Gives some practical examples of how technology can be integrated into the classroom.
