    A1 Twitter helps students think fast and make their points concisely and clearly in just a few words. #nt2t
  • Ryan7Read Feb 4 @ 9:09 AM EST
    A1: What R topics that people are talking about WHat ones are 2 think about & what ones R just people trying to make something a thing #nt2t
  • dk814 Feb 4 @ 9:09 AM EST
    A1: In my opinion, at Moravian my professor encourages us to post education articles on twitter and they create critical thinking #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:09 AM EST
    A1: The fact that Tweeps r from all over the world gives Ss a broader POV & info from many perspectives-leads to more diverse thinking #NT2t

    A1. Students can reflect on what they are reading and use higher level questioning techniques to discuss w/ others. #NT2t
  • shyj - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:11 AM EST
    Twtter gives great "1st impressions" of news. THis could help Ss weed through fact/fiction & how one tweet can lead to discussion. #NT2t

      A1: What R topics that people are talking about WHat ones are 2 think about & what ones R just people trying to make something a thing #nt2t

    AS they say in Mean Girls: "Stop trying to make it a thing." #nt2t
    In reply to @hturk139
  • dk814 Feb 4 @ 9:13 AM EST
    We set aside time for each student to explain about the articles they posted and we share our opinions on the specific topic #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • shyj - Moderator Feb 4 @ 9:13 AM EST
    Now that is a great idea Beckett! Do you know of any classes doing this? #NT2t

    In reply to @shyj

    Yes, and postulate what was behind the tweet..... #NT2t
    In reply to @mjjohnson1216

    A2: All of these are tremendous ideas, but how do we monitor our students' activity if they handle twitter irresponsibly? #Nt2t
  • seni_bl Feb 4 @ 9:23 AM EST
    A2: HW it's old-fashioned. You don't need a special time or place for learning. So Twitter is/can be a learning channel. #nt2t

    Q2) Twitter is writing instantly published with an audience. #NT2t

    In reply to @dk814

    • TrishKing6 Feb 4 @ 9:20 AM EST
