Heather Ross"Professors who wish to engage students during large lectures face an uphill battle. Not only is it a logistical impossibility for 200+ students to actively participate in a 90 minute lecture, but the downward sloping cone-shape of a lecture hall induces a one-to-many conversation. This problem is compounded by the recent budget cuts that have squeezed ever more students into each room.
Fortunately, educators (including myself) have found that Twitter is an effective way to broaden participation in lecture. Additionally, the ubiquity of laptops and smartphones have made the integration of Twitter a virtually bureaucracy-free endeavor.

Andrew SmithI found this article very interesting. Engagement and classroom management are two aspects of teaching that always use improvement, and can become tricky in 1-1 situations. Using Twitter is not something I would thing would help engagement, but I would certainly like to try after reading this article

Students who manage to live off the grid for 50 minutes can still pass in hand-written notes for the TA to tweet after class.

Stefanye BachmanI chose this site because it can be applied directly to college classrooms. This is a great example of how to engage a full lecture hall which is great.

The dynamic of an intellectual ecosystem, where students dive deep into class readings and argue contentious issues outside of class, is difficult to create if discussion ends when class is over. Fortunately, Twitter has no time limit. In fact, Dr. Rankin’s colleague David Parry, Professor of Emerging Media at the University of Texas, found that Twitter chatter during class spilled over into the students’ free time.
-
Parry’s experience is in line with results of one of the first education studies of Twitter, which found that students do indeed carry on discussion outside of the classroom.

“It’s just an easy way to answer questions in class without embarrassing yourself and raising your hand in a big lecture hall,” said one student. Studies frequently discover that greater participation translates into better academic performance, motivation, and a likelihood of adopting different points of view, which is why it is so striking that Twitter can foster that type of communication.

Classroom shyness is like a blackhole: Once silence takes over, it never lets go. In my own experience, in a class of hundreds, the fraction of students who speak up is small, and a still tinier fraction contribute regularly.

Bright IdeasFocussed on university lectures, the article is a look at how Twitter is allowing for greater discussion. Alternatives for secondary schools are available, with one teacher I know using an online discussion board for students to post questions so the classroom (in theory) is quieter.
