Tom DaccordSome general comments on the “Twitter Experiment”
by Monica Rankin (UT Dallas)
There has been a lot of interest in the “Twitter Experiment” video posted by Kim Smith chronicling my U.S. History class at U.T. Dallas and our use of twitter in the classroom. I have fielded a number of inquiries from educators across the United States and even overseas who are interested in finding ways to use social networking in an educational setting. This write-up is intended as an informal summary of my use of twitter in the classroom. I hope it will help to clarify my experience and I welcome additional questions and commentary, particularly suggestions for how to improve this type of classroom interaction. -

At the beginning of the semester, there were
90 students enrolled in my class. The
class met in a large auditorium-style classroom on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
from 11:30-12:20. I had one graduate
student teaching assistant to help with grading and other administrative duties
for the class. -
Fridays were reserved for the
“twitter experiment.” The idea was to set up all of the students on twitter
while they were in class and have them post discussion ideas/questions and
respond to each other using twitter. Students were required to complete a reading
assignment prior to class every Friday. - 1 more annotations...

I also found that it was best to give them discussion topics so that
most of the comments were based on a common them or at least related to the
same reading. Depending on the topic,
they would tweet for ten minutes or so and then I would suggest a change of
topic. Students would have
mini-discussions in their small groups and each student could tweet the most
relevant comments being circulated in the group. They could respond to comments being posted
by other students or suggest an interesting perspective on one of the
readings. Many students also tweeted comments on how they might use the readings on the
exams.

The class:
I used twitter in the basic U.S. History II survey course at U.T. Dallas in the spring 2009 semester. This is a “core” course requirement in the state of Texas. It generally enrolls students from all majors across campus. At the beginning of the semester, there were 90 students enrolled in my class. The class met in a large auditorium-style classroom on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:30-12:20.
