Canada MoodleMoot 2009 Hengstler Presentations

There is a distinction between using Twitter as a backchannel and other ways it can be used in and out of the classroom -- see this blog post for some links to a Twitter uses matrix: http://www.samplereality.com/2009/10/07/twitter-is-a-snark-valve/ Mark's post is an example of backchannel use; Monica Rankin's use was not backchanneling. I think Monica's use as a replacement for in-class discussion was complicated and not easily sustainable (though I appplaud the experimentation). Many of the low-threshold activities listed along the middle row pprovide more straightforward uses of Twitter to accomplish learning goals that are not easily done with other tools.

I second the idea of creating a backchannel etiquette as suggested in the post by jhengstler in #3 above. And thanks for the interesting Twitter back channel activity.
