34. Joel Berman – Twitter and YouTube Class Example: I have been using Twitter to collect data on
exercises that were confusing in class or those that students simply want another example to refer
I then record examples of the top questions/concerns and upload them to YouTube. One of the
related links (in response to the requests for long division) is: http://youtu.be/Y3yXVnmKuAE
Amanda Kern: During the fall 2011 and spring 2012 semesters web design faculty teaching the GRA
2141C web page design course worked toward creating more awareness of social media throughou
the semester. The hopes were to help students increase their awareness and see the professional
benefits of social media. The following activities were implemented each semester to help increas
awareness of social media’s professional benefits.
One of the examples is by Brian Croxall (@briancroxall ) who is using Twitter in his ENG 456 Readin
Technology course to engage his student with social media in an age of new media. This is a month
long Twitter-related assignment after he has already spent time with students discussing media
systems. After gaining foundation requirements, the students are to follow the class account
“Croxall” and other members of the class, posting at least once a day for a month and using the
course hashtag #eng465. Croxall focused on having students play with Twitter and see if it changes
the culture or society of the class in any appreciable way.
The final assignment is for students to write up an evaluation of the assignment and what Twitter
teaches about community and media. This assignment would be a low-stake, low-entry form of so
media to implement into a course for the first time.
