Analog Twitter Wall
In the theme of digital literacy, the idea of an Analog Twitter wall came to mind. It's not a new idea, but one worth exploring.
Two Guys and some iPads is a blog I follow on a regular basis. Their
blog post on creating an analog Twitter wall and how they did it is spot on. Being able to model appropriate online behavior in a controlled environment could be very powerful. The idea allows teachers to have the digital literacy conversation with their students, while still being able to interact with content.
There are many ways the idea of an analog Twitter wall can be used in the classroom.
1. Lunch count and attendance
2. Exit tickets
3. Chapter summary or introduction
4. Character development
The list could go on forever. All it takes is a little wall space in your classroom and it provides a way to continue learning content as well as 21st century skills. I would love to hear if you have ever used an analog Twitter wall in your classroom and how it went.
