The Twitter Experiment - UT Dallas

Speaking of Classroom Response, check out this video of Dr. Monica Rankin from the University of Texas at Dallas.  Dr. Rankin shows how she uses Twitter for student participation and response during lectures.

Inspired by this experiment, a professor from STJ and I have looked into how Twitter can be use for responding to student's questions.  Professors can come up with keywords for each week of the course.  Students can tweet their questions categorizing them into topics by using the hashtag symbol and the keyword for that week.  The professor can then bring up the questions at certain times during the lecture and answer them.
