From OnlineUniversities.com comes this great post on incorporating social media into classroom settings. Great ideas for teachers and school librarians! A few of my favorites:
- Make literature real. Have students create a Facebook page for a character from literature you are studying like this class did.
- Tweet famous conversations. Have students tweet imagined conversations between famous literary figures such as Romeo and Juliet, Sherlock Holmes and Watson, or Dante and Beatrice.
- Share interesting websites. Both students and instructors can share interesting websites related to class topics via social media.
- Poll the class. Use polls as an interactive teaching tool in class using the Poll app for Facebook or PollDaddy for Twitter.
