Tips for Using Twitter in the Classroom

Twitter is a fantastic social networking tool that provides numerous advantages. However, people should be aware that this frequently utilized technological marvel can also be a big source of difficulty if not used correctly. People frequently waste time browsing through Twitter’s never-ending streams of conversations. Nonetheless, its great benefits can be revealed when used correctly. It has already been shown to be a useful tool in the corporate world. This article explains how educators can benefit from Twitter.

Here are some of how this social media platform can help in the realm of education.

  1. Learners can learn in the way that best suits them. Twitter’s level of customization is difficult to attain through traditional textbooks or classroom presentations.
  2. Connecting Twitter to multiple types of multimedia, such as YouTube, can make teaching more engaging and enjoyable.
  3. This platform allows learners to find a great number of educational information. They can also identify connected communities and participate in relevant debates and group studies.
  4. Educators who find it difficult to pay attention to each pupil in the classroom will find that building a closer relationship through Twitter is much easier.
  5. Learning does not have to be limited to the confines of a classroom any longer. Twitter allows learners to learn anywhere, at any time, thanks to its simple accessibility via smartphones and tablets.
  6. Educators can transfer concepts and information more quickly because Twitter is all about being comprehensive and exact, as it only allows 280 characters.
  7. Even shy students who are hesitant to participate in classroom discussions may find it simpler to express themselves on this platform.
  • These are some of the advantages of using Twitter to educate students more effectively and efficiently. Educators can be creative and apply their own novel teaching methods with this platform. Below are some suggestions for improving the efficiency of this process.
  • Use it as a bulletin board to share vital news, announcements, and urgent information with your students. Things pinned up on a traditional corkboard in a classroom frequently go ignored and fail to reach learners on time. Twitter enables educators to communicate with their students in real-time.
  • Make use of hashtags to categorize your Twitter chats. Hashtags can also be used by students to find similar information and knowledge.
  • Twitter is a terrific tool to communicate with your student’s parents and connect with them.
  • Use the 280-character limit for a quick quiz session. Learners will be more inspired to participate in this interesting session than traditional pop quizzes. Another method to use the 280-character restriction is to provide a quick review of a class you just completed teaching.

These are just a few of the numerous ways educators might use Twitter in the classroom.

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
