This handful of resources provide about 100 different ideas for, and examples of, using Twitter in the classroom.

It’s been almost 8 months since I published the post, “6 Examples of Using Twitter in the Classroom” ^[1], about uses of the popular micro-blogging tool in the instructional setting. This post generated a lot of traffic, and continues to attract hundreds of viewers every week.

^[2]Since that brief posting, I’ve come across a lot of articles containing examples and suggestions for using Twitter ^[2] in instructional applications. I’ve combed through many of these and tried to boil down the redundancies to create a rich set of idea-laden resources. While there’s still going to be some overlap in the concepts presented in these articles, they clearly meet the goal of providing a thorough set of ideas and examples for leveraging Twitter in the educational process. (I follow this new listing with the original set of articles cited in my June ’09 post).

• Here we have 25 Ways to Teach with Twitter ^[3] from Sonja Cole.
• Here’s 10 great ideas on how to use Twitter in the classroom ^[4], from blogger Steve Wheeler.
• This extensive list provides 50 ways to use Twitter in the College Classroom ^[5].
• This Twitter for Academia ^[6] post suggests 13 different ways to use Twitter in the classroom.
• Lastly, this PDF file ^[7] discusses the experience of teacher Ana Dominquez using Twitter in the Kindergarten classroom.

I also want to mention these 100 Serious Twitter Tips for Academics ^[8], which are worth reviewing to learn more and plan your approach to using Twitter in (and out of) the classroom.

Here are the original “6 Examples” from last June’s post:

• I’ll start by providing links to two articles (here is one ^[9], and here is the another ^[10]), about teacher Monica Rankin using Twitter in instructional application at the University of Texas at Dallas. These are a few of many stories about Professor Rankin’s efforts (this highly covered case is what really triggered my perception that there were a lot of articles about Twitter in the classroom in recent weeks).
• Here is a video ^[11] about Twitter (and other technologies) being used at Roosevelt HS in Minneapolis.
• This article ^[12] from The Chronicle of Higher Education discusses instructor Cole Camplese’s use of Twitter, streaming Tweets from students on screen during lectures, as part of the instructional process.
• In this Vlog ^[13], Christine Morris explains how she experimented with the technology with her higher ed students, tapping into Tweetdeck to get the most out Twitter.
• In this blog posting ^[14], David Silver explains how Twitter replaced three other technologies he was using in the classroom.
• Last, but certainly not least, here is one of countless articles ^[15] about Professor David Parry’s work with Twitter, from early 2008. This is the first Twitter in the classroom story that I came across and it has been discussed and posted about many times on the Internet.

In closing, I must thank the authors of the posts that I cite here - this article would obviously not exist without their previous hard work. I hope this posting raises awareness of their excellent efforts.
