Faculty Resources

Basics:

1. Students must create a Twitter account (or use an existing one). 
2. Consider making a Twitter account for the course that students must follow.
3. Develop a course hashtag (ex: #arh220, #english101, #bio215) that everyone must follow.
4. Always lay out clear guidelines and expectations.
5. Plan on if/how you will preserve those tweets and/or analyze them.

Possible Uses: 

• Have students live-tweet during a movie/documentary/video they watch for class (inside or out)
• Have students make observations about the world around them in the context of course material
• Have students write Twitter "essays" (limited to 280 characters) defining or responding to a course concept, term, etc. 
• Have students create TwitterBots
• Have students use Twitter freely as long as they meet a post/response minimum
