The Twitter Experiment - Bringing Twitter to the Classroom at UT Dallas

UT Dallas History Professor Dr. Monica Rankin, @monicarankin, wanted to know how she could reach and include more students in the class discussion. She had heard of Twitter... The following is a short video describing her "Twitter Experiment" in the classroom with comments from students about the pros and cons of Twitter in a traditional learning environment.

I am Graduate student at UT Dallas pursuing a Masters in Emerging Media and Communication (EMAC) and collaborated with Dr. Rankin to see how Twitter might be used in her US History 2 class. This experiment was both exciting and a bit daunting...

The video is one of my projects for a digital video class with Dean Terry, @therefore, and part of a class project in my content creation and collaboration class with Dan Langendorf, @dlangendorf.

Really interesting video. One of the things I like about experiments like this one is how they force educators to rethink students' use of personal communication devices (like computers and cellphones) in the classroom. Many educators see these devices as a distraction, and actively try to discourage their use. But, of course, these devices are just tools, so to see them as fundamentally distracting and ban them would make as much sense as banning students from using pen and paper to take notes. Analog communication technology like writing contains the same potential for distraction as do computers (ever passed a note in class?). Recognizing this fact, instructors need to be more proactive in harassing new technologies for learning by bringing them into the classroom conversation.

Any unforeseen (or foreseen) drawbacks? The video seemed to be mostly positive, with face time given to students who are clearly enthusiastic. I'm all for it, but I'd like a little more info on the whole picture.

I'm tempted to try this for my own large classes, hence the interest.

Nathan, Kim asked me to comment I suspect in regards to your concerns about drawbacks from using Twitter in the classroom.

I used Twitter in my graduate seminar, Information Architecture, this past semester in much the same way that it was used in Dr. Rankin's class. During discussion, students commented on the discussion via Twitter with the hopes that it would result in an in an interesting meta-discussion.

The result, however, was not at all what I expected. Because we were such a small group--only 8--each of us really needed to be dedicated to the oral discussion. When we weren't, Twitter became a bit of a distraction and the oral discussion suffered without the Twitter discussion getting any better. So, I would not recommend for smaller classes.

The one place it did benefit, and was not at all expected, was that it gave me insight into how students were working on projects outside of the classroom. I asked students to use the #ias09 hashtag for all tweets relating to the course. As a result, they started tweeting about the assignments, the readings, questions about both, and engaging in conversations about the course on Twitter completely naturally with no push to do so. Reading their discussions was both enlightening (as to how they approach work) and maddening (when they asked questions that were clearly covered in the syllabus). Mostly, however, it resulted in students engaging with each others' learning 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, which was very nice. It created a real bond between them.

If we're thinking of drawbacks, I guess access and comfort putting themselves out there online would be two things to look out for. One of my students was clearly not comfortable with Twitter, but she did what she had to to get by.

I didn't go over the importance of Twittering with the cell phone. Next time I try this I will because it allows for even greater access.

Hope that helps!

This is a groundbreaking work in that it explores social media beyond the three dimensional world of networking and searching. Twitter is demonstrated as a productivity tool that can foster multitasking in a learning environment, thus fully exploiting the potential of each student, and the classroom as a whole. Furthermore, it is a pure work of social media in itself given that the story is a wiki woven from the comments of the participants rather than the opinions or interpretations of the producer. Great work Kim!

Great video. Looks like it was a TON of editing. It's super smooth and you have pieced it together in a great story.

What a great piece! Hopefully this will prompt more proliferation of technology in classrooms, and quell the technophobia that seems to hold an eternal grip over institutions (or adopting archaic systems like WebCT). This video shows that tools like Twitter can be bigger than Oprah, they can help educate.
May 5, 2009 at 8:38 PM
Kim Smith said…
nathan,

I think you bring up a valuable question and one I will try and address in a follow-up video. Twitter and new technologies bring to question many things including boundaries. One of the drawbacks, which I have on video, was the use of the english language via Twitter. I asked Bill to comment on the cons because he said it did not work in his smaller group. What struck me about Dr. Rankin is her willingness to try something new.

Joseph,

I find it encouraging that you understand the implications. So much work to do... education in the US is an important issue and there are so many tools and resources that we can think of in new ways to use in service of this.

Brandantonio,

As for WEBCT, yes - I will do a special video on that one day.

Excellent experiment, and I do hope you continue it in future classes. This type of textual integration is a great way for many more students' voices to be "heard"! We've been working with a similar service in a set of middle school classes: www.edmodo.com - give it a look. It's very similar to Twitter, but is a more "closed" educational environment. (In case you might need a "closed" system for whatever reason.)

Your video is very well crafted. I teach two sections of 50 student in HIST-1301 or -1302 each term.Mmany of these have limited oral skills in English and are reluctant to speak up in class. Several of them commented that the use of Discussion Board on eCampus (WebCT) gave them a chance to "talk" without being intimidated. Using twitter offers a way for me to pull more students into a discussion. I will incorporate it into my classes this fall and let you know how it goes.

I found this video to be lacking in its treatment of women and minority students. First, the only students interviewed were white males. Second, at the very moment when one of the speakers said that the twitter experiment could help those who were "quiet and stand-off-ish" the camera pans onto an Asian student (thus suggesting and reinforcing the stereotype of the reserved Asian male). If you want to convince your audience that the twitter experiment fosters greater inclusiveness, then you might want to produce a video that gives voice to a more diverse segment of the student body. At the moment, it only seems to suggest that the experiment appeals to white male technophiles.

The quality of our education has not necessarily improved with the advancement of technology. The man-machine interface is great for quasi-robotic control and machine/computer manufacturing. It not the same as sitting at the feet of a scholar when you're glued to a tiny iPod screen.
