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.

I'm tempted to try this for my own large classes, hence the interest.
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!
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.
Or how grateful I am you shot the footage of me?? xo
Hi! Yes, here's the YouTube link. Also, what school are you at? Love to hear what y'all are doing re: new media and tech in the classroom.
