Twitter in the history classroom

I'm passing along this which was submitted to me by one of your classmates, Jack.
I attended a webinar this afternoon presented by lern.org; it was led by a gentleman named Harold Harche (www.jarche.com), and as part of the webinar he showed the following youtube presentation that I thought might interest you, “The Twitter Experiment – UT Dallas,” where a high school history class used twitter to allow students to convey ideas. Following are links to the youtube presentation and to the history teacher's conclusions:

  1. Thank you Jack and Vanessa for posting these links. I found the video and conclusions very interesting and am still processing my own conclusions of the project.
