Using Twitter to Change Classroom Dynamics

There's an interesting article in Mashable that discusses how Twitter can significantly boost class participation.  According to the article, "Twitter is an inexpensive solution to the growing problem of increasing class sizes. It is a tried-and-true platform to let conversations flourish."  The post also points to a good read in academHack titled, Twitter for Academia.  Great post offering suggested uses of Twitter in the classroom.  Also, check out Dr. Monica Rankin video on her Twitter Experiment at UT Dallas.  [RJ]
