The Twitter Essay
From this point on, each F2F class will begin with a twitter essay. What is a twitter essay?
You can read all the details here and here.
When you come to class, the rules will be as followed:
1. I will post an opening question or statement for you to respond to. 2. I will always tell you what the question is here (on wikispaces),and I will give you the hashtag(s) I have used and expect you to use. Don't use the hashtags? That's how I check attendance/timeliness. The hashtags are how I find you.
3. Your essay does not need to be exactly 140 characters, but it must be exactly one tweet (no Part 1/Part 2/etc...)
4. Conduct a peer review. Identify at least two tweets from a classmate and respond to them (retweet them if you like but not required).
Make sure you the required hashtags and @ symbols are included in your reply (these will always be provided for you in the directions and could change so always double check)
This week's twitter essay question is:
A central idea from Chapter 4 is to be a giver. Givers promote the content of others that they think is important and worth sharing. Identify one piece of content that is relevant to this course that you believe is worth sharing. Write a tweet about it, and include the link.
Answer the above question (following the five steps listed above it). Use the following hashtag: #twitteressay and any other hashtags you think are relevant. You will have 15 minutes (5:00-5:15) today to compose your tweet and conduct your peer review.
5. EXTRA STEP: After you have done steps 1-4, go back and identify one piece of information that you chose not to share. Tweet it now with #exploreliteracy
What Does It Mean to Connect? Class Tweeter: (#connect) Cara Class Tweeter: (#connect) Whitney
How we connect, share, and learn from each other has changed significantly in the last 10-15 years. But do we really take advantage of what we have in front of us? How do we connect, and who do we connect with? What information do we choose to share, and what do we choose to ignore or not share?
We will watch the following Ted Talk that explores these issues:
Explore Project: Getting Feedback Class Tweeter: (#exploreliteracy) Matt Class Tweeter: (#exploreliteracy) Heidi
Each time we meet F2F, you are expected to share where you are with your Explore Project. This can be done any number of ways, and any way you want to do it is fine. Examples include:
Telling us what you have learned or are working on
Asking for specific feedback
Have us look at specific documents and give you input
This week, you will have up to five minutes of time to share/get feedback on your Explore project. You can use those five minutes however you would like. However, when time is up, time is up. No one may go over five minutes.
