Using Twitter to Role-Play the Classics
The Experiment
•Can we use Twitter to role-play Hamlet in real time?
•What would we learn if we tried it?
•What is the value of trying this in the classroom?
Twitter is an online social networking and
microblogging service that enables its users to send and read text-based posts of up to 140
characters, informally known as "tweets".
Multimedia
Implications for the Classroom
Technology doesn’t necessarily = engagement
"What is the value in re-imagining a text using social
media?”
Big Ideas
Be the DirectorSet up the Twitter accounts yourselfnot so much for policing but so you can see all the planning that happens through direct messages.
An email account is necessary to set up a Twitter account, but I’ve found a good workaround is to use variations on a gmail address such as [email protected].
Lists
Create a list and add all the character handles to the list. This way people can follow a list rather than each character:
eg/ https://twitter.com/#!/danikabarker/brevity-2-0
Don’t grade this.
Not everything we do as teachers needs to be graded, although this is sometimes a tough sell for students. Assess, and have the students reflect but the second you tell students they’re being graded, it raises the level of anxiety and puts a stop to creativity and playfulness, especially when trying something new.
Other Applications
•History role playing: http://twitter.com/#!/danikabarker/mr-t-s-history-class•Backchanneling•Homework reminders•Developing a PLN
