You guys gave a great presentation. I especially became more interested in trying Twitter. I do not like to write and short, sweet to the point messages would work for me. Thank you.
One way I could use social networks in my math classes would be for discussing problem solving in a "get to the point" forum via Twitter. Students could also use Twitter as a research and/or communication tool to follow trends and network. More importantly, I feel Twitter is an age appropriate tool for my 7th and 8th grade students.
A way I could introduce Twitter at the beginning of the year would be to post something like a math riddle, logic problem or brain teaser so as to provoke a short explanation finding a solution. I would like to be able to give those types of problems for homework so as to prepare them for the next days objective(s).
I would also allow students to use their cell phones to access Twitter while in my class.
