Student Post: Olivia Gajewski: Twitter in the Classroom

I actually really like using Twitter in the classroom. One of my favorite assignments we had in high school was in my English class. Rather than writing a three-page book report, my teacher gave us the option to write a book review on Twitter that we could share with all of our classmates and peers. In my opinion, this was more useful than a book report because others actually got to read what you thought about the book and decide if they would be interested in reading it as well. Twitter could be used for many other classes as well and is a great way to keep students engaged as they are already using this platform.
