#Academics Are you "force" to teach online as a result of COVID19?

Here is a way to implement Twitter in your classrooms: #Thread

1️⃣Students sign-up w professional handle (no exceptions) & tweet at you [faculty] - this is important to ensure they have a proper online appearance. 1/6

2️⃣Give them a target - 5-10 tweets/wk in your specific topics. This gives them an expectation to follow - and helps you with grading. 2/6

I'm not "picky" with content as long as it pertains to the topics being discussed.

3️⃣Ask them to include a class # so you can easily follow the conversation - I use [#] [coursenumber] [year] 3/6

4️⃣Ask them to write a reflection at the end. This has helped to improve the assignment over the years. 4/6

NOTE: Must won't like it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

5️⃣ I've used @IFTTT and #excel for grading. 5/6

Grading rubric I have used is here: bit.ly/2TN1sch

6️⃣Instructions on how I have implemented this are here:

Thanks .@Dr_Mela for the suggestion to get this out.
