I recently found a new twitter account from an educator in Tennessee, Marc Taylor. Although he is interested in science, he often posts about general education tips and news. Taylor recently posted a link to twenty tips when you have five minutes left in class. The tips are simple and would work in any class. Most of the tips involve writing down questions and saving them for the class. The tips offer an opportunity for the teacher to have an easy class opener the next day. Tip #8 caught my eye when I saw Twitter. With technology taking over, twitter is a great and easy way to get students involved in learning. It can be as simple as, "Tweet one fact you learned in class today." The teacher can create a class # to ensure every student contributes. Taylor also tweets out a lot of links to new scientific research being done around the world.
