It was great for ELLs who could read others' questions and statements and use their dictionaries to check meanings, whereas they usually have to listen and often misinterpret or don't understand the verbal to-and-fro discussions. We got students with basic English proficiency to begin posting questions after they were taught how to structure questions and some basic Scientific terms. Todaysmeet is often used in Social Studies. I observed a lesson in which the students took on a specific role (e.g. historian, a person in the video, a poor person, a politician, etc.) and while watching a video they made comments from the perspective of the role they took.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445442153501631992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-27625383373049001622010-10-12T22:52:25.932-04:002010-10-12T22:52:25.932-04:00I used Twitter in an online English class (high sc...I used Twitter in an online English class (high school level) to have students tweet about symbolism in Lord of the Flies. Over the summer, I taught a university course on the History of World Civ, and used it to share additional vids and websites we didn't have time for in class, and to follow up on discussion questions from class. @lisa_marenLisa Rampton Halversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230956320791735877noreply@blogger.com
