[|18 Student Tweets About History Teachers]
0  So, I’m thinking that at some point in the future, our Tweet data will be considered primary documents. What do the following say about history teachers in the (declining) Web 2.0 Era? How many of these were tweeted in class? For those of you new to Twitter, or perhaps completely unfamiliar with the tool, it’s actually quite easy to find these through Twitter’s search (I actually use TweetDeck). I thought I’d post some of these now, as the crop of “history teacher” tweets is dwindling due to summer break. Enjoy! [|www.coveritlive.com] media type="custom" key="7223429" The Web 2.0 site I selected is called coveritlive. It allows for live discussion of events.Subscribers and the producer can all post comments. I thought that this might be useful for watching election results or perhaps a presidential speech so that students and I could comment in real time. It would be particularly fun for a presidential election as the results of each state come in. I've used it for discussing episodes of the TV show "Breaking Bad" and have enjoyed it. Its fun to be able to talk to other likeminded people as you are experiencing an event. This would seem to work best for live events like the ones I mentioned, though it might also be good for discussing homework assignments.
