I love twitter and vine. The fact that you are forced to summarize a thought into 140 characters or 6 seconds of video is the perfect way to get students to get to the point. I look at creative experts that I follow and see how they really have to find a beginning, middle, and end to their outcome. I wait patiently for the following #vine posts daily.......
Here are some book trailers I have created and that are only six seconds long.
Here is a six second video of an art exhibit I went to...
Getting students to think about what they put on social networks is a daunting task. Giving them a purpose for their posts, makes them think, plan and organize their thoughts. Right now educators host educational chats using twitter. When using vine educators might ask students to summarize a book, create a book trailer, show how their science experiment works, create a historical timeline, or develop a step by step art project video.
How can you implement this into the curriculum you teach?
