Engaging students instead of developing a passive environment in which students simply listen to lectures and take online tests can be done by using microblobbing. As students are using microblogs, they see what other students think and compare thoughts about a topic. Microblogs can also help students focus their thoughts brcause they must be brief and to the point due to the limit on available charactors. As students' Tweeting improves, their communication will become more succinct and clear.
The instructor may use microblogging to:
- Tweet reminders of or changes in due dates or upcoming assignments
- push out sample quiz or test questions. This can be done effectively as a test review session.
- take a poll of students’ opinions.
- post a definition and ask students to respond with the correct vocabulary word.
It is actually ok to use texting language and the word short because of the limited number of characters.
Microblogging is a very useful resourse for online teaching.
This will be very helpful for gen z students
I did not realized how much microblogging was being introduced to online classes. I think this will be very help for students. It will help alot
with comunication between students and teachers. It is also a great tool for students to contact other atudents and learn together.
