I'm interested in evaluating social media platforms as possible tools to enhance the writing skills of students. Specifically, I'm really interested in Tumblr and I'm sort of interested in Twitter. Facebook and Instagram came to my mind but I think that students likely will want to keep their Facebook account academically separate, and Instagram doesn't lend itself to create that much text. Maybe Tumblr (which I see as a "hip" blog form) and Twitter might not be that great as possible "writing" tools, so I wonder if I should even sustain the route of social media platforms. The appeal to this is that students are constantly on social media networks. I guess we are too.
I was also interested in crimemapping.com as a possible teaching/learning tool.
Over the weekend, I read an interesting article on Powerpoint Poetry & Interpretation but I think Powerpoint will be outdated (that sort of inspired my desire to do a workshop on VoiceThread). I also saw another article on using audio responses to comment on student work.
Or maybe Audacity.
I'm scattered!
