Twitter pour s’échanger des notes durant un cours?
Twitter en classe? En direct? C’est l’expérience tentée et reprise sur “Education 2.0 – Learning 2.0 Tools: Twitter comme système de feedback vis à vis d’un cours“. Florence cite l’article “Professor Encourages Students to Pass Notes During Class — via Twitter“. Deux trois citations pour mémoire:
“Cole W. Camplese, director of education-technology services at Pennsylvania State University at University Park, prefers to teach in classrooms with two screens — one to project his slides, and another to project a Twitter stream of notes from students.”
“Once students warmed to the idea that their professors actually wanted them to chat during class, students begin floating ideas or posting links to related materials, the professor says. In some cases, a shy student would type an observation or question on Twitter, and others in the class would respond with notes encouraging the student to raise the topic out loud. Other times, one of the professors would see a link posted by a student and stop class to discuss it.”
“Still, when Mr. Camplese told me about his experiment soon after he spoke at The Chronicle’s Tech Forum, I couldn’t help thinking that it sounded like a recipe for chaos, and I told him so. He replied that his hope is that the second layer of conversation will disrupt the old classroom model and allow new kinds of teaching in which students play a greater role and information is pulled in from outside the classroom walls. “I’m not a full-time faculty member,” he said. “I use my classrooms as an applied-research lab to decide what to promote as new solutions for our campus.””
Bon, là on est déjà au niveau 5 dans l’utilisation des TIC dans l’enseignement…
Ca risque d’en effrayer plus d’un, mais l’idée est intéressante. C’est de l’interactif pur et demande à l’enseignant d’être capable de suivre en direct ce qu’il se tweete pour l’intégrer au bon moment dans le déroulement de son cours. Imaginons d’aller plus loin, à la Facebook. Le prof dit une phrase et on voit apparaître à l’écran: “150 étudiants aiment ça”
