Dr. Rankin, professor of History at UT Dallas, wanted to know how to reach more students and involve more people in class discussions both in and out of the classroom. She had heard of Twitter... She collaborated with a graduate student, Kim Smith, from the Emerging Media and Communications (EMAC) and reached out to EMAC faculty for advice.
As a Graduate student in EMAC he assisted her in The Twitter Experiment and documented the project to share with others.
The feedback is varied, but the lesson for him, as a student, was the importance of a professor's attitude and willingness to try new technologies in the classroom, especially a more traditional class such as History. It was a great pleasure to assist Dr. Rankin with this.
He documented the experiment and used it in his digital video class with Professor Dean Terry, @therefore, and assisted Dr. Rankin in the experiment as a part of his collaboration and content creation course with Dan Langendor, @dlangendorf.
It was a great work with Dr. Rankin - a forward-thinking professor open to the intelligent use of new media.

This is really a great initiative. Could we use it with our Bachillerato students in Spain? Share your thoughts if you wish, posting a comment.
