@DanDSilva3 I love the idea of using twitter as a timeline. It's actually a really great way to use the "thread" aspect of the platform to communicate the entirety of a historical event. My only fear is that sometimes I find threads get a little messy, but overall a great way to use twitter.
@mmcinneshin I think this is a really creative idea and would be fun for students but would actually enable you to gauge student understanding of a particular lesson or event. There's so many applications for this, too, so it could be repeated if it ends up being a success the first time.
While presenting, students will be asked to use their own course-specific twitter account to share thoughts on the cartoon and the message it seeks to convey. Student comments should be focused on the current event (not the artwork, for example)

Throughout the course, current event reporting and presenting will be integral to our curriculum. Twitter will be a medium for students to share and analyze political cartoons.
