Twitterworld,

My name is Nate and I am setting up a twitter account to use for educational purposes.

@Me_Lissa85 #wuedt6020 Although I believe that it is important to stay" ahead of the game" and find out how students are successfully cheating, I think the more beneficial route is to help the kids understand the purpose behind the work they are doing and what they're learning.

#wuedt6020 Hey Everyone! Check out my blog on the Cons of Virtual Reality- I thought I would play devil's advocate.

@ericbeaman #wuedt6020 Sorry, I am still figuring out twitter. I think that there are already technologies out there that use smell to enhance the flavor of food. I just think it would be cool if you remembered how to balance an equation or debug a program from "fesh linen",

@ericbeaman @ericbeaman @wuedt6020
I have seen technologies out there that are "flavor enhancing" using smell. Imagine if you were reminded of how to write a sonnet, debug a program, or divide polynomials whenever you smelled "fresh linen". I just think it
is a neat idea worth exploring.

@nicoleabes618 #wuedt6020 I have encouraged students to develop full instructional units through Google Docs. Students collaborate as they develop Google slides presentations, assess their progress through Google forms, and incorporate videos.

#wuedt6020 @Hickman_wilmU I teach highschool science and my students really love the web2.0 tools associated with www.biomanbio. The educational games are accurate and relatively infomative; students like that they play like typical videogames.

#wuedt6020 @ericbeaman I think that the gamification of education is characterized by competition. It will be hard to get away from "winning & losing" mentalities until the students understand that the purpose of the activity is to learn; meanwhile I suggest cooperative games.

@McCoolWILMu I do not think that link works, now I have changed my settings- it should work.

@McCoolWILMu @wuedt6020 Sorry, the link to my infographic was not working properly. Should I resubmit another way? https://t.co/mFjs4MQKMf

@ezrapaultillman After reading your post, I had to look into IEarn! What a neat way of connecting people, cultures, and ideas!

[Nathan States @nstates88]

@LatoriaBanks @DVaughan35 I never thought about having my students develop epals. I remember when I used to have a pen pal in elementary school; skype and other learning platforms would be a great way to connect people globally.

[Nathan States @nstates88]

#wuedt6020 Twitter can be used to connect students globally. After following a professional in the field of biology, students can retweet (with a personal comment) a post and introduce their peers to the professional that they are following.

@KarenDekker I couldn't agree with you more about Mobile Learning. I like the idea of having class on the go; students can access a lesson virtually anywhere, anytime. So cool. #wuedt6020

[Nathan States @nstates88]

@tinsleysandy1 Google Expedition?!?! That is awesome! Please let me know more about it when you get the chance to use it.#wuedt6020

[Nathan States @nstates88]

I will incorporate Robotics into the classroom to model the relationship between structure and function. #wuedt6020
