Hotseat lets students Facebook, Tweet in class to improve learning
Enabling collaborative micro-discussion in and out of the classroom
This is an amazing new way to discuss and learn during class and after class using Social Media! I really can imagine this taking off across the globe.
The only problem I can see arrising is the ability of the Teaching Staff’s IT skills. I have experienced too many times A/V hicups (see my previous post about A/V problems). Why, even today in one of my lectures the professor couldnt get the internet to connect in order to show us a video on youtube – at least she was making an effort using youtube!
Anyway, this “HotSeat” idea seems great! I look forward to trying it soon…!
