| contents | Tweeting on the Backchannel of the Jumbo-Sized Lecture Hall: Maximizing Collective Learning in a World History Survey Pollard, Elizabeth Ann World History History Instruction Social Media Large Group Instruction Mass Media Use Learner Engagement College Instruction College Students Introductory Courses Teaching Methods As a medium of human communication, Twitter is particularly useful to historians, perhaps counter-intuitively, even historians of pre-1500 C.E. attempting to teach students how to "do" history, especially how to work with sources and how to track developments in historiography. First, there is the possibility of teaching students to think of Twitter itself as a historical source, and what that can tell us about the nature of the sources we use to construct history. Thanks to the transfer of public tweets to the digital archive of the Library of Congress, Twitter will be a valuable primary source for future scholars trying to understand what people--or at least a certain group of people--were thinking about in the early third millennium C.E. and how they shared those ideas. Elizabeth Ann Pollard describes how she was able to implement Twitter into her world history survey courses and evaluates the pros and cons of Twitter use in large-sized classes. |
