I am attempting something new this semester, beginning today. I aim to use Twitter to supplement my classes. If you’d like to check into this bumbling, stumbling try, you can follow @Prof_Mark_JCCC. My intention is to restrict this to class materials or items of wide interest in English.
If you’d like to follow a hashtag, here’s what I’m intending to use.
- #compMAB–will be added to Tweets focused on Comp I or II or general writing stuff.
- #bibleMAB–this will be on things related to ENGL 205, Bible as Literature.
- #amlitMAB–this will be on Tweets related to ENGL 246 or 247, American Literature I and II.
- #jcccMAB–this will go on general school-related stuff.
Keep in mind that nothing on the Twitter field will be absolutely essential to your success. Anything that is essential will be repeated elsewhere: email, D2L, class, etc. However, I think that this has the potential to enrich the courses as well as just reminding you of things.
