Twitter Notes to PowerPoint

NESI teachers find Dave Johnson’s suggested ways to use Twitter improves classroom PowerPoint presentations. They use:

1. The add-on PowerPoint Feedback Slides to insert student feedback clouds with a presentation. They configure it, so they can moderate feeds before they post.

2. The real-time PowerPoint Twitter Ticker Bar at the bottom of the slide to display the last 10 tweets that match the PP slide.

3. The PowerPoint Twitter Voting function to student responses to teacher Qs on a PowerPoint slide. Twitter tallies the results and displays them as a bar or pie chart.

4. The PowerPoint Auto Tweet to push PowerPoint notes out to students via Twitter in real time, as teachers flip to each side. Teachers control what goes out by wrapping tweeted notes in twitter tags.

Thanks, Dave, for pointing us to these Twitter functions. Kudos, Teachers for adapting them to classrooms.
