Lecture Interaction with Hotseat
I came across an article on Mashable today about a new way that students at Purdue University are interacting in their classroom. Instructors are using a new tool for Facebook and Twitter called Hotseat. Basically, instructors give students an opportunity to ask questions or give short responses using their Facebook or Twitter accounts, and other students can vote for responses that they would like to see addressed in the class. Watch the video to get a better idea of what Hotseat is.
I don’t know about you, but I would like to see this used at The University of Akron. Most of us are on Facebook during class anyway. I say professors should take advantage of that. What do you think?
