Mathematweets

Twitter can be a valuable tool for tracking learning in short, one-sentence summaries. As students tweet their learning progress, frustrations, and accomplishments, they form a community of learners who can support each other in the online environment. »

Tweeting for Accountability
(and learning)
Good tweet:
#m161 (hr 103): Learned the first two parts of the chain rule HW, but I'm not seeing how I choose the u-subs, or WHY I do that anyways.
Bad tweet:
#m161 (hr 103): Studied 4.3 for one hour.
For every hour they study   for Calculus, students should answer the question: 
"What are you learning?
#m161 (hr 21) it seems like this chapter got a lot easier as it progressed. cranking through 2.7 before hockey.

#m161 clawing my way through 3.7
Originally the question was "What are you studying?"
#m161 (hr 9) worked on 2.7 and 2.8 last night. Kind of had fun :) Just need to study for the exam
#m161 (hr 21) done with the 3.1s, starting 3.2

#m161 (hr 18) keep forgetting to update this. Finished 3.1A yesterday and on to 3.1B.
#m161 (hr 23) trying the activities for 3.4 because i got stuck on 3.4C.
I realized later that I was asking  the wrong question.
Failed Experiment
but I learned how to improve the next try
I need to model what I want to see in the Tweetstream.
More Tweeting Practice
More visibility and course integration
