Twitter and Wikipedia are the main focal points of this section: How can we use the two platforms, and what utility can they have for us as instructors? In the section, you will find everything from hands-on assignments to be used in the classroom—collaborative tweeting and editing of Wikipedia articles—to longer projects using Twitter as part of the graded assignments for your class and using Wikipedia as a historian in order to understand the implications of students’ academic writing. Many of the pedagogical tools, assignments, and exercises described also employ a “critical attitude” towards the use of social media, contextualizing the pitfalls and potential dangers of such platforms.
