For my technology assignment, I will have students create an account on Twitter to follow the latest and greatest health information. The Twitter 'about us' page states, "The timely bits of information that spread through Twitter can help you make better choices and decisions and, should you so desire, creates a platform for you to influence what’s being talked about around the world." Health is all about making lifestyle changes and advocating for a better quality of life as well. Having my students sign up for an account, reading other classmates tweets about health related topics, and responding to them will aid in their overall knowledge and appreciation for health. It is also a way for classmates to connect and be active in their learning process.
Assignment:
-Click here to access Twitter's home page.
-Click "Join here" and fill out the information required.
-Follow the three step process in creating your profile. Make sure to click on the 'health' topic on the sidebar to get news feeds to help you find resourced health information. Also, add me and your group members (assigned in class) as some of the people you would like to follow to know what is expected of each tweet assignment.
-Lastly, choose an article that shows up in your news feed that looks interesting to you and post the link in your 'What's Happening' profile. This will be global and your classmates and I will be able to check it out!
