Ideas for Twitter to Flip
• Students follow 10 economics practitioners. For 1 week, watch what these are tweeting, and note 3 trends. Post these trends onto VLE or bring to class. Map these trends to current events.
• Students find 3 experts on a topic of their choice, to follow on Twitter. Students may wish to do this using an impersonal account (?). Students ask the experts their opinion of the topic, the current event, whatever it may be. Do these opinions make sense, change students’ perception of the topic?
