TWITTER
Combining Twitter with compatible apps such as educreations is an easy way to verify if students have understood specific skills. For example, ask each student to complete a long division question while 'thinking aloud' on educations. Using the class account and his or her initials, the student then tweets the educreations. The teacher can view these mini videos at his or her convenience and determine who needs to revisit the lesson.
