Moreover, a minor percentage of disengaged students will always be inclined to gossip on non-course related topics. Negative predispositions against Twitter are indeed colored by non-participatory uses thatpresent as distractors in the aforementioned situations.The key then is to repurpose texting during class sessions by making it participatory. That includes making thenumber and relevancy of the tweets count as a percentage of the final grade, and monitoring of the tweet streamduring class by either the instructor or a teaching assistant to address issues raised by students on-the-fly.Prominent projection of the transcript, either on a
