Edtech Tofu: Using FormMule and IFTTT for a moderated student twitter feed. Just about a year ago, I had the pleasure of camping with +Jasper Fox. We talked about Twitter in the classroom as we sat around the fire. As usual, the conversation was great, we strategized about a Google form that a would allow students to compose tweets and the teacher to moderate them directly to Twitter. It took me a year to realize this simple workflow, but I think my teachers will love it in September. It’s purposeful, student centered, helps to reinforce digital citizenship, has an authentic audience, and promotes a positive home/school connection: win, win, win, win, and win. This recipe has five components: A simple Google Form linked to an “old” spreadsheetThe FormMule Script from New Visions for Public Schools (thus the “old” spreadsheet)A Gmail account created specifically for this process An If This Then That recipeA classroom Twitter account Then, add a column labeled “Moderated” to the responses sheet and install the New Visions FormMule script.
