Interacting with Agricultural Policy 280 Characters at a Time: Twitter in the Classroom

Julianne Treme

Applied Economics Teaching Resources (AETR), 2020, vol. 2, issue 3

Abstract: This article describes how Twitter can be used as a pedagogical tool to increase student engagement with agricultural policy both inside and outside of the classroom. This assignment, which can be tailored by instructors to meet learning objectives for a variety of course levels, can be used specifically to bridge the gap between economic graphs and real-world applications. In addition to increasing student familiarity with current events and real-world application of agricultural policy, the Twitter assignment requires students to operate on every level of Bloom’s taxonomy with a focus on students’ creativity and critical analysis skills.
