Sabrina mentioned Hoot Suite and Buffer, both of which are platforms that allow you to monitor several twitter accounts, schedule tweets in advance, and more!

RebelMouse is a tool for collecting and aggregating and displaying tweets on Twitter that use the same hashtag. There’s a WordPress integration that allows you to put these tweets on your B@B blog! For example, check out SimplicityArchive which (for a short period of time) aggregated tweets labelled “simple living”.

Shared from the CTL Blog, below you’ll find a GoogleDoc that offers some fairly quick ideas of how you can adapt your class meeting to an online format using tools that are free and widely available to Baruch faculty. The CTL staff is available to help you brainstorm and figure this out whether it’s through a workshop or one-on-one consultation. Please reach out to us at ctl@baruch.cuny.edu.

Many thanks to Cristina Balboa, Assistant Professor from the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, and Cheryl Smith, Associate Professor of English and CTL Faculty Liaison, for their contributions to this resource.
