A Trip to Awesometown with Google Forms and a Classroom Twitter Feed

If you use Google Forms and you think Twitter could be a useful learning tool for you, keep reading. John Calvert came up with a work around that allows teachers to moderate Google Form submissions and have them auto post to a classroom Twitter feed.

This workaround is immediately useful for me because:

1. The student tweets demonstrate avenues for more exploration and discussion.
2. Feedback is meaningful, almost immediate and helpful to my students.
3. I can manage the feed by approving worthy student responses.
4. The form challenges my students be ultra focussed with their feedback.
5. Introduces Twitter to students who would not otherwise be using it. 
6. Students don't need a Twitter account.
7. Fun and accessible to anyone who can submit a Google Form! 

Other applications:

1. Intra school, department feeds.
2. PD feed.
3. Cross curricular, cross team feeds.
4. ?

What you need:

1. Google Form
2. Add on: Form Mule
3. Gmail account (used only for this integration)
4. Twitter account 
5. IFTTT recipe
