Abstract
A course-specific Twitter hashtag can be used to categorize tweets related to course material. Embedding a Collection of these tweets within a Learning Management System course page is an easy way to share this information with students. A guide to embedding a twitter feed within Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard Learn is provided. Examples of how Twitter can be used to share information to students in a Macroeconomics course are provided. Student survey results indicate that most students agreed that the Twitter feed helped connect the course material to examples, was worthwhile, and stimulated their interest in economics.
