  Educational activities using microblogging co-located with face-to-face communication might promote productive classroom interactions. However, much depends on how teachers design those activities. This article explores how the educational design of an activity that uses microblogging engages lower secondary school students in classroom interactions that are productive for learning. It presents a study of one teacher’s educational design in which students (aged 12–13) in a Norwegian classroom use microblogging to explore distinctions between facts and opinions. Moreover, the authors consider how the students pick up on the educational design. The findings show that an educational design involving microblogging can provide new possibilities to facilitate peer interactions by systematically enabling students to access more of their peers’ ideas, produce and discuss collective ideas and participate in exploratory talk. In particular, the use of hashtags proves suitable for facilitating peer interactions with the aim to develop students’ critical thinking.

  It’s crucial for teachers to support the development of students’ dialogic skills. Such skills refer to the students’ use of language as a tool to enable understanding of each other’s knowledge, which creates the possibility of constructing new knowledge together. Digital technology in classroom activities can support this form of dialogue, but it must be embedded into a classroom’s complex ecosystem to be beneficial. This paper explores how a group of seventh grade students were taught dialogic skills through the integration of microblogging in the classroom. The data analysed consists of video from the classroom, and the study is grounded in sociocultural theory. Findings suggest that integrating microblogging in classroom activities increased participation and made students’ contributions more visible, thus creating the opportunity for students to build on each other’s knowledge. However, this is dependent on the teachers’ facilitation of the activities.

  Digital technologies, such as iPads, mobile phones, laptops, and interactive whiteboards, are now used in most Norwegian classrooms and have, in various ways, changed how teachers and students work and interact. However, despite technology-induced change, language remains our most important tool for learning. Research shows that teaching students in primary and secondary education how they can use their language productively in educational dialogue to learn through interactions is beneficial. Today, explicit teaching of the dialogue skills needed for learning is sparse, and the increased use of digital technology shows a tendency to more individualised activities, leaving less time for interacting in educational dialogue. In this paper, we focus on these challenges and report the findings from a project with teachers from four different schools in Norway. The project aimed to incorporate dialogic pedagogy while using a digital microblogging technology, Talkwall, which is designed to help teachers engage their students in educational dialogue. In Talkwall, students talk together in small groups and write short messages that can be displayed, arranged and distributed across students’ devices and digital whiteboards for discussion in the whole class. The study explored the use of Talkwall in the classroom, specifically the teachers’ practices when combining an explicit focus on educational dialogue and microblogging, and the ways in which microblogging can enhance students’ participation in educational dialogue.
