[Air-L] Do you have Twitter assignments?

[Chris Peterson]

I've had 300-level (and grad) students in my media studies courses create Twitter bots as a way of exploring agency, materiality, inscriptions, infrastructures, etc. It's worked for nontechnical students too (a related assignment in grad school is actually how I learned Python). The bots don't need to be technically complex or challenging to be intellectually interesting. 

Here are the relevant snippets from my syllabus last year: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XuajU_4F2wigVbk0DQCoRmGhVXaUhqmHtZC4pCMDLsw/mobilebasic#h.pe0ebnfp60mi
