Educator Stacey Roshan from techieMusings shares this great, simple project:

I work with a group of 9-12th grade students (very mixed skill level) and decided to do a unit focusing on social media. After the launch of TED-Ed, I got to thinking that maybe I could tie it all together …

So I had my students create a Twitter account and a Storify account. We watched “The Cockroach Beatbox” together as a class (I paused for clarification and to allow them to tweet along the way). They tweeted things they learned and things they thought interesting while watching the video.

Here are a couple examples:
