Favorite Student Tweets: French “Hotties,” Kayaks, and WTF Is Mame?

Posted by on Mar 17, 2011 in film, social media, teaching and academia, twitter in the classroom | 0 comments

This entry is part 8 of 9 in the series Favorite Student Tweets.

After a week’s hiatus (spring break, y’all!), Favorite Student Tweets is back. Here’s the rundown:

In Cinema History, we watched Jean Renoir’s Grand Illusion and Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves. And in Introduction to Film, the students have been working through some online content on film noir and documentary, hence their references to Gilda (with Rita Hayworth) and Nanook of the North.

Be on the lookout; special Double Indemnity and Rashomon editions of Favorite Student Tweets are coming soon!
