TodaysMeet

TodaysMeet at http://www.todaysmeet.com is a GREAT way for teachers to set up a collaborative environment. Although it is on the web, it is fairly private. The only way for people to access the site is by a link. The link can be share via e-mail to participants. It is similar to having an unlisted number in the phone book, only people who know the address can get in. One example of how to use this tool is to set one up for students to be on during a class lecture. This “back channel” is a way for students to collaborate and comment on material that is being presented. Teachers can then monitor the “back channel” and adjust the instruction based on student feedback. What are your thoughts on TodaysMeet?

    I have enjoyed using TodaysMeet because of the interaction and sharing information between several people at once. Another feature is being able to go back to reread what we talked about on a previous session.
