Looking for a way for students to write comments during class for all to see and interact.
TodaysMeet is the answer. It is a safe environment for students to post comments, a bit like Twitter, but all comments are just seen by those who are given the URL to join the discussion. It is easy for a teacher to moderate the comments, and the students are not off on the Internet using an open, public site like Twitter.
TodaysMeet is excellent for backchanneling, having a place for students to write comments and pose questions while a class is in session. Check out at the site's
About TodaysMeet, and then grab some friends, set up a room at the main
TodaysMeet page by entering a URL, and then sending the URL to those you want to join in.
TodaysMeet is definitely a powerful teaching tool. Here is also a
video to learn more about TodaysMeet. Additionally, check this blog post one educator wrote about using the tool:
