“It is very efficient in hosting discussions and is definitely a
great tool to use in every class” -- Chaitra
“It was user-friendly and a quick method of input” – Yad
“It is good because we can share and present any ideas that we
have without any pressure”. - Group1
What is that “it” they are talking about? It is
about TodaysMeet.com - a backchannel tool which helps connect the
talkative and shy participants in realtime. It is a website that allows
students and teachers to share their thoughts as discussions and comment on the
actions by others. In my economics class, I posted the following question
in todaysmeet.com.
The students shared the media tool that they were going to use for
presenting their Economics Fairy tale project and got feedback on
their choice/s from their peers as well as the teachers. The amazing advantage
was the remote participation by Ms. Geetha, who recommended various technology
solutions/options toward this project. This tool is very useful to
“make comments, ask questions, sharpen one’s points” and last, but not the
least to address all students’ needs.
