Today's Meet - Back Channeling in the Classroom

Today's Meet is a great online tool that allows teachers to instantly create a discussion room. There is no registration process either for teachers and students, which makes this a great "spur of the moment" classroom tool. You can give the URL of the room you create to students, who can enter the room by typing in their first name.  You now have a simple online shared space where students can ask and answer questions during lessons, engaging in the powerful tool of backchanneling.  Give it a try  .... it literally takes 10 seconds to set up a room!  You and your students will love it!
