Name an online room, then just tell people to meet you in that room. No software to install or complicated settings. MIght want to have a pair of headphones handy.
Yes they are. And if a teacher is looking for aplace to allow kids to post the titles and reviews of the books they're reading, this is a good option. I guess it's an alternative to a book report, indeed.
This WOULD be fun, but I doubt that most schools would let their children use the webcam and post their images online like that.
Students can create a slideshow summary of their book with pictures, audio, and text. Other students can leave text, audio, or drawn comments on the book reviews.
This sounds like it's for the younger students, as well. And, it really all depends on the assignment, doesn't it? What are they to be talking about? A story summary, or more?
