I'm going to try this with a couple of my classes next week. I promise to let you know how it goes! -
We'll be using this on our snowdays. Kids and teachers will meet in scheduled classes and continue to work using this as one of our tools. -
could also be used if you are sick and have a sub... maybe questions could be answered from home -
This is great for PD or extra help. I am going to try it out. -
Will definitely try this... especially with my extesion classes -
I once held a department meeting when I was out of the building using this. I have also used it while showing a movie to classes; students can comment and get questions answered right away. -
I've used it during a video in class. Kids are able to pose questions to each other, provide comments, state their opinions and express themself. Worked great. -
I have also used this at a conference so that our group could backchat during a key presenter
-
Plan to use it for discussion during class movie showing, for which I have in the past used Meebo rooms (no longer available) or piratepad: http://the-ed-rush.blogspot.com/2008/11/talking-through-movie.html This looks like it might work very well. -
Recently I had 9th graders talking to each other and me while they read a selection from their text. A couple of students did not like it, but most said it was helpful in understanding the material they were reading.
-
I use this often during my PBL activities. As students are researching, they post links to websites that are helpful for others and they post their ideas. At the end of the lesson, we look over the list one last time and make our whole-class decision based on our findings. My 5th graders love it and it has made their problem solving much better since it is based on research and collaboration.

The Creativity Killer: Group Discussions - David Sherwin - Life - The Atlantic - 76 views
-
Yes, group activity can provide the impetus for better framing of problems, which can lead to original solutions. But creativity is the "end result of many forms of intelligence coming together, and intelligence born out of collaboration and out of networks," to quote one of my co-workers, Robert Fabricant. When we collaborate with different kinds of thinkers, sometimes from different cultures and backgrounds, we individually struggle with ingrained behaviors that reduce our likelihood of manifesting creativity.
-
Instead of holding an hour-long meeting with a facilitator at the whiteboard, pen poised to capture ideas called out, what would happen if every person in the room were provided five minutes to generate ideas individually?
-
When we lose track of time in group discussion, we are often crafting an enjoyable group experience at the cost of surfacing everyone's unique perspectives and voices. We risk filling the time with consensus, rather than exploring divergent, multi-disciplinary viewpoints. It is in the friction between these views that we explore new patterns of thought.

Web annotations are another form of online commentary. But unlike comments at the bottom of a blog, annotation tools such as Hypothes.is take the form of digital sticky notes. Readers can share their thoughts right next to text they highlight on a web page. The difference is that anyone we share our annotations with (colleagues, friends, students, for instance) can gain insight into our thinking and join a conversation about that digital text.

Building a list of important bookmarks not only is time-consuming, but the list is only available on the individual user's computer. Large collections of bookmarks can quickly become unmanageable and disorganized. Users may not remember why they created a bookmark or what part of the page they were trying to save.1

Fantastic. Share with those who are struggling to get started in their creative writing. Use as a starter in an English lesson. -
Very interesting! -
My question is how this differs from using your Writer's Notebook? -
I am looking for cool ideas for a creative writing course...I feel like this could be a very useful tool.

A great way for children to learn the art of story openings. They have 1 minute to write from a one word stimulus. The site asks for a name & email. I usually just cut and paste the work into Word instead. http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/English
