Listing of the various chats on Twitter via hashtags, i.e. #elemchat #educhat, etc.

Cover It Live is a Web-based program that allows educators to have live discussions-or chats- online for free. Many education bloggers have found the site useful because it allows them to embed discussion threads directly into a personal Web space. Rather than having to rely on a static comment thread for reader feedback, Cover It live adds a real-time element to blogging discussions. The online interface includes features that allow users to upload and share multimedia files, including videos, photos, Web links, and group polling data. An added featue lets Twitter users access the conversation and conribute "tweets," or short comments, that they've posted on the microblogging site Twitter. Late participants can also instantly replay a conversation after it has ended. To set up a conversation, a group moderator must register and create the forum space; then anyone can join without having to register for the service.

TodaysMeet helps you embrace the backchannel and connect with your audience in realtime. Encourage the room to use the live stream to make comments, ask questions, and use that feedback to tailor your presentation, sharpen your points, and address audience needs.
