"Comments4Kids is a way for students and teachers to find blogs to comment on and to get their own posts commented on."

Connect - We invite you to join or log in to our social network for youth voices, where students and teachers work together (see Curriculum and Guides) to create student-to-student conversations and collaborations. We hope that you will make Youth Voices your destination for many different activities in school and out. Comment - Be heard. This is a place for you to engage in discussions. To find something that you may want to comment on: * search with keywords in the search box * choose one of the New/Current Discussions * consider the Popular Discussions, the ones with the most comments * browse by Topics * find posts by members of your school or community groups We encourage you to spend a lot of time writing thoughtful comments back and forth on other students' Discussions. Create - Be known. Show who you are through your creativity and scholarship. At Youth Voices you can post updates many times each day on the microblog, What's up? And you can use your cell phone to post audio. You can also create, revise, and polish three types of Discussions: * audio podcasts * text with embedded media * discussions that begin with videos and VoiceThreads

"Comments let you apply notes, questions, or observations to a passage on a wiki page - it's kind of like slapping a Post-it note onto the wiki page. Because they're linked to a specific part of the page, comments show you exactly which words they're about (unlike with an email or discussion post). And because the comments can be revealed or collapsed, they let you look at a page as either as an appreciative audience or a critical editor, depending on your needs."

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.
