Last week, I tried a live blog in my classroom using todaysmeet.com. The idea was fairly simple and the outcome was surprisingly good. I had a serious of questions that I had created on a PowerPoint and the students worked in partners to answer the questions. They entered their answers via the website and we were able to immediately see what each group was thinking.
Overall, the students enjoyed the experience - more for it's novelty than anything else. I thought that the discussions were positive and students worked well by talking with their partner before answering. This is a strategy that I would like to try again in the future. The critical piece is to have a good set of questions - questions that require a high level of thinking and that do not have obvious answers.
