Today's Meet - Student Discussion on Digital Citizenship

Today's Meet (https://todaysmeet.com/) is a Discussion Board or Back Channel and is perfect for use with Students to discuss any topic under the planet!  Once you launch the program, you can either get started right away without signing in or use the signup option which gives more features for the end user.  It is easy to use from all perspectives and acts in real time.  The 'Room' can be set up to stay open for hours, days, months or a year.  Students can access it anywhere there is an internet connection....home, school, other classrooms, etc.

Ideas for Today'sMeet use with Students:
* Chat about Digital Citizenship - perfect forum...they're online working with a digital tool! Great way to teach respectful and responsible online discussion.
* Have back channel for any subject being taught in the classroom.  Students can ask questions and then the presenter can leaf through the questions to help clarify during their presentation.
* Homework help - Students can access it to ask questions they have about their homework.  Anyone else online at the time can comment, help or ask their own questions.


Happy Meeting!
