This evolution seems to occur in many new tools. Take YouTube for instance. At first most videos were simply lip sync, crazy pets, etc., but now we can view the entire coursework from Stanford or MIT (even in Chinese). There is still what I’d refer to as ‘stupid’ stuff out there on the web, but more and more things are becoming more and more useful and focused.
Thanks Jeff for starting this conversation.

I really appreciate your plain talk and easy explanation. I’d like to try a back channel with my chemistry students, but I am afraid they will only ‘chat’ and some will be too distracted by it (harder to pay attention to the lesson). I’d love a ‘list’ of times when a back channel chat would work with science…Thanks for your blog.

I found your post and the comments inspiring. I can’t wait to try back channel chat in my classroom. I’m sure there will be a few bumps in the road as we take this new journey but I’m confident we will get there and find this a terrific tool.

I read the before related posts. They are useful for me. I need to talk and conversation in my daily work. However I never spend time to think about the problem you said. Thanks.

I had never even considered doing this, but now this expands my thoughts and ideas as I prepare this upcoming school year. I had no idea something like this was out there.
