If we broaden the definition of backchanneling to include participants who are not present for the live discussion-then we add a whole other realm to the discussion whereby students must synthesize infomation in order to ask questions and make comments. This also makes an argument for the need to change from the traditional passive presentation or lesson to a more participatory approach, being careful not to exclude auditory and verbal learners in the process.

The session was fast paced and time limited so the backchannel offered the perfect opportunity to post links that participants couldn't possibly keep up with during the session. The backchannel stayed open after the session so participants could reflect and go back to the saved notes and links. In my opinion, it worked because there were three presenters. One presenter at a time presented while the other two followed the backchannel conversation. I couldn't keep up with both conversations at the same time, but I was intrigued. I can definitely see the benefit in the backchannel and would like to use it at pd with my faculty. I'm not sure about the logistics of setting up a backchannel but will look into making it happen in the fall. I'll let you know how it goes.

It pushes me to my limit, though, and I don't think I'm as natural a multitasker as some may be. I haven't fully overcome the feeling that I'm not being rude, and I feel a little like a student amongst others in the back row of the classroom passing notes around. I think it opens a whole new way of operating, and it might solve the problem of students fidgeting or zoning out, as long as it was structured in a way that kept them on task. I think it will take a while for most teachers to see it in a positive light because they expect students to sit still, face them, and do nothing but listen when they're teaching. I can understand why. I'm not sure; I'm interested in what others think. The frontchannel is an interesting idea, but I'd like more specific details about how it works if you're teaching or presenting. All interesting. I find backchannel chat challenging and invigorating.
