The Four C's in STEM: Communication with TodaysMeet

If you have not used a backchannel while attending a lecture or seminar, backchannels are a way for participants to interact with the main conversation simultaneously. Like an encouraged form of passing notes in class, except for the fact that all these notes are posted in a forum and directly related to the day's seminar or lecture.

TodaysMeet is one such example.  Before the lecture, workshop, or seminar, access the site and name your "room" and select how long the data should be stored.  This creates your very own URL that you can share with attendees who can then access a very clean chat screen to comment.

It's that simple.  No accounts to create, no passwords to remember. And the best part is that anyone can access a transcript to remember what has been discussed (or keep track of student participation or...ahem...appropriate and on-task comments.)
