Public Stiky Notes

    Also, if my students and I are presenting, we try to encourage backchannel chatting through our Google Preso, so it's on the board and easy for even those *not* backchannelling to see and benefit.

    However, only few participants seem to backchannel at all or know what it is.

    It's often difficult to present and monitor the backchannel too, so it's handy to have a buddy pause you and tell you the questions in there. That way you can give full attention to those who aren't backchannelling, yet acknowledge the questions that people have. Of course there is the odd technique of folks raising their own hands...

    I often find valuable insights & extra resources in the chat or backchannels; and if the presenter is also paying attention to it, they often answer important questions on the spot.

    I feel the same way about it. As a student I see twitter as a great learning experience.

    I actually have done this in my classroom. You might want to check out my backchanneling resources at this URL: http://integratingtech.wikispaces.com

    Is there a case for having the backchannel (tweets) visible alongside the ppt? maybe a "tweet-meter"? Not neccessarily large enough to read the content but an indication to the presenter and the audience of the volume of "conversation" surrounding points under discussion ...

    This is actuall how I do most of my own PD. I'm very rarely live in one place as I learn

    An interesting option for online classes?

    I highly recommend having a moderator who can pass questions on to the presenter from the backchannel. It really can allow the presenter to address the audienece's needs.
