The teacher began by explaining what backchanneling was, and the reason for the class to be using it
-
during the video, the students were encouraged to ask each other questions about what was happening in the video, help each other understand topics or themes they may not have understood, and to answer prepared questions the teacher was going to post.
-
he should take his series of prepared questions and number them with "Q1", "Q2", etc. Then, when the students decided to answer one of the questions he posed in the backchannel, they would begin their answer with "Q1:", or "Q2:" - this way, in the end, it would be easier to see what questions got answered.
-
- the students were engaged in 50 minutes of this video,
- they were collaborating in real time with one another in a mode that did not overtly bother any other student (or teacher),
- the "playing field was leveled" because each student was sitting at a single computer (mixture of desktops and laptops - old and new), and finally,
- the teacher was able to produce a "transcript" (of 20 pages in length!), which accurately shows what each student was thinking during the experience.
- Oh yea, and when asked later, the students DO want to do this activity again! :-)

As I watched this continue, my one suggestion to the teacher was that the next time he did this (and he plans to work with it again), he should take his series of prepared questions and number them with "Q1", "Q2", etc. Then, when the students decided to answer one of the questions he posed in the backchannel, they would begin their answer with "Q1:", or "Q2:" - this way, in the end, it would be easier to see what questions got answered.

Crista Anderson"This was an awesome first experience with backchanneling in our middle school. In the past, when teachers used a long video (more than a few minutes in length) with students, one could easily observe students "tuning out" the video, trying hard to keep their eyes open, and generally getting *nothing* out of the experience. So not true with this experience!"

Peggy GeorgeOne of the eighth grade social studies teachers at my middle school decided to try and engage his students even more during a
classroom video by incorporating the backchanneling tool, TodaysMeet. (Note: TodaysMeet is a "closed" backchannel system. The class had to be given the direct URL to the "room" where the backchanneling would take place.) From that point, during the video, the students were encouraged to ask each other questions about what was happening in the video, help each other understand topics or themes they may not have understood, and to answer prepared questions the teacher was going to post. Each student was sitting at either a laptop or desktop machine.backchannel web2.0 education backchanneling middleschool todaysmeet

Michael WalkerAs we saw with Mogulus, there are many other tools for backchanneling. "CoverItLive" is one that many use for embedding on a blog and allowing students to log in and chat.

they should identify themselves with their first name at least. (Note: TodaysMeet is a "closed" backchannel system. The class had to be given the direct URL to the "room" where the backchanneling would take place.)

"I understood the video more using this (todaysmeet) than just watching it" This comment from a student stands out more than any throughout the day.
