Shortly after beginning, they texted a couple more classmates, who joined their discussion a few minutes later.
• "We saw that constantly in students' snippets," Doshi said. "They'd take a picture of a study area and say they were looking for an empty table. But when you look at the pictures, there were four-person tables and only one person sitting at them."

• Teachers can create one email address for their class and give it to all of their students to use to publish to a class blog.

   

  Just ask your students to add their username or some other way of identifying themselves at the beginning or end of the email.
