Even the most connected of the student realize how distracting it is to have these kinds of parallel conversations while trying to make some sort of coherent presentation. How to keep that initial attention you win with the meebo stunt? Not sure.

He told me once that it would be hard for him to go back to f2f teaching *without* passing notes to students while he's teaching.<BR/><BR/>I'm curious about the IM / Meebo thing during class ... may try it one of these days. Definitely sounds like a way to engage some folks -- but how to keep yourself engaged with them AND with the f2f students?CogSciLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738441672197344546noreply@blogger.com
