Webcast with Backchanneling

Students today watched a live webcast about the book series 39 Clues put on by Scholastic and the authors of the books.  The webcast focused on the traits of writing.  You can check on the webcast and resources at http://scholastic.com/decodingwriting/.  The students backchanneled while watching the video.  Backchanneling is chatting about what is being watched.  You can check out a log of the conversation at http://todaysmeet.com/39cluescast/transcript (you can skip the Twitter comments at the top.)  The backchannel wasn't a home run, but many students did very well with it.  I hope you enjoy.
