Katherine Robinson How cool is this? 24 Jan 2013 - 13:18:58

It has all kinds of benefits to me. I get to learn how connected the audience is to what I'm saying, and their response to these ideas. - dfw

Jeannine Way cool...but how many teachers or faculty can handle their students not 'paying attention' to just them during class!? 24 Jan 2013 - 13:19:48

Well, if the teacher has access to what the students were typing, if their chatting becomes part of the learning materials, if they are generating content from their chatting, then they may come to take it more seriously. There would certainly be some abuse in the beginning. But this would eventually become a general part of the learning practice. - dfw
