DESCRIPTION
About educanon
eduCanon is an online learning environment to build and share interactive video lessons. Teachers begin with any YouTube, Vimeo, or TeacherTube video content (screencasts, Khan Academy, Minute Physics, TED, NOVA, etc.) and transform what is traditionally passive content into an active experience for students. By time-linking activities that students engage with as the video progresses the content is segmented into digestible components - increasing student engagement and, through our real-time monitoring, informing the next day’s lesson planning.

Book Discussions

Jen Moyers at Broadway High School uses TodaysMeet with her English classes.  In this case, her students were participating in book discussions.  The inner circle was having a live book discussion.  The outer circle was using TodaysMeet to have an online chat.  Those students were divided into four groups.  Each group was logged into their respective chat room.  Their assignment was to write down two discussion questions about the book they were reading.  In the chat, they had to pose their questions to each other and discuss them as a group.  Afterwards, Mrs. Moyers could log into the chat and print the transcript.
