TodaysMeet is a good tool TICE to create and propose an online discussion space for participants in a conference or course.
TodaysMeet has more than one asset to better understand, probe and feel what a group of participants in a conference or presentation think.
The tool stands out for its simplicity and flexibility. No registration is required to start using it. No software to download, everything is done from a browser on a computer, tablet or mobile. Setting up a discussion space via TodaysMeet takes 2 seconds. No need for long preparations the day before, here you can create your space a few seconds before your course.
On the homepage, you are invited to create your chat room. You give it a name and then you set the opening time. Your virtual space is indeed intended to disappear and be erased. You choose the time according to your needs: 2 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, a week or a month. One click and you are in your virtual room. All you have to do is give the unique URL to the participants of your conference so that they can connect to it. Upon their arrival online they will just be asked to choose a nickname.
And that’s it. Your chat channel is open. You go from the corner of the eye to see the reactions of the room, or the questions that some may ask themselves; you can play the tool during your presentation, ask questions, ask if this or that point has been understood. Delicate exercise, but very rich. You can project the chat window onto the big screen or keep it in a corner of your computer. In the end, this is very similar to what is being done more and more in some conferences with Twitter. Except that your audience is not always on Twitter and then you may also sometimes want to keep it private or reserved for a discussion.
In the classroom.
A simple tool to create a link and a place of exchange with course participants. It will allow you to maintain the attention of your auditors by giving them a space for exchange and intervention. However, unlike tools like Twitter, with this closed space, you will prevent your viewers’ attention from scattering too quickly.
TodaysMeet is a simple, convenient and completely free tool.
