Teach in Your Pajamas



With the string of bad weather we've been having I have been holding a lot of my meetings virtually (using webcams, chatrooms, etc.). Faculty members at STJ are also thinking about how they can teach virtually while still making it feel like a face-to-face class. One tool that I recently found out about is Tinychat http://www.tinychat.com/ . In my opinion this tool beats out Skype and ooVoo because it allows 12 people to video chat, unlimited people to text chat, and has tools that allow you to share your screen, write on a shared whiteboard, and collaborate on a document. Just give participants a URL to your chat room and they are in without even having to create an account. Next time there is bad weather don't cancel class, move it to your computer.
