[|Today'sMeet] is a great tool. You create a "room." Students join your room, and now you have a community note-taking room. It would be great if you had a few laptops (or ipod touches) in the room while a movie was going, students are presenting or you are lecturing. Students could be responsible for adding notes to the room to make sure everyone is involved and stays engaged. If you have a projector, you could have the room displayed and you can watch notes being added. Students could also use it to ask questions that you could address or other student could answer. I have been in classes where it has been used. It is very effective and fun. //Karen//

[|Jing] is the best tool I have used for taking screenshots and screen casts. It is a free download and has been cleared by APS for downloading. I have been having the students use it, since they don't have clipping tools on their accounts. //Karen//
