I think it's interesting that there are so many options for backchannels. I never even knew what a backchannel was last year. Have you tried:
Google Moderator? Here's a nice review by Jennie Magiera, @MsMagiera, Today's Meet is Yesterday's Backchannel: Getting Chatty with Google Moderator. I've used it twice and both times found it a little confusing. I need to try it again.
Or
TitanPad? I used that today in the live Simple K12 webinars.
Or
Edmodo or Twitter? I used Twitter in the live EdmodoCon sessions I watched. Not much interaction though. I think I should have tuned into the Edmodo community possibly. I'm not sure.
Or
Today's Meet? I love Today's Meet. I used it with Kathy Schrock in a her live webinar. She's lightning fast by the way and extremely interesting if you ever get the chance to participate in her training classes. It's the best I've used so far.
Or
Google Docs? In a heartbeat I would use Google Docs for a backchannel with a class that's comfortable with Google Docs.
Or
Padlet.com? Kiddos love Padlet and I think adults do too! I'm not kean on it for large groups but crowds smaller than 30 I think it's beautiful. Tony Vincent does a supreb job describing Padlet and Lino, here.
I need to do some more research before MBUSD TechCon on August 20th so I pick the best one(s) for my 3 presentations. If you have advice, I'm all ears. Please share your experience below in the comments if you have ideas or suggestions.
