I just learned about it at ISTE and have been playing around with it this summer and so far I love it. You can see who is online and who has been online (not what time periods though). The chat is saved forever until YOU clear it, so even if you aren't online you can see what was written. There is also a video chat tool to use if desired.<br /><br />I have study groups for each unit that the students can use every night (we'll see how much they do!) and then I figured the couple nights before a test I would set up a specific time I would definitely log in and be there to help.<br /><br />Last year I did my first study groups via just a live Google Doc. The kids loved it (I had between 15-25 participate the few times I did it). I just didn't like the structure and that the students were all "anonymous users" because of the way it was set up. This way you know exactly who you are talking to.<br /><br />I would check out ThinkBinder and see what you think :)Crystal Kirchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701759790348069890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826033856235063878.post-14631813361128228202012-08-12T11:55:40.443-07:002012-08-12T11:55:40.443-07:00Hi Crystal,

I am definitely going to steel....er... "borrow" some of your great ideas! I did have a question that you may have answered in another post; what program are you using for your online study groups? I have been toying with the idea of creating a Google+ hangout for my students but worry if I can't monitor it all the time. I'm also debating on doing an online "extra help" session once or twice a week via JoinMe. I definitely think some kind of online extra help would benefit my students since most of them don't realize what they don't understand until they are home and working through the material. I get a lot of 8pm emails! Have you done online study groups in the past? How did they work out? I'd love to come up with a safe way to have some online extra help, any feedback you have would be great!Elizabeth Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892163109013159928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826033856235063878.post-30238564038684201252012-07-25T11:47:46.564-07:002012-07-25T11:47:46.564-07:00Thanks Heather!

Your parent video gave me some ideas to get started, and got me HOOKED on PowToons, so thanks :)<br />Hope you are getting a little rest this summer before the year starts!<br /><br />Crystal :)Crystal Kirchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701759790348069890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826033856235063878.post-83577422174603315662012-07-24T10:06:15.377-07:002012-07-24T10:06:15.377-07:00Crystal, this is really good.

I like how we approach things from different angles, so even when we are talking about the same thing, I can always learn something more from you in your presentatios. Just goes to show that different disciplines can learn from each other. I am glad that you are a member of my PLN!<br /><br />Heather<br /><i><b><a href="http://spanishflippedclass.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Spanish Flipped Class Blog</a></b></i>Sra Wittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00690564737411653312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826033856235063878.post-62883251371469484542012-07-24T08:35:58.817-07:002012-07-24T08:35:58.817-07:00Thanks Nicole!

The webcam intro/conclusion were the two parts I was considering re-filming... so I might do that in the next week or so when I add the captions. <br />Thanks for sharing YOUR stuff as well!

I'm a little nervous about starting the year flipped from Day 1 before I have relationships set in stone like I did last year, but hopefully this is one of many small steps I am taking to ensure that! I will definitely be blogging a lot come the start of school :). How's your blog coming along?Crystal Kirchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701759790348069890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826033856235063878.post-24009019996882301952012-07-23T20:32:03.488-07:002012-07-23T20:32:03.488-07:00You did a great job giving the parents a synopsis ...You did a great job giving the parents a synopsis of the flipped classroom - you included all very relevant points and details. I think it would be helpful if you slowed down in the webcam introduction. When you are speaking in the very beginning, the webcam video makes you seem like you are in fast forward mode, but speaking quickly doesn't distract when the powtoon presentation is on the screen. Amazing work as usual. Thanks for continuing to share your brilliant ideas!Nicole Cremeenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288336661182990306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3826033856235063878.post-26768169087614486912012-07-23T19:53:32.096-07:002012-07-23T19:53:32.096-07:00WoW Crystal...this looks really cool.
