ClassSpot

ClassSpot Now this is the kind of stuff I love to see. Actually this link sparked a 40 minute conversation between myself and another ID a AAA NCNU. One of our values is collaboration and it is something that is talked about but never done effectively. I sent off a request for more information because I would like to see how this would work with multiple people in multiple different locations. I see it's use in the class room for sure and I think it should be used. 

I recall a time Biology 101 my first real exposure to the use of high speed Internet access. As the teacher was talking I was searching the web and finding additional information to support what she was talking about. I would print the info and she would go pick it up and communicate it to the class. This is not something that I was asked to do but it kept the information fresh and real time. Now imagine having a tool like ClassSpot that effectively recreated the scenario above with out wasting paper and having the annoying printer in the background.

I too really liked classSpot. I never thought of how useful it would be with people in different locations, that could work very well. I am excited though to try it in my classroom.

They made an intial contact to me. I want to pick their brain's a bit more and see if they will set up a demo for our technology committee. If so I may attempt to get another one set up for our group
