Simply marvelous, that's what I'll say! remember how students zone out while watching film? Even in AP, even after they've read it, Shakespeare can be, arduous? but using today's meet today to backchannel while watching let my quiet voices be heard-we really could multitask and their comments were very insightful. The loudest voice could not take over here and they enjoyed reading each other's comments. For an assessment tool, it was really fantastic to help me see if they were getting it. It was simple to set up and all participated. Although you do have to walk around and check that they are actually on the site they're supposed to be on, even in AP. Really they are teenagers and it is Shakespeare. Overall though the lesson was marvelous!
