What does your faculty meeting look like?

Why have a faculty meeting?

Changing the Paradigm

Edcamps are unconferences for educators where learners share their experiences and their professional expertise in a collaborative, interactive learning environment. Edcamps are based on Open Space Technology (OST) which states that “whoever comes are the right people and whatever happens are the only things that could have” (Boule, 2011).

Back ChannelingToday’s Meet - TodaysMeet works like a chat room – you create a room, choose a timeframe for how long the room stays open (two hours to one month), enter your name, then start chatting. The text box is limited to 140 characters, just like a tweet.

PollEverywhere - PollEverywhere approaches the backchannel a bit differently, identifying itself as an audience response system. First, it’s anonymous; there is no space to enter a name, which could generate interesting responses.

Socrative -Socrative is a smart response system that empowers an administrator by engaging their teachers with

a series of educational exercises and games within a meeting. Socrative runs on any mobile device.

MicroMobs-Chatzy - Chatzy provides a free platform for hosting your private chat area. To use it, simply name your chat area, select your privacy settings (you can password protect it), then send out invitations. Instead of sending out invitations you could just post the link to your chat area.
