TodaysMeet

TodaysMeet gives the students a chance to meet virtually as a group in a room and to discuss or respond to each others' discussion in a private way. The site can be accessed from todaysmeet.com.

The following video shows the basic guidelines for using TodaysMeet.

Theoretical Considerations:

This tool, if used strategically, can make the students motivated. It will also help in agile teaching and learning. Collaborative learning is also another theoretical consideration behind using this tool in the classroom.

Advantages:

1. Teachers can use this tool to get instant responses from the students.

2. Students can share links of their online learning activities in the room with other students. Therefore, they can give feedback to each other and learn in a collaborative environment. 

3. Students do not need to register if the teacher creates an account and opens the room. The teacher can share the passcode and students can use the passcode, enter the room and share the link.

4. The way the room is used can be modified in different ways. The teacher can give security, use the room for as long as a year or can open it for only seven days. Therefore, depending on the purpose of the activity, the feature can be modified. A time limit also allows the teacher to control the submission of the link or the collaborative discussion on an activity.

Limitations:

1. Affordances should be there in order to use it in the classroom. Without a computer or a laptop, students can not use it in the classroom.

Using in Bangladesh:

1. Teachers can use TodaysMeet in the classroom if there is access to the devices and internet. However, it might be best to use it for homework by allowing the chat room for a specific time. As all the students may not have computer or may not bring laptop in the classroom, the teacher needs to ask the students before using it.  

2. Students can use the room for group works and project plans.
