Hi all, I've been pondering how to have groups simultaneously report responses to open-ended application questions. My class will be 75 students (13 groups) and the classroom is much longer than it is wide. I was considering having students use whiteboards but depending on how the teams move their desks around, I'm not sure how easy it will be for everyone to see everyone else's answer. I am hoping there will be at least one laptop in each group but wifi in the building is sometimes iffy (gotta love old state schools). It just dawned on me that if I use Twitter or some other service that allows students to text to a website, I could show their responses with the computer projector (and the 160 character limit might actually be a good thing for keeping students, and myself, focused on a specific choices). Has anyone had students text their group responses in? Any suggestions on sites that would allow this, other than Twitter? I've always been a bit hesitant to do this in the past because I didn't want to require students be able to text (or have to pay for it) but these days, I can't imagine there won't be at least one person in each group who has unlimited texting on their phone. Thoughts? thanks!
