A3 Without having extensive experience, I imagine that both in-the-moment and captured thinking require similar thinking...
#tcmchat

A3 using nearpod lets me glance at everyone's answers and diagrams and project in ascending order or to emphasize a certain skill

A3 However, I do see value in being able to rewind and revisit thinking to help us select.

A4: Screencasting is definitely a powerful way for Ss to share their work and have others critique their reasoning.
#TCMChat
Zakchamp
Apr 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT
Totally - and it can make it easier to share that work with the rest of the class.

Anne, good point. Technology should be used strategically to be sure it is not just an add on.
#TCMchat
MarkChubb3
Apr 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT
A4 Often as Ss are thinking, they write down their process. SMP4 might ask them to make a final product of their thoughts
#tcmchat
megyzr
Apr 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT
A4: when Ss listen, respond to each other's screencast, even early learners. Oppty to agree/not, say why, give feedback, etc.
#TCMchat

In
@CueThink
Ss watch each other's vids and can leave comments. So experiencing both sides of SMP3 at the same time.
#TCMchat
MarkChubb3
Apr 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT
A4 Being able to listen to others' thinking opens up the door for more conversation about others' reasoning!
