A little over a week ago, I wrote a post about different ways to use TodayMeet in the classroom. Well I have run across another one thanks to Ms. Armstrong and Mrs. Edelblut at Seven Pines Elementary. They are using TodaysMeet as a means of having teachers, parents, and family members give words of encouragement to the students before they take their big SOL and HATs Tests. Every morning before the students take their test, they will visit the website as a class to read the words of wisdom.
You can do this too! It is super easy! Just go to TodayMeet.com, name your “chat room,” and pick how long you want the website to be open: 2, 8, or 12 hours, one day, one week, or one month. After you have created the website, share it out with all your teacher colleagues, your students’ parents, or anyone else you think your students might enjoy hearing from to wish your class words of encouragement. (Hint: You get to make up your name when posting, so famous people stopping by isn’t out of the question! Ha!)
Here’s a screenshot from one class:
