How to Make Class Movies Truly Interactive using Today's Meet

My movies in Social Studies have gone from a strictly viewing experience to a "watch and listen, write, read and respond" experience.



I create a room using the website, Todays Meet, and students quickly sign in without passwords.  They are encouraged to take all of their notes within our class backchannel.  I'm thrilled at all of the interaction and reflection that takes place during this process.

As you can see above, students are even encouraged to add hashtags to further display some of their reactions to the movie.

How do you use backchannel sites like Today's Meet in your classroom?
