Get discussions going with Google Moderator
August 13, 2010BY MARK SAMBERG
Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I’ve seen a lot of posts in the blogosphere recently about classroom responder services (such as PollEverywhere and PollDaddy). These tools provide a lot of value in the classroom, but there are a few big things they can’t do. While they can ask a question and get an answer, they can’t facilitate a discussion about the question. A solution has arisen from the depths of Google Labs, Google Moderator.
Google Moderator allows for discussion around a single topic. Designed for meetings, this tool facilitates real-time feedback in meetings (like classrooms), or crowdsourcing the development of new ideas.






When it comes to students building models in class, why should they make the same old sugar cube igloo as everyone else when they can create paper replicas of the Capitol building? Creating a 3D model on the computer can be fun for aspiring architects and designers, but the fun doesn’t have to stop at the screen.
