Twiddla is a collaboration website where you can start a public meeting with others. They call it a meeting playground. It basically looks like a huge whiteboard where you can draw, chat, use audio, add images, webpages, and documents. You can also share a document for everyone to edit together at the same time. One thing nice about it is that you can share the link for your meeting and anyone can join your public meeting without even having an account on the website. I had fun playing with it and adding shapes and designs. I would say that it takes a little bit of playing around to figure out all of the features. I could see this being a good collaboration tool as a teacher. I think this could also be used as a collaboration between students since joining the meeting is only a matter of typing in a link to join. I am not sure if I would use this one over some of the other ones we have learned in class, but it is definitely worth checking out.
Here is my Thinglink example. This is something I could share with students or others about Riverfront Park.
Twiddle is not a tool that I spent much time looking at! I love that you are able to use audio, add images, and add documents as well as have the ease of the whiteboard collaboration. This is unlike any tool that I looked at! I really appreciate the YouTube video that you included as well; that's a good idea to explore how to use these tools.
ReplyDeleteThanks I really thought the video helped as well.
DeleteI agree with you about not using this over other websites we have looked at. For me I like websites that are easy to figure out right away. I hate the frustration of not so easy ones! But I do love how you don't have to create an account to use it! I feel like this tool might be better in a work setting rather than school. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is true a work setting would be great for this.
DeleteIt sounds like Twiddla has a lot of options of things to do with your class! I also like your minilesson on Riverfront Park through Thinglink.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love Riverfront park so it as fun.
