I had a little trouble imagining ways to use these tools in a kindergarten classroom. However, I do like the idea of Todays Meet. I think students that might not feel comfortable responding in class, could respond via this tool. I think advanced kinder students could "chat" with each other on a specific topic using this, as well. It would take a lot of teacher direction but it could be done.
Probably the tool I could imagine us using the most is Skype. I think the experts we could connect with are endless....whether we are studying insects, plants, workers in our community, etc. there are many people that could give my students knowledge. It would show my students the world beyond our classroom.
Listen.
What do you think will happen to Jack and Annie as they search for the treasure?

Think of today's meet as a way to carry on a "meeting" with your team...but not actually meet. Also, you could do a today's meet after a gathering of your parents to follow up on their questions that arise after the meeting..it can be up for a week or month...think of doing one during parent curriculum night...and letting the questions run for a week....especially if you do it for all of K....just a thought
