Today's Meet Social Media Discussion

Unfortunately, my 'TodaysMeet' has expired and so the embedded link ceases to work.

Review:
I think this is an incredibly handy tool. It allows the creator to post a question and members of the group can reply and view each others responses also.

I can see this being very beneficial in lecture environments - i.e. where the lecturer wishes to ask a question to a large group of students, but anticipates that with such a large group size he/she will be unable to facilitate any sort of organised discussion (and possibly where everyone is too afraid to speak and answer for fear of embarrassment of getting the answer wrong). So the lecturer could instruct everyone to the TodaysMeet page, post a question and watch all the responses feed through.

Benefits:
No one can get in the group unless they are given the link - security is essential for students safety
The group has an expiry - so it cannot be left to be view and added to, once it has served its purpose it can be closed
Nearly everybody has a smart phone, or access to technology that would allow access to this type of app - so it is just a method to utilise the technology students are already carrying around in their pockets.

Limits:
This would be difficult to implement in a small class setting - as many students may ask the teacher 'why don't you just ask us directly? Why do we have to answer online?' Therefore, it may be suitable to implement as an outside the classroom activity - the issue is then student participation (or lack thereof!)
