Starting off
Russell welcomed us with a big smile and he immediately made it clear that it was paramount to know each other. He set up a fun and interesting activity in which we had to draw (or write) 8 things we deemed relevant about our lives and then get our partners find out about us. It was truly interesting listening to my classmates talking about themselves. Following that, Russell set another activity - a web search followed by a short presentation - to get to know him.
Following that, he introduced a few technologies. The first one was Todaysmeet, a great free tool that allows people to create temporary, private chatrooms. If you wish to learn how to use it and see its features you can watch this tutorial video created by Russell himself:

For me, Todaysmeet has a great potential. It is great tool to collect information in real time and get instant feedback all in one place. I believe it can be extremely useful when the lesson aims at getting the students to brainstorm or scaffold.
