I found the hashtag to be good at ETC09, but not sufficient enough for an in-depth discussion. It sounds fairly forward-thinking of ulearn08 to set up a backchannel. I'd like to see more conferences investigate these possibilities. I haven't tried etherpad yet, but I'd be keen to give it a go. The number of participants could influence the chat's effectiveness, but I found the numbers we had (probably 5-10) worked pretty well. I agree, it's definitely better than traditional note-taking! Hey @teachernz

Thanks for the comment. I found the hashtag to be good at ETC09, but not sufficient enough for an in-depth discussion. It sounds fairly forward-thinking of ulearn08 to set up a backchannel. I’d like to see more conferences investigate these possibilities.

I agree, it’s definitely better than traditional note-taking!

The conference organisers had set up another backchannel, but hardly anyone was using it. I also know of a group of teachers who used etherpad to collaboratively "live blog" a keynote. My trouble is I can't type fast enough, but when its a large group participating it doesn't matter. Much better than taking notes the traditional way.
