Your comment was considered spam – forgive the posting delay. I think that perhaps the fast pace is one of the unfortunate consequences. While I don’t know how to slow that down during the event – you can certainly review at a slower pace after the fact. Say more – how are you live blogging with your students?

What a great question. I’ve got a longer post that I’d like to write about how we might start thinking about student citizen journalism, but I think it makes almost immediate sense to descend upon a city or school district meeting with a few computers. The teacher can moderate and students can post about the meeting taking place. Later on, the video of the meeting can be combined with the transcript to make for an excellent reflective opportunity.

I think tools like these are perfect for citizen journalists – students or otherwise.
