I've used CoverItLive with my 5th grade reading students this year (we have 10 computers in my room, so they are in partners) and the students are way more involved with discussing the book this way than they are when discussing out loud. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because nobody has to wait their turn. If you have a thought, spit it out and you're still not interrupting anyone. I love this idea.

I'd really love to try this at an inservice or get a teacher who's willing to take a chance and try it in the classroom soon. When I get that set up, I'll let you know how it goes. Let me know if you do the same. Thanks, Scott. I’d really love to try this at an inservice or get a teacher who’s willing to take a chance and try it in the classroom soon.

It would be nice to see some examples of how people are using them in their classrooms with evidence of assessment, etc. Great stuff Ben!
