	How does the use of Seesmic compare to our use of other tools? What have we observed about the use of all of these tools that can help other classes going forward, regardless of what tools they choose to use at that time?		How does the use of Seesmic compare to our use of other tools? What have we observed about the use of all of these tools that can help other classes going forward, regardless of what tools they choose to use at that time?

			This type of tool seemed to be espacially useful for:
			1. prompting students to think intelligently about the issues before class,
			2. starting the discussion of the isses early,
			3. allowing students to use some creativity in expressing their thought, and
			4. engaging in discussion with the outside world.

			We have a couple of suggestions when using tools like these:

			When using tools like these, make sure the prompt is as clear as possible. Because the question is not presented in real time, there seems to be a bigger barrier to getting clarification and confusing prompts can result in confused answers. Using a video to pose the question seemed more effective for communicating the answer as it seemed to allow for more clarification.

			Make sure to give plenty of notice to students. The more notice you give, hopefully the more thoughtful responses you will get from busy students.

	In an educational setting, some have proposed that Seesmic has some real advantages. Seesmic may be a useful tool when trying to learn a new language, which also includes nonverbal communication. In all contexts, video also allows for communication that is closer to an in-person experience than other formats.

	The last two groups to present have posted questions for the class and others to consider and reply to before class. One group posted their question in video format, the other in text. Class members and others responded with differently formatted video responses. Some responses consisted of the poster(s) appearing on camera and discussing the issue. Others involved slides, mash-ups of other videos, user created or modified images and others. Some videos were more serious while others included humor.

			== The Final Word ==
			We discussed briefly the use of Seemic during the optional class meeting on March 30 - but didn't get very far.

			We consider the way two groups chose to use the tool. For example, our Seesmic discussions have occurred before the related class discussion. Should we consider having Seesmic conversations after? One team posted the question in the form of a video and the other posted it in text. Was one format preferable to the other?
