Description: Channel allows students to surf the web together, from different computers, seeing the same web pages at the same time, while commenting on the side. You can also add sticky notes to highlight important parts of the page. 

Applications for the Reading/Language Arts Classroom:

• Have students take notes on articles and entries for later use with reports.
  
• As the class reads an article together, students can interact with the text by asking questions and relating their own experiences.
• Use for discussion about videos and current events.
  

Notes and Caveats:

• Limit the number of common viewers to five or less.
  
• Clearly delineate the purpose of the assignment and the sites to which students are limited.
