CoverItLive

What is CoverItLive? Simply stated, it is a live blog. It is popular among the media to provide live commentary on current events as they happen. It is a very foreign concept to me, and I need much more practice before I feel comfortable using this tool.

What are some of the ammenities that make this CIL so popular? Users can post content, insert images and video, create polls, and manage question and answers sessions. It was very easy to save material in the media library to use during a live blog. It also includes an instant replay feature so the blog can be replayed when the live activity has ended.

What are the education implication of CIL? I believe that this resource will be a valuable tool for teachers who hold discussions and debates. With this tool, they can be done in real time. Students in one location or various remote locations could be participating simultaneously.

I have having trouble with the code for my CoverItLive link. It keeps giving me errors. I will keep trying.
