Great demonstration! Thank you for putting that together. I plan to start using this next week. We're in a hybrid model that still relies heavily on Zoom breakout rooms. I was wondering if there might be an easy way to gamify this somewhat by creating "debate teams" of 3-4 students (within a given class). This way, teams could meet, discuss, and come up with their points/counterpoints in breakout rooms. I was thinking maybe 3-4 teams for each side of the argument, and at the end, the team with the highest number of points (as per the votes cast) wins. However, I didn't see an easy way to sort vote counts on a per-team basis, so it might end up being too much overhead. Even if that doesn't work, I'm very excited to use this tool.
Hello Mr.Sam, very informative video, as usual.. I have a query. Are the students able to join the debate from their smartphone? Or do they need a computer?
Hello, one question. Kialo just works with pros and cons comments debates?? For example if I ask who is the best football player, they will create their own commentary, and then their classmates will respond to the first commentary of the first student, and so on. Is it possible that way, to have open questions and then they can answer with commentaries to my questions and create debates answering to other students commentaries. Just that thanks.
Great video. I teach at a university and will be using this in place of the dreaded discussion boards. Is there a way to connect this to my Learning Management system? We use Canvas. Thanks, Dr. Dee
Thank you for this great video! If we want that our students take part to a broad discussion as "Which kind of fieldtrip do we want to organize?", where many propositions can be made, can we avoid the pros and cons options? Also, which tool did you use to make this clear video? Many thanks again!
Wow! Very impressive....this could be a game changer for my students and myself for that matter. Very clear and organized presentation; you have convinced me to give this a test run...thank you!
Thanks, very interesting, I have to do some mini tutorials in Italian for the students.Thank you for what you do. "Classkick" is also interesting (I saw your video). Greetings Nic
If I share a cloned discussion with a "Team" of students via the public account and make it private, will it still work the same as if I shared one I made in my edu Kialo? I am wanting to take cloned discussions from the public version and share in privately via the edu version... Thoughts? As of right now, I am thinking I will have to set up my "teams" of students in both the public and private or only utilize link sharing if the discussion originates from the public version... Hope this question makes sense. Let me know what you think is most efficient.
Like the demo very much, detailed and clear. I would like to introduce Kialo to my students as a tool to develop critical thinking for EFL learners. One question, do students need to add a pro and a con as a pair or they can add pros or cons as they wish?
This user interface assumes an argument can be represented by a hierarchical data model. But it might be possible for a given argument point to be appropriate for more than one branch in the hierarchy.
Thank you Sam, will give this a try in my ethics class. I saw the feedback you gave a student in one of the arguments, is that private or can all students read it? Is it possible to divide my class into two groups, one arguing for and the other one against the question?
Awesome! There's also a teacher feedback function that I didn't show in this video that you can use to give personal feedback instead of public commenting. Probably the easiest way to divide the class if you still want them all in the larger debate would be to assign them the pro or con side. You can also clone the debate if you wanted to break up your class into smaller groups and assign it that way.
