Applications for Educators
Pownce is a great utility for starting conversations about events in the news. Post a link to a news story and have students reply, the formatting of Pownce allows users to reply to replies or to the original post. Pownce is a useful application for continuing conversation after class has ended. In their replies students can add related videos, web links, and images.
Pownce could be used as a tool in a creative writing class. Post an image and let the collaborative story build through a series of replies.
