Threaded Discussion

My eyes hurt from discussing threaded discussions!!!! Yes, you read that correctly. We are discussing the articles we read. I really like the format and can think of a couple of applications for my ELL class:
1-post a question of the week/day
2-use a thread to discuss a short story
3-literature circles

I like the idea of having a discussion going that all grades (6-8) could participate in throughout the day or week. We could even open it up to kids at the high school or kids in other content classes at our school. There are free sites that will host our discussions!

More ideas to come!
