Scott Lewisberry, a high school teacher in Pennsylvania, used technology in an innovative way to foster the feeling of affiliation in his English classroom. Instead of having students passively watch a video related the their reading of The Crucible, Scott had his students participate in a moderated chat room while watching. He used CoverItLive, a free text chat that teachers can easily set up and embed on their own website as a widget. Scott writes in his blog, "What was cool was the kids could pose questions they had about what they were watching, and they could answer each other's questions as well. We had quite a discussion in the room." CoverItLive has additional features like file uploads and polling options.
