- Title
TodaysMeet and Literary Analysis: Navigating Human Connections in Digital Spaces.

- Abstract
This study examines the intersections of technology and literary analysis for senior students at a Western United States high school. During the 2016-2017 school year, I integrated the web application TodaysMeet into a British literature course during Socratic seminars as part of a study of Hamlet. TodaysMeet served students as their main platform for communication and collaboration during the sessions which were inspired by the Youth Lens framework for young adult literature study. Using qualitative research tools, I analyzed data in the forms of observations, interviews, and student-created artifacts to understand how TodaysMeet could facilitate a particular form of literary analysis at the secondary level. Results of the study find TodaysMeet to be an interactive medium for literacy education as well as an effective tool to leverage students' new literacies toward academic achievement.
