How? 

The teacher instructs the students to log in at a certain Flinga-session and to send the main points of their discussion to that session. Students then link their comments to the central question or concept that the teacher has added beforehand to the Flinga-wall.

Pro Tip! 

It is wise to instruct students to participate with complete understandable sentences (not just random words). However, the sentences should be as brief as possible and include only a single thought.
