What happens when three teachers gather? We talk about what tools we use to reach our students and then we surf the Internet. "Let me show you" sessions are effective for preserving the arc of a conversation.
This record took about an hour to reconstruct but it might be valuable for teachers (and others) to follow our discussion. The links might not be clear and only about half of the topics are mentioned below.This conversation is dedicated to Mario, Gus, Dennis, Omar, Claude, Twin, Leslie, Stephen Shasha and others who were momentarily forgotten but are now included in the conversation. This was a hastily organized gathering that maintained focus because there were only three viewers around a single strong portal to the Internet.
