Session+2

Remember last time we had a "getting to know you" session where you each introduced yourselves and talked about ways you use technology in your personal and academic lives. Did you do your "homework"? If not, do so soon. Did you take the survey? You can get other kids to take the survey too. Here is the chat transcript for that meeting Here is the recorded Elluminate session if you would like to go back and review what we discussed.
