Hi Rhonda, Our school has a school wide network which allows me to email messages to all of my students. Before the web chat I mail them the time and place of the webchat and the biography from the LFM website. I ask them to either attend the webchat or to email me their questions before the program. After the event I email each student the response that we receive to their question. If I have time in science class we look at some of the other questions which were sent by other students and talk about content, tone that was used and how well the question was answered. I have an LCD for my overhead projector so I can put my computer screen on the classroom screen or use a scanner to convert from my computer screen to the large classroom monitor. This allows everyone in class to see what is on my computer without having to huddle around the classroom computer.

I have been spreading the word about PTK in Georgia over the past few months and have had several questions about the web chats. Since I am not in the classroom this year --no kids )-: I have not participated. Would some of you who have participated please address this issue? Is it easy? Any problems? Helpful hints for managing this in the classroom? Thanks. I haven't noticed any postings from new PTK-ers in my service area, but hope you all will feel free to jump in with questions. There are lots of people on this list who are willing to help you. Jan, hope you are having a good year! We need to talk soon! And lastly I join Tim in congratulating PTK on another great broadcast. I was in my former classroom with my former students and we were all excited to have two questions answered live during the program. We are excited about the rainforest journey ahead! Rhonda Toon
