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.
Mike

Hi all. 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
