Today was great. I would love to have room videoconferencing but I will just have to settle for the webcam. I definintely think that access NJ will be a tremendous tool for all the teachers in my school. I still am not sure how to get it all started. Hopefully tomorrow will help.

Wow!
I feel like my brain has expanded. There is so much out their in terms of videoconferencing. Each program/vendor has so much to offer. I am not sure which site will best meet the needs of the students or my confort level yet. It seems like I will need more time to practice and become confortable with the different resources.
The reference to starting a new book definately applies. We have been introduced to different charactors but are not quite sure if we like the entire book or which charactor we like best. But I will keep reading.
