Lucian Cornel Duma , Romania: I used Flashmeeting in the projects Maureen: @mrsdurff- I set up a blog, but debating whether to have all kids with own blogs- too much to moderate... or just give them permissions. Did intial videos last week, but still trying to work out direct connections mrsdurff: @monika - you can request they remove ads if used with K12 students sudhanshi.ci: @jay-tru clinds: @Daniel - Are you using the free Elluminate opportunity through Learn Central Brian NYC: yes I have a Learn central account Daniel: just Three for Free clinds: @jgates513- I'm in MA.
