sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: Sounds safer
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk: which lands them in the ONLY room created by the teacher
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: http://techchicktips.net
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk: it is great for typing skill improvement
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk: you can have more than class meet in the same room
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk: from ANYWHERE
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk: and students can't go outside the room
lnitsche -> EdTechTalk: I like that I receive a record of everything that happens in the room, every conversation, every login, etc.
