Practice Run Breeze Session

We will have a practice run Breeze session on Tuesday afternoon around 3 pm. I'll be in my office and you can click on this link to access Breeze. When the page loads, select "login as a guest". At this point you will then enter the meeting room. This will give those of you who have questions to come and ask them. If you have a mic, you may use it, but you must have ear buds on to do this so that the background delay is not confusing.
When you get a chance, check out Brannon Carter's site at Bryson Middle School. What a fantastic job he has done in designing his site and providing some very interesting tools for web visitors. Brannon definitely has some advanced techniques going on. Way to go, Brannon.
The session on Wednesday will be informal. I plan to introduce myself to those of you I haven't yet met. Then I'll go over some hot topics in the district (Teacher Websites, Net Trekker, etc). Then I'll briefly mention some important "best practices" to keep in mind. At this point I'll open it up for questions. The session will be recorded for those who cannot come. I plan to use Breeze from time to time to meet you individually in this virtual environment. Some of you have pressing issues and we may resort to Breeze to try to resolve them.
Onscreen tutorial are still in the works.
