Tablet Sharing Session (online)
This tablet sharing session introduces a new web
conferencing tool for the Academy. We will be trying Elluminate.
This tool is similar to GoToMeeting (which we used last year); but,
Elluminate was written with educators and students in mind. Part
of the session will involve us exploring this new tool and seeing if it
supports Tablet PCs better than GoToMeeting. You can have your own
Elluminate account for up to three people. (Please use a mic and
headset for the webinar.)
