Before we begin!Response System Set-up

Ideally this workshop would be largely hands-on but due to the logistics of the day, computers are not available for every staff member to use to participate.

So.....we will model a way to have you (your students) post your ideas/thoughts about our topics anonymously using the free web2 tool Corkboard.Me and your cell phone or laptop.
