This isn't quite perfect. We aren't sure if we can stream the video to the inworld locations, and the web chatroom associated with the livestream may not be able to be captured. It does not connect to the inworld chatbridge connecting all six locations. People may need to watch on their web browser and join the discussion inworld. If someone does watch on the web and is successful in capturing the chat from that, please share it with me so we can include it in the report to the NETP committee.
Please feel free to prepare your thoughts on the future of edtech in the US as either a notecard (mailboxes are available at the ISTE venue entrances) or on the website:

Many thanks, and I look forward to tonight's amazing discussion!Read More
