Hi, Marjorie. First let me apologize for being so long to get back to you. I had hoped by the time I responded I'd have my polls going, but I'm having a heck of a time finding a poll (there are many out there I try to embed, but so far, each one I've tried either doesn't work, won't embed as promised, has ads, has a limit - a myriad of nitpicky things. I know they're there because I see them. Anyway, I'm still wanting very much to be involved in something with you - we could do something presidential, and I very much would still like to have a daily poll or weekly poll on each of our ends that our respective tudents would respond to so that we'd have a "sample" from each part of the country. So, I guess, I'm doing two things: asking you "Do YOU know an online poll I cam easily embed in our class page (password protected so results are clean??) and "Would you be interested?" I'm also open to suggestons on ways we can collaborate re: the election. By the way, t here's a great Teacher Tube video I just found: Electing a President in Plain English.
It's on my site below or at Teacher Tube directly. Hope we can get something going together soon! Looks my Cubs will be playing your Phillies soon...or are you a Pirates fan?

Hi Karen,

With your interest in Technology Integratio for West Shore, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.
