[nabs-l] giving a presentation

[Ashley Bramlett]

I agree with you Kirt; you need to do it efficiently; with kids, I'd likely 
use an assistant otherwise they will shout out all at once and it could get 
unorderly.

Sophie,
I would say do whatever is most efficient. If it's practical, just have 
people in the room call out their names if they have a question, like has 
already been suggested. Otherwise, if there are so many people in the room 
to make that approach inefficient, I would suggest just asking someone to 
help you call on people. No need to be rebellious Lee independent. :-)
