[Nfb-krafters-korner] A Whole New Concept!

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Pam,
 
We have that ability now to meet in a conference room for exactly what you  
are saying.  On the website: _www.KraftersKorner.org_ 
(http://www.KraftersKorner.org)  our Monday night  conference room can be accessed at any time.  
So teachers and students can  use that.  We have a Monday Night Chat usually 
between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.  where we encourage folks to meet.  Occasionally 
we have a knit together  where we have someone read a dish cloth pattern 
line by line and we work on that  and chat or we occasionally have a topic of 
discussion.  
 
Once in a while we have a class going on in that room, but that is in the  
evening and we use it only when we have a lot of classes going on.
 
So teacher and student or students that can be helpful to each other can  
use that room.

Indeed I  think this would be an excellent addition to the 
website.  There also  might be links to audio rooms where members 
could discuss and work on  projects and get help outside class 
time.  If I knew more about web  design I could help but unfortunately 
that's one of the many techy things  I haven't done yet.  <smile>  I 
need to add that people  with dialup connections might have trouble 
accessing such chat rooms due  to Internet connection speed.

All just more thoughts from a new list  member considering becoming a 
formal group  member.

Pam
