[Nfb-krafters-korner] An idea for classes online...

Wed Jan 12 22:19:00 UTC 2011

that would be entirely up to the teacher to design the class any way they 
would like. I am just putting out some possibilities that some teachers may 
like to grab onto to create something that would give additional ways to 
conduct a class.  I think the website, FAce Book, You Tube, and conferece 
calls all could be used in creative ways for any teacher who wants to 
explore them. Lynda
