Chat with students Ying Lan from Taiwan, Moral and MaggiE from China, and teachers Maggi, Michael, and Vance, and Dave Kees |
April 30, 2000
This chat ranged through several chat areas: The Palace and voice chats were particularly active, Vance was monitoring Homestead, and Michael and Vance even ventured into Active Worlds, where we retired to a place where we could stand together and converse through the voice chat. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, though Vance was admonished for not paying attention in all the chat areas.
This chat has two parts: The Palace part and the Voice Chat part
