> Hi All,
Long ago (maybe five years?), Peter, Mike, and I experimented with
real-time
LM_NET conferencing--LM_NET Live!  We had a great time and interesting
guest
speakers, despite a few technical glitches.  We began our hour-long chats
at
9 PM eastern.  Moderating was a challenge, but folks were generally
patient.
  I'd be happy to share some of the issues and strategies should this
thing
take off!

TappedIn is a great solution. I've moderated and attended conferences
there
and I understand that the newly released interface in going to be easier
to
use.

Hello everyone!

As a member of the TappedIn community, I fully support Joyce's suggestion to use 
TappedIn.  It is a wonderful professional development community for k-12 educators. 
 The new version is easier to use and membership is FREE!!!!

The After School Online has sessions in almost every subject you can imagine.  
Webtools, conducted by Pam Berger, and Targeting Librarians, conducted by Lesley 
Farmer are just two monthly sessions for and about librarians and resources.  You 
should really "attend" these sessions.  It will be worth your one hour online.

Help is available to help you login and if you are new to a session, the other 
participants will help you navigate.  The discussions are very professional, yet 
informal.  It is not a chat line in which anyone can just come in and say anything. 
 It is really a wonderful resource to consider for our group.
