Teacher comments: I was reminded of the joy of sharing science with
like-minded people, and the excitement of learning in a supportive environment.
As a first time user, the technology was particularly interesting. I enjoyed the chance of posting feedback and asking questions. Made it much more interesting than just sitting back and listening to a PowerPoint presentation.
