What a great session! As usual, Bee had a very nice and informative presentation, pleasantly complemented by her clear comments.

Though there were technical glitches on her side, with a couple of unavoidable log offs, the session went through as planned. As I commented during the presentation, these glitches show us a reality of the online world where everything isn't always "a sea of roses". They help us see the relevance of feeling comfortable with the tools before using them with students (although there will always be someone among them who is more than willing to lend a hand, and we should accept it in a natural way!). And they show us how important it is to stay calm and think rationally about what to do to try and solve the situation. Of course, if there is an Andy Pincon around with his fabulous technical expertise, then it's a godsend!

Thank you, Bee, for sharing your know-how and professional experience with us. A very inspiring session, indeed! Thank you also, Andy and Debby from Alado, for being there from the very first minute to guide and help our participants, and for the immediate link of the recording of the session, which allows those not able to be present to share this synchronous event. And thanks to all of you who took part in our second live voice event direct from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to the rest of the world!!!

A curiosity: There were participants from all the 5 continents!
