[kmason] doing a great job Jenn
[kent] My Twitter name is kentsheen
[leslie] http://twitter.com/LeslieJOholt
[amacleod] http://twitter.com/anniemacleod
[kent] The setting up of names has bogged things down a bit. Perhaps if people were led through the process a little more it would have helped.
[bmacdonald] The learning curve is a little steep but I think the students would have this mastered very quickly
[ajcampbell] we were introduced last week and really good to have hands on with it today
[leslie] Clear instruction, practice and application

Q & A
Q - Can Twitter be linked to email and facebook or others ? A - Yes, this can be set up and directed to these, users also can use RSS.

Q - When you are working at your computer in other programs, will you know if someone sends you a message? A - Yes, if you make use of RSS, you will be able to view it.
Q - How do you plan on using this in the class? A - Many ways, one is to access past program graduates and have them as mentors.

Q - Are you putting everyones info. out there? A - No
