Go Play in the Rain

Bentley was closed today due to Hurricane Sandy, but with a few web-based collaboration tools, my classes went on. Probably not the best way to do this, but join.me shared my screen and provided a chat window; sync.in provided a quick way for students to share notes, and ustream let me broadcast audio and video to the class. I had read about Ustream Producer which lets you broadcast the screen, but didn’t have a chance to install it before class started. I will make sure I look at it before the next hurricane (or snow storm… the hurricane season may be over soon, but winter is on its way!)
