Questions+and+Discussion

toc =__Questions for Videoconference__=

Prior to the videoconference each participating class should post questions related to the demonstration and/or career for that site. On the day of the videoconference event we will post a live blog in CoverItLive so that additional questions can be submitted. The facilitator at each site will be responsible for monitoring the chat and asking questions of the presenter from other sites during their portion of the event. We will answer at least one question from each site.
