Mr. Hall's Presentation

Today Grade Three were very lucky to engage in a presentation from professional musician and performer Mr. Hall. He is the 3rd guest speaker for this unit and came to present about his form of art. Some of the children were taking photo's and others were filming. Three of the students were using itouches and the wireless internet connection to engage in a conversation using the website http://www.todaysmeet.com/. They had to multitask in order to listen, repsond and asking questions while actively engaging in responses and conversation with each other during Mr. Hall's presentation. This is how the conversation went (the bottom is the beginning):
