Virtual identities...though not Second Life

Today I dared to teach my Adult Basic Ed students to use Elluminate at 8:30 a.m. Amazingly, for the first time since Day 1, the whole class showed up. The student most bored by everything seemed most lit up by Elluminate. :) People in the class were laughing, joking, asking questions, taking notes. In a word, I would say the feeling was...empowering, for all involved.
