FrankBl says, "I posted something but I am going to change a lot of it"
WendyFr says, "mine is not posted. I had some trouble"

WendyFr says, "reading other people's helps alot"
ScottFr say, "did anybody in this group turn their's in?"
Mr.Cole has arrived.
ScottFr say, "aye if ya did"
WendyFr says, "I couldn't"
Mr.Cole says, "Hi guys, how's it going."
FrankBl says, "mine is posted on the web board"
WendyFr says, "OK"
ShannonMc says, "I redirected my audience to to school officials stating why technology in schools is beneficial"
FrankBl says, "mine is still the students"
WendyFr says, "MR.C, I had some problems posting my paper"
ScottFr say, "Mr. Cole can my audience be Luddites?"
Mr.Cole says, "Yes, I just saw. One way around that can be to save in text-only (ASCII) format. Just about every computer has SOME kind of wordprocessor, which should always be able to open text documents."
Mr.Cole says, "Sure, Scott. What do you want to say to Luddites?"
WendyFr says, "save it where?"
ScottFr say, "you'll see"
FrankBl says, "i do not understand what we are supposed to be doing"
ScottFr say, "alot, is it ok if mine is about 1500 words"
Mr.Cole says, "To a floppy disk, if you need to transport it."
ScottFr say, "or should I try and trim it down"
WendyFr says, "I did but I cannot find anywhere to transport it"
Mr.Cole says, "Any of the labs on campus should work. "
WendyFr says, "I tried but my disk would not work, I don't know why"
WendyFr says, "It works on other computers"
ShannonMc says, "ok???"
WendyFr says, "My computer has MS WORKS but it won't read from MS WORD"
Mr.Cole says, "Hmm. Let's try to figure this out after class, Wendy. In the meantime, both Frank and shannon have papers we could critique."
WendyFr says, "good deal"
ShannonMc says, "Frank, do you want to be guinea pig?"
ScottFr say, "what about my length? "
ShannonMc says, "I was for the last paper."
FrankBl says, "I will"
Mr.Cole says, "Longer than the minimum is fine, Scott. "
ShannonMc says, "Frank, it's almost time"
ScottFr say, "cool-daddu"
ScottFr say, "daddy"
ScottFr say, "sorry"
FrankBl says, "if ya'll want ot use mine"
ScottFr say, "lets nail Frank"
Mr.Cole says, "Why don't y'all take a few minutes to look at Frank's paper, if you can."

ScottFr say, "don'"
ScottFr say, "whoops"
ScottFr say, "don't you need an arguement of some kind"
ShannonMc says, "who?"
Mr.Cole says, "Let me try something."
Mr.Cole says, "1) Technology is advancing very fast in today's world and seems to affect everybody. Many different"
Mr.Cole says, "2) As a student goes through school, he or she is taught through classes and interaction in class about the"
Mr.Cole says, "3) While computers are taught about in school, computers have an enormous effect on what they can do for"
Mr.Cole says, "4) Computers seem to be such a great help in education, but they still cause a lot of controversy. Sven"
ScottFr say, "or are you saying computers need to stay in school and expand ot stop"
ScottFr say, "not stop"
Mr.Cole says, "Uggh. That didn't work. Never mind."
FrankBl says, "I am changing my topic to how computers are helpful"
FrankBl says, "what are you tryin to do Mr. Cole"
ScottFr say, "put your paper on here"
Mr.Cole says, "I was trying to paste the paper into the MOO, but it didn't work."
FrankBl says, "1) Technology is advancing very fast in today's world and seems to affect everybody. Many different advancements of technology tend to affect different groups of people. Even in the field of education, there are unlimited amoun
ts of technology that play a large part in the student's life. Computers, since they have been introduced to the education field, have seemed to have the most impact. The whole schooling system has interaction with the computer on a daily routine. Whil
e the computers play such a huge role in education, education plays just as big a role in teaching the students about the computer. With all of this interaction, the computer has had a great deal of judgement cast up on it. Computers, although causing a
lot of controversy, play an enormous role in society, but especially in the schooling system."
