The Technology Clipboard: Part 2

The Digital Family - Five videos chats with phone conferencing.  This last month my family was able to reconnect from five different locations at the same time.  With five video chats and a telephone conferencing service we were able to connect from Utah to Texas to Indiana and on.  It was good to be able to see my little nieces and nephews, but it still wasn't anything like when we were all physically together a few months prior.

    They can either sit on my clipboard on my laptop unfinished, like they have been for the last few weeks. Or they can be posted unrefined like they are here like you have asked us in class this last week.

    Too many ideas build up and only the best of them merit the time and energy to be developed out into fully presentable pieces.
