Segment 2. Special Holiday Topic: Video conferencing with family and friends.

Teach with Tech in Smaller Chunks?

It has been suggested that the episodes would be easier to digest (urp!) if they were available in fifteen-minute sections. So I'm thinking about chopping Episode 5, our longest at 40 mins, into 2 or 3 sections. What do you think?
