HUBBING THE INTERNET IN CLASS! 
TODAY IS A DAY TO SHARE IN WEB ACTION 


As you come in today make sure folks with laptops sit in places (not the very back) where other students can gather around you to share the results on your screen as easily as possible. So everyone disperse yourselves to make this sharing as effective and simple as possible.


We will be doing Web Action exercises together today, and we will use this as an opportunity to collaborate, create coalitions, organize, and otherwise put a consideration of process and possibility into play!
