Sunday Sit, Sip, and “Sync” ~ 4-29-2012
Whenever I think of “sharing” anything,
for a “nano-second” the phrase “chair-sharing” pops into my head.
It’s a connection that I can’t “shake”,
and is so old that my students cannot even relate to it.
Years ago,
when my children were young,
and Sesame Street was just as young,
the “Golden Hour” was when they sat transfixed watching our local PBS channel and their favorite show.
I seldom watched the skits,
(I knew my alphabet, how to read, and my numbers),
but I listened while I used my “Golden Hour” to clean, pick up, and do the dishes.
Over and over again, I heard Bert and Ernie as they solved life’s little problems,
and reinforced the lessons I tried to teach my children.
With a house filled with children,
“sharing” was an absolute.
So, today, on this rainy Sunday,
I would like to teach you something about “sharing”.
It’s free,
instant,
with nothing to download,
nor to join,
web-based,
and easy.
You can share your screen, or part of your screen with another computer, a tablet, or a smartphone.
With an email, that contains a link or a code,
all that is needed is a quick “run” of a java app,
and your screen is instantly and clearly shared with anyone else.
You also have the option of texting the code and link to a smartphone.
Once the “share” has started, you can pause the share, and resume it.
What a quick alternative to creating “screen-shots” when all you want to do is “share”.
Check it out.
Sharing is a good thing.
