Here is what I presented: http://demo.sagenb.org/home/pub/53/
Unfortunately the network was slow when everyone was trying to use it at once. I was able to test it just before I had to present, and it all seemed fine, but once everyone was on, things just dragged ... nothing could happen. So I had to revert to my first plan. However, they all did create accounts, and they were eager to get back to it when they had a chance. The good news - they were pretty blown away by what they saw. The evaluations were very positive. The theme of the conference was 'equity in mathematics', and we were instructed to address the issues of 'access, achievement, identity, and power' in our sessions. OK, so I told them, all this stuff is free and cross-platform! That's access for you. Anyone with internet connection can get to it. Plus it's really powerful, and learning how to use it gives one a great sense of achievement. - Michel On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 7:55 AM, michel paul <mpaul...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well, documentation will be easy - I'm just creating a notebook file.
