I've never used one before. I'm sure she could pick a random number as I like to do games and things to pick a team to answer. #isedchat

In reply to @gephillip

gephillip Aug 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT

I wonder if it works like Siri when you ask it questions. I always liked showing flights overhead. Great geometry lesson. #isedchat

In reply to @ckoos1

gephillip Aug 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT

How would you answer this question? What are some of your personal/professional goals for this school year? #isedchat

In reply to @JeremyDBond

gephillip Aug 3 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Defining roles is always hard. I am a hybrid too. Dir and T. #isedchat Reflection with Ts is the best way.
