- 8:32am
- Bugscope Team hi ms. kirby, welcome to bugscope!
- Bugscope Team good morning!
- Bugscope Team we are making presets right now, will be done in 5-10 minutes
- Teacher Hi, Scott and Alex, I just got here and am checking out our session. I am going to try to log on as a student on another computer - Janet. Mrs. Kirby will be here at 9.
- Bugscope Team hi Janet
- Bugscope Team okay, logging in as another student should work just fine, if you have any problems just chat us, or call us at 217-265-8164
- Teacher Hey, you guys - great presets!

- Bugscope Team thanks janet!
- 8:38am
- Teacher Mrs. Kirby actually has two classe coming: one from 9-9:45 and the next from 10-10:45. I think I asked you on Thurs, but can you go to 10:45?
- Bugscope Team yep, looks like going to 10:45AM will be fine

- Teacher thank you!


- Teacher Let me know when it is okay to try out the navigation tools.
- Bugscope Team go ahead and try driving around
- 8:44am
- Bugscope Team we are done with presets, you can drive around if you like to, just look out for trees and stuff

- 8:50am








- Bugscope Team this is a very large female mosquito
- Bugscope Team her mouthparts have separated, which is kind of cool -- it lets us get a good look at the tip of the stylet
- Teacher That is cool, They will be here in about 5min and I am going to leave this up with your comments; It is a good place to start. Do we still have the 3d gallery with the colorized stereo images?
- Bugscope Team somewhere...
- 8:55am
- Bugscope Team I didn't have much to do with that.
- Teacher I will look around, once they get started. We still have a bunch of glasses.
- Bugscope Team what age are the kids today?






- Student 8th grade


- Bugscope Team Cool! Thanks


- 9:00am










- Bugscope Team not for me
- Bugscope Team http://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/gallery.ppt
- 9:05am
- Bugscope Team Janet that will let you open the 3D image gallery. Cate put it online for us.
- Teacher thanks!
- Student ;
- Bugscope Team hi jiwon, welcome to bugscope!
- Bugscope Team hey all
- 9:10am
- Bugscope Team Good morning Jiwon!
- Bugscope Team Good morning Mallory and Savannah!
- Bugscope Team Abbie!
- Bugscope Team Davis!
- Bugscope Team Spencer!
- Student hola seniors and seniorita
- Student beans?
- Bugscope Team nice name jp
- Student hi jp
- Student yes go make me some
- Student yo
- Student :)
- Student thank you
- Student hey
- Student whats up
- Bugscope Team welcome to bugscope students, these are live images from an electron microscope. ms. kirby can control the scope now
- Bugscope Team close up
- Student hi colby
- Student hey chris, krys
- Bugscope Team you can see the compound eyes
- Student that was kourtni
- Student hello
- Student bo
- Student whats up
- Bugscope Team with all of the facets -- all of the ommatidia
- Bugscope Team check out the compound eyes, those are those bumpy things on either side of the head. compound eyes are made up of hundreds of facets (ommatidia), each of which have a lens in it


- Bugscope Team this is a woodland moth
- Bugscope Team cool, check out this skipper!
- Bugscope Team sorry Skipper not moth
- Bugscope Team it had antennae 'til this morning
- Bugscope Team you can see its mouthparts are coiled up


- 9:16am

- Bugscope Team now we are at the mosquito head again
- Bugscope Team its mouthparts separated

- Bugscope Team many moths, skippers, and butterflies have coiled tubes through which they feed

- Bugscope Team the compound eyes are pretty cool, each "bump" (ommatidia) has a lens in it. but the lens can't move like ours can, so instead the moth has hundreds of ommatidia, each one pointed in a different direction. that way the moth can see with wide angle



- Bugscope Team that feeding tube is called the proboscis
- Bugscope Team the largest proboscis in the world is the elephant proboscis

- Bugscope Team they are covered with tiny scales that are sort of like feathers
- Bugscope Team if they run into a spider web the scales will come off easily and sometimes they can escape just by shedding scales
- Bugscope Team ms. kirby, if you or your students have any questions, please feel free to ask
- Bugscope Team you all can talk if you want, ask us any questions you have
- Bugscope Team the scales are what make butterflies, skippers, and moths feel silky to us

- Bugscope Team this is the wing of the grasshopper
- Student we cant talk to you
- Bugscope Team sorry jp
- Bugscope Team if you take the mag up here you can see a scale right in the middle of the image
- 9:21am


- Bugscope Team the scale is from another insect
- Student what are the grasshopper wings amde of ?
Bugscope Team chitin, the same stuff as your fingernails
- Bugscope Team the little thing in the middle is a single scale.

- Bugscope Team they are made of chitin
- Bugscope Team also called cuticle

- Bugscope Team it's made of of fingernail like material
- Bugscope Team and it is similar to what, as Cate says, our fingernails are made of
- Bugscope Team like the shell of a shrimp
- Bugscope Team see the scale?
- Student yes
- Student what r butterfly wings made of, is it the same as the grasshopers
- Student ya
- Student are they as fragile as regular fingernails, or are they much thinner?
- Student yes
- Student yes
- Student yea
- Student *-*
- Bugscope Team if you can take the mag up a little you will be able to see its architecture


- Bugscope Team scales are the powdery stuff that comes off of butterfly or moth wings if you touch them

- Bugscope Team they are much thinner than fingernails. light and strong for their thinness.
- Bugscope Team now you can see that the scale has lines in it like a feather
- Student thx
- Student wow so the powder is acually c
- Bugscope Team if you go still closer you can see pigment granules
- Bugscope Team what feels like powder is actually these things, yeah Chanc
- Bugscope Team see the micron bar to the lower left?

- Bugscope Team this scope can magnify up to 800,000x, but for the sake of looking at bugs and stuff, 20,000-40,000x is usually the top magnification
- Bugscope Team 12 microns is the length of six rod-shaped bacteria end to end
- 9:26am
- Bugscope Team 12 um = 12 microns (one micron = one millionth of a meter)
- Bugscope Team you can go still higher but might have to focus a little bit
- Student does this belong to the grasshopper or the moth
- Bugscope Team a micron is a thousands of a millimeter
- Bugscope Team Krys you are right this does not really belong to the grasshopper but it was on it s wing

- Bugscope Team hard to tell, it could be a moth or a mosquito or even maybe a butterfly scale
- Bugscope Team now we could use a little brightness
- Bugscope Team this is a little hard to see now



- Bugscope Team now we see the antenna base



- Bugscope Team the dome to the NW is an ocellus

- Bugscope Team a simple eye

- Bugscope Team we are looking at the compound eye to the left

- Bugscope Team on a grasshopper it is actually hard to see because the eye is so smooth


- Bugscope Team similar to that of a cricket or praying mantis
- Bugscope Team it is hard to see the individual ommatidia
- Bugscope Team which is what the facets of the compound eye are called
- Student what part of the grasshopper is this

- Bugscope Team this is the head, and the base of the antenna
- 9:31am
- Bugscope Team you can see tiny hairs called 'setae'
- Bugscope Team the setae ('see-tee') are often mechanosensory -- the insect uses them to feel its environment
- Bugscope Team setae (sea-tea) are kinda like cat whiskers, they help insects to sense their environment. insects have lots of setae
- Bugscope Team insects have an exoskeleton made of chitin, like the wing

- Bugscope Team the setae stick through the exoskeleton, to nerves underneath
- Bugscope Team so it is like if you were wearing a coat of armor all of the time

- Bugscope Team you would not be able to feel what was touching the surface of your armor

- Bugscope Team this is one of the claws of the grasshopper


- Bugscope Team you can see the tip of the second claw below
- Student wat is the setea used for
Bugscope Team Since the insects have a hard exoskeleton (like us if we were wearing a suit of armor) they can't feel much with out the setae. But the setae are poking through their armor and are connected to nerves so they can sense what is around them
- Bugscope Team more setae that help the grasshopper feel what is in its grip
- Bugscope Team some setae are not just for sensing touch




- Bugscope Team all these images are black and white because the scope is an electron microscope. it uses electrons as a means to gather the image, NOT light, so there is no sensing of the frequency of light, thus no color
- 9:36am

- Student whats the palp
Bugscope Team the palp helps the insect manipulates its food and it also tastes or smells the food


- Bugscope Team the images can be colored after the fact, by using elemental analysis, and color according to that analysis

- Bugscope Team there are usually, in an insect, mandibular (the lower jaw) and maxillary (the upper jaw) palps
- Bugscope Team ms. k, you are doing a great job of driving!
- Bugscope Team when you see a grasshopper eating, everything seems to be moving at once
- Bugscope Team if at any time, you want one of your students to drive the scope, just let us know, we can give control to any student
- Bugscope Team you can see that there is some dirt on the head, above the mouthparts
- Student bye bye
- Bugscope Team be sure and look around -- check out the rest of the presets
- Student bye bye
- Student Good Bye!
- Student Thank you!!!!!!!
- Student good bye forever
- Student biibiizz
- Student goodbye and thanks for your help
- Student Bye Bye!
- Student thx so much
- Student bye, see ya, bon voyage!
- Bugscope Team you all rocked and or rolled

- Student -_-;;
- Student ill remember these molments
- Bugscope Team au revoir!
- Student goodbye:-) THANKS FOR YOUR HELP


- 9:42am
- Teacher This is Janet. They are switching classes. I am going to navigate for awhile to get them some good images.

- Bugscope Team Cool -- Thanks Janet.
- Bugscope Team ok janet, no problemo

- Bugscope Team the students are very well behaved. we can take lots more questions if you want

- Bugscope Team pretty sturdy mouths on these guys
- Bugscope Team sorry janet! i accidentally logged you off.
- Bugscope Team sorry for logging you out ms. k, my mistake, welcome back!
- Teacher it's okay, I just thought that my driving scared you.


- Bugscope Team no, you are doing great, and the students are well behaved. we can answer a lot more questions if you want. it's up to you though.



- 9:47am
- Teacher not sure what I did. Should I just wait?

- Bugscope Team are you able to control?

- Bugscope Team ms. k, is anything wrong?
- Bugscope Team if so, you can call us at 265-8164 anytime and talk to me live

- Bugscope Team 217-265-8164
- Teacher I just kept getting red flag warnings. I am going back to the preset

- Bugscope Team you mean the red bar across the screen?
- Bugscope Team there is prob'ly some latency in driving
- Bugscope Team from what you ask the 'scope to do and when it does it
- Bugscope Team me driving now


- Bugscope Team yeah working
- 9:53am











- 9:58am
- Student hi all
- Bugscope Team hello juan, welcome to bugscope!
- Bugscope Team hi tessa
- Student hi every1
- Student hi
- Student tim quiet
- Student im awesome

- Student a
- Bugscope Team no, this is bugscope, you are looking at live images from an electron microscope
- Student stop
- Student hey
- Student ok
- Student kk
- Student ( - _ - )
- Student hi
- Student -,,-
- Student lalalalalalala
- Student no swearing
- Student Hello
- Student o_o
- Student hola
- Student -_-;;;
- Bugscope Team Hi You All!
- Bugscope Team today your class will be running a scanning electron microscope from your school
- Bugscope Team this is a grasshopper mouth, a live image from our electron microscope

- Bugscope Team scott just adjusted the brightness a bit
- Bugscope Team one person at a time can control the microscope from your school
- Student heyo peepl
- Bugscope Team notice all the little hairs. bugs have tons of hairs. these are called setae (see-tee). they are kinda like cat whiskers, in that they help the bug sense its environment
- Bugscope Team presently it is Ms Kirby
- Teacher I am now Mrs. Kirby - Janet and Mrs. Kirby is Kirbs
- 10:03am
- Bugscope Team okie-dokie
- Bugscope Team Mrs Kirby!
- Bugscope Team let us know as you have questions -- we are ready
- Bugscope Team and try some of the presets



- Bugscope Team we have some mites for you to image, and a mosquito, a borer, a no see 'um,...

- Bugscope Team here you can see part of the jaws
- Student what is the horn thing
Bugscope Team the horn thing is part of the mouth-parts

- Bugscope Team there are two of those sharp things -- they are part of the jaws
- Bugscope Team what they bite with

- Student whats is thta
- Student whatis this??
Bugscope Team this is the palp of a grasshopper







- Student what is a palp


- Student whats a palp
Bugscope Team palps are appendage like things coming from the mouth area of some insects




- Student what's that thing that looks like a leg?
Bugscope Team i think that is the palp

- 10:08am

- Bugscope Team a palp is a mouthpart that is like a little arm that helps the insect eat
- Student what is the curled thing
- Bugscope Team the palp moves the food around, it can also taste or smell the food with the palp

- Bugscope Team ELAYN you mean on the left?

- Bugscope Team now we see one of the claws
- Student they have claws?
- Bugscope Team yes almost all insects have claws
- Student what is its purpose

- Bugscope Team this is a grasshopper claw, pretty gnarly huh?
- Student wassda bckround
Bugscope Team that is carbon tape, it helps ground the samples.
Bugscope Team good questions, there is sticky tape in the background, it helps to keep the bugs stable on the stub
- Bugscope Team they use it to grasp things, like you use your hands

- Teacher My image keeps flashing. Why?
Bugscope Team hmm, not sure, try hitting refresh (F5)
- Bugscope Team you can see that the claw has little setae on it that help the grasshopper feel when it grips something

- Bugscope Team try some of the other presets



- Bugscope Team this is kind of like a foot
- Bugscope Team you could see one portion of the claw, to the right, and below it was the other half
- 10:13am
- Bugscope Team this is where, in a fly, you would have a sticky pad called the pulvillus

- Bugscope Team grasshoppers cannot crawl on the ceiling like flies can
- Bugscope Team ah, this is the wing of a grasshopper





- Bugscope Team and right in the middle here we see a scale, from some other insect

- Bugscope Team from a moth or butterfly or skipper



- Student what are the little dots on it?
Bugscope Team those dots are holes, helps to keep the weight down
- Bugscope Team the scales are like tiny feathers, and they are what make moths, for example, feel silky when you touch them
- Bugscope Team the wing scale is built for strength and lightness - notice all the holes in it, that helps to keep it strong but lightweight
- Bugscope Team the tiny dots on the scale were pigment granules
- Bugscope Team the dots we see on the wings are microsetae
- Bugscope Team and as Alex said the holes in the scale looked like dots as well

- Bugscope Team this is the head of a mosquito
- Bugscope Team this is cool, check out the compound eyes on either side of the face

- Student what's that circle thing above its eyes?
- Bugscope Team mosquitoes also have scales, and you can see them now in the middle
- Bugscope Team its mouth parts are everywhere
- Bugscope Team the circle is part of the biting mouthparts




- Bugscope Team there is another preset that shows the stylet -- what the mosquito bites you with




- 10:18am

- Bugscope Team the curvy thing is part of the proboscis

- Bugscope Team see the tiny scales, as well

- Bugscope Team you can see that part of the curvy circular thing is hollow
- Student what is the feathery thing above the eye?
- Bugscope Team that is where the blood runs when you get bit
- Bugscope Team the feathery thing is one of the antennae





- Bugscope Team there now you can see the sharp part
- Bugscope Team cool, nice driving kirby
- Bugscope Team this is usually hard to see

- Bugscope Team this is usually inside a sheath


- Bugscope Team use click to center to bring the tip into view
- Bugscope Team if you would like
- Student where does the liquid that does not let you fell the bite come out?
- Student what is im the liquid that they put into you after they stick the pointy part into you?





- Bugscope Team it is saliva that has anticoagulants in it so the blood will not dry on the way in
- Bugscope Team so the blood will not clot
- Student why is it itchy?
- Bugscope Team this is sharp like a little tiny steak knife
- Bugscope Team some of us react to the saliva and it makes us itch
- Bugscope Team see how it is made to cut?
- Bugscope Team bee stingers are kind of like that as well


- 10:23am


- Bugscope Team this preset moved a little since this morning when we made it

- Bugscope Team this is the open portion of the antenna that had broken off
- Student What is the sponge-like stuff coming out of it?



- Bugscope Team Tessa we are not sure what we are seeing here





- Bugscope Team the inside of the antenna will have lots of nerves that lead to the brain



- Bugscope Team and there will be some muscle as Alex says



- Bugscope Team this is the head of a Japanese beetle, from the ventral side -- from underneath
- Bugscope Team this microscope is called an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). it can magnify up to 800,000x, but when looking at bugs 20,000x-40,000x is usually the max resolution


- Bugscope Team you can see that the antennae are folded up against the head, and they are lamellated
- Bugscope Team they are made to splay out like a fan

- Bugscope Team the eyes are visible as well


- Bugscope Team from here they look smooth

- Student whys its nec lined wit har
- 10:28am
- Bugscope Team the hair on the neck help it tell when its head is moving a particular direction





- Bugscope Team this is one of the arms]
- Bugscope Team the last few segments of an arm or leg are called the tarsi
- Bugscope Team singular tarsus
- Student good bye
- Student goodbye everyone!
- Student THX
- Student adios!
- Student byby
- Student bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
- Bugscope Team ohhhh

- Student thanks

- Student good bye
- Student ($.$)
- Student =)\
- Bugscope Team thank you all for your questions
- Student >.
- Student >.,
- Student See ya!
- Bugscope Team here is some tenent setaeon a fly
- Student >.
- Student ByByByByBy

- Student bye
- Student It was cool. Nice to really see what they look like
- Student =(
- Bugscope Team which let it walk on walls
- Student adios:)

- Bugscope Team go to the mites!


- Bugscope Team we were so excited about them

- Bugscope Team Yay!


- Bugscope Team here is a mite on a millipede which is always fun to see
- Bugscope Team this is so cool

- Bugscope Team it is so tiny
- Teacher cool
- 10:33am
- Teacher cool!


- Bugscope Team after you look at it using high mag you can drop the mag down and show viewers where it really is


- Bugscope Team these guys are blind -- they don't bother to have eyes

- Bugscope Team and they 'go down with the ship,' apparently, when the host dies

- Bugscope Team this guy had his nasty little biting mouth bent back
- Teacher Scott, the reporter would like to know how long bugscope has existed?
- Bugscope Team that is what hurts when they bite you
- Bugscope Team almost 10 years now
- Bugscope Team we started in March 1999
- Bugscope Team in that time we have done around 400 sessions
- Bugscope Team some schools have connected every year
- 10:39am
- Bugscope Team we have two unversities, presently, Marquette (this afternoon) and Washington State, that use bugscope as part of their training of preservice teachers
- Bugscope Team here is a map listing every Bugscope participant: http://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/members/all/
- Bugscope Team now we are going to start that same deal with Northeastern Illinois, with the guy who used to be the technology coordinator for the Park Ridge Illinois school district
- Bugscope Team we have connected with Ireland, Australia, Colombia, Honduras...
- Bugscope Team and we have had people log on from Turkey, Israel, Germany, among others
- Teacher I am passing this on, stay tuned for more questions
- Bugscope Team but most of our connections have been in the US
- Bugscope Team K through 12
- Bugscope Team it is always a little different
- Bugscope Team sometimes the kids talk a lot, and sometimes we can let them drive
- Bugscope Team sometimes there is, apparently, anarchy in the classroom, but there are always good kids
- Bugscope Team who are really interested
- 10:44am
- Bugscope Team this, here, is our first no-see-'um
- Bugscope Team Kendra, who schedules our sessions, got it from her husband, who pinched it out of his hair
- Bugscope Team very small and mean little dudes

- Bugscope Team you can see that his/her 'beak' is broken
- Teacher we can only see the preset
Bugscope Team try hitting F5 (refresh)
- Bugscope Team these are kind of like flying bedbugs
- Bugscope Team see the eyes?
- Teacher now we have it
- Bugscope Team in the middle, pointed toward us, is the proboscis
- Bugscope Team which is broken and bent
- Bugscope Team they are so small it would be hard to catch one whole
- Teacher is the probiscus broken in front
- Bugscope Team yes
- Bugscope Team I think it normally projects forward
- Bugscope Team like your cartoon version of a mosquito
- Teacher is that the part that "bites you
- Bugscope Team yes
- Bugscope Team it is a shame that this is the only one we have but we are happy to have one at all
- Bugscope Team they are said to be 0.25 inches long but this was smaller than that
- 10:49am
- Bugscope Team more like an eighth of an inch, little black flying bug
- Guest Has it specialized 'claws' for holding on to its prey?
- Teacher I should really catch more things for bugscope. Well, I have to sign off, the next class is in. I gave the reporter the bugscope website and e-mail and told her to e-mail any more questions she has or verify anything I was not sure of.
- Bugscope Team Vicente I am not sure. You can drive south to look.
- Bugscope Team ok thank you
- Bugscope Team You now have control if you would like to drive.

- Bugscope Team thanks kirby!



- Bugscope Team click to center is sometimes easier

- Bugscope Team but you are doing very well



- Bugscope Team this one got seriously smooshed



- Bugscope Team no that should be alright

- Bugscope Team bye bye kirby, thanks for a great session!
- Bugscope Team Thanks Janet/Mrs K
- Teacher thanks, you guys -- everyone loved it!
Bugscope Team you are very welcome, remember all the chat/images are saved at: http://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/members/2008-099

- Bugscope Team sullivan school, are you vicente as well?

- Bugscope Team you can see the claws you mentioned

- Bugscope Team knee

- Bugscope Team the claw is toward the middle of the body
- Bugscope Team NE
- 10:55am
- Bugscope Team nice driving for your first time!
- Guest No I just came in as a guest and believe you have a great educational tool here!
- Bugscope Team sullivan school, your compatibility tests never quite passed, but we are good to go anyway, the only bad symptom might be lag in the images. if you are seeing a lot of lag, try staying away from "click to drive" and "focus". instead use "click to center".

- Bugscope Team sullivan school, would you like to practice for your session tomorrow?
- Bugscope Team Vicente this is so much fun for us.

- Bugscope Team sullivan school, are you still there?




- Bugscope Team sullivan school just greyed out, they must have shut down the browser...

- Guest we can try a practice
Bugscope Team okay, i just gave you control, give it a try
- Bugscope Team yay!
- Bugscope Team you should see controls on your right, magnify, navigation, focus and adjust
- Guest Did yo get our insects?
Bugscope Team yes, we have your samples
- Guest Great site, will forward to others. Be well!
- Bugscope Team cate will be preping the samples today and tomorrow morning


- Bugscope Team sullivan school, at any time you can click on a preset, and it will move you to that location. presets are cool parts of different bugs. it's a quick way to move to something cool
- Guest wat kind of insect are we looking at
- Bugscope Team can you zoom out so i can see it better? i'm not sure now






- Bugscope Team ah, this is a no see um, also known as a punkie, or the scientific name is the Ceratopogonidae
- 11:00am



- Bugscope Team this is a no-see-'um

- Bugscope Team it is pretty beat up



- Bugscope Team it was not collected in the interests of science as much as Kendra's husband just wanted it out of his hair
- Bugscope Team on the left you see the proboscis, which is bent backwards
- Bugscope Team any questions about controlling the scope?
- Bugscope Team how far is it to Bucklin?
- Bugscope Team hey you can see the compound eye facets
- Bugscope Team to the right!
- Bugscope Team if you cannot see try F5
- 11:06am
- Guest Bucklin is about 90 miles away
- Bugscope Team That's where my mom was born
- Bugscope Team Cool.


- Guest My dad was born in Ashland, about 30 miles south of Bucklin
- Bugscope Team bucklin must be tiny, i don't see it on google maps


- Bugscope Team My grandmother was superintendent of schools for Ford County.
- Bugscope Team and she was Principal of Richland Valley.
- Bugscope Team if it is still there
- Guest we're switching classes right now, i've got a new group coming in
Bugscope Team oh, are we actually doing a session with students?
- Bugscope Team cool!

- Bugscope Team heh, there's a town called liberal just south of ulyssis. funny if a real big conservative lived in liberal. heh
- Bugscope Team try one of the mite presets if you would like
- Bugscope Team yeah Liberal is big
- Bugscope Team it's a real practice session
- Guest i'm just showing them what we're doing tomorrow
- Bugscope Team ah okay, no problemo
- Bugscope Team we have 'til 11:30 our time
- Bugscope Team we are happy to have you aboard
- Bugscope Team I am happy to have someone from W. Kansas
- Bugscope Team my grandmother lived in Dodge City the last 30 years or so before she died
- Bugscope Team if you have multiple computers, each student can login from a terminal (as a "student") and then we can pass control of the scope to anyone logged in, and they can ask their own questions so you don't have to type so much
- 11:12am
- Bugscope Team this is the eye of the no-see-'um
- Bugscope Team beastly little flying bedbugs
- Bugscope Team how is the lag shelley? is it bad? or okay? or just fine?
- Guest It's not bad
- Bugscope Team be sure and cruise around if you would like
- Guest We'll have about thirty computers tomorrow
- Bugscope Team wow
- Bugscope Team you worked with us last year didn't you?
- Bugscope Team hmm, with 30 kids logged on the lag might get worse. if you have problems you could try doubling up students on a computer, or even triple team.
- Guest yes, we were here last year.
- Bugscope Team if you have any problem, you can also call us in the ESEM room: 217-265-8164
- Guest you had a session with our school board
- Guest Thanks for the practice
- Bugscope Team or we can call you if it's cheaper that way
- Guest see you tomorrow!
- Bugscope Team you are welcome!
- Bugscope Team see you then!
- Bugscope Team Great! Thanks!
- 11:17am
- Bugscope Team over and out ....
- Bugscope Team okay, nice session(s) everyone, i'll close it up
- Bugscope Team chowzers!
