Some teachers prefer to do the sending and receiving themselves.
They read messages in the conference online and make their own decisions about which messages to share with the whole class, to give to a group of students, or to download for students to read on their own time. They also decide which messages to store and how to file them in folders or on disks. They have the task of deciding when to summarize and when to read the complete text of a message. They often store a print copy of all messages in chronological order in a notebook. This notebook is open to anyone who wants to keep track of all Circle messages.
