an invitation and a warning:
This message is for students to show their parents before they start using Tokbox. It invites students to join, but only after they´ve been given permission to do so by their parents. It warns students at the same time that Tokbox contains a live video chat facility that can be accessed by anyone on the internet and therefore not to make friends with anyone they don´t know. media type="custom" key="5320863"

 * **"Who Am I?"** Marisa_C models an activity in which students guess the famous person. They can also guess the questions that were being answered.
 * **"Safe Videoconferencing"** as suggested by @rosaconsuelo: only teachers sign up and connect with other classes or send messages to be shown in class by other teachers.
