What does Sharing Mean in Tango?
For a chat, sharing is clear -- one shares the text typed in by the different users.
Now start and share in the same way, one or more of the simple physics applets -- spring or cross-product.
The teacher (deemed the master if he or she started it) can move the Position of the spring and the Force and Energy change in response.
- All applets in the same session follow the behavior of the master
- Maybe your spring does not follow? Did you join this session or another one? Perhaps you started a new session by clicking on spring icon rather than by highlighting spring session and clicking on join!
- Note that “slaves” cannot move spring position -- they are meant to gaze in wonder and growing understanding as teacher moves spring and uses video conferencing to wax eloquent about the physical principles
In spring case, Tango shares state defining applet -- here the position of the Spring.
