DafneG: and now I can compare the recordings

 

MoiraH: I have it on my moodle and wikispaces

 

MoiraH: so you can have it on your blog Hala

 

DafneG: I have it in pbwiki

TeresaD: what timing for my connection to be playing tricks!!!

 

DafneG: but Chingo is different. It is a voice board, podomatic and

AnitaHM: Always happens that wy!

 

HalaH: it is different,I think

 

DafneG: don´t worry enjoy while you can ;-)

 

TeresaD: ok :-)

 

GwenGst2: voice board?

 

MoiraH: I wanted to do some conversation recordings with skype the

other day and of course, my skype went haywire

 

DafneG: yes, people send you a recording, and then you have a board

where all messages are kept

 

DafneG: you can try it out in our wiki

 

GwenGst2: I definately will

 

DafneG: look for it in the home page

 

AnitaHM: it's like voicemail on a board?

 

DafneG: right, Anita

 

DafneG: and you can make messages private or public

 

AnitaHM: interesting

 

DafneG: delete them, and download them

 

HalaH: Moira,I like what you do with your mobile

 

DafneG: they are recorded as MP3

 

MoiraH: I'm a baby with my mobile Hala

 

HalaH: Maybe you can read about M-Learning and proceed also from here!!

 

MoiraH: That's where I started

 

DafneG: the cell phone service is too expensive around here

 

HalaH: Completley new field

 

MoiraH: Not new for many people who have been exploring this for a

while.

 

AnitaHM: no choice in cell phone plans?

 

MoiraH: But certainly new for the majority of us

 

DafneG: they are all more or less the same, Anita :-(

 

HalaH: I mean M-learning and ELT

 

DafneG: Who is here for the first time?

 

GwenGst2: You can uses voipbuster and skype to call cell phones. voip

is free to US cell phones and soem other places

 

MoiraH: yes Hala, m-learning and ELT

university for ladies with pdas.

 

DafneG: my internet provider will change to voip in December I am

looking forward to it

 

DafneG: Anita, you can get bigger fonts if you want....

 

AnitaHM: If I do anything rude here not knowing the protocol, plz let

me know, ok?

 

DafneG: check the Actions pull-down menu and you will see the option

 

DafneG: lol,Anita

 

DafneG: the option is "larger text"

 

GwenGst2: by Voip I mean the program voip-buster... I don't know if you

can use it for the M-Learning you are talking about I'm googleing

M-learning as we speak

 

MoiraH: mobile learning

 

DafneG: you can also detach the window to be able to read more of the

past conversation

 

DafneG: Teresa lost her connection again

 

AnitaHM: Thanks! Took me a while

 

DafneG: When you become a member of Tapped In you can create your own

office

 

MoiraH: If anyone knows Turkey (which I don't), I'd like to tell you

what call I got yesterday. A colleague was sitting on the bus and she

skyped me (with text) using skype and her laptop. Buses have wireless

there! Amazing!!

 

HalaH: Daf,how much is the storage on the office?

 

DafneG: and the chat transcriptions are sent to you when you log out

 

DafneG: good question, Hala, he he

 

DafneG: I forgot ;-)

 

AnitaHM: What size font is everbody using. I don't want appear

big---that's aggressive

 

DafneG: no, Anita, we don´t see the size of your font

 

AnitaHM: ok

 

HalaH: Steve, have you been here before?

 

HeatherBu: Hala, you have about 3MB of storage space.

 

GwenGst2: I'm afraid to touch anything. Your type looks fine to me.

Is there a font setting here that I don't see?

 

HalaH: Good!I am a'savisizim" guy these days!

 

SteveSC: J ust when I joined in preparation for this event...haven't

left the reception area yet...

 

AnitaHM: I can see I need to do some exploring here. Thanks

 

DafneG: I know they have extended the storage space, but I have not

been to my office in a while, so I have forgotten

 

HeatherBu hopes Miralyn and Gwen will become members as well.

 

HalaH: You should take one of the help desk tours insde here,Steve.It

worth it!

 

DafneG: that´s right, Hala

 

MiralynGst3: I'm still here...

 

SteveSC: I will...maybe i will learn how to project my thoughts, give

hugs, etc.

 

GwenGst2: I will, I just wanted to see how it worked before I sent to

questions and I hope I can answer them, he he

 

DafneG: wb, Anita

 

DafneG: We are supposed to discuss about the reading for week 1

 

AnitaHM: Thanks...not sure how i made myself leave---hit the wrong

button...oh well

 

DafneG: but there has been quite a discussion in the forum at D2L

 

DafneG: it happens, Anita, don´t worry

 

DafneG: and if you get lost, you can always go back to reception

 

DafneG: there is always some one there to help

 

DafneG: I would like to take advantage of this synchronous event to ask

for your feedback about this first week

 

GwenC: Oh my, I have been missing out on all the D2L discussions.

that´s one of the downfalls of having so many different resources at once

I guess

 

TeresaD joined the room.

 

AnitaHM: I'll have to be silent. It's been a crazy week for me and I'm

planning on catching up this weekend. But what I see I love so far!

 

DafneG: wb, Teresinha

 

TeresaD: hi again!

 

MoiraH: It's a lovely online group and I go to D2L regularly, if only

to read, just to keep up. It makes me feel totally panicked if I see

there are twenty odd messages to be read.

 

DafneG: It´s been crazy for me, too, Anita, I had this exemption exam

for 90 students

 

MoiraH: I feel much happier when it's only one or three :-)

 

DafneG: yes, Moira, I know

 

TeresaD: i agree, moira. but the discussions have been quite

interesting

 

DafneG: I am planning to collect all the messages for the week 1

reading forum and post them to the wiki

 

GwenC: Well, my Saturday afternoon is taken now. I have all that

reading to do. I've been watching hte wiki and thinking... "Where is

everyone?"

 

DafneG: so you can go back to them when the course is over, they are

worth reading again

 

TeresaD: oh, dear, daf! that's a lot of work!

 

MoiraH: This is my way of dealing with many posts. Even if I may not

answer immediately, I am aware of the thread and its content

 

DafneG: I have done that with the reading forum

 

DafneG: but I think that the discussion has been so interesting that

some of us would want to go back after the courses is over

 

MoiraH: absolutely

 

AnitaHM: Off topic question, but is there a "place" where I can get a

list of abbreviations used in chats like this?

 

DafneG: so many topics have been discussed

 

TeresaD: there are several, anita. let me get a couple

 

DafneG: we have a glossary page on our BaW web site

 

DafneG: with links to other pages, too

 

TeresaD: http://www.acronymfinder.com/

 

DafneG: http://dafnegonzalez.com/baw-06/content/glossary.html

 

AnitaHM: Thanks so much...I love to talk but I don't have much

experience in real time chatting, as you can see

 

MoiraH: ctrl click on link otherwise you get kicked out

 

MoiraH: well, I do :-)

 

TeresaD: http://www.pb.org/emoticon.html

 

DafneG: becuse you have your pop-up blocker on, Moira

 

MoiraH: yes

 

DafneG: you can unblock it for TI

 

TeresaD: http://www.netlingo.com/emailsh.cfm

HalaH left the room (signed off).

 

HalaH joined the room.

 

DafneG: wb, Hala

 

HalaH: oops

 

DafneG: Teresinha what is the prob with you connection?

 

TeresaD: hala, connection problems like me?!

 

HalaH: it started!

 

TeresaD: it's the server, not our connection at home. i have no idea

what the problem is

 

HalaH: Can I have the last likns on,please

 

DafneG: you will get them in the transcript, Hala,

 

DafneG: thanks for making me a buddy of yours, Gwen!

 

HalaH: right,forgot

 

MoiraH: Thanks Gwen :-))

 

TeresaD: and i'll add them to the links page in our wiki

 

DafneG: and we will post the transcript to the wiki

 

TeresaD: yes

 

DafneG: for those who are not here

 

GwenC: Oh, I'm sorry guys. I watching the chat and playing with

buttons. I figure while you are all here listed I'd include you. Does it

disturb you?

 

HalaH: no

 

DafneG: not at all

 

MoiraH: on the contrary

 

DafneG: I feel honored

 

GwenC: Oh good, I'm very impressed with all these functions.

Overwelmed actually

 

DafneG: lol

 

DafneG: you can have meetings with colleagues

 

DafneG: they can visit you and leave messages on the board

 

DafneG: and you can also bring your students

 

HalaH: I have t ogo now,sorry ..bed time for kids

SteveSC: I'm here...just listening

 

DafneG: he is in the hot tub

 

DafneG: lol

 

AnitaHM: lol

 

HalaH: lol

 

HalaH: bye

 

HalaH left the room (signed off).

 

MoiraH: Steve, what do you think of this environment?

 

DafneG: Mira is also very quiet

 

TeresaD left the room (signed off).

 

DafneG: there she went again

 

MoiraH: only for us, she's probably doing twenty other things!

 

SteveSC: It's interesting...I wonder though after a certain number of

users enter is it hard to keep track of conversations...like a meeting

where everyone talks at once?

 

AnitaHM: What exactly is a "script"?

 

MoiraH: Yes steve, you're right.

 

DafneG: yes, following the conversation is difficult with many people

 

MoiraH: That's why I have learnt to write the name of the person to

whom I am specifically addressing the reply

 

DafneG: good strategy, Moira

 

AnitaHM: I did do the reading this week---just haven'thad a chance to

discuss or digest

 

DafneG: sometimes there are different threads going on

 

SteveSC: Very post modern...!;-)

 

DafneG: anita, a scritp is the transcription of the chat

 

DafneG: right, Steve

 

DafneG: well, you still have time, Anita

 

AnitaHM: I mean javascript form

 

MoiraH: It's strange Steve. When I first came in here, I thought it

was old-fashioned and not for me. I work with webconferencing tools a

lot.

 

DafneG: oh, sorry

 

MiralynGst3: sorry, daf...work is getting in the way...but I'm

listening :-)

 

MoiraH: But when you see this in action, it's amazing.

 

DafneG: our Webheads Sunday meeting is usually very crowded

 

MoiraH: Daf and Isabel( right Daf) gave a presentation in here. Can

you believe it?

 

DafneG: yes, with more than 30 people

 

DafneG: I have also given presentations here

 

SteveSC: Regarding feedback on the class, I am impressed with how

organized it is and how much information is flowing!

 

MoiraH: Well I couldn't. Daf called order as if in front of a whole

lecture room full of eager listeners who chatted all the time

 

GwenC: Can we drop into webheads and otehr groups, or do we need an

invite?

 

DafneG: In fact, my first presentation online was here

 

DafneG: thanks, Steve

 

DafneG: Yes, Gwen, you are cordially invited to join webheads

 

AnitaHM: A presentation would be a hck of a lot of typing, wouldn't it?

 

MoiraH: I was totally bowled over by what people can do hee

 

DafneG: yes, Anita, I usually have everything written in a word

document, and then just copy and paste

 

MoiraH: links were used Anita and everyone went to them when instructed

to

 

GwenC: That´s exactly what I was typing, Moira. It's amazing to me

what people are doing... and what we have to learn

 

AnitaHM: Cool!

 

DafneG: but you have to answer people´s questions

 

DafneG: so you have to be aware of what people are writing in the chat

 

AnitaHM: How long did it take---could be days....;-)

 

DafneG: Teresa and I will be moderating a TESOL Electronic Village

Online course for teachers in January

 

MoiraH: It's strange but I always put my headphones on before coming

into Tapped In

 

MoiraH: Do I need them? No

 

DafneG: not really, usually one hour, Anita

 

DafneG: lol, Moira

 

GwenC: Cold ears, Moira?

 

MoiraH: But this goes so fast I can hear everyone :-)

 

DafneG: that´s right

 

MoiraH: It's true! I am not joking

 

DafneG: and when you have heard people´s voices, you can listen to them

 

AnitaHM: I was thinking that a one-hour presentation could take three

hours

 

DafneG: Our session will be: Becoming a Webhead

 

DafneG: it is a free 6-week session

 

DafneG: where we introduce web tools

 

GwenC: Sign up is only in the first part of January though right?

 

DafneG: Moira has been with us

 

DafneG: right, Gwen

 

MoiraH: wonderful experience
