11:58:12 JL: yes, skype 'worldbridges'
11:58:26 JL: skype conf sounds fine
11:59:07 sharonbetts: Very very yucky streamed. I am on a laptop with wireless connectivity and am not certain I can skype in.

12:04:19 dave: hey folks...
12:04:36 JL: http://vyew.com/room/086346
12:08:57 JenniferW: vyew is being very tempermental today
12:09:54 Anne_Fox: Trying to listen on channel 1 but the stream keeps interrupting
12:10:26 JenniferW: view is getting stuck after the flash download
12:11:25 Andrew: I in vyew
12:11:42 sharonbetts: I got in and logged in - then it hung.
12:11:56 Andrew: It's very stuttery
12:12:31 Andrew: There's not much happening there anyway!
12:15:16 Madeline_Here: I have Flash 9,0,20,0 installed but do not see the desktop
12:17:45 Anne_Fox: Am suffering from constant rebuffering on the audio channel even though I'm on broadband
12:18:02 Sus: Anne, join the Skype call instead
12:18:09 sharonbetts: I am having the exact same problem - buffering and occassional static.
12:18:10 Anne_Fox: Am in Vyew OK
12:18:14 Sus: call jeff on worldbridges
12:18:16 marilynj8: My audio stream keeps stopping and rebuffering. I haven't gotten much of it.
12:19:35 Anne_Fox: Worldbridges on Skype does not answer
12:20:12 sharonbetts: This is a big class
12:22:35 elderbob: Hello all.
12:23:32 JL: https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=...
12:23:53 marilynj8: I am not getting most of this, though I have a broadband connection. I can leave.
12:24:32 marilynj8: Can I get this audio later?
12:25:14 Cathy_Evanoff: Good- cause that was way over my head
12:27:18 sharonbetts: Cathy, did you ever live in Ohio?
12:27:39 Cathy_Evanoff: NO- but I have an Aunt Cathy Evanoff in Ohio
12:27:53 Cathy_Evanoff: My husban's aunt actually
12:28:45 sharonbetts: I once had a Superintendent, John Evanoff in Ohio. Is Anne in the chat room?
12:29:07 Cathy_Evanoff: Don't think we are related
12:32:15 Cathy_Evanoff: I need drupal help :(
12:33:03 marilynj8: I am just listening on webcast, which is still dropping out. . I have just downloaded skype. Will try to join on skype. Maybe it's also a matter of permissions.
12:35:21 sharonbetts: Keep moving away from the page and losing the chat room - I need to get a new window.
12:37:05 Andrew: It looks like there may be a problem with the chat. I had it open in a separate floating windowing and it disappeared.
12:37:46 DougS: having trouble with audio in Skypecast and stream, will keep trying
12:38:23 Parag: Yes, the audio in the stream keeps breaking of. I am on channel 2... is it the same with channel 1 also?
12:38:35 DougS: have channel 1 back now
12:38:47 DougS: sounding good on channel 1
12:39:06 Parag: channel 2 is on again... oops said it too soon
12:39:06 DougS: just lost it again, channel 1
12:39:31 Parag: looks like both the channels step together
12:40:35 marilynj8: I am login out. I hope to hear the broadcast later on my office computer. The buffer on my home computer is not up to the task. Thanks.
12:41:39 DougS: still having trouble on Channel 1
12:42:02 JL: hmmm
12:43:03 DougS: same behaviour on Channel 2 for me
12:43:22 DougS: stop and restart player gives the same clip (~10 sec) and then no stream
12:45:08 DougS: Channel 2 now working for me
12:45:11 JL: try stream again
12:45:47 DougS: ok on Channel 1 as well
12:46:06 JL: http://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp
12:46:55 Cathy_Evanoff: The screencast are wonderful!
12:47:13 Andrew: Yes. I found them useful too
12:47:18 sharonbetts: Yes, I used the Audacity one and will watch many more.
12:48:12 JL: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1449/
12:50:06 JL: Wysiwyg editing
12:53:28 dave: is it just me that's hearing the choppiness?
12:53:54 Cathy_Evanoff: My sound is good
12:54:04 dave: thanks... must be my connection
12:54:14 JL: don't think so
12:54:15 JL: think it'
12:54:22 JL: s my connection
12:54:28 JL: skype is sucking it up
12:54:39 dave: it does do that
12:54:41 JL: try joining skypecast
12:54:47 dave: that's where i am
12:54:55 dave: was
12:54:59 dave: am
12:55:50 JL: try channel 2
12:56:00 Paradox66: What one could use is Cmaptools...making an conceptmap where we could work together
12:56:01 Paradox66: http://cmap.ihmc.us/
12:56:46 Paradox66: But then it is probably be better using assignments to control the learning
12:57:55 sharonbetts: I tend to need a roadmap.
12:58:40 JenniferW: instead of writely -- could we just not make an additional page within drupal
13:00:17 Andrew: A mind map sound like an interesting approach
13:00:42 Andrew: or a wiki?
13:01:07 Paradox66: Cmap is like a wiki mindmap
13:13:26 Parag: We don't need no USB microphones :-)
13:13:34 Parag: HeHe
13:15:13 Andrew: http://cmap.ihmc.us/
13:19:38 nielsd: OK thanks for today - meal is waiting!

Show Announcement Newsletter
If you would like to be an intern, you must post a comment on this forum thread:
http://www.webcastacademy.net/Apply_for_Class_of_1.3
If you don't post there, we won't know that you want to be an intern and will not be able to give you the appropriate posting permissions.  Here is a list of everyone that has posted there so far.
If you don't want to be an intern yet, you are still welcome to be part of the community and make use of the resources on the website, but only interns will be given access to the stream.
For those who signed up to be members of 1.1 and 1.2, but faded away, consider this a final chance to be part of 1.x.

The purpose of Sunday's meeting is to answer questions incoming interns might have, take the first steps toward producing live, interactive webcasts, and develop a learning plan for the Class of 1.3 .
The first assignment for interns is to record and post a short introduction.
For information on how to record and post one, please watch this screencast:
http://www.webcastacademy.net/screencasts/orientation1-2/index.html
Please disregard the part that says a desktop USB desktop mic is required in order to webcast.  We have since learned that this is not always true.
Please post your introductions by Oct. 28.  Only those who post introductions will be considered 'official' members of The Class of 1.3 .
Introductions can be recorded in any language.  Personally, I'm looking forward to practicing my Danish :)

If you have questions or problems posting your introduction, please post them in the forums.

Just a reminder to all - this is a collaborative learning community, which mean we are all responsible for helping ourselves and each other learn.  Last time, I named myself the 'Class Coordinator for 1.2'.  I have since fired myself.  This time around, I hope 1.3'ers themselves will develop a learning plan and assign themselves class management roles, and that past interns will step forward to stream meetings on specific webcasting related topics as requested.

Speaking of which - a late breaking show announcement!  Brad Hicks will be webcasting a help session for Mac users Sunday, Oct. 22 at 1pmGMT (global times)

Webcasting issues can vary significantly depending on which operating system you use, so these sessions that focus on Mac Only issues can be quite helpful for Mac users.

Thanks again to everyone for your interest and participation in the Academy.
I look forward to virtually meeting newcomers and connecting again with Academy 'oldtimers'.

Fiberoptically Yours,
Jeff Lebow
Worldbridges Founder, Webcastaholic, Former Academy Class Coordinator

12:26:57 arvind_grover: andrew started a forum discussion on visualizing our progress: http://webcastacademy.net/node/452
12:27:21 arvind_grover: distance learning classes do this quite well (well some of them :) )
12:27:36 JasonR nods
12:28:28 SusNy: The collaboration aspect is quite important to know how to follow the progress and problems of each other (I admit having beein mostly in reading mode this week)
12:29:09 JasonR: Wow, that's awesome, JL.
12:29:53 arvind_grover: very cool new feature
12:30:11 arvind_grover: i think seeing other peoples' progress also motivates you to stay on task
12:30:23 arvind_grover: is it too formal a structure for people? i know jeff was worried about that
12:33:07 Sue_L.: Not too formal me...I like formal with some wiggle room

12:44:10 arvind_grover: and here is the other flash player i have seen on webcastacademy: http://www.webcastacademy.net/blog/42
12:44:39 JasonR: You should make a badge for scripted program proficiency
12:45:28 arvind_grover: it could be a sleepy face :)
12:46:59 SusNy: what an echo
12:47:43 JasonR loves JL's creamy smooth intros
12:47:54 arvind_grover: definitely
12:48:21 JasonR: relaxed, confident, bold
12:49:08 arvind_grover: good advice, the quick intro is best
12:52:11 Sue_L.: My skype cast shows only one person in it... and it's not me...but I can hear the skypecast... I think it's an eerie halloween thing happening
12:53:08 arvind_grover: we're here!

jehzon	When I come back, can't copy+paste anymore
arvind grover	weird
arvind grover	that new adobe audio editor is available for intel mac's and pc's
arvind grover	could be promising though

jehzon	Everyone using Mac also using Firefox?
Doug	https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=52433
dave	hey lawrie
dave	that skypecast link is to the live audio
lawrie	Hi Dave
jehzon	Hey, another new feature of this chat...used to be the whole line of someone's chat that mentioned my name had its color changed. Now it's just my name, not the whole line
JL	is that true jehzon

arvind grover	no skypecast, can you skype "worldbridges" directly or listen to the stream
arvind grover	jeff is restarting the skype
arvind grover	i mean stream
arvind grover	restarting the stream
sendkathy	I hope this works because my stream keeps buffering and going mute.
sharonbetts	I am having exactly the same problem - it buffers and dies
Madeline Brownstone	Two-way skypecall has still not come front and center on my to-do list. I think I'm going to find the time next week to get going full stream with the webdcast academy assignments and experimentations.
JL	hitting bandwidth limits
JL	will restart channel 2 shortly
sharonbetts	aha - thanks Madeline, I don't feel so far behind then.
arvind grover	the analog analogy is always helpful - if it applies
sharonbetts	I forgot my headphone at work and can't skype in today either - where or where did my organizational skills go?
JL	channel 2 should be on now
sharonbetts	Channel 2 is ok -- good
sharonbetts	darn - it cut out again. Is channel 1 running?
cheryloakes	channel 2
cheryloakes	hi sharon
sharonbetts	and I lost the chatroom when I accidentally tried to re-stream from the same tab. I think this week is lost - hi Cheryl
arvind grover	classic conversation with teachers - they don't want to know how the projector works, juts work!
cheryloakes	Hi Arvind, I still think that way, just work, especially when teaching, there isn't time to troubleshoot with 20 faces looking at you. :-)
arvind grover	i definitely dont want to troubleshoot in class, but i was thinking more during training of teachers. but i know exactly what you mean
arvind grover	:)
cheryloakes	cathy are you a mac?skype
sharonbetts	;)
AnneF	no stream, no skype only web huddle and chat so I think I'll go and listen to the recording later.
Cathy e	I am windows
AnneF	Bye all
JL	bye anne
sharonbetts	me to - where is web huddle info?
Cathy e	www.webhuddle.com
cheryloakes	I use nicecast on my mac
sharonbetts	thanks - the name of the "huddle"?
paradox66	skype:?chat&id=%23arvindgrover%2F%24310f611772562cdc
paradox66	http://peko.se/blogg/2006/05/27/screencast-i-hur-man-sjunger-kanon-med-sig-sjalv-i-audacity/
cheryloakes	it is on the front page of webcast academy edtech@edtechtalk.com pw webcast
sharonbetts	can anyone give me the URL for the site with music clips that Jeff mentioned previously
paradox66	my swedish screencast about making kanon singen
Madeline Brownstone	back again, keep loosing my window too
JL	http://peko.se/blogg/2006/05/27/screencast-i-hur-man-sjunger-kanon-med-sig-sjalv-i-audacity/
cheryloakes	I will start putting tags for mac entries.
Madeline Brownstone	Ah, ha, copy paste works in Firefox. This is the errror I get using Mac OSX 10.4.8 and Audacity 1.2.5Assertion (gfc->mf_size <= MFSIZE) failed in "lame.c" on line 1501
JehZon	yes
JehZon	can't do it either
Cathy e	me either
JehZon	Sometimes it works, most time it does not
Cathy e	Works the first time but not after the first time
arvind grover	that's rightg. i think it works before you takea away focus from the window the first time. once you come back, it doesn't work - oh well, copy paste, who needs it?
Madeline Brownstone	try copy/paste using Apple+C and apple+v that works for me on Mac running firefox
sendkathy	I am just wondering how get the people you'd like to participate ready to go.
arvind grover	thanks madeline, doesn't work for me after the first time i look away from the window
sharonbetts	Good question Kathy. I hope to figure out how and then I need to find who. I also can't copy / paste in windows.
Madeline Brownstone	ha, Arvind:o ...that's what happend to me when I tried to copy something IN the window. It works when I copy FROM another source and paste into the chat
arvind grover	no luck for me
Cathy e	Sharon- I plan to use the webcast with teachers after hours- like a help desk meeting
sharonbetts	Oh - yes that is very much like what I want to do. I meant getting a two way skype call recorded.
sendkathy	I'm just concerned that if we have these issues and are committed to trying to solve them, how will rather low-tech people be encouraged to stick it out?
Cathy e	I have not had luck with that yet
Madeline Brownstone	Arvin: I'm using Firefox version 1.5.0.7 on MAC iBook G4 10.4.8
Cathy e	But low tech people won't have to record in the beginning
Cathy e	Just listen and talk
arvind grover	i am using FF 2
sharonbetts	Kathy - right. I think that skyping to staff is easy. It is the recording stuff that has me bamboozled.
sharonbetts	I am also using FF 2 (windows) and can't copy - paste.
Cathy e	NO- the copy paste issue is a biggie
sendkathy	So Sharon, you are already skyping with your staff?
sendkathy	How do you set up a time and how do you get them interested?
sharonbetts	I can copy / paste in Webhuddle -
Cathy e	What about the old one?
NielsD	Here is my webrecordings in OPAL
sharonbetts	I only skype with a few that are quite teckie - and it is usually around troubleshooting our new ePortfolio software and posting podcasts and videos there. I just tell them I will be online in the evening at a certain time. We also use the chat room in our email client (First Class)
NielsD	her it is www.bibsent.no/nettmote
cheryloakes	http://www.bibsent.no/nettmote/ from Cheryl on her Macbook 10.4.8, using FLOCK
NielsD	http://opal-online.org
NielsD	this last on was to the american OPAL-prosject
cheryloakes	madeline, try using flock as your browser, it works for copying urls.
sendkathy	Has anyone ever webcast to or from an ed tech conference?
sharonbetts	I just uninstalled Flock when I upgraded to FF 2 - ugh
sendkathy	I like being part of a class so I feel I can get to know a smaller group.
Cathy e	No-Kathy, but I have been thinking about it..I will be going to NCETC in a couble of weeks.
NielsD	http://tinyurl.com/cmctf this is my webroom - feel free to go in an look
cheryloakes	Women of Web 2.0 will be webcasting next Tue. from a conference in GA , then on 11/28 from NH, Christa McAulliffe.
sharonbetts	I agree - I am such a dolt about these things and like the class structure
sendkathy	I'm going to GaETC this week.
sharonbetts	wow - are you going to GA, cheryl? any thoughts about TCEA?
Cathy e	Kathy- you can go first :)
sendkathy	Wow, I'm taking CSS with Patrick Crispin on Tuesday.
cheryloakes	lucky you, check out Vicki Davis, Jen, Sharon will be webcasting at 9 PM, I am holding the fort at home here in Maine
Cathy e	I'll listen if you talk
sharonbetts	I will try to check-in on Tuesday this week
cheryloakes	Hope you can Sharon.
arvind grover	here is one commericial shoutcast provider i found: http://wavestreaming.com
Madeline-in-Flock	cannot copy/paste a URL in Flock
arvind grover	i can't figure out what the $2.15 for a 128k stream gets you
sharonbetts	sorry, but it makes me feel better about uninstalling it. ha (Flock that is)
sharonbetts	Jeff there is an echo now.
Cathy e	I don't know I would ever do all the things needed to run a webcast and be in Second Life?
sharonbetts	I registered for Second Life and have spent about 15 minutes there - just no time.
cheryloakes	sorry Madeline, maybe since i am on a Macbook, not G4.
Madeline Brownstone	mayBE
sharonbetts	Yea webheads - I plan on trying to join then this winter.
arvind grover	so strange, wasn't doing anything and the chatroom just logged me out. wasn't even near the keyboard
arvind grover	and not on wireless
cheryloakes	Cathye, I dont' think my computer could take all the punishment of resource use with 2nd life and webcast, wkype
sendkathy	If I ever go the hang of it I would like to run a group.
sendkathy	My computer can't take 2nd life either!
Cathy e	cherly, forget the computer, my brain can't handle it
sharonbetts	Cathy - I am with you! I actually try to have a first life and that's hard.
sendkathy	So true!
sendkathy	Although the I just listed to one of the Intercultural webcast on the topic of reinventing yourself and it seems 2nd life is just the ticket.
arvind grover	you're right jeff, these external hosts are expensive!
arvind grover	they are like $2/listener for 128k
sendkathy	What about raising funds?
Eiseldora	I am a fan of Second Life, because it has many freedoms
arvind grover	so we need a shoutcast server training session - a lot of schools (at least in the U.S.) have high-speed connections. we could put up some servers i think
Madeline Brownstone	my chat screen has a mind of it's own. It keeps wanting to return to the Welcome at the top. Kind of spooky
arvind grover	a paypal button on webcastacademy. or let people pay tuition if they are interested. voluntary
Madeline Brownstone	Arvind: what do I want to know about my upstream bandwidth?
Madeline Brownstone	My school wants to stream....eventually--once I learn. :-)
arvind grover	meadline, for running your own shoutcast server?
sendkathy	Do we have to reserve the sandbox?
sharonbetts	I also was wondering about streaming in the sandbox - although I have a long way to go before I am ready.
arvind grover	i am looking at: http://www.shoutcast.com/download/serve.phtml (i hope i typed that correctly)
Madeline Brownstone	I have to hang on to the scroll bar to keep the chat in place....
sharonbetts	I am picturing that - :D
Madeline Brownstone	:p
Madeline Brownstone	makes typing difficult ;)
JL	http://www.sigmatel.com/support/#drivers
sharonbetts	I see it is 1:15 and I am going to need to sign-off. Hopefully, I will be able to make some progress this week. See you folks.
Madeline Brownstone	I also hpe to get that 2-way skype done this week...finally
Madeline Brownstone	I will try the shoutcast server too....
Madeline Brownstone	with my students
sharonbetts	ambitious - good luck Madeline.
Madeline Brownstone	Well, I have a gaggle of little girls who want to webcast....8th graders
Madeline Brownstone	they are awesome. Been in Lee Baber's spacecast every friday
Madeline Brownstone	now they want to host their own
arvind grover	turn dreams into reality :)
arvind grover	if we get enough interns in a geographic area, we should have meetups (in person)
arvind grover	to do some cross-training
sendkathy	What are the legal implications of recording people?
Madeline Brownstone	How many in the NYC Metro area?
Madeline Brownstone	legal for school kids?
arvind grover	{arvind raises hand}
sendkathy	Yes and anyone else
sendkathy	Is it just a simple media release for signed by parents?
Madeline Brownstone	our children have a signed release from their parents that we can put their work on the Internet....kind of open and vague...
arvind grover	in the U.S. you can record people if they know that they are being recorded
arvind grover	(adults)
Madeline Brownstone	...we say that we will not reveal last names and other identifying information
arvind grover	right on, guidelines for safety are key
sendkathy	What's the best way to invite people from around the country to join a skypecast or to be primary speakers?
Madeline Brownstone	network with friends...
arvind grover	remember that when you skypecast, anyone who finds it on the website can join i
Cathy e	I'm glad we have a gifted student in our class
arvind grover	when yo skype conf, you control who enters
Madeline Brownstone	Kathy, you have school children? what grade?
sendkathy	I know but these are all techies.
JL	http://www.abyssmedia.com/
Madeline Brownstone	I'm in middle school and we have the personallearningspace elgg
sendkathy	I have a sophomore and a senior and teach kindergarten
Cathy e	Where do we go tonight
arvind grover	i am really trying to figure out how to use KRISTAL audio software on my PC because it has a mixer to control input volumes
Madeline Brownstone	for HS try http://youthvoices.??? I'll check it out. Check out teachers teaching teachers. Paul Allison and Susan E are active in that
sendkathy	I have a Promethean board and may want to host a users forum in a webcast.
arvind grover	cool!
sendkathy	Thanks Jeff and all!

Webcast Academy Moodle Discussion

dave		i'm here
dave		yo yo
Brad Hicks		Hi guys is there a skypecast set up?
Brad Hicks		Mr Australia - lol
Brad Hicks		I have some questions from you guys
Brad Hicks		can you bring me in?
Brad Hicks		for you guys*
JasonR		Moooola!
JL		Hey J
Brad Hicks		Hey Jason
JasonR		Greetings
dave		sarah...
Sarah		Hello
dave		darth
dave		cathy
Sarah		It's me
dave		it is you!
Sarah		Yes, it is.
Sarah		that's why I'm part of Pweb. Out of love.
dARTh Gelwicks		Howdy, campers.
Sarah		that's one of the biggest problems I have being part of the Worldbridges community.
dave		camping?
Sarah		pacing myself
Sarah		not getting burnt out
dave		yeah... tell me about it... :)
Sarah		and trying to supress the guilt when I miss personal deadlines
dARTh Gelwicks		It's easy to drown in the deep end.
dave		and then letting them drag on after you miss them
Sarah		and that, too
dave		monkey!
dARTh Gelwicks		Are you having primate problems?
dave		kind of.
Sarah		Oh! I'm not a problem!
Sarah		or, haven't been recently.
JasonR		I blow off my deadlines and go into Second Life instead
dARTh Gelwicks		Why not treat it like a board of directors with yearly nominations and appointments?
dave		we've discussed it
JL		we need to policy it
JL		governace
JL		ance
Sarah		obviously there are backups.
dave		dominance
JasonR		BTW, ecamm supposedly fixed my recording problems with a new update.
Brad Hicks		Yeah i saw that Jason
JasonR		I had an offending colon (:) in my contact list
dARTh Gelwicks		I sat on a municipal board for three years before I bugged out. The only concern would be losing the character of the group under the weight of bureacracy.
dARTh Gelwicks		(avoiding colon jokes now.)
dARTh Gelwicks		Can't help it...I know lots of offending colons.
JasonR		But it's such low hanging fruit
dARTh Gelwicks		I was behind one in traffic this morning.
dARTh Gelwicks		So if they only annoy you are they a semicolon?
JasonR		Har :)
cheryloakes		Hi
cathy e		Hi Cheryl
dARTh Gelwicks		Hi Cheryl
cheryloakes		Hi Cathy
cheryloakes		hi darth and Jason
JasonR		greetings
Brad Hicks		Hi Cheryl
cathy e		an AUP
cheryloakes		Hey, Brad, nice to see you online.
Brad Hicks		Yeah decided to re-neg on a day of substitute teaching today
Brad Hicks		have to get my uni assignment done
Brad Hicks		writing a critical analysis of WorldBridges as a PLC - so really appreciate the guys addressing these questioins
Brad Hicks		Professional learning Community*
cheryloakes		really good idea, share your analysis.
Brad Hicks		will do
dave		must go and feed baby...
dave		nice talking nice folks
Brad Hicks		thanks dave, for your time
dave		MONKEY!
Doug		cya dave
cheryloakes		bejois for Oscar
Sarah		bye dave!
Doug		yes all the best to Bon' and the wee man
dave		many thanks
cheryloakes		hey doug, and sharon, i missed seeing you and JL
Doug		hi Cheryl, sorry I missed it
cheryloakes		the podcast of WW2 is up at webcast academy.
Doug		well done, I look forward to listening
JL		https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=63462
dave		monkey are you on brad's back?
dave		bye again all...
cheryloakes		Brad, it was very good to hear .
dave		really must go... too bad. this is really cool...
JL		Please join in the fun https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=63462
cheryloakes		I agree BRAD, the academy has been incredible. I never thought I would be webcasting. I always like to join a conversation, but this was just not in my vocabulary until I started in the class.
cheryloakes		I am so jealous of you being on the slopes!
cheryloakes		We are water skiing at my mountain.
Doug		I'll be "radiocasting" from a trailer
cheryloakes		Sweet.
Doug		didn't even get on the boards last yr
cheryloakes		I am impressed.
Doug		hope to get some runs this yr
cheryloakes		Women of Web 2.0 new webcast.
cheryloakes		My virtual learning community is more active than my school community most days.
Brad Hicks		yup, 12 am GMT is always good for me
cheryloakes		My virtual community is the place where I am challenged to move onto new learnings, I can be assured that I will learn something new. At school, I get excited when I can share something I've done in my virtual life.
Brad Hicks		break out the coffee :-)
Brad Hicks		here here
JasonR		Weekends work for me
cheryloakes		The webheads meet at 12PM GMT, so a 12AM sounds good.
JasonR		Or late weekdays, after 6pm EST
cheryloakes		I ditto that Doug.
Brad Hicks		guinea pig Doug!
cathy e		I wanna do it... I wanna do it. I will not give up!
Brad Hicks		good idea - wiki
cheryloakes		That is really how I learned best when online with Jeff and Brad one night and just doing it!
cheryloakes		wait, that sounds like planning
Brad Hicks		I was amazed that Jeff succumbed to a Moodle being established ;-)
Doug		it's because of Sloodle == thin edge of Moodle wedge ;)
cheryloakes		hey alex
Alex Ragone		Hi Cheryl.
JL		https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=63462
Alex Ragone		Sorry about that.
Alex Ragone		Going to stay muted for now...
cathy e		I have a feeling I will still be a student in the class of 1.9
cheryloakes		No way Cathy, you are way into Web 2.0!!!
Brad Hicks		Yep, if i can find a good time to schedule sessions, I definitely want to help in my time zone
Brad Hicks		with the academy
JasonR		Heh, you should see the Millionsofus people trying to organize a live event rigt now in SL. I'd copy the URL, but chat is not letting me :(
JasonR		And the sim crashes
Brad Hicks		how many channels can be supported? I though this nmay be a way to raise funding - people renting channels
Brad Hicks		even if just for a token amount
Brad Hicks		do we consider becoming somehow registered as a recognised training organisation? Not sure how that works in US/Canada
Brad Hicks		would this give more weight to certification? Do we care?
cheryloakes		Oh, yes very different!!!
cheryloakes		I wouldn't have joined webcast academy unless I'd been through the webheads class and participated in skype calls.
Doug		great point Cheryl
Doug		Skype almost needs to be its own course
Alex Ragone		jeff's never going to let us graduate anyway!
Doug		especially when it comes to conferences and 'casts
Doug		lol
cheryloakes		Yes, skype, skypecast and probably gizmo
Doug		Google talk?
JL		that laugh was for you Alex
cheryloakes		oh sure more things to learn.
Alex Ragone		brb
Brad Hicks		again though, is there a body through which the Academy becomes recogined as a registered traine? if we want to add some "official education system" certification/acknowledgement of the standards that the Academty training imparts
Brad Hicks		trainer*
Brad Hicks		brb
Brad Hicks		back
JasonR		Accreditation. Is there any org that offers accreditation for this kind of activity?
JasonR		Officially
JasonR		Nationally
JasonR		Internationally
cheryloakes		Kind of like the k12 online conference that has 3 credit class offering through PLymouth State in NH and Shangai University. It will help me with recertification.
JasonR		The International Society of Webcasters
cheryloakes		Yeah ISW
Brad Hicks		yep that's what i mean , and maybe we aren't too worried about it at this stage?
cathy e		if there is a certificate teachers could use the time toward CEUs
JasonR		How do the Ham operators do it?
cheryloakes		right Cathy. right now I write this in my professional development plan
cathy e		good idea- I did not, but I should have
cheryloakes		Just answering the questions doesn't demonstrate proficency.
JasonR		Any parallels here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio
cathy e		proficency would depend on the prior approval that is set
cheryloakes		proficency at many levels, the reading, blogging, the recording, the webcast, the final podcast
cathy e		yes cheryl, it is not just the physical webcasting
Brad Hicks		then have to start ppirate webcast stations!
cheryloakes		Just do it! with goggles.
Doug		http://www.varpa.bc.ca/
Steve		Isn't it the content that should be judged? I wonder how far beyond classroom discussion this lies
Brad Hicks		yeah I have wondered whether there should be a little more reflective blogging required, most poeople do this anyway - depends on how formal/stringent you want requirements to be - the danger is making certification too onerous of course
cheryloakes		I should add more mac stuff in the blog or book of webcasting.
Brad Hicks		I still have to make a lot more contribution to book of webcatsing
Brad Hicks		...when I'm on holiday in a few weeks
cheryloakes		we shoudl skype while working on it, in Mac bridges, that would be a good topic! I'd do it, Alice would join
cheryloakes		easy for you to say JL
cathy e		The lessons are simple- but when you hit a wall...what do you do?
Brad Hicks		well as people build their knowledge, no reason why we can't have some very detailed/varied setup help as people contribute it
cheryloakes		I would reach out to a classmate and have a skype conversation.
Brad Hicks		how do we display those though - in a Person's online profile?
Brad Hicks		on their web pages?
cathy e		yea baby!
JL		yep
cheryloakes		sounds good to me.
Brad Hicks		I still feel certifications need to be given sooner after completion
Brad Hicks		as more new people come into it, they will probably expect to receive their certification soon after completion
cheryloakes		when webcasting it is very helpful to have a safety net of a proficient webcaster in the background.
cathy e		Brad I will be your test student
Brad Hicks		no problem- just have to work out a time that is doable!
cheryloakes		I w ou ld go through it as a webcast 1.2 person, just to see all I"ve done.
cheryloakes		am I almost ready to graduate??
JL		you're proficient
cheryloakes		I really think I want to go through the book of webcast and give feedback that would be helpful.
cheryloakes		yahoo!
Brad Hicks		great idea Jeff
cheryloakes		oh, that is a good idea, a web portfolio
cheryloakes		with badges
Brad Hicks		could put it out to schools
Brad Hicks		snap!
JasonR		nods
cheryloakes		webheads do graphics and surveys and votes all the time
cheryloakes		Doug I am really jealous!!
cheryloakes		Oh, next Thurs evening? after the turkey
Brad Hicks		maske it the following week!
cheryloakes		I am game
Brad Hicks		then i won't be working - would like to join in the continued conversation
cheryloakes		Brad you celebrate Thanksgiving in your area?
cheryloakes		Or is this your vacation
Brad Hicks		No - we have Austrlia Day on January 26th
cheryloakes		okay

JasonR		Typo from Webcastacademy.com
Brad Hicks		thank you Jeff
JasonR		TY Jeff
JasonR		This has been a very affirming experience
cathy e		ditto- I am honored to be a part of this group
JL		https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=63462
JasonR		Are there any VOIP equivalents?
JasonR		in Korea?
cathy e		I have a feather for EdTechTalk's cap. On the cover of our high school news paper that was just released- there is an article about DOPA- the article was there because the mother of the high school student is a teacher in my elementary building. I talked about DOPA during staff dev after I learned about it from you guys and the mom went home and told her 10th grade daugher.
Doug		that's a great story Cathy, thanks
Doug		take care all
