| 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 | |

| 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=... | |
| 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=... | |
| 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=... | |
| 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 | |
| Brad Hicks | our school vacation starts in 2 weeks, 2 month break over summer | |
| cheryloakes | way cool, you must be very busy right now. | |
| Doug | in Canada our Thanksgiving is Columbus Day in the US | |
| cheryloakes | yes we already celebrated it with our canadian friends | |
| Brad Hicks | well I substitute teach - so not really for me , but my wife teaches High school English full time so she is very busy doing reports and marking | |
| Brad Hicks | I just have to get this last uni assignment done for my Masters for this semester | |
| cheryloakes | good luck to you with your last assignment. | |
| cheryloakes | nite off to bed. | |
| Brad Hicks | thanks | |
| Brad Hicks | gnight | |
| Brad Hicks | I'm working next week, unfortunately | |
| Brad Hicks | but the week after is good | |
| JasonR | "You are about to enrol yourself as a member of this course." | |
| 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=... | |
| 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 |
