| Aglaia | ok click on it and it will lead you to the Skype conference |
| lee | https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=227659 |
| birgul | i am there actually listening to a few people speaking at the same time |
| lee | http://www.webcastacademy.net/node/694 |
| osnacantab | Can you tell us what the breakthrough was? |
| lynne.kahatapitiya | hey birgul...ur lite years ahead of me... |
| Aglaia | as Moira said, if you listen it means it's ok |
| Aglaia | but as you, i don't know if we continue through e-mail. |
| Aglaia | Does anyone here know how will we continue the course? |
| sendkathy | cathyfiddle, I don't have a webcam on my laptop at this time. |
| lynne.kahatapitiya | email aglaia |
| birgul | i am wondering if i am listening to it thru the mp3 link or skypecast |
| cem | Birgul are on skype also? |
| birgul | yes, cem |
| osnacantab | The screencasts are works of art! Tremendously helpful. |
| cathysfiddle | Anybody here a Mac user like myself? I'd like to use Skypecast but I don't think that's possible. All I get is the window that says who's there, but I'm unable to get sound |
| cem | 66 isn't it? |
| birgul | sure it is cem |
| cem | thanx |
| lee | yes it is and i am on mac |
| Graham | me too |
| cathysfiddle | sendKathy , I never use my webcam. I'd have to get dressed etc for that! |
| Graham | have you got the latest version of skype Cathy? |
| Aglaia | Birgul do you see contacts or someone in Skype? I have the feeling that would indicate you are through Skype |
| greenstuder | 5'm on Mac, too and for me it works |
| cathysfiddle | the latest for Mac is not the latest for PC |
| cathysfiddle | i do have the latest |
| cathysfiddle | Who is the Kathy who is talking right now? |
| birgul | i can see alot of people listed including you, aglaia |
| Graham | v 2.0.0.6 |
| Aglaia | Birgul that means you are listening to it through Skype |
| Graham | that seems to work well with skypecasts |
| sendkathy | Kathy Shields is a teacher and 1.3 intern from the academy |
| birgul | aglaia, you aglaia2007 ? right ? |
| cathysfiddle | What's her skype name? |
| Graham | the previos version was troublesome |
| birgul | i presume so, aglaia |
| Aglaia | yes Birgul, that's my ID Aglaia2007 |
| birgul | i desperately wanted to talk , but somehow i have been kep waiting |

| nelliemuller | My kids are interested in these communications. |
| sharonp | to suit *my* schedule, our students are meeting on Wednesday afternoons |
| nelliemuller | exactly |
| sendkathy | Are there any teachers at the elementary level? |
| sharonp | it is a matter of finding a schedule that works for both (or more) schools |
| nelliemuller | my kids are fine with communicating from home |
| sharonp | I think we are using it in a more controlled manner in the classroom |
| lee | :) |

| Cathye | I can only hope :) |
| sendkathy | so was anyone experimenting with you |
| Durff | so I don't want 3.0? |
| sharonp | Hi Chris - Webcast academy channel - Sandbox A or B |
| nelliemuller | I was on with a friend. We were chatting away when someone came by and helped us. He was great but I never tried it again. I probably will. |
| sendkathy | sounds like a small success to me! |
| greenstuder | I would like to try and see if I can talk, pls. |
| nelliemuller | I didn't know how to mute and unmute the speakers. |

| Durff | I uninstalled |
| Durff | I reinstalled |
| DougS | also make sure that mic (especially USB) is connected PRIOR to starting audio applications |
