Class of 3.1

Minhaaj ur Rehman

Introduction: 

I am Minhaaj ur Rehman, an educational consultant from Lahore, Pakistan. I have been teaching ESL online for quite sometime now. I have come across webcastacademy couple of months ago and i have come to love it. Looking forward to have lots of fun.

Webcasts
Webcast Report (Interncast #1): 

Wen't Smooth. My Guest was Sheila Adams from New Hampshire. I asked her questions about her life, teaching experience and little quiz at the end?

Webcast Report (Interncast #2): 

This time my guest was Peggy George from Arizona. We had fun time with Peggy narrating her experiences being a lifelong teacher. She retired from being a Principal at a local school. Her stories of life were inspirational and enriches teachers.

Webcast Report (Interncast #3): 

My final interncast with Glen Gatin from Manitoba, Canada. Interview was very long and we had great time listening to Glens experience and comparison of old and new age education and things. His insights on educational research and open source education were mind blowing.


Better late than never?

Wondering if I should try to do the class with 3.1 or wait for 3.2?

Teacher Trek #3

Hi folks! Minhaaj will be interviewing me for Teacher Trek #3 on Saturday, 8/23/08 at 6pm CST (I believe it is 1800 GMT). If you are online please join us! I am sure Minhaaj will have a link to his streaming location which I believe will be at the Webcast Academy site.


Linux for Webcasting

Please find attached tutorial file for using webcastacademy on linux OS. I have tried to write it here, but for no reason it won't allow me copy paste the whole tutorial so i am attaching the file with this post. Hope it would be helpful for interns with linux as OS


Problem: White blobs for avatars in SL

When I joined our webcast academy group on Second Life this afternoon I experienced something really strange--white blobs in place of some of the avatars (but not all). Has anyone ever had this happen? Any ideas what might be causing the problem? Would love any tips you can provide. I'm a real newbie to SL so it may just be "operator error." Thanks.

Adventures through webcasting - Carlos F

I've joined in three weeks and four days ago... Coming here every night seems a habit, allmost an addiction, although I firmly believe it is a healthy one... Back to when I started, I was eager to learn always having in mind how could I take all of this into my lessons...


Telephony Call recording

I was having problems and wanted to go back to the beginning. I tried recording both sides of a telephony and could not get the Skype lady to come through. I restarted my laptop, launched the programs and it worked just fine. Heading back to ustream to see if I can get those settings to work to stream.


Setting Preferences - Unraveling the Mystery of Recording a Two-Way Skype Call

After watching the screencast (several times) and downloading Hijacker Pro onto my Mac, I carefully set out to select all of the correct preferences. i am recording them here as a reference for my next try at this.

System  Preferences (Output USB headset/ Input Internal microphone Built in)

Skype Preferences (Output - Built-in Internal speakers  /  Input - USB Headset)

Hijacker Pro Preferences ( Output - Built-in Speakers / Input - USB Headset)

A quick tweet to Lisa Durff and I was ready to chat via Skype.
