Moderator (Lorna Costantini): If you are new to our show, please watch the video to find out how to participate
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): You can also enjoy listening to our preshow music :)
mkefgen: My Tools doesn't give me an audio choice. I can hear the welcome video. Will I be able to hear the morning session?
Tammy Moore: Can you hear Kim right now?
mkefgen: Right now the getting started video is playing and I can hear it.
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): you will be fine then
Moderator (Kim Caise): did you hear me speaking a few minutes ago
Tammy Moore: If you think that you did not hear Kim, go to Tools/Audio/Audio Setup Wizard
Tammy Moore: It will walk you through
Tammy Moore: :)
mkefgen: no, I haven't heard you speak. I don't have an audio choice in my tools.
Tammy Moore: Ahhh, we had that with a few students after the Christmas holidays in our Elluminate
Tammy Moore: Log out and back in
Tammy Moore: THat will fix it
Big Dog: are you permitting any participants to speak?
Moderator (Kim Caise): thank you Tammy! haven't experienced that before
Tammy Moore: We had about 20 students that first week back after Christmas break
Tammy Moore: that had the audio missing in the tool bar
Big Dog: thank you
Tammy Moore: One log out and back in fixed that for all but one student
Moderator (Kim Caise): wow, never heard of having that problem. wonder what caused it
Tammy Moore: I think it had something to do with the update that was released over the holidays. Most students were just fine
Tammy Moore: just a few had it happen
Tammy Moore: Easy fix though
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): tweet the show out everyone :)
Moderator (Kim Caise): thanks for the reminder lorna!
mkefgen to Lorna Costantini, Kim Caise: I still cannot find audio in the tools menu even though I logged out and back in. Is there some setting on my computer that may be causing this. I have been involved with these discussions before and I could hear everything.

mrsdurff: Amen to free
vanhookc: Hope elluminate is free???
McTeach: jsanderson...well, you're practically next door!!
jai.venaik: of Globalization Outsourcing and many things is going to be good ttoo
mrsdurff: @vanhookc not
Daniel: does anyone have some resources like permission forms for minors to participate on cam?
vanhookc: @mrsdurff - Hi!!! i thought she said illuminate could be free
mrsdurff: hi!
jai.venaik: is it ?
McTeach: Free is good!
Lucian Cornel Duma , Romania: Hy everybody
Daniel: tnx
mrsdurff: i need more coffee
Paula Naugle: Elluminate has a free room for three participants.
Maureen: Anyone using tokbox?
Caroline: Some schools are including photo and video/web conferencing permissions at registration time.
vanhookc: ahhhhh! some free is a good thing
mrsdurff: we call it the hot seat
Paula Naugle: Not using Tokbox yet.
Daniel: that's if they're ahead of the game
mrsdurff: only kid in hot seat can talk/hold mic
Brian NYC: yeah I use toxbox with my students in Math
Daniel: thinking ahead mrsdurff: i use a desktop
Maureen: I have to figure out how to connect 120 kids btwn 2 chorus grps in Berlin and US...
mrsdurff: wow
Esther: Hi luis Marcelo. Sou de Santa Catarina, vivo en Iowa agora.
jai.venaik: sameproblem faced by us in India also Maureen
Paula Naugle: @Maureen that sounds like a great project.
mrsdurff: do a handshake @maureen on a ning
mrsdurff: or in Edmodo
mrsdurff: oir even Voicethread
vanhookc: tough part is testing all the external mic and speakers, while or as before you start....gets tricky
jai.venaik: but if its good quality it woks well
Maureen: @Paula- chorus teacher wants to connect- kids are learning same song. Lots of ideas, but figuring out best way is hard
jai.venaik: ive tried it in my skool
Paula Naugle: Need to know how to do split screen for Skype.
mrsdurff: @Maureen - dimdim?
Daniel: for skyp just use PiP
mrsdurff: @Maureen OoVoo ?
Paula Naugle: @Daniel What is PIP? mrsdurff: @Maureen - a live connection?
Daniel: Picturre in Picture
vanhookc: if possible explain those split screens in illuminate - multiple cams....maybe explain on wiki or something. THANKS
Daniel: and max the size of the screen
Maureen: Lisa, just not sure, haven't had the experience. Bandwidth wasn't good enuf in past. Hope to meet w/teacher and have a plan on Tuesday. Looking for ideas still.
Paula Naugle: @Daniel Is that an options on Skype?
mrsdurff: if asynch - I would suggest VT
Daniel: yes
jai.venaik: how do you do multiple conferemcing with skype?
Suzie Martin: I think online Jeopardy competitions is something my teachers would be interested in.
Daniel: view full screen
mrsdurff: record on Audacity first
Paula Naugle: @Daniel Thank you.
Daniel: and your own picture enlarges
mrsdurff: both choruses singing
Daniel: YW
jgates513: good point on HOTS - "show and tell" just doesn't work. Kids lose interest too quickly
mrsdurff: then upload to the VT
Maureen: @mrsdurff asynch and synch- but time dif are hard.
mrsdurff: kids can listen to each other and comment
clinds: I came in a couple minutes late so I apologize if I'm repeating what someone has said. Is anyone using a more robust teleconferencing system at their school? I've been using Skype but due to school bandwith it's always choppy and hard to hear students who are sharing.
Daniel: great idea
mrsdurff: make a blog for both classes to visit
Heather 1 to [email protected]: even though it focuses on K-12 it can be applied to what we do :)
sudhanshi.ci: :)
Daniel: elluminate is great for low bandwidth situations
mrsdurff: @clinds I prefer Skype
monika: dabbleboard on a ning site works great
Daniel: I love back channel chats
Daniel: awesome
jgates513: @cinds - what state r u in?
jai.venaik: ning is great !
monika: skitch is great for mac too
John Thompson: Probably not a Skype problem but something with your school network.
Lucian Cornel Duma , Romania: I used Flashmeeting in the projects
Maureen: @mrsdurff- I set up a blog, but debating whether to have all kids with own blogs- too much to moderate... or just give them permissions. Did intial videos last week, but still trying to work out direct connections
mrsdurff: @monika - you can request they remove ads if used with K12 students
sudhanshi.ci: @jay-tru
clinds: @Daniel - Are you using the free Elluminate opportunity through Learn Central
Brian NYC: yes I have a Learn central account
Daniel: just Three for Free
clinds: @jgates513- I'm in MA.

Moderator (Lorna Costantini) to virginia alberti: GM Virginia
sudhanshi.ci: k fy9
McTeach: that's helpful for classroom management also!
jai.venaik: ok virginia alberti: ciao
clinds: @Daniel - So you could use Learn Central if 2 classes are trying to collaborate, right?
mrsdurff: @Maureen I do this with 1st grades - MD<-->China
vanhookc: and skype...can only handle a number of simultaneous logins...looking for ten at one time!
mrsdurff: aw coffee got cold - need more......

Shelly Terrell: I can use Ustream! I'm lucky there's no filtering at my school
DeirdreB: Any resources for teaching techniques for videocasting
mrsdurff: http://webcastacademy.net/
Lucian Cornel Duma , Romania: New . Do you know about Meebo Room ?
Sheri Edwards: Yes, so far we can use ustream
Maureen: I have tried ustream, it works, but you have to unblock the port on the server for chat
Shelly Terrell: I just have to figure out how to manage 2 huge classes on both ends & just having an LCD projector
DeirdreB: Question: resources for how to teach?
mrsdurff: I'm trying to enjoy my coffee but this person keeps bringing up my name
Kathy S: what did you mention works with out download?
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): gret multi tasking SHelly
Maureen: Tokbox has video and you can have 20
Moderator (Kim Caise): http://gl.am/kbNVH
jackiegerstein: I just had someone recommend Shoutbox as a text chat - does anyone know it.
Shelly Terrell: Thanks @lorna I'm ok at that but I'm sweating it
mrsdurff: don't forget Qik
Dave Sapp: We can use ustream at our school in but many others can't-just had a teacher told they have to talk to principal to have a site open
Dave Sapp: I hate this filtering issue
Shelly Terrell: @maureen does the Tokbok use a lot of bandwidth
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): bandwidth can be a big issue in a large school board
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): especially at lunch time
Annette: What exactly is UStream?
Lucian Cornel Duma , Romania: http://www.meebo.com/room/elearningtehnologytoolsandapplicationsweb20gatewaythroughknowledge/
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): when the kids hit the library
Maureen: Haven't tried it at school - works fine at home. It's one I will be testing next week before deciding what to use for project
Jane R: At our school we have to get our technology person contact the district to unlock site
mrsdurff: many teachers don't realise they could take their own server - cellphones too
jgates513: @Dave -I feel your pain. And we're ALL following the same laws! ARGH!
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): http://ustream.tv - free streaming with ads
Shelly Terrell: I'm in Germany so using the cell phone is really expensive
DeirdreB: TEACHING TECHNIQUES for WEBCONFERENCING???
mrsdurff: @Shelly Skype?
Shelly Terrell: @Deirdre I like your question
monika: is it easy to set up cell phones?
Maureen: @shelly- the project I am helping put together is with a class in Berlin.
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): http://www.livestream.com/ another streaming service
jackiegerstein: Little league fields have ads too
McTeach: perhaps classroom management?
jackiegerstein: They are all over the place
John Thompson: Best to use landline phones, not cellphones, for VC.
mrsdurff: justin.tv
DeirdreB: Teaching during the conference what are best practices?
clinds: Has anyone heard of or tried BigBlueButton for conferencing? I heard about it on an edtech talk podcast and they were really excited about it. I think it's pretty powerful.
vanhookc: Can you upload a video on this elluminate whiteboard and have your voice narrate
McTeach: I have a huge class (36 students)...concerned about how to keep it under control during a web conference jgates513: BrightTalk
mrsdurff: JL liked it a while back
Shelly Terrell: @mrsduff Hello! Yes I'm going to try Skype 1st time for my school with 2 large groups. 40 hs & 30 ms at the other end
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): yes to video
Jon H.: lol
aimeeb: lol great suggestion!
mrsdurff: @Shelly Skype works well with either PCs or MACs
McTeach: I like that!
Jon H.: those make for the best video :)
Shelly Terrell: Thank you! That sounds like a great strategy
clinds: We just skyped with a class for the first time and the students were asking eachother questions that they had come up with. It was great but the biggest problem was the kids were so excited they kept all yelling out answers and it was really hard to hear!
Sheri Edwards: for colleges and universities: http://bigbluebutton.org/
Maureen: @shelly I will be trying it with 2 huge grps as well- 60-75 on each end.
Suzie Martin: Contracts for participation might help temper behavior.
Shelly Terrell: What kind of activities can students do in the background while others asking questions?
Lucian Cornel Duma , Romania: http://skypeinschools.pbworks.com/
Shelly Terrell: What specific activities do you recommend?
Daniel: how about doing it in a lab and have thm do a back channel chat like we're doing now
mrsdurff: it's best is everyone has the same version of Skype
Daniel: have them each prepare a question and have it asked orally and then record the answer in a forum
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): SKype is pretty awesome
Maureen: Kim, can you talk about how to record webconferences?
mrsdurff: and there is a whiteboard too
Bodie: and file sharing
DeirdreB: I've been in webconferences where prof had back turned to camera talking to live class and ignoring me
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): different apps can record
Moderator (Lorna Costantini): soem can't
jgates513: GREAT! Looking forward to the url for the video
clinds: Wow! I can't wait to watch the video!

Shamblesguru: I'm amazed at the improvements in Skype since the last upgrade .... the Skype software auto prevents audio feedback so no need for headset. I did a workshop last month in Singapore ... had an educator (Tim) join us from USA using Skype and I just left my laptop at the front of the room .... and I could talk normally from anywhere in the room. (laptop plugged into external speakers). So impressed I Flipped a few minutes to show it happening ... see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f09veWVpB0w also used Etherpad ...... Skype and Etherpad a great combination. New(ish) part of Skype is now sharing of your desktop.
mrsdurff: applauses to shambles
Paula Naugle: My class of 27 students was interviewed by two 5th grade classes from New York. They had 60 students. I put 3of my students in front of the camera at one time to support each other.

Brian NYC: @Annette are you lokijg at a particular program
