BeeD: Haven't you managed to open it JM?
DafneG: close the other one
ButhainaA: Don't you think it will spoil the learning with fun experience?
BeeD: type the url directly to the browser
BeeD: the rubric?
DafneG: copy it to the pasteboard, JM
BeeD: I have the rubric for the personal journal...not for the interactive blog
DafneG: I use rubrics for journals too

BeeD: I will upload the webpages later...without the booklet thing for you to see JM
LuisaRo: ;I raise my hand
DafneG: this is a do-it-yourself session
SaraMa: I guess we're about to lose all the cyberstickers we might have earned, due to our terrible behaviour here today...not paying attention to poor Bee!

DafneG: my pleasure, Buth
ButhainaA: Oh, Sus, dear how are you/
LuisaRo: Bee, can we read your e-book later?
SaraMa: Bee next time you should give us just a dull word document so that we actually pay attention! Instead of such a great document!
BeeD: There should be a sound here ...to call people back to order...some sort of bell
DafneG: that's true, Bee
LeahS joined the room.
BeeD: I just answered your questions Sara
DafneG: wb Leah
AgataZ is handing Bee a cyber-whistle

LuisaRo: poor Bee!
SaraMa: lol
ButhainaA: wb Leah
AntoniaM antonia raises hand :)
BeeD: let's chat then...if there are no questions
SusanneN rings a little bell
DafneG: what have you found interesting in the book, guys
AntoniaM: Will you leave the book available to read at our leisure?
SusanneN: I find the open pages are very cool
ButhainaA: Is this the Leah from Vance's TESOl Academic session?
DafneG: it will be in the chatlog, Antonia
MariaJ: I am going throgh it and it is fantastic.....
LeahS: Thanks. But the problem is, the circle which indicates download just goes around for ten minutes or so, and I can't use my pointer or move in the book..I'll just access it later in the day and explore
BeeD: I will link it to my http://beewebhead.blogspot.com
SusanneN: that lets my own imaginateion wander
AntoniaM: great!
LeahS: Hi Buthaina..no, I'm the Leah from Anaheim Univ.
ButhainaA: yes, Bee, good idea
ButhainaA: Oh, great to see again here
MariaJ: whih tool did you use to do that book?.... just an editor?
ButhainaA: How are things?
BeeD: www.keeboo.com
DafneG: It will also be next to Bee's presentation on the chatsessions page
RobertWB: This is wonderful work Bee...I am quite impressed.
SusanneN: I've already downloaded the KeeBoo trial version
LeahS: thanks Bee..will read it later
SusanneN: it is SO cool.
RobertWB: and I know that you have done this in what,...the last week?
BeeD: it looks nice but as I was saying...too tricky
JaneAP: Bee--I do have another question but I'm not sure you can answer it here. Suppose I want to add a very big power point presentation to my blog--can it be done? Is there a blog provider that is better than others for this?
RobertWB: That make it all that much more impressive.
SaraMa: I have a comment. I liked very much the jigsaw activity.
ButhainaA: wow, tthis blog by blogspot has acomment feature?
BeeD: The jigsaw was Jane's question...I hope I have answered
FernandaR: how long did it take you to make this presentation with keeboo?
JeanMC left the room (signed off).
JaneAP: Yes, Bee. A wonderful answer to my jigsaw query
BeeD: Not built in Buth...you have to add it...I explain it in the booklet
ButhainaA: I strongly agree with Robert
SaraMa: i'm interested in possible activities for blog usage with students, and I'm thinking of creating a webpage with the ideas just came to my mind about that
ButhainaA: very impressive Bee
ButhainaA: ok, I will find the anser, Bee, thanks
BeeD: I finished it this morning...before going to school...got the last questions in and answered
RobertWB: JaneAP, I think the answer to your question is going to have todo with how much space the blog affords you.
SaraMa: I mean, that onece we've got the links to providers and we learn about how tos, I'd really like to consider real usage possibilities
BeeD: You can link to a powerpoint presentation...
RobertWB: I have a private blog and am limited to a certain amount of space, but I can buy more...the free blogs usually have a space limit.
BeeD: which is already online
ButhainaA: Great job, Bee, must read your answer..
JaneAP: Thanks RobertWB (is that elderbob in code?) Do you know of any websites that allow you to store PowerPoint the way you can store pictures?
RobertWB: elderbob...sorry it's the way I had to sign up.
BeeD: I can store Power Point on Tripod
MariaJ: But you could put some blogs on your own server too
JaneAP: Thanks Bee.
BeeD: which hosts my website
RobertWB: Again, my allows me to determine what I want to archive, but basically it can be done.
RobertWB: I just haven't had a chance to use mine that much...
BeeD: Powerpoint presentations are extremely heavy and take lots of space on disk
ButhainaA: the only reason I don't use blogs by blogger.com with my remedial class is because they don't support comment feature..but good we have Bee, thanks
BeeD: You can add it...in two minutes
RobertWB: My service providor put mine together for me...
RobertWB: I use MT...I forget what that stands for...
DafneG: I read that Tabulas was very good
DafneG: for collaborative work
BeeD: I saw your post Daf...looks good...must try it
RobertWB: I also am involved in an Wiki, its not mine, but we are learning how to use it in another studygroup I belong to,
DafneG: so many things to try
BeeD: Yes...and so little time!
DafneG: do you ever sleep, bob?
BeeD: I think he does not
RobertWB: What is sleep?
BeeD: he's permanently online...lol
DafneG: yes, he is, Bee
AgataZ: and active!
BeeD: Bob...I have just enrolled for Dreamweaver
RobertWB: I am wet-wired...I have a phone line runninginto a USB port under my arm.
BeeD: lol
DafneG: me too, I registered in Moodle
FernandaR: so did I
SaraMa: and me too!
DafneG: but you are a senior Fern
RobertWB: Yes, there are several of you who have signed up for the Dreamweaver..i have already appointed you and Dafne to write the final text for our sessions.
LuisaRo: what is moodle?
DafneG: and Sara too
ButhainaA: Oh, where can I join DW, Daf/
DafneG: hhhhh
DafneG: look in our list, Buth
RobertWB: I haven't granted senior status to anyone but me yet, until I know who has the most experience.
ButhainaA: I use it for 3 years now, and think it's the best, so far
RobertWB: but I am intersted in small bribes.
SaraMa: No Daf, I'm not a senior! Just enjoy playing with tools!!
DafneG: I can give you the list, bob
DafneG: Sara, Eva, Fernanda, Maria
AntoniaM: I'm up for both elderbob!- moodle & dreamweaver...I'll check I've signed...:-)
FernandaR: I don't know what I am, Daf... I surely try to touch everything and end up by doing nothing
ButhainaA: oh, sorry, Daf, it's late here, you knwo, i know i behaved like my studetns
ButhainaA: hehehe
RobertWB: Well, Buth will be the first senior after me..
BeeD: So...any questions about Blogging you would like me to answer?
BeeD: or presence online?
ButhainaA: Oh, wow, thanks Rob
SaraMa: Same about me Fern! Just trial and error DW learning!
DavidCou joined the room.
GregK: Bee, have you had any students respond through using audio?
DafneG: Do you use lots of HTML in your blog, Bee?
BeeD: Not yet...we do not have audio open at school
RobertWB: I am just looking for guides not experts...
BeeD: but I am planning to use the phone
RobertWB: this is collaborative learning....
GregK: Have you had any student privacy issues/concerns while using Blogs?
SaraMa: Yes, a question. What do you use your blog for. i mean what type of activity?
BeeD: to record their voices
RobertWB: I have to take my child to her college classes now, so I have tosign off for a while..is this going to be archived...
FernandaR: I have a question: do students generally react well to blogs? do they feel enthusiastic?
MariaJ: so I think most of us are in the same situation whe using programms.... trial-error
DafneG: sure, Bob
ButhainaA: the phone! not in my case, nobody will pay!
RobertWB: Kewl, then I shall bid you all g'day...and have an awesome tomorrow.
MariaJ: anyway, we are teachers of languages, not informatics......;)
RobertWB: bye all.
BeeD: I teach at an international school...Brazilians are very open to new things and gadgets...Europeans not that much...lol
DafneG: bye, Bob thanks for coming
DafneG: that's true, Bee
BeeD: Thanks for being here Bob
JaneAP: I was wondering about the privacy issues and enthusiasm issues as well--esp for busy college (18-24) age students
MariaJ: I do agree with you both....
RobertWB: I had fun...
RobertWB left the room (signed off).
BeeD: I do not allow them to post private information about themselves
SaraMa: I'm thinking of creating some sort of bog-quest
MariaJ: Most Europeans need more energy to move....
ButhainaA: Yes, Fernanda, but I found that e-learning is very sensative, in the sense that a little mistake from the instructor can turn SS off
BeeD: I give them quite strict rules
MariaJ: blog-quest?
JaneAP: Sara--what do you mean by bogquest?
MariaJ: that sound very good Sara
MarciaRe joined the room.
AntoniaM: can they post themselves or do you moderate?
ButhainaA: In my case, blogs worked mirales
SaraMa: Using the blog as the tool for students to write on things they've found out through a 2mini quest" on links posted for that task
BeeD: welcome Marcia, can I help you?
MariaJ: we could try something like that.....
ButhainaA: Students loved it
MarciaRe: Looking for library tapped in. Sorry
MarciaRe left the room.
DafneG: what are your rules, Bee
ButhainaA: I will definitely repeat the experience this time
MariaJ: we could talk to Isabel Perez, who know a lot about that.....but sh is very busy now with her tesis
JaneAP: Hmm...maybe the blogquest could become a scavenger hunt of sorts
SaraMa: I mean I'd post a couple of links for the quest, ask some questions or opinions about the inf they found, and they should reply at the blog
ButhainaA: good question Daf
BeeD: I do not let them post their full names, information about where they live or telephones and such
DafneG: good idea
DafneG: very sensible
BeeD: they usually use nicknames
SusanneN is back with you
BeeD: and I do not make the blog public...well, it is now for you...
DafneG: are they motivated from the beginning?
DafneG: only for the group
JaneAP: Bee and all of you--thank you very much. This has been enormously helpful. I have bookmarked the url and plan to come back to it later. Unfortunately I have to go now.
ButhainaA: May i ask , Bee, why do you do this? security reason/
BeeD: it takes some time for them to start off...but once they get the kick, then it's plain sailing
BeeD: My students are under 18 Buth
DafneG: in that age they like writing diaries
BeeD: Thanks for coming Jane ...and drop me a line if you still have questions
SusanneN: Bee, how do you make blogs internal?
ButhainaA: oh, I see.
BeeD: you could have them on an intranet
MichaelDK: Could you comment on advantages of using a blog over a Web-based bulletin board such as NiceNet?
SusanneN: could we talk about intrablogging?
JaneAP: Since you're talking about privacy--one last question. Do you include pictures of your students?
ButhainaA: Bee, do you recommend blogspot for kids/
BeeD: I gave you the answer in the e-book :-)
BeeD: I like it because it is very simple with no frills
ButhainaA: Or, tripod.com? which one do you think is better and why? i mean for the kids/
SusanneN: Oh, so if we have more questions AFTER reading your booklet, we will aks again Bee :-))
BeeD: I'd say the blogger
BeeD: read my answer to your question in e-book
ButhainaA: I wish i have read the e-book earlier..sorry about this Bee
LuisaRo: That's what i'm going to do: first study, then ask questions
SaraMa: I'm sure we will be contacting you Bee, after we've done our homework!
ButhainaA: was really too busy, tomorrow is ther first day I meet my new stduents
BeeD: I have just presented it Buth...so there was nothing there to ask
DafneG: good girl, Luisa
JaneAP left the room (signed off).
LuisaRo: now i'm silent
