00:09:04 Susanne Nyrop That's a starter :-)
00:09:12 Michael Coghlan How did you do that Susanne? I couldn't find the post button
00:09:20 Susanne Nyrop I think the discussion group is fine for us
00:09:35 Dafne Gonzalez I have spent the whole morning reading and listening to some of the materials posted in different events
00:09:39 Susanne Nyrop But the format need a little patience
00:10:02 Susanne Nyrop Did any of you check tghe Blog tool yet?
00:10:11 Susanne Nyrop Does not work from my site
00:11:15 Dafne Gonzalez I think they have not started sending comments yet
00:11:24 Michael Coghlan still trying to get V in here. And where's Rita???
00:12:06 Susanne Nyrop WE might ask Rita in a message :-)
00:12:25 Dafne Gonzalez I sent her a message
00:12:40 Dafne Gonzalez she has sent me a message asking how to join us
00:12:52 Susanne Nyrop Good!

00:13:03 Michael Coghlan while I help Vance
00:13:05 Dafne Gonzalez Rita uploaded her picture
00:13:13 Susanne Nyrop I like that we can see who's here

00:13:36 Dafne Gonzalez I think she is the the discussion section
00:13:51 Susanne Nyrop We got two chatrooms, one for each session
00:14:09 Susanne Nyrop I wonder if this chat can be logged and saved
00:15:07 Susanne Nyrop Did you know that about 2.200 participants have registered?
00:15:31 Dafne Gonzalez yes, I saw it this morning
00:15:45 Dafne Gonzalez I got here from my schedule

00:17:23 Dafne Gonzalez I have just sent her a yahoo message
00:17:29 Susanne Nyrop No, Rita did not reply to my message either
00:18:17 Michael Coghlan v is having big problems
00:18:25 Susanne Nyrop My Yahoo message is down for some reason since last week, must have turned it off because it was annoying me, and cannot find out how to get it back
00:18:32 Michael Coghlan Think the conf erence chat closed his MSN
00:18:47 Susanne Nyrop Poor Vance, sitting that far away and in virtual trouble
00:19:32 Susanne Nyrop He talked about having one programme running only because of bandwidth ( I guess)
00:19:39 Dafne Gonzalez ok I talked to Rita in Yahoo
00:19:45 Michael Coghlan I think we've lost Vance. And he had to go to some cultural show there where he is
00:19:52 Susanne Nyrop And what did our Rita say?
00:19:59 Dafne Gonzalez she is coming
00:20:05 Michael Coghlan Rita is not in Tapped in

00:39:43 Rita Zeinstejer (sorry, Michael, just called you Mike without asking...)
00:39:50 Susanne Nyrop We can continue exploring this tech aspect of the conference in the discussion group I think?
00:40:05 Michael Coghlan Re the chat session Daf - I think it is reasonabley clear now- We seeem to agree on the basic format in our email discussions oveer the last few days
00:40:27 Dafne Gonzalez yes, that is clear
00:40:46 Susanne Nyrop Yes - I suggest that private chatrooms are not very useful during this session - unless you have lots and lots of people and wish them to get together in pairs
00:41:03 Susanne Nyrop Clear to me, too
00:41:12 Michael Coghlan I'll be online tomorrow at this time if you have any questions then. I agree Susanne

01:09:10 Dafne Gonzalez my satchel is already crowded
01:09:23 Dafne Gonzalez no, I have not gotten it yet
01:09:25 Susanne Nyrop Daf, for what ourposze do you like that satchel?
01:09:50 Dafne Gonzalez because I have the documents I need to read handy
01:10:07 Susanne Nyrop In the packet is: a mouse mat, a plastic bag, a clock in cardbolard to put on your door...
01:10:07 Dafne Gonzalez without jumping from event to event.
01:10:30 Chris Jones I'm glad to try out this chat. I was afraid I'd need to download something.
01:10:56 Dafne Gonzalez no, the site is pretty cool, except for this chat
01:11:04 Susanne Nyrop some pages that you can read online... a nd a CD-rom that I cannot open on Mac - but it contains some help programmes for windows, plus the sound files so that you can hear speakers offline.
01:11:34 Dafne Gonzalez I have been listening and reading a lot these last two days
01:11:50 Dafne Gonzalez there are very interesting events and materials
01:11:58 Susanne Nyrop I lkie the conference a lot - remember that our WIA fellowship role is always to be the critical test user :-)
01:12:06 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
01:12:23 Susanne Nyrop Yes, I lkie the broad mix of many teaching aspects
01:12:31 Chris Jones I was surprised that some events don't have a paper, just a discussion topic with a few paragraphs to explain it.
01:12:52 Dafne Gonzalez while others have lots of materials
01:13:02 Susanne Nyrop Chris, I thiink that many of the presenters are very practically oriented teachers
01:13:23 Dafne Gonzalez I am trying to vote in the poll next to this window, but get an error
01:13:25 Chris Jones I was looking to see if you can print out the chat, but I don't see how.
01:13:32 Susanne Nyrop I like that there is a variety of formats, too
01:13:46 Dafne Gonzalez no, we tried this afternoon.
01:13:47 Susanne Nyrop Chris, trhat is the very point - you can't!!!
01:13:59 Susanne Nyrop At lease WE do not know yet how to do so.
01:14:19 Susanne Nyrop I do not see any way to save the messenger neither
01:14:22 Dafne Gonzalez and if you go to a private room, you miss all the information in the main room
01:14:52 Susanne Nyrop Yes, that is too bad. I think that webCroissing is an older tool that has had a brush-up
01:14:53 Dafne Gonzalez when you come back the previous text is missing
01:15:29 Chris Jones Dafne, your message comes out green on my screen. How did you change the color?
01:15:36 Susanne Nyrop In the menu
01:16:05 Susanne Nyrop I'm now typing in red
01:16:21 Susanne Nyrop Good effect
01:16:28 Chris Jones I tried to change mine to red.
01:16:34 Chris Jones but it didn't work.
01:16:54 Susanne Nyrop You will have to decide HOW red, zero or 100 %
01:16:56 Dafne Gonzalez try the key F9
01:17:26 Chris Jones Let me type first then choose a color.
01:17:52 Susanne Nyrop Try the opposite way round, Chris
01:17:55 Chris Jones Is this blue?
01:18:03 Dafne Gonzalez no
01:18:11 Susanne Nyrop The color shows as you type so you have to try again
01:18:14 Dafne Gonzalez you will see the color on the top
01:18:24 Chris Jones It doesn't work either way. How do i Put in the 100%?
01:18:37 Susanne Nyrop This is Green 151
01:18:43 Dafne Gonzalez click in the bar in the middle until you get the color you want
01:18:46 Susanne Nyrop There is a scroll bar
01:19:21 Susanne Nyrop This is a mix of all three colors
01:19:49 Dafne Gonzalez let me check this color
01:19:49 Chris Jones Hmm. Not working.
01:20:11 Susanne Nyrop t
01:20:30 Dafne Gonzalez t
01:20:30 Chris Jones O.K. I finally got it! ;-)
01:20:38 Dafne Gonzalez great
01:20:39 Susanne Nyrop Blue blue
01:20:55 Susanne Nyrop At least this is functional :-)
01:21:13 Susanne Nyrop I took a screenshot
01:21:21 Chris Jones I guess you could also type in the color number if you knew it.
01:21:31 Dafne Gonzalez yes, I guess so
01:21:40 Susanne Nyrop Theoretically one could take a shot for the most important messages
01:21:59 Susanne Nyrop ccc
01:21:59 Chris Jones Yes, but the message screen is small.
01:22:10 Dafne Gonzalez for our chat we can have different font colors to recognize our messages
01:22:24 Dafne Gonzalez veryyyyyyy small
01:22:38 Susanne Nyrop It is very small, I can only read 13 lines at a time. I miss the pasteboard and the detaqch function from my tapestry
01:23:05 Dafne Gonzalez there is a parrot function
01:23:12 Dafne Gonzalez It is very small, I can only read 13 lines at a time. I miss the pasteboard and the detaqch function from my tapestry
01:23:12 Susanne Nyrop there is a parrot function
01:23:19 Chris Jones At least, you can scroll back to the beginning if you want.
01:23:19 Dafne Gonzalez lol
01:23:20 Susanne Nyrop Grins
01:23:34 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
01:23:36 Chris Jones What is a parrot function?
01:23:42 Dafne Gonzalez Grins
01:23:45 Dafne Gonzalez What is a parrot function?
01:24:03 Dafne Gonzalez click on a message and it will be copied
01:24:14 Chris Jones click on a message and it will be copied
01:24:19 Chris Jones Cool!
01:25:09 Dafne Gonzalez have you tried the poll on your right?
01:25:17 Susanne Nyrop it does not work for me
01:25:28 Susanne Nyrop The poll give me an error message
01:25:33 Dafne Gonzalez same here
01:25:45 Chris Jones I haven't tried the poll yet.
01:26:19 Dafne Gonzalez have you seen the cool tools section, Sus
01:26:38 Dafne Gonzalez I downloaded a crossword generator
01:26:44 Susanne Nyrop I also find that it is annoying that one cannot meet strangers spontaneously here in the chatroom - we miss a kind of reception or water cooler corner
01:27:02 Susanne Nyrop ALL cool tools are for Windows I am afraid.
01:27:06 Dafne Gonzalez yes, there should be a general chat room
01:27:38 Dafne Gonzalez like a cafe, or a bar
01:27:45 Susanne Nyrop We ought to tell them how much we miss that :-)
01:27:46 Dafne Gonzalez for informal conversations
01:28:01 Dafne Gonzalez yes :-))
01:28:56 Susanne Nyrop Well, anyway, now we do know that we can use many things here, and learn a lot about how to do - and how to make it better :-))
01:29:12 Dafne Gonzalez yes
01:29:18 Susanne Nyrop It is very fine to be testing as a team
01:29:34 Susanne Nyrop we lost Chris - did she say goodbye?
01:29:38 Dafne Gonzalez we are a great "exploring" team
01:29:51 Dafne Gonzalez I don't think so
01:30:04 Susanne Nyrop One gets into a certain kind of habit, wshen it comes to usability tesating :-)
01:30:31 Susanne Nyrop did you ever read Donald Norman?
01:30:56 Dafne Gonzalez no, I lost the paper when I got the virus in my desk top computer
01:31:08 Dafne Gonzalez I lost many papers
01:31:30 Dafne Gonzalez I am not using my backflip
01:31:39 Dafne Gonzalez shame on me :-((
01:32:19 Dafne Gonzalez many discussions are now open
01:32:24 Dafne Gonzalez including ours
01:32:48 Susanne Nyrop Yes, ours are open
01:33:35 Susanne Nyrop i stopped the backfilp and turned to iKeepBookmarks, for me they're easier to edit
01:33:46 Dafne Gonzalez I wonder if you go to another section you get out of the chat
01:33:51 Susanne Nyrop Too bad abolut losing papers
01:34:04 Chris Jones has joined the chat.
01:34:07 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
01:34:13 Dafne Gonzalez wb, Chris
01:34:19 Susanne Nyrop yes, I think you do get thrown off, unless you open a new page
01:34:29 Susanne Nyrop Chris, nice to see you again
01:34:29 Chris Jones Sorry, I voted in the poll and then couldn't get back into the chat.
01:34:40 Dafne Gonzalez I imagined that
01:34:53 Susanne Nyrop Girs
01:35:10 Dafne Gonzalez if you save our discussion in your schedule it is easy to come here from there
01:35:12 Chris Jones When I voted, I got a message that I had already voted and that 17 other people had voted.
01:35:28 Dafne Gonzalez did you get the results?
01:35:35 Susanne Nyrop Girls, I have a surprise : i have taken screenshots of this whole conversation, window by window
01:35:45 Chris Jones O.K. I'll try that next time.
01:35:47 Susanne Nyrop I still see that only one has taken that poll
01:35:57 Dafne Gonzalez but screenshots are very heavy files
01:36:08 Dafne Gonzalez me too, Sus
01:36:13 Chris Jones It showed up in a new window after I voted. Then I couldn't get back to the chat.
01:36:28 Susanne Nyrop Yes, I know, screenshots cannot be used for much
01:36:34 Dafne Gonzalez I am going to try
01:36:47 Chris Jones This window with the chat in the middle says only 1 person has voted so far.
01:36:49 Susanne Nyrop She left us
01:36:53 Dafne Gonzalez has joined the chat.
01:37:01 Susanne Nyrop She's back :-)
01:37:02 Dafne Gonzalez I am back
01:37:13 Dafne Gonzalez same error message
01:37:16 Susanne Nyrop Is it the same poll?
01:37:16 Chris Jones You were quick. What happened?
01:37:22 Dafne Gonzalez then click on the back button
01:37:37 Chris Jones My question is How often do you use live chats?
01:37:51 Susanne Nyrop same here
01:38:09 Dafne Gonzalez I voted for "daily" and it says there that my vote was "abstain"
01:38:12 Susanne Nyrop Did you vore for daily or weekly?
01:38:16 Chris Jones I'm using IE 6.0. Maybe that makes a difference.
01:38:17 Susanne Nyrop ROFL
01:38:19 Dafne Gonzalez then, below there is a message error
01:38:31 Chris Jones I voted for monthly.
01:38:41 Susanne Nyrop I'm using IE 5.0 that should be enough
01:38:56 Susanne Nyrop well, Daf and I are in the habit
01:38:56 Dafne Gonzalez how do I know which one I am using?
01:39:12 Chris Jones When I got bumped, I tried to get in using Netscape 4.74, and that didn't work at all.
01:39:14 Dafne Gonzalez now, my students contact me everyday
01:39:34 Susanne Nyrop They still do?
01:39:37 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
01:39:44 Susanne Nyrop you have created bonding
01:40:01 Susanne Nyrop and friendship
01:40:05 Dafne Gonzalez they call me to try new tools, and to ask questions
01:40:12 Dafne Gonzalez and just to say hello
01:40:22 Susanne Nyrop that's a wonderful follow of your engagement
01:40:23 Chris Jones At the top of your IE screen, look under Help/About Internet Explorer. However, it will take you to a different page and maybe out of chat.
01:40:25 Dafne Gonzalez they even give me reports about the political situation in my country
01:40:35 Susanne Nyrop Open a new window
01:41:12 Susanne Nyrop I often work in more winows to prevent from getting logeed off somewhere
01:41:36 Chris Jones I think it's great that Dafne's course is going so well using so many of the things we learned in webheads.
01:42:12 Susanne Nyrop Yes! That was a very helpful teamwork we developed during those eight weeks
01:42:37 Susanne Nyrop Learning by doing, just in time
01:42:42 Dafne Gonzalez I have version 5
01:42:54 Dafne Gonzalez We have a new message in our discussion board
01:42:55 Chris Jones I just opened a new window to the blogging. Have you tried it?
01:43:04 Susanne Nyrop That should be perfect, according to the intro file'
01:43:15 Susanne Nyrop Can you blog?
01:44:06 Chris Jones No to blogging. I just learned a little about it from webheads.
01:44:45 Dafne Gonzalez Sus, we have a reply to our messages on timezones
01:45:03 Susanne Nyrop But I asked bec ause I was not even able to get to this Blog site before. Now I see that it is open, but still not for entries
01:45:25 Susanne Nyrop I do have a blog somewhere else that i have not folloed up
01:45:42 Susanne Nyrop but this blog seem to be like the water cooler we were askfing for
01:45:57 Susanne Nyrop Yes, daf
01:46:24 Susanne Nyrop Who has sent a reply?
01:46:28 Chris Jones So far there are not entries.
01:46:34 Dafne Gonzalez Nancy White
01:46:51 Susanne Nyrop Nancy white!!! She's a legend!
01:46:54 Susanne Nyrop Cool
01:46:58 Dafne Gonzalez is she?
01:47:32 Dafne Gonzalez Those gaps of timezones can also make some folks feel left out of the rhythm of a group which is predominantly in a cluster of closer timezones. You can "miss" a conversation or feel it has passed you by, even in an asynchronous setting. Do you think that setting some ground rules around response times helps this, or just artificially stifles? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01:47:41 Dafne Gonzalez that's her message
01:47:46 Susanne Nyrop yes, very famous in the field (at leasdt I do remember her name from other places)
01:48:02 Susanne Nyrop A very good start of our discussion.
01:48:16 Susanne Nyrop I guess michael will be happy, too
01:48:21 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
01:48:41 Dafne Gonzalez what time is it now in Australia?
01:48:56 Susanne Nyrop Did you make rules for respond time, daf, in your architecture class?
01:49:00 Chris Jones I was off looking up Nancy's post.
01:49:21 Dafne Gonzalez no, I did not
01:49:25 Susanne Nyrop Well, I think it is 07:30 AEST
01:49:43 Dafne Gonzalez Michael is still sleeping
01:49:47 Susanne Nyrop Chris, what timezone do you have?
01:50:06 Susanne Nyrop We're working for him while he is asleep
01:50:06 Chris Jones I've felt left out of the Tapped In sessions as I just can't make it out of bed AND be coherent at 5 a.m. my time.
01:50:40 Dafne Gonzalez I would feel the same way
01:50:41 Chris Jones I'm on Arizona Standard Time, the same a Pacific Daylight Time.
01:50:49 Susanne Nyrop I can understand, Webheads Sunday class is for a diffeerent timezone that yours :-)
01:51:17 Susanne Nyrop I often feel very lost in Tapped In before i met webheads because most sessions were in the middle of MY night
01:51:32 Chris Jones Still I'd like to participate. That's why I did a lot the week of TESOL when everything was in my timezone.
01:52:04 Susanne Nyrop Then I guess you would not like to meet Michael and us here, tomorrow morning at 5 am?
01:52:17 Chris Jones Elizabeth H did a discussion in Tapped In at a very good time. That's the only practice I've had.
01:52:29 Dafne Gonzalez I am eagerly waiting for the next EVOnline sessions
01:52:46 Chris Jones 5 a.m. who's time? and are you talking about Monday or Tuesday? It's Sunday here.
01:52:54 Susanne Nyrop You can easily find relevant sessions in tapped In to join, in Arizona-friendly hours
01:52:55 Dafne Gonzalez a little bit disappointed because Vance will not be the moderator
01:53:17 Chris Jones Suzanne, that's true, but I just haven't taken the time.
01:53:27 Susanne Nyrop WE decided to make a nother try tomorrow, at 12 GMT
01:53:28 Dafne Gonzalez it is still Sunday here
01:53:48 Dafne Gonzalez Michael has to follow the forum discussion
01:54:16 Chris Jones Monday is a crazy day for me. My first class is at 10:50 a.m., and my last one ends at 9:30.
01:54:31 Susanne Nyrop Daf, Michael is in his Aussie environment
01:54:45 Susanne Nyrop well, Chris, now you made it, with us today
01:55:02 Dafne Gonzalez Sus, your name is not under who's here
01:55:16 Susanne Nyrop Did I disappear, how weird
01:55:23 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
01:55:30 Chris Jones Neither of your names show under Who's Here.
01:55:46 Chris Jones I think it's because we're in chat.
01:55:48 Dafne Gonzalez I see mine and Chris
01:55:59 Susanne Nyrop Hm. I think they're still having a few bugs around
01:56:26 Susanne Nyrop I see you two,plsu cath, mary, Noel & Virginia
01:56:53 Dafne Gonzalez I have Ian Phillips and Chris Alexander
01:57:05 Susanne Nyrop And, i wonder who THey are
01:57:14 Chris Jones I've got 2 windows open. They show different names. I think the Who's here doesn't Refresh on its own.
01:57:20 Susanne Nyrop Incredible, so this is not very reliable
01:57:34 Chris Jones I have the same as Dafne.
01:57:46 Susanne Nyrop interesting theory, Chris
01:57:47 Dafne Gonzalez that's weird
01:58:05 Susanne Nyrop has joined the chat.
01:58:18 Chris Jones When I got bumped out of chat, I tried to send youboth a live message, and it came back that you weren't available.
01:58:27 Susanne Nyrop I updated, and lost my chat
01:58:35 Dafne Gonzalez I got it after you had joined us
01:58:54 Dafne Gonzalez how do you update?
01:58:57 Chris Jones That's good. I thought it just bounced back to me.
01:59:18 Dafne Gonzalez but messages take a while
01:59:30 Susanne Nyrop By now i see peter holloman, Robby W, Maryanne R, Jan Whitaker, and chris (but No Daf)
01:59:53 Dafne Gonzalez how do you update?
01:59:58 Susanne Nyrop In my button bar of the IE browser, here is an update function
02:00:15 Dafne Gonzalez I thought it was here
02:00:29 Susanne Nyrop I thought you did
02:00:30 Chris Jones I have only Robby, Vivian, and Maryann.
02:00:30 Dafne Gonzalez has joined the chat.
02:00:39 Dafne Gonzalez did the same
02:01:04 Dafne Gonzalez now I have a bunch of people there
02:01:07 Susanne Nyrop Well, by now i got enough, it is close to Danish midnight
02:01:09 Dafne Gonzalez Sus included
02:01:15 Susanne Nyrop You do?
02:01:21 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
02:01:35 Susanne Nyrop They should have some bug report mailbox somewhere
02:02:05 Dafne Gonzalez maybe on the home page
02:02:14 Susanne Nyrop :hugs you goog
02:02:15 Chris Jones Maybe you could just report it to Support Services.
02:02:20 Susanne Nyrop dnight
02:02:26 Dafne Gonzalez I got to go too
02:02:26 Susanne Nyrop Goodnite :-)

02:23:30 Michael Coghlan It's a lousy chat space I must say
02:23:40 Vance Stevens so is this where we discourse on Wed?
02:23:51 Vance Stevens pretty poor
02:23:51 Dafne Gonzalez hi Vance
02:23:53 Michael Coghlan But you can eject folks!

02:32:37 Dafne Gonzalez I just got a message from David Cillay
02:33:04 Susanne Nyrop I simply got distracted by personal matters so I had no time to login at noon GMT
02:33:07 Dafne Gonzalez I have been coming in and out
02:33:19 Dafne Gonzalez I found Michael and VAnce
02:33:20 Susanne Nyrop David who? :-)
02:33:39 Dafne Gonzalez Cillay from the building communities event
02:33:53 Dafne Gonzalez you posted a message last night to that discussion board
02:34:13 Susanne Nyrop I cannot get to have more than one window open...
02:34:26 Susanne Nyrop but I found a way to save our chat !!!
02:34:35 Dafne Gonzalez really?
02:34:42 Susanne Nyrop Oh yes, now I know who he is
02:34:50 Dafne Gonzalez did you get the message they sent about the chat
02:34:56 Susanne Nyrop You wanna know how ?
02:34:59 Susanne Nyrop You wanna know how ?
02:35:03 Dafne Gonzalez tell me
02:35:09 Susanne Nyrop Oh yes, now I know who he is
02:35:31 Dafne Gonzalez tell me
02:35:35 Susanne Nyrop I set my presf somewhere 8but where?)( to HTML chat instead of Java
02:35:36 Dafne Gonzalez tell me
02:35:52 Dafne Gonzalez in your profile
02:35:59 Susanne Nyrop My preferences in WebCrossing I mean :-))
02:36:22 Susanne Nyrop Then I can select all and paste it into another text document
02:36:32 Dafne Gonzalez great!
02:36:46 Dafne Gonzalez Michael will love that
02:36:55 Susanne Nyrop I miss a lot of navigation facilities here :-(
02:37:17 Dafne Gonzalez they also sent a messaage saying that if you tell them they will send you the chats after the event
02:37:33 Susanne Nyrop Yes, I think we all love to read the log afterwards
02:37:33 Dafne Gonzalez on a webpage
02:37:51 Dafne Gonzalez yes, TI has gotten us used to that
02:38:00 Susanne Nyrop Oh, they do ? I waqs not aware of that
02:38:02 Susanne Nyrop Oh, they do ? I waqs not aware of that
02:38:07 Susanne Nyrop Oh, they do ? I waqs not aware of that
02:38:14 Susanne Nyrop HM...
02:38:18 Dafne Gonzalez I got an email this morning about that
02:38:33 Susanne Nyrop The update rate is slow
02:38:50 Susanne Nyrop I get lost in all my emails from here :-(
02:38:57 Dafne Gonzalez yeap. I also saw Ismail this morning
02:40:00 Dafne Gonzalez This morning I was contacted by a woman, Emma something, who was trying to meet people
02:40:42 Susanne Nyrop I would love to make a deceription for the blog abnout how to navigate and to make the community fveeling active - but the blog system seem not working yet,
02:40:57 Dafne Gonzalez and coincidentially she is involved in online assessment and training. We shared some mails about our work
02:41:06 Dafne Gonzalez nno, the blog is not ready yet
02:41:06 Susanne Nyrop Oh, and did you get into some kind of dialogue?
02:41:24 Dafne Gonzalez yes, with the mail system here
02:41:37 Dafne Gonzalez we shared four of five emails
02:41:43 Susanne Nyrop Good that we do have multiple strategies to get involved
02:41:56 Dafne Gonzalez I have them saved but I do not know how to download them
02:42:19 Susanne Nyrop Can you have more than one window open without logging in again?
02:42:31 Dafne Gonzalez no
02:43:06 Susanne Nyrop Oh, do we have in internal email here - why did I not see that feature yet :-)
02:43:17 Dafne Gonzalez I am amazed at the number of people who have never chatted
02:43:40 Dafne Gonzalez well, is the instant messenger
02:43:52 Susanne Nyrop When I am chatting in this html format I see nothing else, no message box, no participant list . It is very primitive
02:44:13 Dafne Gonzalez oh
02:44:17 Dafne Gonzalez :-(
02:45:01 Dafne Gonzalez What is most amazing is the number of people who disregard chats
02:45:50 Susanne Nyrop If the chatrooms those people have tried are as bad as this one, I minght understand why they have not yet seen the light :-)
02:46:01 Dafne Gonzalez lol
02:46:31 Dafne Gonzalez I was at the poll discussion board and was reading the messages there
02:46:41 Susanne Nyrop Our glocal chat culture is something unusual, a new cultural and communicative literacy
02:46:57 Susanne Nyrop Yes, so were I :-))
02:47:13 Dafne Gonzalez I imagined so?
02:47:24 Dafne Gonzalez sorry it was not a question
02:48:42 Susanne Nyrop Daf - did you meet some of us today at noon GMT as we decided to od? I was unable to come.
02:48:58 Dafne Gonzalez yes, I met Michael and VAnce
02:49:13 Dafne Gonzalez only for a couple of minutes, though
02:49:54 Dafne Gonzalez Vance's connection was slow and he had to go eat with his family and Michael was also busy
02:50:23 Dafne Gonzalez Then I saw Ismail online and sent him a message
02:50:24 Susanne Nyrop One very interesting feature here, with all those many discussions, is that you can see each person's contributions in their profile!
02:50:47 Susanne Nyrop O, good ! Ismael was here, too
02:50:49 Dafne Gonzalez really
02:51:09 Dafne Gonzalez yes, he was recognizing the site
02:51:49 Susanne Nyrop The links to people's contributions across discussions give me some new perspectives and mind tracks
02:51:51 Dafne Gonzalez you know, after reading many messages, I feel that we know so much about web tools and communities
02:52:43 Susanne Nyrop What I miss is a kind of general access to my basic and favorite links here.
02:53:19 Dafne Gonzalez yes, that is also what our blogger said today
02:53:19 Susanne Nyrop We SURE do! This is an ennormous opportunity to make some kind of comparative
02:53:31 Dafne Gonzalez and we have learned with practice
02:53:39 Susanne Nyrop Our blogger? Which one?
02:53:49 Dafne Gonzalez the guy with long hair
02:54:00 Dafne Gonzalez I do not remember his name
02:54:12 Dafne Gonzalez he is writing blogs about the conference
02:54:50 Dafne Gonzalez everyday my admiration for Vance grows
02:55:22 Dafne Gonzalez he is such a leader
02:55:33 Susanne Nyrop We're learning together and sharing our experiences. Herer as anywhere else we go together. That's a kind of community across the community environments, proving taht it is possible to bring in your previous experuiences into another environment
02:56:40 Susanne Nyrop Oh, his name is Stephen Downes or something like that...
02:56:42 Susanne Nyrop Oh, his name is Stephen Downes or something like that...
02:56:44 Susanne Nyrop Oh, his name is Stephen Downes or something like that...
02:56:47 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
02:56:49 Susanne Nyrop Oh, his name is Stephen Downes or something like that...
02:56:50 Susanne Nyrop Oh, his name is Stephen Downes or something like that...
02:57:04 Susanne Nyrop We're learning together and sharing our experiences. Herer as anywhere else we go together. That's a kind of community across the community environments, proving taht it is possible to bring in your previous experuiences into another thiingsonment
02:57:28 Susanne Nyrop HRMPH
02:57:50 Susanne Nyrop Yes, Vance is a natural born leader and a good friend, too
02:58:16 Susanne Nyrop (sorry for the unwanted parrot effect)
02:58:20 Dafne Gonzalez lol
02:58:59 Dafne Gonzalez you know in the cool tools there is one to put a chat on your web page
02:59:41 Susanne Nyrop Yes - did you check it out?
02:59:57 Dafne Gonzalez I just saw the sample they have there
03:00:14 Dafne Gonzalez but I will try it out on my web page
03:00:20 Susanne Nyrop I guess that those cool tools are really your way of getting around ...
03:00:21 Susanne Nyrop I guess that those cool tools are really your way of getting around ...
03:00:43 Susanne Nyrop But they look mostly all to be Windows related
03:00:55 Dafne Gonzalez many interesting stuff, but I need to have time to check them out
03:02:19 Dafne Gonzalez There are so many things going on here, that I feel like at the TESOL conventions
03:02:43 Susanne Nyrop I logged in noce more, and do have another window open besides the chat, without being logged off from here!!!
03:02:53 Dafne Gonzalez but instead of walking from one side to the other, I just click form one event to the other
03:03:11 Dafne Gonzalez using a new window?
03:03:15 Susanne Nyrop There is many ways to get involved , and to get lost, too
03:03:35 Susanne Nyrop yes, having two windows open, with two logins
03:03:55 Susanne Nyrop Great progress!
03:04:04 Dafne Gonzalez but your name appears only once
03:04:27 Susanne Nyrop I think a lot of people are browsing
03:04:48 Susanne Nyrop very good, no second identity :-)
03:04:49 Dafne Gonzalez yeap
03:05:09 Susanne Nyrop I wonder why they have not made room for many participants in the who's here
03:05:15 Dafne Gonzalez have you found something worth to comment?
03:05:28 Dafne Gonzalez yes, that's another mistery
03:05:45 Dafne Gonzalez I mean in the messages
03:06:13 Dafne Gonzalez 2 has joined the chat.
03:06:18 Susanne Nyrop Today I saw that 56 persons were online. But only aboyut ten names showning, plus a link to the alphabetical list of people
03:06:42 Dafne Gonzalez yes, this morning there were 98
03:07:03 Susanne Nyrop You can see my contributions if you click on my icon in the messenger (I think?)
03:07:39 Dafne Gonzalez no, I have to click on more and then look for your name
03:07:59 Susanne Nyrop I will need to wirte a brief personal intro - many people do have it, but most forget all about it, or are not aware of the idea of a profile
03:08:20 Dafne Gonzalez 2 I did not write anything on mine. I was in a hurry
03:08:28 Susanne Nyrop Hm - but do you get it, then?
03:08:36 Dafne Gonzalez 2 yes
03:08:49 Susanne Nyrop I can follow your contributions, or at least the latest ones
03:09:41 Dafne Gonzalez 2 yes, I am looking at yours
03:10:02 Dafne Gonzalez 2 I also opened another window but without logging twice
03:10:38 Susanne Nyrop You have eight mesasgesin your postings list (I clicked on your name in a discussion :-)
03:10:42 Dafne Gonzalez 2 you have posted 6 contributions
03:10:57 Dafne Gonzalez 2 lol
03:11:04 Susanne Nyrop But you do not have the HTML chat, do you?
03:11:09 Dafne Gonzalez 2 no
03:11:24 Dafne Gonzalez 2 I have the default one
03:11:30 Susanne Nyrop That may be why it is possble for you to have more windows open
03:11:33 Dafne Gonzalez 2 because I did not check any preference
03:12:06 Dafne Gonzalez 2 maybe that is the reason
03:12:17 Susanne Nyrop default is the Java applet that cannot be saved,
03:12:33 Dafne Gonzalez 2 you know, in your profile it says that you are not online
03:12:56 Dafne Gonzalez 2 another mistery
03:13:41 Dafne Gonzalez 2 David Cillay posted another questions on his discussion board
03:13:44 Susanne Nyrop NOw I saved our chat before some possible breakdown of system :-))
03:14:05 Dafne Gonzalez 2 great, you will document the experience
03:14:13 Susanne Nyrop I saw his summing up and question
03:14:37 Dafne Gonzalez 2 did you hear his "shaking hands" voice message?
03:15:08 Susanne Nyrop IK was a little worried about the idea of asking new students to "Share the thee most embarassing moments in their lives".
03:15:32 Susanne Nyrop NO - all thois voice and video things are not working on my silly Mac
03:16:22 Susanne Nyrop I do not make a lot of experiments about it because i have no patience to manage these problems alone
03:16:50 Susanne Nyrop It is too damp
03:17:24 Dafne Gonzalez 2 talking about dampness have you had rain there?
03:17:38 Susanne Nyrop Tomorrow i will be offline, we're going to a funeral far out in the ocuntry
03:17:54 Susanne Nyrop No rain for many days
03:18:25 Susanne Nyrop No clouds or wind, just sun and damp heat
03:18:34 Dafne Gonzalez 2 like here
03:18:52 Dafne Gonzalez 2 Today I picked up my ticket to fly to Paris
03:21:02 Susanne Nyrop Oh, I suddenly realize that Michael's discussion is taking shape, Id better read it and say something, too :-))
03:22:18 Dafne Gonzalez 2 many people have contributed
03:22:52 Dafne Gonzalez 2 do you realize that you are talking to Dafne Gonzalez 2?
03:23:21 Susanne Nyrop >Your holiday sounds very well planned
03:23:33 Dafne Gonzalez 2 well it is a circuit
03:23:42 Susanne Nyrop Yes, dafne 2, I just saw that!!!
03:23:42 Dafne Gonzalez 2 a package
03:23:55 Susanne Nyrop Myst
03:24:11 Dafne Gonzalez 2 everything included
03:25:34 Susanne Nyrop I am disappointed now. I THOUGHT I had saved our chat - but only a small part of it works. the rest is silence
03:25:57 Susanne Nyrop Cries
03:26:24 Susanne Nyrop We should meet in Tapped >IN next time.
03:26:56 Dafne Gonzalez 2 yes
03:26:57 Susanne Nyrop I actually thought this as a kind of experience
03:27:22 Susanne Nyrop so a chatlog would have been worth a lot.
03:27:33 Dafne Gonzalez 2 to be here and TI at the same time, I have to come here first
03:27:50 Dafne Gonzalez 2 open a new window and get to TI
03:28:29 Susanne Nyrop Well, if I should read and react to our own discussion, i'd better leave this chat now
03:28:38 Dafne Gonzalez 2 if i do the other way around I get disconnected
03:28:43 Susanne Nyrop OK, let us see if we can do it
03:28:51 Dafne Gonzalez 2 well, talk to you tomorrow
03:29:01 Dafne Gonzalez 2 nice chat

03:56:35 Dafne Gonzalez I am wondering about Aiden
03:58:06 Dafne Gonzalez Rita are you there?
03:58:13 Rita Zeinstejer maybe Aiden is multitasking
03:58:30 Rita Zeinstejer so lets find out the difference for the 2nd chat, Daf, which somewhere is said to start before the time we thought..
03:58:43 Dafne Gonzalez Aiden is here in yahoo
03:59:04 Dafne Gonzalez but she writes messages and we do not see her
03:59:28 Rita Zeinstejer how do you know she's writing?
03:59:42 Dafne Gonzalez she told me
03:59:50 Dafne Gonzalez we are in yahoo messenger
04:00:11 Dafne Gonzalez she is going to leave and re-enter again
04:00:34 Rita Zeinstejer i see
04:01:03 Aiden Yeh 4 has joined the chat.
04:01:31 Dafne Gonzalez now, she is Aiden 4
04:03:10 Rita Zeinstejer are you in contact with aiden, Daf?
04:03:36 Dafne Gonzalez yes
04:03:44 Dafne Gonzalez we are trying to solve theproblem
04:03:48 Rita Zeinstejer problem?
04:04:00 Dafne Gonzalez yes, she writes and we do not see her
04:04:25 Dafne Gonzalez now she is going to log out of the conference and login again
04:04:28 Rita Zeinstejer maybe she's behind a firewall?
04:04:54 Dafne Gonzalez there are some bugs in this platform
04:05:15 Dafne Gonzalez i have lost the links to some events I had in my schedule
04:05:21 Dafne Gonzalez then they come back again
04:05:39 Dafne Gonzalez some features are not very stable
04:05:57 Rita Zeinstejer yesterday i got a strange popup with an invitation "to see a pix"
04:06:11 Dafne Gonzalez did you?
04:06:15 Rita Zeinstejer yeap
04:06:23 Rita Zeinstejer looked like porn
04:06:25 Dafne Gonzalez did you acceopt?
04:06:30 Rita Zeinstejer NO!
04:06:33 Dafne Gonzalez lol
04:07:08 Dafne Gonzalez Our event has had many participants
04:07:18 Rita Zeinstejer (it was intellectual time...;-))
04:07:33 Rita Zeinstejer yes, do they pay?
04:07:51 Dafne Gonzalez they have to pay to attend the conference
04:08:15 Rita Zeinstejer and then they might double use it...
04:08:37 Dafne Gonzalez what do you mean?
04:08:53 Rita Zeinstejer those sending porn popups...;-)
04:09:10 Dafne Gonzalez oh, I was talking about attending the conference
04:09:11 Dafne Gonzalez lol
04:09:15 Rita Zeinstejer soooooorry!
04:09:31 Dafne Gonzalez those pop ups are hackers
04:09:45 Aiden Yeh 5 has joined the chat.

04:10:43 Dafne Gonzalez one is not enough
04:10:57 Dafne Gonzalez the poor kid cannot communicate with us
04:11:08 Dafne Gonzalez she might be in another dimension
04:11:11 Rita Zeinstejer problem if she cant make it, might not make it tomorrow!
04:11:41 Dafne Gonzalez she is able to send messages, we knnow that
04:11:52 Rita Zeinstejer yeah
04:12:08 Dafne Gonzalez Aiden what if you change your chat preference to HTML
04:12:12 Dafne Gonzalez on your profile page

04:16:35 Dafne Gonzalez small window
04:17:03 Dafne Gonzalez I do not know how it would be like if we have many people in here
04:17:05 Aiden Yeh i've gotten used to TI, that I think it's rather primitive
04:17:46 Dafne Gonzalez Sus and I were here last night and then we moved to TI
04:17:49 Aiden Yeh i agree
04:18:10 Dafne Gonzalez Michael has not showed up today, has he?
04:18:21 Dafne Gonzalez I mean he has not posted anything today
04:18:57 Aiden Yeh oh, no, what about tomorrow
04:19:11 Aiden Yeh are we allowed to use TI as backup
04:19:21 Dafne Gonzalez I do not think so
04:19:48 Aiden Yeh i've been here on and off since this morning, nope i haven't seen Micahel
04:20:15 Dafne Gonzalez last night I decided to go into the cultural issue in our event, to get the ball rolling
04:20:43 Aiden Yeh i think, if we';ll have more than 15, then it wuold be chaotic
04:21:01 Dafne Gonzalez and you have written very good comments
04:21:33 Dafne Gonzalez I am attending a couple of other events
04:21:34 Aiden Yeh yes, i saw and responded to your posting

05:44:28 Michael Coghlan Jane or Marita - here's your chance!
05:44:32 Jane Anderson Oooh, what would be your 3 to 5 top tips be for online learning in culturally diverse context?
05:44:40 Susanne Nyrop has joined the chat.
05:44:42 Michele Lamont-Smith but i would love anyone to expand on how online allows indiviuals to be just that & has no race distinction
05:44:51 Susanne Nyrop Vance is with us, too!

05:46:19 Aiden Yeh has joined the chat.
05:46:19 Ismail Fayed Hello Vance, nice to see u around :)
05:46:40 Dafne Gonzalez welcome Aiden
05:46:41 Rita Zeinstejer hi, Aiden, welcome!
05:46:47 Marita Quaglio I'm a bit interested in conflict and how to deal with that. especially if it is accentuated by cultural or linguistic misunderstandingse really practical examples
05:46:47 Aiden Yeh Hello
05:46:52 Susanne Nyrop Well - race distinctions - did we ever cross that matter
05:46:58 Vance Stevens I'm in Pushkar not far from Jaipur
05:47:09 Michael Coghlan OK - I'll speak for V - Vance argues that people online actually can lose theor culture ....
05:47:54 Michael Coghlan ..because they can't be seen or identified as par tof a culture
05:47:58 Ismail Fayed This is one of the best merits of the word "ONLINE", Michael.. To be on the same track with others with no limist, Distinctions, or whatsoever..
05:48:16 Vance Stevens in previous discussions we could not pinpoint conflict on the internet otehr than that which might occur in F2f context
05:48:20 Michael Coghlan Do you feel free of culture online Ismail?
05:48:34 Susanne Nyrop
05:48:48 Michael Coghlan :smiles at Susanne
05:49:08 Michele Lamont-Smith do we need to get that specific? lol
05:49:19 Michele Lamont-Smith about the wrinkles, anyway
05:49:22 Michael Coghlan Only the Danes among us!
05:49:23 Dafne Gonzalez I have never found cultural differences as obstacles
05:49:39 Vance Stevens except that online allows people to SHARE cultures and enhance distinctions by pointing out URLs for example as ways of generating INTEREST in cultural differences
05:49:53 Dafne Gonzalez they enrich our experiences
05:50:17 Michele Lamont-Smith and they may use their own website, photoes to do that as well
05:50:21 Rita Zeinstejer I guess that as online communic is based on written lang, we should avoid the use of qualifiers, lang with ethnic connotations, be aware of possible misunderstandings...
05:50:21 Susanne Nyrop One question we have touche in our discussions before this sessiond was some kind of different ideas of what is fun
05:50:39 Michael Coghlan One of the contributors to mour discussion boards says if you son't live in a country you have no idea about that culture
05:51:07 Jane Anderson can I return to religious preferences pls?
05:51:09 Ismail Fayed .
05:51:12 Susanne Nyrop black humor can sometimnes be hard to tell from bad manners in case you're not a native speaker
05:51:19 Susanne Nyrop jane, go ahead
05:51:20 Peter Hillery 2 has joined the chat.
05:51:30 Dafne Gonzalez Hi Peter
05:51:32 Susanne Nyrop WElcome, peter
05:51:40 Rita Zeinstejer hi, Peter
05:51:52 Peter Hillery 2 Hi everyone - sorry I'm late - I've been to rehearsal
05:51:57 Shunichiro Ito When my students talked to Vance, James, Dan Bilitz, they were not aware of the teachers' nationality of race.
05:52:03 Susanne Nyrop jane just asked about religious preferences - can you elaborate?
05:52:03 Vance Stevens that's where online CC can assist, by allowing people from one country to pinoint urls that will help another understand the culture there
05:52:10 Dafne Gonzalez I think that even humor varies within individuals of the same culture
05:52:22 Michael Coghlan Exactly Dafne
05:52:37 Dafne Gonzalez so it should not be stereotyped
05:52:44 Michele Lamont-Smith so would you say for us to be careful using jokes online?
05:52:47 Shunichiro Ito Tokyo culture vs Osaka culture.
05:52:47 Ismail Fayed I dont think so Michel, I admit that it is important, but not vital.
05:53:12 Jane Anderson thanks, suzanne you mentioned 'no religious preferences' which is how I identified before I lived in a culture with a different mainstream religion which then showed me I did have a religious preference
05:53:33 Susanne Nyrop Yes, Daf, I agree; my husband's do not think I always laugh at the right situations
05:53:40 Shunichiro Ito Jokes and idioms do not transcend cultural distinctions. Cannot be understood without prior training.
05:54:04 Michael Coghlan How is this religious preferences issue played out online?
05:54:48 Michele Lamont-Smith I don't understand this ques tion Michael
05:55:05 Jane Anderson and plays on words are extremely problematic (that;'s for humour, not religion)
05:55:15 Dafne Gonzalez I usually do not touch religious matters with my online buddies
05:55:15 Vance Stevens true that jokes do not transcend cultures but this is an aspect of all cc communication not just online cc communication
05:55:15 Rita Zeinstejer my stds never laugh at good english puns!
05:55:25 Michael Coghlan I guess I was asking Michelle for examples of how religious preferences may be an issue in online communnication
05:55:43 Michael Coghlan Sorry - asking Jane!
05:56:20 Aiden Yeh it's probably lingustic differences, Rita
05:56:28 Ismail Fayed I dont think so Michel, I admit that it is important, but not vital.
05:56:45 Vance Stevens if you WANT to make a religious or humor point it's possible that online CC can be an asset as it removes paralinguistic elements and you can use the environment to do internet searches, get s's to develop webpages making points ...
05:56:54 Susanne Nyrop WEll, Jane, that is interesting. Let's say, when I visit a country with a strong muslim tradition, I become more aware of my locally biased, non-active Christianity.
05:56:59 Linley Joomjaroen has joined the chat.
05:57:03 Jane Anderson I think I picked up on this - I'm asking how could we online when the signals are multiple and subtle
05:57:19 Michael Coghlan let me introduce a friend and colleague - Linley!
05:57:27 Michael Coghlan Welcome Linley!
05:57:49 Linley Joomjaroen Hi everyone - let me watch while I catch the threads of the conversation, please!
05:57:53 Rita Zeinstejer hi, Linley
05:57:59 Vance Stevens (waves to Linley)
05:58:02 Dafne Gonzalez I have never asked any members of the Webheads community about their religious preferences.
05:58:07 Aiden Yeh if you continously argue that your religion or the religion that you believe in is the only true religion then, this could be a problematic issue
05:58:24 Michael Coghlan Yes - just as is in classrooms
05:58:37 Susanne Nyrop I have a friend who often mail some silly little jokes about catholic everyday matters, and often I do not find peculiar or funny worth laughing
05:59:06 Dafne Gonzalez religions or races do not matter if we have other objectives in mind
05:59:11 Peter Hillery 2 Hi Linley - I've only just arrived and am picking up the threads also
05:59:20 Michele Lamont-Smith Changing the subject a bit - Am I correct that you are all based in your home countries at the moment?
05:59:23 Susanne Nyrop Dafne, this is fun. We oftren get into new directions in our discussions her, instead of having a strict agenda
05:59:24 Jane Anderson Exactly, Susanne, and religion is one example, so in the online context what are some of the ways to be aware?
05:59:31 Rita Zeinstejer you find them silly, Sus, others may feel them offensive...
05:59:33 Ismail Fayed .
05:59:34 Vance Stevens here again, this can be annoying in an oline or offline context
05:59:39 Aiden Yeh there was one posted message about this, did any of you read it?
06:00:06 Vance Stevens how does ccc add to or detract from the issue?
06:00:20 Michael Coghlan Yes V - We seem to be identifying issues that can be problematic in cross cultural communication. The central questioin is.......
06:00:31 Michael Coghlan how are things made worse or better online?
06:00:41 Jane Anderson Michele, I am based in my home country although born in another and have lived in 3 others
06:00:53 Ismail Fayed I agree with u Rita
06:01:17 Rita Zeinstejer online I think we are more aware..., should be!
06:01:31 Vance Stevens (is not based in his home country)
06:01:31 Michele Lamont-Smith Thanks Jane, It is very exciting to know we are all so far apart...in distance
06:01:44 Michael Coghlan Yes ...and we do that how Rita?
06:01:45 Michele Lamont-Smith sorry back to the topic..
06:01:57 Dafne Gonzalez not based in her home country
06:02:05 Rita Zeinstejer being aware, Michael?
06:02:09 Marita Quaglio I think things can be made worse if you cannot hear a persons voice and the smile in it. I seem to have read something somewhere about smiles being a universal signal
06:02:23 Linley Joomjaroen I wonder whether we use our imagination successfully when we communicate online.
06:02:23 Dafne Gonzalez grins
06:02:29 Michael Coghlan :)
06:02:37 Susanne Nyrop Marita, is that why the emotes are sdo popular :-))
06:02:40 Vance Stevens has anyone here had an online ccc problem?
06:02:48 Michele Lamont-Smith I find I learn alot more about my students online than F2F
06:02:57 Dafne Gonzalez not me, Vance
06:03:03 Marita Quaglio Home country? Yes, now, but I was not born in Australia
06:03:06 Linley Joomjaroen because you are more explicit, M?
06:03:09 Dafne Gonzalez Ii agree with Michele
06:03:17 Vance Stevens I mean one particular to the online context
06:03:19 Dafne Gonzalez and in less time
06:03:33 Rita Zeinstejer (problems I think are more with ourselves, in feeling pressed to do the right thing all the time)
06:03:38 Michael Coghlan Shun - if I make speak for here - has some experience with CCC problems online.
06:03:39 Michele Lamont-Smith people seem to tell you more about themselves
06:03:44 Susanne Nyrop Linley, I think that depends on the character of the online communication,just like offline. I know a lot of ways to perform imagination in our online life
06:04:03 Jane Anderson we've had local community problems with online - I think because its text and can't be taken back
06:04:07 Dafne Gonzalez right, Michele
06:04:33 Michele Lamont-Smith Susanne perform imagination?
06:04:36 Marita Quaglio I guess so Susanne. It's a new language isn't it. I know about the :-) but I have learnt about the other signs like (smiles at Susanne) I like that
06:04:40 Linley Joomjaroen Sounds like fun, S!
06:04:43 Vance Stevens in my experience, ours if I speak for webheads, I would say in the several years we have met our cc awareness has been enhanced, rarely misunderstood
06:04:50 Susanne Nyrop Yes, Jane - text is different from speech but mikght also open for a better understanding of matters if you tend to read back!
06:05:04 Dafne Gonzalez agrees with Vance
06:05:09 Rita Zeinstejer i agree with Vance
06:05:26 Michael Coghlan I agree - my experience in webheads is all about harmony not discord.
06:05:38 Dafne Gonzalez learning and sharing
06:05:38 Susanne Nyrop :junmps up and down with a tea try to ask if you need a drink?
06:06:04 Linley Joomjaroen yes, please!
06:06:04 Susanne Nyrop :hands Michael hias guitar so he can sing us a tune
06:06:04 Dafne Gonzalez drinks some iced-coffee to cope with the heat
06:06:16 Susanne Nyrop :rolls up her sleeves
06:06:25 Linley Joomjaroen snuggles under a blanket to stay warm!
06:06:34 Michele Lamont-Smith thanks Michael & webheads. I have to go, it has been fun
06:06:36 Dafne Gonzalez lol
06:06:44 Susanne Nyrop wipes the swweat off her front
06:06:45 Vance Stevens reading above, it seems that the speed of online cc, the fact that it can't be taken back once easily sent ... this is a problem?
06:06:47 Michael Coghlan Thanks for coming Michelle
06:06:47 Susanne Nyrop Bye, Michele
06:06:48 Peter Hillery 2 I'll have a cup - all this listening is thirsty work!
06:06:50 Marita Quaglio I'm liking this more and more !
06:06:55 Susanne Nyrop The chat can be found later in our home area
06:07:01 Dafne Gonzalez Waves bye to Michele
06:07:05 Jane Anderson sinks into seat listening .... and learning
06:07:10 Rita Zeinstejer (Webheads spirit present!)
06:07:25 Susanne Nyrop Marita, did these small interrupstions make you feel better?
06:07:27 Ismail Fayed has joined the chat.
06:07:35 Dafne Gonzalez wb, Ismail
06:07:36 Susanne Nyrop Welcome back Ismael
06:07:48 Marita Quaglio But my typing and reading speeds needs improving
06:07:58 Susanne Nyrop We allow ourselves to play a little
06:07:58 Dafne Gonzalez it comes with practice, Marita
06:08:12 Rita Zeinstejer why, Marita, its not any worse than mine...
06:08:12 Dafne Gonzalez as everything in life
06:08:19 Shunichiro Ito Looks at so much words in the chat window with jet-lag blurred mind.
06:08:26 Ismail Fayed I am not sure if I am using this chat in a proper way, but I am still exploring it ;)
06:08:26 Michael Coghlan :)
06:08:38 Susanne Nyrop I type small messages as fast as I think (almost) - and i often just submiot them without thinking deeper
06:08:39 Dafne Gonzalez way to go Ismail
06:08:53 Michael Coghlan Peter - you're very quiet. Any comments or questions?
06:08:55 Marita Quaglio I'm feeling good thanks and ther's a beutiful big full moon outside my window
06:09:11 Susanne Nyrop Oh yes, shun, this chat window is far too small and the scroll fiunction is not good
06:09:19 Ismail Fayed thanks, daf
06:09:23 Dafne Gonzalez loves full moon
06:09:34 Jane Anderson its much quicker than I expected somehow -
06:09:41 Michael Coghlan OK - back to the topic people.....
06:09:44 Susanne Nyrop even often forget to proof read for typos
06:09:53 Peter Hillery 2 Michael - I'm just enjoying being a lurker for a change - mostly in chats Im the facilitator - I'm enjoying the role change
06:09:53 Susanne Nyrop back to serious!
06:09:53 Michael Coghlan do any webheads have a q thwey would like to pose?
06:09:55 Dafne Gonzalez listens attentively to Michael
06:10:00 Vance Stevens I think also if there are conflicts online they can be more easily resolved online than if they happened offline ... any opinion on that?
06:10:19 Michael Coghlan Wow - quite a statement
06:10:36 Dafne Gonzalez yes, Vance, especially if you are using synchronous modes
06:10:49 Rita Zeinstejer maybe we are more ready to?
06:10:59 Dafne Gonzalez because you can negotiate meanings immediately
06:11:06 Susanne Nyrop Vance, I hope you're right on that. But I do wonder if some people might sometimes just stay away or silent if they feel hurt in an onloine session
06:11:18 Ismail Fayed Wow, this is nice, because we still have a shining sun over here :)
06:11:29 Michael Coghlan That's what I iamgine Susanne
06:11:42 Susanne Nyrop But still I feel that it is how it usually works, by negociating for a kind of consensus
06:11:53 Marita Quaglio about conflict, I was thinking of the last paper I read on the topic of ccc where there were some examples. It seemed to take a lot of communications to sort them out but it did happen in the end
06:12:00 Vance Stevens some here appear to have had problems with perhaps immature participants being a little quick on the draw
06:12:00 Linley Joomjaroen perhaps becuase it's new, people are willing to ask questions without seeming stupid so they clarify possible misunderstandings
06:12:45 Aiden Yeh i think that's what happened to one of my students, she just kept quite and did not say anything while, the other wrote back and apologize
06:13:00 Vance Stevens at least onlne there is the possibility to moderate and reason with those in conflict
06:13:03 Susanne Nyrop Linley, that is so true! you need a safe and supprtiive environment to dare ask all kind of questions, technical as well as professional
06:13:08 Marita Quaglio I'm also not so shy because I don't know anyone (except Jane) but she's cool
06:13:31 Aiden Yeh marita, was it about the students from Taiwan?
06:13:51 Vance Stevens there is a body of research to suggest that online CMC enhances participation of weaker communicators
06:13:51 Rita Zeinstejer do shy people find this medium easier?
06:13:55 Dafne Gonzalez so anonymity is a plus here
06:13:55 Marita Quaglio That was it Aiden
06:14:19 Linley Joomjaroen discovers how to wave back -hopefully!
06:14:23 Susanne Nyrop Rita - I do! :-)
06:14:34 Dafne Gonzalez great, Linley
06:14:34 Rita Zeinstejer :hugs Sus
06:14:43 Vance Stevens Scanlon and Scanlon in the 70s comes to mind, though I'm not near my reference materials
06:14:44 Michael Coghlan You don't strike me as shy Susanne. Are you?
06:14:54 Ismail Fayed .
06:15:05 Linley Joomjaroen she's very shy!
06:15:08 Dafne Gonzalez she is so shy that she left
06:15:10 Susanne Nyrop has joined the chat.
06:15:19 Michael Coghlan and come back!
06:15:23 Dafne Gonzalez lol
06:15:23 Rita Zeinstejer (Sus IS shy,,;-))
06:15:26 Jane Anderson learning, learning: hugs Marita
06:15:26 Aiden Yeh speaking of anonymity, this was the reason why my students posted the kind of message in ruth vilmi's discussion board
06:15:53 Michael Coghlan Can you explain a bit more Aiden?
06:16:33 Aiden Yeh causing the misunderstanding
06:17:02 Susanne Nyrop Do you find that we are anonymous in the Webheads community, Daf? We do have many ways to get people to present who they are - photos, homepages documenting messages and postings, telling personal matters - stepping out of the shadows
06:17:18 Aiden Yeh in f2f classroom, taiwanese students, majority of them are shy and reluctant to speak
06:17:29 Marita Quaglio Yes I'm happy to go witht the flow. You are a good moderator to consider that
06:17:38 Michael Coghlan Ah...but online they WILL speak?
06:17:38 Dafne Gonzalez no, we know each other well, Sus
06:17:53 Rita Zeinstejer we are not anonymous in our Webhead community...
06:17:59 Vance Stevens photos are an important element I think
06:18:04 Dafne Gonzalez I love our photos and home pages
06:18:08 Susanne Nyrop :hits daf with a paper flyer
06:18:18 Shunichiro Ito It's more of fear in my students that keep them from expressing.
06:18:25 Dafne Gonzalez :turns her haid to avoid being hit
06:18:28 Shunichiro Ito Not shyness.
06:18:28 Dafne Gonzalez head
06:18:35 Susanne Nyrop Aiden, were you surprised from the reaction in the Vilmi sdession?
06:19:14 Aiden Yeh taking for example, the case of Jean, in real life she's very timid, but the kind of message "hello, i'm the most beautiful studnet..and.. (mentioning a classmate's name) is so ugly"
06:19:19 Dafne Gonzalez Because of the photos I was able to recognize Vance and Ismail when we met f2f
06:19:31 Susanne Nyrop shun, what kind of fear do your young wo students experience?
06:20:03 Susanne Nyrop Sorry, Shun's students are young women
06:20:09 Shunichiro Ito Fear of not being able to properly express themselves in the language they are learning.
06:20:11 Aiden Yeh no, i wasn't surprised at all, as a matter of fact, it was kinda, expected
06:20:39 Linley Joomjaroen I wonder whether webheads are just yourselves or has webheads created something special?
06:20:56 Susanne Nyrop Do you think the problem was solved, was the conficence from your teacher colleague coming back after this incident, Aiden?
06:21:07 Aiden Yeh i'm afraid that they are traumatized to join future online discussions
06:21:12 Peter Hillery 2 Aiden - in your paper - i was more surprised that Vilmi was not more understanding - rather than surprised at the student's reaction
06:21:12 Vance Stevens (wonders how long this session lasts, as may have to be going soon)
06:21:21 Vance Stevens Hello everybody from the Czech Republic
06:21:30 Michael Coghlan About another 10 min Vance
06:21:55 Dafne Gonzalez Webheads is a large community of language teachers and learners from all over the world, Linley
06:22:08 Vance Stevens Aiden, can you send me the url to your paper through the webheads lists please?
06:22:08 Ismail Fayed has joined the chat.
06:22:21 Michael Coghlan so I guess we are senstive to CCC issues
06:22:29 Vance Stevens A Czech English teacher has just used Vance's address and joined the discussion
06:22:33 Aiden Yeh the problem was solved, no doubt, but, the confidence of the students, that needs some building up
06:22:35 Linley Joomjaroen I mean, individually, are you special when you communicate with each other - happy, stimulated etc
06:22:38 Jane Anderson its all gone in a flash - and where does it go? into c-space?
06:22:42 Vance Stevens The reason there are two vance's here is that I send Lenka the url to join us
06:22:45 Dafne Gonzalez we have some emails lists and we meet every Sunday at noon GMT
06:23:21 Aiden Yeh Michael, can you do the honor of giving Vance the URL to my paper?
06:23:21 Dafne Gonzalez the Webheads community started in 1998, If I am not wrong
06:23:22 Susanne Nyrop Linley, Webheads has created something in me I was not really aware of! I know how to nake many things online, but not that I was also good at working together with others to explore it as a critical friend and study mate.And, we cna also be very serious, talk about personal or professional matters. That depends on the situation.
06:23:26 Michael Coghlan I only see 1 Vance but if you are here Lenka - then hello!
06:23:27 Vance Stevens apparently that containmed my logon info, though I will vouch for Lenka :-))
06:23:28 Rita Zeinstejer we are all stimulated, yes, Linley, respected, pampered...;-)
06:23:58 Linley Joomjaroen yes, I suspected something special
06:24:18 Rita Zeinstejer does it feel?
06:24:20 Michael Coghlan I seriously think webheads have discovered the formula to make CMC work
06:24:21 Aiden Yeh I do feel special, being a webhead
06:24:21 Dafne Gonzalez there is a strong tie
06:25:04 Vance Stevens (the real Vance refreshes his chat screen)
06:25:13 Ismail Fayed we should be comprehesible towards this word, I guess.
06:25:15 Dafne Gonzalez Webheads opened the online world to me
06:25:17 Susanne Nyrop The good ideas often come up in the middle of nothing special in our weekly meetings, and you see how easy it was for Michael to call for his supporters to this event - this is not the first time we meet like this
06:25:50 Vance Stevens (real vance) anyone can become a webhead. It's kind of like being a cyber-hippy
06:25:50 Susanne Nyrop Ismael, which word? I did not get it
06:26:11 Shunichiro Ito Trying to follow the discussion, Michael.
06:26:11 Ismail Fayed me too Aiden
06:26:12 Dafne Gonzalez love and peace
06:26:28 Linley Joomjaroen I wonder whether webheads is really cross cultural, thought, or wether you have created your own cyber culture ?
06:26:47 Michael Coghlan It's both Linley
06:26:50 Dafne Gonzalez any community creates its own culture
06:26:53 Rita Zeinstejer both things,
06:26:54 Michael Coghlan yes
06:26:57 Rita Zeinstejer ;-)
06:26:58 Peter Hillery 2 webhead friends - I have enjoyed your paper in nw2002 and this conversation (even though i haven't participated)
06:27:17 Dafne Gonzalez smiles gratefully to Peter
06:27:18 Ismail Fayed Something wrong with the chat here, I see one line then a dozen lines when i refresh the window this is why u see it late or not on the proper place, Sus.
06:27:20 Vance Stevens Interensting point Linley, but if we are our own culture then it interacts with otehr cultures as people join us online
06:27:29 Peter Hillery 2 I will join a webhead chat sometime - 12 noon GMT sundays? whats the URL?
06:27:39 Aiden Yeh we talked about being ourselves while being a webhead, can this be possible to EFL students,
06:27:45 Linley Joomjaroen maybe, or maybe they just pick up the signals and join in, V
06:27:46 Susanne Nyrop Like herding cats and the intuitive chaos management, some analogies that we have adapted and elaborated to decribe some of the ays we interact and work.
06:27:48 Dafne Gonzalez http://www.tappedin.org
06:27:49 Michael Coghlan Cheers Peter - I gather you're leaving. tappedin.org
06:27:59 Vance Stevens Lenka Every Webhead can add a bit of webheadculture to their national ones..
06:28:15 Michael Coghlan Are there other issues anyone would like to raise in the few minutes we have left?
06:28:15 Peter Hillery 2 thanks
06:28:16 Shunichiro Ito To Aiden, depends which EFL students you are talking about.
06:28:23 Ismail Fayed .
06:28:49 Dafne Gonzalez we go around cyberspace spreading our webheads cutlture
06:29:02 Aiden Yeh Asian, Taiwanese for example
06:29:28 Peter Hillery 2 I've got to go to bed - its 11:30 pm in the land of Oz
06:29:41 Aiden Yeh but if being themselves gets them into trouble, how's this possible?
06:29:42 Michael Coghlan 11.00 in Adelaide
06:29:42 Dafne Gonzalez sleep tight, Peter
06:29:42 Susanne Nyrop Dafne has become a true Webheads missionaire
06:29:54 Aiden Yeh nite, peter
06:29:56 Rita Zeinstejer look forward to seeing you at Webheads place..
06:30:09 Peter Hillery 2 good night all - and thanks for everything!

06:31:18 Linley Joomjaroen Great to meet you all!
06:31:18 Vance Stevens Lenka What about national identity as Webheads - do you feel it strong as members of a webbased group?
06:31:22 Jane Anderson bibibib for now :)
06:31:25 Aiden Yeh Marita, I hope that we were able to answer your question somehow
06:31:26 Susanne Nyrop But with a totally different bias?

06:36:51 Dafne Gonzalez bye Rita
06:36:52 Susanne Nyrop again I hit the return arrow :-)
06:37:04 Susanne Nyrop Interesting, Ismael

06:37:27 Susanne Nyrop No, daf'

06:42:30 Dafne Gonzalez you too, Ismail :-))
06:42:44 Dafne Gonzalez Sus, see you later
06:42:49 Susanne Nyrop When I left this late night, Bronwyn said to me that she preferred to use the "protocol for chat" - not the very organic style
06:42:58 Susanne Nyrop :hugs you!!!
