• Watch the Cohort9 Blog for class-specific news and topics - it's best to subscribe. [Instructions]

• Watch for ELC notifications. I'll use its email only in desperation.  But watch in case of Discussion postings, grade postings, etc.

RLPs: brief show-and-tell of ideas

Exhibition Logistics

• Submit your direct link by 9/30 to Cristina
  
• Comment options: Discussion Board as backup; tell us in your Exhibit where to comment
  
• Class "meetings" at 9am, again later; will provide more detailed schedule as I work up the agenda
  
• Exhibits - visit during the day; leave comments on 5-10; nominate liberally for awards (Funniest; Geekiest; Best use of graphics; etc., etc. - not competitive) - do this by emailing or Skye/IMing me
• Backup Plan: A. Chat within Wimba Voice Direct - this will probably work even if voice doesn't. Plan B: time shift content, but we can't reschedule.
  
• Tour of Wimba Classroom (probably not necessary)
  
• You will need a headset microphone (cheap at BestBuy, will have multiple uses in the longrun)
  
• Your task: login ahead of time, run the setup wizard
• In the classroom:
  
  • I will play music 15 min. ahead of time as you login.
    
  • Click the Hand icon to speak, or to wait for your turn.
  • Click the X icon to release the microphone.
  • Watch the running chat and comment as you like.
  • I will ask yes/no questions; indicate your answer.
  • Any words of advice about Wimba from experienced folks?
• Backup plans
• If a major tool goes down, I'll look for a workaround.
  
• If your 2.0 tool of choice goes down, we can make it up later.
• If the Internet is down for me, I'll use the phone tree to pass along news.  There can be no actual rescheduling.  If I were you, I'd still use the time to visit exhibits as much as possible.
  
  

12:00 - 12:30 - Lunch

This area is so vast that at least one graduate course could be offered about it.
We only started on this topic -- will definitely resume later.

October 3
"Meeting" 4
Completed Agenda

Exhibition: Stay home! Log in 9am

Preparation

• Login to Wimba ahead of time (from ELC 6300). Run the browser check, and note the dial-in numbers in case of trouble. (One form of trouble could easily be that your connection goes down; phone provides a workaround.)
  

• Keep trying, if you can't get on or get in.  Call a classmate.  Watch SLM-L in case I send an urgent message.
  
• Dial the Wimba number listed (ELC 6300 Wimba - it's on one of the first screens you see. Note the PIN as well.)
  
• Don't panic.  We'll archive, in case somebody misses. 
  
• If the problem is on my end (like if my cable or power goes out, or ELC goes down, etc.), carry on with your visits through the Exhibition.  I'll communicate with you through SLM-L or the blog as soon as I can. 
  

• Go to ELC 6300 and click on the Wimba icon .
  
• I'll have my microphone stuck in the "on" position and play music about 15min before class.
  
• We archived this session - the file is available (I think) if you go to ELC-6300-Wimba - on the first screen.
  
• Tech stuff
• Use the chat window to "talk" to everyone, or a single person
  
• Have this page open in another window
• During "class," if you have a question, click the hand to request to "speak," or, type it into the chat window.  I'll be happy to respond.
• Business for the Exhibition
• Comments
• "Awards"
  
• Business for other things
• group meetings today?
  
• Why we need to spend a day talking about avenues of Keeping Current

All day: visit Exhibits

• Visit all in any order you please
  
• Comment on as many as you like, but aim for a minimum of 5 (the more the better, though)
  
• Make constructive compliments and/or suggestions
• Try not to repeat previous comments
• Nominate at least one Exhibit for a Wacky Award. The more the better here, too.
  

1:00
We archived this session,too - the file is available (I think) if you go to ELC-6300-Wimba - on the first screen.

RLP: Last Minute Questions

Information Ethics and Copyright

• A good day to check in with this
• One big project almost done; a new one beginning
• No obligation to keep groups from project to project - I leave this alone
• Now that you know one another, there are proactive things to help, especially as you start out on a new task
• This competency - whether you like groupwork or not - fits under 3.3 Leadership.
