Hi again guys!
HorizonLive (although I haven't seen a demo yet) has the ability to allow two grousp to work with each other on a program where one group can see another one. I am sure with technology strides we will be able to view each other both ways one day. Also, the university is looking on purchasing another package that will do the same thing - except that one wil be able to view both ways. A lot of IT is involved - I think you are both in for a great experience on Tuesday whether it's comparing packages or just making the connections. See you soon! :)

Kika that sounds great. I'm really excited and I hope this works. I'm looking forward to it. I've been doing some research about available funding. At first glance it seems like there is alot. I have been doing searches and reading some of the basic information. If it seems like our collaboration meets the criteria, I keep the site on a list I've created. I will look deeper into these sites as I get more time. It seems like things are moving along nicely. Keep up all of your hard work. See you guys on Monday.

Hi!! Hola!!
Today I talked to Blanca and things are looking good for Tuesday, I just need to talk to Argentina on Monday morning to alert them the I am going to try to get on line from LIU on monday afternoon. I also have the papers to print the images from the children in argentina. Blanca told me that as today there is a big possibility the they are going to see us but we are not going to see them. Lets see what happens, this is because of the vendor. We do not have to give up this is possible and maybe we need time and trial and error to put our dream together
I am going outside to help Ivan fix the Peace Pole so it can stand up wihtout ground
see you all on Monday

Hi Guys!
Great job today! I think that you are well on your way to some real great connections! I will add that tonight, I received an email from a friend of mine who is working (volunteering) on a site for international connections. I am going to give you their website here. This sounds like it is right up your alley - talking about making lessons to share with others around the world, not just connecting and talking without a purpose - or at least with am educational purpose - sounds better. Again, thanks for the presentation! It was really great! Kika, talk to you sometime tomorrow or Wed. Greg and Lenny and Bette will talk to you about the two companies - we will have some more information about them tomorrow.

The site that you'll want to check out is:
http://www.dohnsco.com/isp/

Oh, by the way...could the two of you email me a short bio of yourselves. I'm looking for information such as where you got your undergraduate degree, and what your undergraduate degree is in. Exactly what you are teaching now, How long you've been teaching where you are now, and where you were teaching before if you've worked anywhere else. I'm going to use this information for something I'm trying to work on (Dreamweaver). Please email this to me at your earliest convenience.

Hi Guys,
Sorry I've been out of touch for a while. I've been dealing with alot of personal stuff. I did go to the Videoconferencing workshop on Wednesday. I really enjoyed it. We made connection with the Musuem of Television and Radio in Beverly Hills, CA. We did run into some problems with the connection so the video was choppy and delayed, but the audio was perfect. It made me so excited to make our first connection. I don't know if you've been going to the Roslyn message board, but I think you guys are both authorized by now. I should see you both in class on Monday.

Hi Guys! Kika and Danielle - great collaboration work today. I think what we need to find out is all the technology infrastruture that the schools have that we want to connect to. What kind of modem or cable connection do they have. Do they have access to the internet. Do they have webcams? etc. I think if we were able to connect the kids before the 20th too via something like quicktopic just as an introduction it would be important in setting the stage. Great job guys! Kika, talk to you via email! Thanks for your contributions Kika and Danielle!

I AM HOME TODAY, I was in a workshop last night, I am going to night again. Lets see where are we going, it is frustating at times, I will call argentina in a few minutes because bette asked a few questions last night that I do not know, I will keep you poseted.

How was class last night?? I hope I didn't miss too much! Anything new going on? Are you guys going to the workshops next week? I may go to the one on Tues and/or Wed. Tues. is the EEV Collab workshop and Wed. is the Video conferencing one! Let me know!! Talk to you guys soon!

Hey guys-
It's me again! I just wanted to let you know that the game I was supposed to coach last Monday, was rescheduled for this Monday, so, I won't be in class. If you guys wouldn't mind, could you let me know what I missed! Thanks! Also, let's keep in touch over the break and see if we can go to any of the workshops together! Thanks!

Thanks Angie, for trying to get us a name and password for the new bulletin board. I may or may not be in class tomorrow. I'm coaching softball and my team has a game tomorrow night. I am trying hard to balance TEAM and the team, and I have to go to this game...(I missed last week's game to come to class) If you can, me let me know what went on!! Thanks so much! (actually, it all depends on the weather...I hear we are supposed to have snow!!!)

Hi Guys,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I have been reading your messages. It seems like you are both making great progress with making the connection happen. I'm so jealous that my school is not as open minded as both of yours.

The conference call went ok. We didn't cover half of what we wanted to. What we did do is start a bulletin board similar to this, however you need to be registered and get a user name and password. I just sent Ed Salina an email asking him to register both of you so you both can follow the progress and post messages as well. I will let you know if I hear back from him or he will email you himself.

I'm going to Florida for part of the vacation, but will try to make it to the EEV workshops during vacation if I'm home in time. I'll see you both on Monday and we'll talk some more.

HI Guys!
I just wanted to let you know that the Ed Tech has just hired David Van Esselstyn who comes with significant experience especially in the areas of simulations and creating virtual realities. You;'ll hear more about him in the next few weeks I'm sure - until then happy days and Peace. Great job on your discussion board.

I just spoke with my technology coordinator and she told me that she has someone working on a connection with a school in another country for me (us!)She said that it may happen by the end of the year!!! And, if we make the connection and the other school doesn't have a camera, my school will by one for them! WOW!
