MichaelAC: Geetings everyone ButhainaA: I'm trying, Vance DennisN: No problem. I've just returned from a late breakfast at the Turksih Attaturk club.

MichaelAC: Hi Dennis VanceS: gReetings miChael ButhainaA: Yes, Michael, i know, how are you, I miss you all DennisN left the room (signed off). MichaelAC: seems like Wiziq is having a rest right? ButhainaA: Vance, WiZiQ is also down in my end MichaelAC: I'm really well Buth VanceS: nice to see you all together VanceS: yeah, wouldn't you know it ButhainaA: That's good to hear, Michael VanceS: maybe it will come online shortly NelbaQ: hi, Vance DennisN joined the room. VanceS: Hi Nelba DennisN: Tried Wiz, couldn'tet through and lost my connection here. MichaelAC: yeh - we can try again every 10 mins or so. (What do you want for nothing?!) DennisOl joined the room. ButhainaA: I have been trying WiZiQ since 1 pm my time, 10:00 GMT but no luck NelbaQ: what a pity Wiziq is down : ( JeffC: right... i'd also recommend emailing admin@wiziq.com ...maybe someone will respond. MichaelAC: 2 Dennises! DennisN: Perhaps webheads have drawn attention to the site and it is overloaded. VanceS: maybe it will be up soon then DennisOl: Hi, Michael--and everyone. DennisN: Ah...Hi Dennis...Im Dennis of Os or Denos. MichaelAC: Moira's comment was interesting - 'no replies from the Help Line' DennisN: Denos - Dennis in Osnabrueck is short to type. DennisOl: I thought so, Dennis from Osnabrück. DennisN: Dennis Oliver....Hi. DennisOl: What are you referring to, Michael (and hello, by the way). VanceS: Hi Denos and Dennis DennisOl: Hey, Vance. NelbaQ: perhaps the problems we had yesterday with the URLs you sent us VAnce were caused by this breakdown DennisN: Hi Vance, the one and only MichaelAC: Moira wrote a comment in email about Wiziq not responding to requests for help DennisOl: Buenos días, my friend Nelba! ButhainaA: Dennis O. how are you? miss you a lot :) DennisOl: Salaam, my friend Buthaina! VanceS: Jeff has given me the email of the CEO so I'm writing him MichaelAC: LOL DennisOl: I'm good, Buthaina--alhamduleilah! MichaelAC: go straight to the top! DennisOl: Hi, Jeff. LeanneMM joined the room. MichaelAC: of course it might just be a one person show.... JeffC waves to Dennis. DennisOl: Leanne! Hugs! ButhainaA: Great idea, Jeff and Vance, thanks DennisOl: (and hugs to everyone) LeanneMM: Hi All DennisOl: I read the posts about URLs, Vance and everyone, but I couldn't figure out what they were referring to. JeffC: Wiziq is still in Beta. It's located in India. I've run several sessions there and although there are bugs, there are *definitely* some very good things about it. LeanneMM hugs all around ButhainaA: Hi Leanne, hope all is well DennisOl: I'm really, really glad you're now in Arizona, Leanne. JeffC: It's flash based, requiring *no download or other plugin*. JeffC: It's free... and is also a collaborative community. LeanneMM: Long time no see, Buth MichaelAC: It worked really well for me the one time I tried Wiziq a few weeks ago DennisOl: Ah, WiziQ. JeffC: It has excellent content presentation of powerpoint. VanceS: @dennisOl which urls didn't you understand ButhainaA: interesting, nice to know, Jeff, thanks JeffC: The bugs I've noted so far are that there is an echo in audio. NelbaQ: so it is a good tool according 2 your experience. MichaelAC: Looks like Twitterspeak Vance @dennisOl ! JeffC: Furthermore the "teacher" can't control the audio, which means that everyone may talk at once. SvetlanaM joined the room. LeanneMM: Hi Svetlana MichaelAC: Hello Svetlana! Welcome! SvetlanaM: hello everyone DennisOl: Sveta! Privet! NelbaQ: Hi JeffC: They need to update their "math symbols" which you may use on the whiteboard... either putting them into folders or (better) getting an interactive graphing calculator installed. DennisN: I like the look of WiziQ very much, but, obviously, it needs to work - most of the time. ButhainaA: Hi Svetlana JeffC: This is the first time I've seen it down... it could be scheduled maintenance, but who knows? MichaelAC: Just tried Wiziq again - no score DennisOl: I'm trying to connect to the WiZiQ portal, but am not able to get through. LeanneMM: So is the experiment off? JeffC: Alternatives to wiziq are http://www.yugma.com and http://www.accuconference.com NelbaQ: so you cannot rely on wiziq very mucch JeffC: both of those sites are also free for educators. NelbaQ: and do they work well, Jeff? NelbaQ: or have the same problems? JeffC: Well... I wouldn't say that being down this once is a major thing... all sites (including Tapped In!) are down from time to time. JeffC: Yes... and... all sessions are automatically logged and archived. NelbaQ: well, thanks for the info. ButhainaA: Yes, Dennis, wiziq is down JeffC: As I said, powerpoint presentations work perfectly there. NelbaQ: I will need a site like this for an online literature course BeeD joined the room. NelbaQ: Hi, Bee. LeanneMM: Hi Bee DennisOl: Thanks, Buthaina. BeeD: Hello there! MichaelAC: Hi there Bee! DennisOl: Oí, Bee! BeeD hugs everyone JeffC: And it's a collaborative, so the idea is to get content and sessions up there, and then share them with the wiziq community. SvetlanaM: Hi Bee ButhainaA: Hi Bee JeffC: We have a demo session scheduled here for November 14th (check the Tapped In Calendar for your timezone). DennisN: Hi, Bee. ButhainaA waves to be Bee and send her flying kisses :) DennisOl: Abraços, Bee! BeeD: has anyone used it yet? NelbaQ: I am hearing a lot about you Bee.... I am doing a course with Jennifer in Buenos Aires JeffC: yes Bee... unfortunately it's down now. DennisN: JeffC - I like that, the emphasis on the collaborative. JeffC: yup BeeD: DennisOL, thanks for the great Mac accentuation resources and mail VanceS: Jennifer?? DennisOl: You're very welcome, Bee. I hope they were useful. DennisN: Bee, someone here in the room (virtually speaking) has used it. NelbaQ: Yes, Jeniffer.... oh it is a very difficult surname ... Verschoo or something like this JeffC: I like it a lot for a variety of reasons... but as it's in Beta, it's to be expected there are problems. I plan on speaking with the CEO next week about possible improvements. BeeD: Hi Nelba...yes Jenn has asked to join our SocialMedia EVO session...and is sweating a bit...lol MichaelAC: I tried it once Bee - seemed good DennisOl: I think Verschoor is her surname, Nelba. I'll check. NelbaQ: She will work with Bee in EVO NelbaQ: sweating a bit ??? she is fascinated! VanceS: I'm supposed to 'mentor' that session btw SvetlanaM: Jeff - a demo on the Nov 14th for WiiQ or yugma and accuconference? BeeD: Does Wiziq allow you to export your content somewhere else? DennisOl: Yes--Jennifer Verschoor. VanceS: so if you need anything NelbaQ: but a little scared with all the work :)) VanceS . o O ( so I should have known who Jennifer was ... ) BeeD: Well...this is what a 6-week workshop is all about :-) MikeGst1 joined the room. NelbaQ: Why , Vance? VanceS: because i'm 'mentoring/ her session VanceS: WiZiQ puts your content online like at slideshare VanceS: and you can access it by tags DennisN: I imagine preparations are underway for BaW 08. Correct? BeeD: can you recover your content? DennisOl: This will give a "snapshot" of Jennifer: DennisOl: http://jenverschoor.blogspot.com/ MikeGst1 left the room (signed off). MikeGst1 joined the room. LeanneMM: WB Mike ;-) BeeD: Did you receive our welcome mail, Vance? ButhainaA: And you can record your session at wiziq and it's automatically saved; right Jeff? VanceS: I received it Bee JeffC: it's automatic VanceS: now have I READ it ButhainaA: Hi Mike VanceS: that's a different quesiton MikeGst1: hi VanceS: I will do so forthwith BeeD: I have one video conferencing system here I would like to have a go NelbaQ: Hi all VanceS: miaybe like rightt now BeeD: but I believe it needs to be uploaded to a server DennisOl: Which one is that, Bee? BeeD: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart/?p=406 DennisOl: Ah, thanks. RitaZ joined the room.

I just got into WiZiQ without tropuble, saw Vance's poster, went into the session, and the there was nothing nor nobody there. The screen looked fine, but there was no sound, no picture, no writing - emptiness. DennisOl: Teşekkür ederim DennisOl: I'll add that to my Turkish notes. BeyzaY: u re anawesome student DennisN: When I was in Qatar we siad: "Nshalla" and "shukran" for tham you. Were those a dialect? MoiraH joined the room. DennisN: tham = thank MoiraH: Hello all BeyzaY: maybe BeyzaY: hi moira MoiraH: How are you all? And what are you discussing? DennisN: DennisO. Do you know what happened in WiZiQ? Did people go home?

MoiraH: ok MoiraH: Dennis :-) Nice to hear' you again :-) BeyzaY: it s so slow NelbaQ: yes, i think there are still connection problems because I cannot enter DennisN: But I left there just a minute ago. No problem getting in - or out. DennisOl: I, for example, can get into WiZiQ, but I can't load the session. BeyzaY: and small BeyzaY: is it possible to make it bigger DennisOl: I think maybe there is a limit on how many people can be in a session. DennisN: Ah. That was my problem, too - I couldn't find the session. MoiraH: Is it a public session? DennisN: I like the interface, though, clean and clear. DennisOl: Moira: I don't know if you meant me or Denos (Dennis in Osnabrück). NelbaQ: Hi, Moira. I haven´t met you for so long! DennisOl: But (Moira) I've been meaning for some time to tell you how much I've enjoyed your Moscow photos. DennisOl: Beyza: Is this correct for "insh'allah"? DennisOl: umarım MoiraH: WizIQ is very much like Vyew and others, all mixed DennisN: Moira. In the world TI, I, Dennis from Osnabrueck aka Denos am DennisN and Dennis Oliver is DennisO. Sigh. Confusing, I know. MoiraH: Thanks Dennis :-)))))))) It was a great trip but I still want to know what Nina and Jane were ding there (and others) in the '70s ;-) DennisOl: Beyza: I've found a way to type both i and ı, but it takes some time to set up. MoiraH: yes I know Dennis in Deutschland ;-) DennisOl smiles DennisOl: Denos: It could be worse. What if we were both DennisN or DennisO? MoiraH: so does anyone have the url for the WizIQ session? as it does not appear on sessions JaneAP joined the room. DennisOl: www.tinyurl.com/2jtfuq DennisOl: Rots of Ruck in accessing it, though, Moira! MoiraH: THANK YOU Dennis Supersonic :-))))))))) DennisOl: he he he DennisN: Did you know, Moira and others, that I attended the 6th. World Youth Festival in Moscow in 1957? :-) DennisOl: By the way, Moira, if you didn't send a message to Dafne via the "thoughts for Dafne" blog, I can give you the URL. DennisOl: No, I didn't know that, Denos. How wonderful! DennisOl: For years and years and years, it's been a dream of mine to visit Moskva and Kiyiv. DennisOl: I'll likely never realize that dream . . . except vicariously. DennisOl: A belated "Hi" to Jane! DennisOl: and hugs! CorinneW joined the room. CorinneW: Good Afternoon everyone DennisOl: Hmmm . . . . It's very quiet here (except for Chatty-Kathy Dennis). I guess folks are still trying to enter the WiZiQ session. DennisOl: Hi, Corinne.

VanceS: i tried on one computer and the port was blocked VanceS: possibly by my semantec DennisOl: Not a firewall on my end. DennisOl: But maybe. Who knows?
