 20:15:50  Durff ->  :)
 20:16:02  cheryloakes ->  i am glad Jeff is trying this out on skypecast, i've avoided skypecast
 20:16:02  SusanEttenheim ->  thanks!
 20:16:10  Durff ->  $5
 20:16:13  cheryloakes ->  it looks like I am hosting, which I know I am not
 20:16:25  SusanEttenheim ->  yes I've been avoiding skypecast too and have missed them
 20:16:40  Durff ->  we all have
 20:16:44  SusanEttenheim ->  I don't have that window that shows the skypecast
 20:16:49  SusanEttenheim ->  do you?
 20:17:00  Durff ->  i do
 20:17:08  JoseR ->  It went in directly for me
 20:17:09  cheryloakes ->  no, it looks like the regular skype
 20:17:12  SusanEttenheim ->  how did you get it
 20:17:23  Durff ->  onedtechtalk i think
 20:17:24  JoseR ->  just dial it in
 20:17:26  cheryloakes ->  maybe they are on the url
 20:17:33  SusanEttenheim ->  yes, mine looks like the regular skype too and I see the list of everyone in the call and the skypecast
 20:17:42  cheryloakes ->  yes me too susan
 20:18:11  SusanEttenheim ->  oh yikes well that answers my question about how to ask for the mic!
 20:18:25  SusanEttenheim ->  so how can you mute someone on  in the skypecast?
 20:18:25  cheryloakes ->  you can talk, unless you are muted, self muted
 20:18:30  SusanEttenheim ->  I muted myself
 20:18:38  cheryloakes ->  oh, Jeff has the ability somehow
 20:18:45  SusanEttenheim ->  so does that mean that you can't mute people anymore?
 20:18:51  SusanEttenheim ->  oh ok
 20:18:57  SusanEttenheim ->   that would be terrible otherwise
 20:19:12  cheryloakes ->  I don't know on a mac, we should try it later,  create a skypecast, oh, we can't since it isn't mac supported, duh
 20:19:27  SusanEttenheim ->  wow that's right cheryl
 20:19:35  JoseR ->  Should we form committees?
 20:19:39  cheryloakes ->  so I still can't use it for wow 2.0
 20:19:43  SusanEttenheim ->  I usually use a pc to monitor the skypecast so I could make one on that
 20:20:00  cheryloakes ->  true, you could do that.
 20:20:14  SusanEttenheim ->  cheryl i find that it works much better if i'm two different people on two machines
 20:20:20  SusanEttenheim ->  at the same time of course
 20:21:38  JoseR ->  cookies
 20:21:54  Durff ->  cookies are good
 20:22:09  Durff ->  pecan and coc chip
 20:22:49  JoseR ->  All this funding WAY over my head
 20:22:55  SusanEttenheim ->  18-20
 20:23:01  SusanEttenheim ->  yeah!
 20:23:07  SusanEttenheim ->  5-
 20:23:08  SusanEttenheim ->  lol
 20:23:18  SusanEttenheim ->  that saturday...
 20:23:46  jeff ->  http://educationbridges.org/forum/22
 20:24:05  JenMad ->  family home ... mic muted ... will speak when spoken to for time being ...
 20:25:18  SusanEttenheim ->  does anyone else hear the static?  I wonder what it is?
 20:25:40  cheryloakes ->  i think the static is the skypecast stuff
 20:26:03  JoseR ->  cool
 20:26:36  SusanEttenheim ->  skypecasts are so flaky
 20:26:42  SusanEttenheim ->  nooooo!!
 20:26:45  JoseR ->  what?   NOOOOOOOO
 20:26:53  SusanEttenheim ->  jeff and dave forever!
 20:26:54  cheryloakes ->  but it is working much better than before
 20:27:45  cheryloakes ->  i think the edtechtalk emergency network has been helpful
 20:29:22  JoseR ->  Let's Do It!  Of course, I wouldn't know where to start.  But I am good at listening and following directions
 20:29:26  SusanEttenheim ->  it has been great even if i'm not always there
 20:30:01  Lee ->  lol
 20:30:06  SusanEttenheim ->  I think the  problem at least for me is simply juggling teaching
 20:30:07  cheryloakes ->  the book of webcasting is terrific, what other "books can we develop?
 20:30:27  SusanEttenheim ->  and what about the moodle
 20:30:51  SusanEttenheim ->  I offered to lead a new group of interns this summer and would like to use the moodle so that would develop it too
 20:31:12  cheryloakes ->  Hm, I could help do that.
 20:32:13  JoseR ->  Aggressive?  Alice??  Ok she is.
 20:35:05  JoseR ->  Council and committees work for me.
