I thought today went pretty well; (for once) my computer was not one of the ones having trouble, and I was able to create my Twitter account with no problems. I don't know if/how many people saw my Tweet, but I'll give you ficticious bonus points if anyone knows the relationship between the Lion and the Unicorn or their relationship with Lewis Carroll (and no, this is not an open book/computer question) :)
As for the webinar, part of me wonders if a conference call coupled with instant message wouldn't have been easier/have had fewer problems. But I must admit that I'm frustrated with visual tech stuff at the moment anyway - I have yet to figure out how to get my camera, the xacti model recommended, to talk to my pc computer! If anyone has solved this conundrum, PLEASE let me know.
Ummm, both British? Both involve imaginary creatures?
ReplyDeleteUgh - the Webinar technology. I'm sorry. I have a feeling that we overloaded the bandwidth on our end, and the Webcam/mic on the other end wasn't outstanding.
What model camera do you have? If it is a Flip or a Small Wonder, I have a hunch about the PC issue. Email me: font [at] umich [dot] edu if I can help.
If I googled it anyway, would I be able to find the answer? I have no idea. I thought you contributed some valuable things to the discussion on Friday with the question about syllabi, I'm still pondering how we can use them to better effect. Also, you're right, the webinar did feel like conference call/instant messenger.
