Creating slideshows with Flickr

how to create their own presentations; that's why I decided to solve some
techical constraints I was having, by making my presentation in Flickr
RobertWB: Jeff can you tell the group how to log on for that?
DafneG: yes, I told them they could use photostory, buzznet photoblog,
blogs, web pages, and whatever

ElizabethH: Hi Aiden!
RutyH: Susana, i AM NEW AND i AM WEITING FOR cRISTINAt AND aMY TO TALK
ABOUT OUR PROJECT.
Jeff Cooper's PowerPoint presentation
JeffC: I wanted to share a Powerpoint presentation (in draft form) with
the group.
AidenY: but they almost sound the same, there's a difference in
intonation
AidenY: hi Elizabeth, Good morning
DafneG: go ahead, Jeff show your ppt
DennisOl: Tone! How wonderful--but how frustrating for speakers of
non-tone-based languages!
DennisOl: Yes, Jeff. You've piqued our curiosities!
AidenY: i agree, Dennis.
AidenY: Yes, Jeff, please show us.
DennisOl smiles and nods
JeffC: You can view it online (use IE, not Firefox):
http://www.freewebs.com/jeffcooper/collaboration1.htm
AidenY left the room (signed off).
AidenY joined the room.
ElizabethH: Aiden--can you join us in WorldBridges?
IngridBr left the room (signed off).
AidenY: yeah sure, Elizabeth, when is this again?
JeffC: I can share it in the Powerpoint form through
http://www.yousendit.com/ or... people can download it at
http://www.freewebs.com/jeffcooper/collaboration1.ppt
AidenY left the room (signed off).
AidenY joined the room.
JeffC: I appreciate any and all input... jbcoops@gmail.com
RutyH: i did and thanks
IngridBr joined the room.
SusanneN left the room (signed off).
RobertWB: Jeff, i am tryiing to load up your ppt.
DafneG: the webcast is about to finish
DennisOl: Jeff: I just browsed through all the slides: very
interesting, very informative. I also bookmarked it (I saw it in OmniWeb, not IE.)
JeffC: One of these days I want to get a program that converts
powerpoint to flash (or something more viewable).
JeffLe left the room (signed off).
AidenY: which webcast is that, Daf?
JeffC hasn't used OmniWeb... did it view ok?
DennisOl: Yes.
JeffC: cool
DafneG: I think there is one application that does that, Jeff, but I
think you have to pay for it
DennisOl: I just saw individual slides, though--not a timed
presentation.
JeffC nods to Dafne.
JeffC: It's not a timed presentation.
RutyH: what is timed presentation?
DennisOl: I didn't really mean "timed"--I meant I didn't see it as a
slide show. I just viewed individual slides one by one.
JeffC: I've been offered a job teaching online... this is the material
for the course I am going to give.
RutyH: Amy did it last year
DennisOl: It's very good, Jeff. For the course, it would probably be
better to break it into a number of different PPTs, each on a specific
topic, though.
DafneG: Elizabeth, while copying I closed the window and my chat was
not saved :-(
Maggi: looks good Jeff
ElizabethH: I'll grab it, Daf.
DafneG: thanks, eliz
ChristinLo left the room (signed off).
JeffC: Well... the course is only 5 hours... using Placeware. My plan
was to spend the first two hours introducing myself, the presentation,
and getting to know the students. The third and fourth hours would be
getting the students (guessing mostly educators) to use some of the
sites (register at Tapped In, Hilites, etc.), the final hour would be to
get the students to come back with ideas of their own.
DennisOl: Ah, I see. Well, that changes things.
AidenY: are some of you multitasking? split in two places at the same
time?
DennisOl: Your plan seems good!
RobertWB: We are always multitasking....
DafneG: I was in Worldbridges
MaureenN joined the room.
DafneG: and surfing around
RobertWB: UJust finishing up at world bridges.
DafneG: now I am here
AidenY: that was what Elizabeth was talking about earlier
AidenY: I didn't get that
AidenY: is that over?
DafneG: yes, there was a webcast
DafneG: yes it is over
DennisOl: Is there a way a complete Worldbridges transcript can be made
available? Is that what you were referring to, Elizabeth?
DafneG: but you can listen tothe recording, Aiden
RobertWB: Each one of those gets a bit better every time.
ChristinLo joined the room.
RutyH: can we put pictures here?
JeffLe joined the room.
JeffC: Yes Ruty... "image notes"
DennisOl: Thanks, Daf. I'll listen to the recording.
DennisOl: WB, Christin!
DafneG: your announcement page for the WiA-OC was praised by Jeff,
Dennis
DennisOl: Really?
JeffLe: I'll put a link on worldbridges, if you like.
DennisOl smiles
DafneG: I asked him about a Worldbridges logo..
RutyH: where is the place?
AidenY: whta's the url?
DennisOl: No, don't like it yet, Jeff. It's still in development. It
will be ready soon, though.
DafneG: and he said they are going to have a contest to select a logo
DafneG: well, I will let Jeff talk about their logo
Discussion of Dave Sperling and Dennis
JeffLe: Speaking of praise, I was watching an interview we did with
Dave Sperling a couple of years ago and he had lots of praise for Dennis'
efforts on eslcafe.com when asked about his favorite parts of the site.
DennisOl: Aiden: It's http://www.d-oliver.net/WiA-OC/
JeffLe: roger that. No link yet.
AidenY: thanks
DennisOl: Jeff: I did a lot of work with Dave when "The Cafe" was being
started. I'm also in touch with him regularly and will probably visit
him this summer.
DennisOl: Aiden: Remember that this is a draft. One part is in the 2nd
revision, another the 3rd, but it's still in development.
AidenY: ok
DafneG: Dennis was also our star student in the TESOL "Teaching
Vocabulary and Grammar Online" course ;-)
DennisOl: Jeff: When Dave first started "The Cafe," he put out a call
for people to serve as a start-up team. I think I was the only one who
responded.
DennisOl blushes at Daf's kind words
JeffLe: Interview is at
http://koreabridge.com/kotesol/2003/sperling.htm in case anyone would
like to hear the praise directly
DafneG: and we are really happy that he is a webhead now
ElizabethH: Daf--I managed finally to copy the text of the chat. I'll
e-mail it to you and Bob.
DennisOl blushes again
AidenY: how do I click a link, i could not open the link
RobertWB left the room (signed off).
DafneG: thanks, Elizabeth
DafneG: you may have a popup blocker, Aiden
DennisOl: Thanks for the link, Jeff. Have you ever interviewed Dave
Shaffer?
RutyH: use shift and the mouse together
BjB . o O ( or hold down ctrl as you click on the link )
DafneG: I think you have to use the ctrl key
JeffLe: No. I think I have a short video of one of his Kotesol
presentations somewhere.
DennisOl: Dave Sh has been active in online ELT for a long time--and is
a frequent presenter at KOTESOL conferences, no?
ElizabethH: I get annoyed with Sperling sometimes--he seems a great
self-promoter.
DennisOl: Elizabeth: He isn't.
AidenY: ok, will try
ChristinLo waves goodbye to everyone
DennisOl: But he comes across that way.
ChristinLo left the room (signed off).
DennisOl: You have to understand that he has financed EVERYTHING on his
site himself--and only decided to go (partly) commercial because he
couldn't otherwise afford to offer all the free services.
AidenY: it works but I lost my connection
Maggi: bye Christine
IngridBr: bye everybody
IngridBr waves bye
IngridBr left the room (signed off).
Maggi: bye Ingrid!
DennisOl: Also, Dave Sp is a self-promoter because he has had little
support from academia--though he's had a lot of criticism.
DennisOl: end of sermon
AidenY left the room (signed off).
AidenY joined the room.
DennisOl waves bye to Ingrid
AnnaK left the room (signed off).
ElizabethH: Is he still doing the ESL Cafe, Dennis?
ElizabethH: I'll keep that in mind, Dennis.
DennisOl: The ESL Cafe is best known for its discussion forums and
joblists now, though.
DennisOl: It wasn't intended to be that in the beginning, but that's
what developed over time.
ElizabethH: I should check it out again?
ElizabethH: I have some students in REO who really want to chat, so
maybe the forum there would be the right place for them.
DennisOl: Well, I don't know if anything will change your impression.
But if you understand the reasons for his self-promotion, maybe you'll
see it from another point of view.
Maggi: I arranged for Dave to talk ov er the Internet at our local
teachers confe3rence
Maggi: he was great
DennisOl: The chatroom at Dave's Cafe is usually a safe place for
students.
DennisOl: However, when a lot of teachers are there, the students are
often ignored.
Maggi: I send lots of people who come here there
AmyDw left the room (signed off).
DennisOl: The chatroom is especially good for students when a
participant named "Auntie" is there. She's very good about trying to get all the
student posters involved.
Maggi . o O ( same here )
MaureenN left the room (signed off).
ElizabethH: It's a real art
ElizabethH: I've got to go for now--good seeing you all.
JeffC: Maureen, I just read your post regarding a student with
Aspergers. There is a Special Ed group at Tapped In that you might want to
post it to. Ooops... too late... have to email her.
DennisOl: It was good to chat with you, Elizabeth. I've been an admirer
of yours for a long time!
ElizabethH: Jeff--wee you over in WorldBridges earlier/
ElizabethH: were you?
JeffC: me?
JeffC: or the other jeff?
ElizabethH: Why thank you, Dennis--have we met f2f?
RobertWB joined the room.
ElizabethH: Bob--I just sent you the chat transcript.
AidenY: me too, i've got to go and work on some stuff. Good night all.
DennisOl: Elizabeth: I don
ElizabethH: Bye Aiden--however brief it was fun.
RobertWB: Thanks Eliz, I got it to work anyway, but then I knocked
myself out of Tapped in.
DennisOl: Oops. I don't remember. Maybe. I used to go to TESOL every
year.
DafneG: got it, eliz, thanks
AidenY: bye.
AidenY left the room (signed off).
DennisOl: However, I've known about your work for quite some time.
ElizabethH: Thanks for the tip on the Cafe, Maggi and Dennis--I'm going
to steer some students there.
DennisOl: There are also lots of Student Discussion Boards, Elizabeth.
RobertWB: It's been an interesting morning.
ElizabethH: Are the SL lists still going out of LaTrobe?
DafneG: I am leaving too, need to keep working
DafneG: see you around, folks
DennisOl: Yes, as far as I know, Elizabeth.
RobertWB: Me too Daf,

RobertWB: Daf, did you try to Skype inat Worldbridge.
ElizabethH: Bye, Daf, and thanks for the work on the EVO materials. I
hope to get them all cleaned up by the end of June.

RobertWB: Ok, I think that is what knocked me off.
DafneG: I have had no prob with skype so far
RobertWB: Bye all.
