Online meetings-Week 3

"Hope for the best" seems to be wishful thinking for me. I tried to view an archived BCR session. I first had to download Saba Centra and everything went well until the final statement which said I did not have the proper audio something or other so I had no sound to accompany the visual - not very satisfactory! Prior experience trying to participate in a live Wimba session was a problem too. I could never get it running on my computer, even after consulting with my district tech person. However, another district librarian had no problem with Wimba, even though our computers are identical issued by the district. Fortunately the four district librarians were gathering to participate together so my computer was not needed. I have had one positive experience participating in a webinar in the past. In general, live webinars are difficult to manage in a school setting.

I'm finally back!

Life interfered and I postponed doing Week 2 assuming things would be blocked at school. I'm just now taking time to get caught up a bit. 4 day weeks are great but leave little time for "extra" projects. I discovered as I did the assignment that I already had a Ning account and that you could belong to different groups within that account. Had I realized that I might have got this work done during week 2! I did some reading on the Teacher Librarian Ning.

I appreciate all the Facebook information. I will consult it further if I ever decide to get a Facebook account although that is unlikely at this point.

On to week 3.
