SusanneN [undescriptable] grins

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "the plumber was here to solve a drainage problem in my apt"

SusanneN [undescriptable] asks, "At your school , Vance?"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "I don't think you could sleep at night without a/c, though I've managed in Sudan and other hot countries without a/c"

Marina [guest] says, "we've had two very hot weeks this month."

Sweettooth [guest] exclaims, "Aircondition can be such a pest! Noisy and chilly; thank god we do not need that kind of modern age energy waster!"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "I remember in Sudan they used to keep water in the shade in clay containers called 'zirs' that cleverly kept it cool"

Sweettooth [guest] says, "Better live in dark caves, then"

BJB [to DafneG]: "don't stress over it. There will be someone to take care of all that for you"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "that was about the only relief from the heat"

SusanneN [undescriptable] grins; this is a pure technical matter of testing technologies!

DafneG says, "I think that next Sunday I will be taking pictures of people cooking paella"

ying [guest] asks, "What is the paella?"

SusanneN [to DafneG]: "Yes!!"

RitaZ asks, "wher, Daf?"

Marina [guest] says, "I can cook paella"

DafneG says, "a typical Spanish dish"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "Ying Lan, Tapped In are having a summer carnival event"

ying [guest] says, "OH.... I got it"

DafneG says, "We will be at a country house, near Valencia"

SusanneN asks, "Are you satisfied with your new camera, Daf?"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "and Dafne is going to use webheads technology to show people how to make Paella"

DafneG says, "I haven't seen the pics on my computer yet"

ying [guest] says, "Oh.. what kind of the event."

RitaZ asks, "photos to upload for our cooking event, Daf?"

DafneG says, "yes, Rit"

DafneG says, "my brazilian friends are having tons of caipirinha"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "yeah, I wonder if we'll see Felix online this morning"

RitaZ asks, "can you imagine celebrations in Brazil? have you ever been there?"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "I've been there, and I can imagine"

DafneG says, "only in the border with Venezuela, Boa Vista"

Sweettooth [guest] exclaims, "No - but finally my local husband might do something else than talking about foot!"

ying [guest] says, "cooking class."

ying [guest] asks, "What do you mean the cooking class?"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "let me find you a url Ying Lan"

SusanneN says, "well, we all like to eat, you know..."

SusanneN says, "and food is a very fine means of getting attention from EFL learners"

DafneG says, "we will be showing how to cook different dishes from all over the world"

ying [guest] says, "Finally, no more World Cup TV show in next 4 years."

SusanneN says, "Games can be quite noisy even when youn are outside the stadium..."

SusanneN says, "I out"

DafneG says, "they are, Sus"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "An electrician is here too, he just blew out one of my computers"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "the laptop is still working"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "if I go off the air, you'll know the reason"

SusanneN says, "In our hometown, a new stadium for thousands of spectators was built last year, and we can hear it clearly when they play"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "it's either a flood or an electrical fire"

DafneG asks, "did you find a black cat on your way to work today, Vance?"

SusanneN says, "Vance, sounds quite pessimist"

DafneG asks, "or did you walk under a ladder?"

SusanneN hands Vance a horsehoe

DafneG chuckles

VanceS [a bit disheveled] rubs rabbit foot on horseshoe

SusanneN asks, "Or maybe a bunch of fresh garlic would help keep away the evil?"

DafneG asks, "are you talking about "vampires" Sus?"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "the electrician is working without cutting off any circuits"

Sweettooth [guest] knocks three times under wood

SusanneN asks, "Cyber gypsies?"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "he's working with 220 volts of live electricity"

VanceS [a bit disheveled] says, "now he's going to the fuse box"

hi [guest] says, "i will take 2 english course"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "You need time to study, rest, and recuperate as well as take classes, Hi."

hi [guest] says, "one since"

BJB [HelpDesk] nods to Richard. We're happy to answer any questions you have about TAPPED IN

hi [guest] says, "one islamic"

VanceS [heveled] says, "Welcome, this is the Webheads session, weekly, every sunday noon GMT"

hi [guest] says, "and one seminer"

RichardTY says, "Thanks."

RichardTY leaves for the CAFE.

RichardTY's personal recorder (recording) leaves for the CAFE.

AidenY says, "you scared him away, vance."

DafneG says, "Richard abandoned us"

AidenY says, "sweettooth, where are you from/"

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "I don't get the feeling that Richard is a very social type."

DafneG says, "you also need time to party, Sarah"

VanceS [heveled] says, "sweettooth is another alter ego"

RichardTY has arrived.

RichardTY's personal recorder (recording) has arrived.

hi [guest] says, "me too"

VanceS [heveled] says, "but not mine"

DafneG says, "welcome back Richard"

SusanneN exclaims, "Hi Richard!"

AidenY says, "oh, vance.."

AidenY says, "WB, Richard."

hi [guest] says, "hi richard"

BJB [to Richard]: "any questions? TAPPED IN can be pretty overwhelming at first."

VanceS [heveled] says, "Hi Richard, it's more social out here"

SusanneN asks, "Would you like to join our discussion, Richard?"

BJB [HelpDesk] wonders if Richard is going to virt camp.

VanceS [heveled] says, "you'd THINK the cafe would be social, but not this time in the morning"

DafneG asks, "where are you from Richard?"

RichardTY says, "Hi. Thanks I just running all over here exploring. It seems that people sure chat at a fast rate here."

SusanneN exclaims, "WE're not very goal oriented, but very active in our communication!"

DafneG says, "click on detach"

RichardTY goes UP.

RichardTY's personal recorder (recording) goes UP.

DafneG says, "he is really exploring"

SusanneN says, "He likes to be on his own, now he has had the invitation to meet us"

DafneG asks, "are we scary?"

JohnSte [webhead] asks, "Well, look at our pictures and then ask?"

VanceS . o O ( begs to differ with Susanne )

AidenY says, "not when we have split personalities (looking at Vance)"

VanceS [heveled] says, "thing is we ARE goal oriented"

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "some people prefer to explore and learn about TAPPED IN on their own."

VanceS [heveled] says, "very much so"

DafneG says, "my pic is an "x""

SusanneN says, "yes, definitely scary we arwe! Our dialogue is fast running over the screen"

AidenY says, "oh, that's so true, john,"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "I think I have to get a new icon this week."

VanceS [heveled] says, "but it's a much different paradigm of goal orientation than most people practice"

AidenY says, "yes, and mine is an unrecognizable monster"

BJB [to DafneG]: "that means that the server where you photo is located is down or is having problems"

DafneG asks, "Vance's server?"

VanceS [heveled] says, "it might be the prohosting one"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Or the URL is broken somehow."

2002/06/30 WebHeads is full. Stopped recording.

VanceS [heveled] says, "yeah, my icon went away so Kari copied it to the tapped in server"

SusanneN agree with Vance - the goal orientation was actually a football joke for insiders, too

VanceS [heveled] says, "you can reach the icon if you type its url"

VanceS [heveled] says, "but tapped in is not reaching it"

SusanneN GOAL!!! they shouted

DafneG says, "a goal-less goal"

VanceS [heveled] says, "I put it there because of a known problem with Geocities, icons stored there"

BJB drops 2002/06/30 WebHeads2 (recording).

DafneG says, "no, it is not working Vance"

VanceS [heveled] asks, "any idea of the problem BJB?"

SusanneN says, "An undefined futurist anitgoal"

hi [guest] says, "gtg now see u"

SusanneN says, "Antigoal"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Ok, see you, Hi."

BJB [HelpDesk] waves bye to Sarah

VanceS [heveled] asks, "but you can see your icon if you type its url, right?"

DafneG says, "bye, Sarah"

VanceS [heveled] says, "bye Sarah"

DafneG says, "nice talking to you"

SusanneN says, "Bye bye sarah"

VanceS [heveled] says, "thanks for joining us"

hi [guest] says, "bye"

stephanietwnel has connected.

You hear a quiet popping sound; SRI_131 [guest] has disconnected.

DafneG says, "hi Stephanie"

VanceS [heveled] says, "hi stephanie"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Hello. Welcome, Stephanie."

SusanneN says, "I learned a new shortform: gtg = got to go"

You hear a quiet popping sound; SRI_89 [guest] has disconnected.

SusanneN says, "Hi stephanie"

BJB [HelpDesk] waves hi to Stephanie. Can we help you with anything?

DafneG says, "gtgn = got to go now"

VanceS [heveled] says, "gtgttbr"

VanceS . o O ( br = bathroom )

JohnSte [webhead] says, "When you gtg you gtg."

SusanneN exclaims, "Well gtgn !"

VanceS [heveled] says, "ps"

SusanneN says, "A mn's gtdo whatamn gtdo"

VanceS . o O ( ps = please stay )

BJB [to DafneG]: "I see your icon when I paste the url in a browser window"

AidenY asks, "what's ps?"

You hear a quiet popping sound; SRI_75 [guest] has lost its link.

SusanneN says, "ps off"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "cu."

VanceS [heveled] says, "no don't go, please stay ndgps"

SusanneN . o O ( sorry, folks, did not meen to be vulgar )

AidenY says, "LOL, SUS."

DafneG asks, "didn't you?"

AidenY asks, "ndgps?"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "That's strange."

BJB [HelpDesk] hopes Vance buries this transcript very deeply

VanceS [heveled] says, "oh, incidentally, I've put all the last half dozen transcripts up on the wb"

AidenY says, "good advice, BJB"

SusanneN blushes her most sincere rouge

AidenY says, "what's ngdps/"

VanceS [heveled] says, "no don't go please stay"

VanceS [heveled] says, "ndgps"

VanceS [heveled] says, "it's a dialog gtg ndgps"

AidenY says, "very creative, vance"

SusanneN says, "I have better let my computer connected instead of logging off -"

SusanneN exclaims, "but off i go!"

VanceS [heveled] says, "ndgps"

DafneG says, "opdg"

SusanneN exclaims, "cu!"

AidenY asks, "seriously, sus?"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "See you, then, Susanne."

SusanneN hgs

VanceS [heveled] says, "opdg ps"

SusanneN looks away.

DafneG says, "h&k 4 Sus"

AidenY says, "oh, very dramatic..."

VanceS [heveled] says, "seriously, about this goal directed stuff, I been thinking lately"

JohnSte [webhead] asks, "Really?"

Sweettooth [guest] listens to Vnce

DafneG listens attentively

VanceS [heveled] says, "Rif and I just produced a very nice article, very much a goal directed activity"

Sweettooth [guest] asks, "Thnkng?"

JohnSte [webhead] asks, "and?"

VanceS [heveled] says, "out of the chaos navigation behaviours we follow"

VanceS [heveled] says, "and I've been talking lately about new paradigms in education"

VanceS [heveled] says, "and it occurs to me that when people meet online, sometimes the atmosphere is more stilted than at others"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "go on."

VanceS [heveled] asks, "would you agree?"

Sweettooth [guest] says, "It was a very fine article to read. I liked the research description very much, as it comes so close to myn own way of proceeding."

VanceS [heveled] says, "I mean, some people think a chat should have a topic and some moderators try to keep people on topic"

RichardTY has arrived.

RichardTY's personal recorder (recording) has arrived.

JohnSte [webhead] asks, "Do most conversations have topics?"

RichardTY goes OUT.

RichardTY's personal recorder (recording) goes OUT.

SusanneN [away] asks, "What is "stilted", Vance>?"

VanceS [heveled] says, "but in a community of practice such as this, we are very loose, we enjoy it a lot, yet we accomplish goals"

DafneG says, "I like chats to be more informal, like f2f conversations, where topics come and go"

SusanneN [away] says, "Vam"

VanceS [heveled] says, "stilted, like walking on stilts, restrictive"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Same here, Daf."

BJB [to VanceS]: "much depends on the group you are with...some of the discussions here are very topic oriented"

VanceS [heveled] says, "we obviously enjoy this, we come every week, and we are not the kind of people who waste our time"

DafneG says, "I am getting involved in so many different topics with my online students these days"

VanceS [heveled] says, "well, things get accomplished in say Phil's webquests, nothing wrong there"

BJB . o O ( you might want to read a few of the transcripts in the After School Online transcript emailer )

SusanneN [away] says, "Vance, I do see our way of not having a strict line of orientation as a strength. This is much more like, meetng real people, than a face to face class where a teacher has the last word (and the first, too)"

VanceS [heveled] says, "but this is an alternative means of.C"

VanceS [heveled] says, "sorry"

DafneG says, "and they seem to enjoy the freedom of chats to practice their English"

VanceS [heveled] says, "of accomplishing something goal directed"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Susanne has a good point there."

SusanneN [away] says, "The atmosphere in these sessions is so free that we do not have to think too zseriously..."

BJB [HelpDesk] nods...I wasn't being critical. This informal discussion works for the webhead participants

VanceS [heveled] says, "me neither (not being critical) and agreed (it works for us)"

SusanneN [away] says, "yet come to know each other like just plain folks"

AidenY says, "but not to all those who come to TI"

VanceS [heveled] says, "(and maybe not for everyone)"

VanceS [heveled] says, "yes, agreed"

AidenY says, "you can't please everyone"

DafneG says, "my course is very goal oriented, but the chats are the way the students have to express themselves in non-academic topics"

JohnSte [webhead] asks, "Who wants to please everybody?"

VanceS [heveled] says, "BUT it's occuring to me that we are on to that new paradigm I keep alluding to, and that it's working, leads to tangible results"

SusanneN [away] says, "BJ, it is a very good thing to have a critical gaze at how things work now and then"

BJB [HelpDesk] sighs...the editor of the TAPPED IN Calendar, John

VanceS [heveled] says, "maybe even to improvement in English (Ying Lan?)"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "lol"

AidenY says, "no one, John. if they like it here, they staym, if they don't, they just simply leave with their recorders"

DafneG says, "students get more involved in negotiation of meaning in informal chats"

DafneG says, "they are not afraid to ask why they do not understand"

DafneG says, "what"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "I know too many people who can only speak academicese. They need to learn informal conversational skills."

DafneG agrees with John

VanceS [heveled] says, "Yeah, Daf and i were chatting the other day and remarking on the progress of her students"

SusanneN [away] says, "Definitely, John"

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "something I should point out...it helps if you think of TAPPED IN as a Community of Practice..."

AidenY says, "that's true, john. sometimes they forget how it is to be human"

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "that brings in a lot of other elements in addition to chatting"

VanceS [heveled] says, "and I said that most people think ituitvely that you can get closer to your students f2f"

VanceS [heveled] says, "when in fact ..."

SusanneN [away] says, "BJ, yes, and a community consists of many smaller units"

DafneG says, "and it is not so, Vance"

AidenY says, "it's true that the speed of communication. here in TI, is a bit fast for beginners"

VanceS [heveled] says, "yeah, I was sort of leaving a blank there, but in fact it's the opposite"

DafneG says, "the process of getting closer is faster in chats"

DafneG says, "I experienced that in Webheads, and now with my students"

AidenY says, "that's exactly how I felt with my class"

SusanneN [away] says, "Sometimes I feel tghat the absence of physical distraction can be an advantage! I dont have to look at you, to wonder why you took on that ugly pulll or whether you had a haircut lately, or why you did not have a hower more often, or had garlic for breakfast."

SusanneN . o O ( hower = shower )

VanceS [heveled] says, "and social dynamics too, people trying to impress or dominate, or look bad in front of others ..."

AidenY says, "yes, but it does not work for all. diferrent folks, different strokes."

SusanneN [away] says, "Also, I am here at home, in my well know surroundings. I am myslef, I can go to my own bathroom, or answer the door bell, or read the morning paper"

VanceS [heveled] says, "I like that aspect too"

VanceS [heveled] eats popcorn

SusanneN [away] says, "Even better, I have my own notes and books at hand"

JohnSte [webhead] drinkses coffee.

DafneG says, "Some of my students prefer working from home, while others prefer to work from the university computers"

VanceS [heveled] offers popcorn to BJB [HelpDesk], VennyS [: )], SusanneN [away], DafneG, Sweettooth [guest], AidenY, and JohnSte [webhead].

DafneG says, "some are more independent and some need the guidance of the f2f teacher"

VanceS [heveled] says, "particularly in OUR community of practice, we need to have interactants online we can summon at moment's notice too"

AidenY says, "i totally agrre"

DafneG waits to be offered pop corns

AidenY says, "i totally agree with you daf."

VanceS [heveled] asks, "speaking of which, I missed Claires iVisit thing last week. Did you go?"

SusanneN [away] says, "I read a Danish Ph,D about the hyperlinks as self referential actors in our online culture, the title is called " Digital delegates""

SusanneN [away] says, "It was a very interesting point, about knowledge sharing as a second order thinking"

VanceS [heveled] washes last of popcorn down with coconut juice

AidenY says, "no, i didn't, forgot, i think we should have constant reminders for this kinda stuff"

SusanneN [away] says, "That is one of the features we all admire here in TI; the URL projection. BUt also , other ways of sharing our instant thoughts are important"

DafneG . o O ( weird combination )

SusanneN [away] eats fresh grated carrots with strawberries

SusanneN looks engaged in reflective thinking.

DafneG says, "I am so grateful to this knowledge sharing"

RichardTY has arrived.

RichardTY's personal recorder (recording) has arrived.

SusanneN [engaged in reflective thinking] exclaims, "I see elizabeth may join us!"

DafneG says, "WB Richard"

ElizabethHa arrives from nowhere.

Elizabeth's R2D2 follows ElizabethHa to here.

AidenY says, "Madame Susanne"

DafneG says, "hello Elizabeth"

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "Hi, Elizabeth"

RichardTY asks, "What does WB mean?"

DafneG says, "welcome back"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Hi there Elizabeth."

ElizabethHa says, "Hi all-- I'm here to join you."

SusanneN [engaged in reflective thinking] says, "Welcome to our Philosophical Sunday school Elizabeth"

RichardTY asks, "Is there a lot of code to learn?"

DafneG says, "nice to "see" you Elizabeth"

VanceS [heveled] says, "Hi Li"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Not really, Richard."

BJB [to Richard]: "you don't have to know any code"

VanceS [heveled] says, "Liz"

AidenY asks, "wait, are you the real elizabeth or some alter-ego?"

ElizabethHa says, "c'est moi"

DafneG says, "it is very easy, once you get into it, Richard"

VanceS [heveled] says, "nmc"

VanceS [heveled] says, "(not much code)"

BJB . o O ( depends on what you want to do, Richard. If you are going to build on to your office, you might need a little code )

ElizabethHa says, "sorry I couldn't make it last week--family stuff"

SusanneN [engaged in reflective thinking] says, "After an hour of smalltalk we are now into a kind of very deep refelction about why our webheads way of relaxed conversation may lead to deep learning, too"

RichardTY asks, "You can get your own office?"

BJB [HelpDesk] nods to Richard. Any member can have a private office

DafneG says, "thanks for the links you shared in the Webheads list, Elizabeth"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Most of us do."

SusanneN [to Richard]: "a virtual office of one's own is so cool!"

BJB [to Richard]: "may I show you a webpage with information about what teachers can do in TAPPED IN?"

DafneG says, "I have my own Dafne's nook"

SusanneN [engaged in reflective thinking] says, "MIne is called Susanne's playground"

VanceS [heveled] says, "I never did come to grips with fixing up my office"

ElizabethHa says, "Maybe we should explore Susanne's office"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "I've been trying to change the name of my office, but can't."

RichardTY says, "Maybe next time. I don't have much time this morning. My son is pulling on my shirt."

BJB [HelpDesk] nods to Richard

DafneG asks, "now, we know you have a son, Richard. Where are you from?"

BJB [to John]: "go to your office and type /rename here to newname"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "That's always an indicator."

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Thanks, BJ."

RichardTY says, "From Riverside."

SusanneN [engaged in reflective thinking] says, "I think we can make an office visit later..."

DafneG asks, "Riverside?"

BJB [to Richard]: "you have an international group here!"

AidenY says, "that's where mmy husband grew up"

BJB . o O ( you'll need to be more specific than Riverside )

RichardTY says, "Oops. Riverside California."

DafneG says, "I am from Venezuela, living in Spain,Richard"

DafneG says, "we are overwhelming Richard"

AidenY says, "thanks, BJ"

SusanneN [engaged in reflective thinking] says, "Richard, take care! You can use the detach button to get a large second text screen"

RichardTY says, "Just detached and it still seems a little fast for me. Getting used to it."

SusanneN [engaged in reflective thinking] says, "Poor newbies! We are not slow paced here."

You hear a quiet popping sound; AidenY has disconnected.

AidenY has connected.

BJB [to Richard]: "two things that will help...one, you will get all the dialogue in your transcript..."

DafneG says, "wb Aiden"

AidenY says, "oooppps. wrong button ;-)"

SusanneN [engaged in reflective thinking] says, "So you can read a second time, in your own pace after the session"

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "and two, you can click on PASTEBOARD at the top of your text window and then APPEND TO PASTEBOARD...that will freeze the text that has been entered"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "And three, you can wait until Vance puts the transcript on our web page."

VanceS [heveled] says, "I use pasteboard to scroll back"

ElizabethHa [to John]: "How did you get a degree in Webheads? I mean, what's your diss on."

AidenY says, "well, gtgn"

VanceS [heveled] says, "ndgps"

JohnSte [webhead] asks, "Elizabeth, did you get the URL I typed in up above?"

ElizabethHa says, "Yes, thanks, John--I'll take a look later."

JohnSte [webhead] says, "ok. I hope you like it."

DafneG says, "she will, John"

ElizabethHa exclaims, "I'm in SF and getting ready for a day at the Berkeley arboretum--it's a gorgeous morning!"

SusanneN says, "It is a long story"

DafneG says, "it is raining here :-("

JohnSte [webhead] says, "It's sunny and hot here."

ElizabethHa says, "The rain in Spain..."

DafneG says, "it rhymes"

SusanneN says, "I need to take away some weeds in my herbal gerden"

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Although we do have a lot of overcast (dust from the Sahara)."

ElizabethHa says, "Anyone working with reading gonline? My latest project."

JohnSte [webhead] says, "Not me, although I am interested in it."

ElizabethHa says, "I've gotten a few replies from Webheads and will eventually put a paper together, I hope."

DafneG says, "my students are reading short texts online, but the focus is on writing"

ElizabethHa says, "It's amazing how stuff comes out of the woodwork once you start connecting with others online."

JohnSte [webhead] says, "My students are more into writing, also."

VanceS [heveled] asks, "Is that wha t you decided to go with?"

VanceS [heveled] says, "for the evonline/"

ElizabethHa asks, "Maybe I need a little questionnaire to see what students themselves notice?"

VanceS [heveled] asks, "?"

DafneG says, "good idea"

ElizabethHa says, "TO Vance that looks like the "Que?" that used to come into Faulty Towers."

DafneG says, "I will gladly give it to my students, El."

ElizabethHa says, "Thanks, Daf. I'll have to work on it."

SusanneN says, "For that purpose, I would prefer a questionaire with open neded questions for inspiration, not just "agree or not agree""

ElizabethHa [to Susanne-that's]: "sounds good. This would be more qualitative to begin with."

JohnSte [webhead] says, "That's always better."

DafneG totally agrees

VanceS [heveled] had better go back over the logs

ElizabethHa [to Vance:]: "what does "heveled" mean?"

SusanneN asks, "Vance, see how fast we are changing here, from silly swseet smalltalk to more serious matters?"

VanceS [heveled] says, "yeah, have to admit i got distracted"

VanceS [heveled] says, "I'll catch up here"

BJB [to Elizabeth]: "Vance was disheveled, but he got heveled"

SusanneN [to VanceS]: "I woke up last morning with a new term to describe this sunday class - antididactics - and I did find a few references,..."

SusanneN says, "Antididactics is an interesting word, Close to autodidact"

BrunellaM has connected.

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "Hi, Brunella. Welcome"

BJB [to BrunellaM]: "can we help you with something?"

ElizabethHa [to Susanne]: "I like that word--and very apt."

DafneG says, "hello Brunella"

SusanneN says, "If didactis is normally used to planned education with a specific purpose"

ElizabethHa asks, "Or maybe "antedidactics" -- before planned learning by someone else?"

VanceS [heveled] says, "maybe I'm not going back far enough in the logs, but I'm unable to find what my Que was about"

ElizabethHa [to VanceS]: "the Que was when you had a single "?" in the text."

BrunellaM says, "Hi, There is so much time that I don't come and so... I don't remember anything... (and sorry for my english...)"

BJB [HelpDesk] smiles. You're doing fine, Brunella.

VanceS [heveled] says, "oh, got you, it was because I typed a / instead of a ? in the line before"

VanceS [heveled] says, "sorry, I thought I had missed something"

ElizabethHa exclaims, "No problemo Brunella--and we were making up words anyway!"

VanceS [heveled] asks, "well, question was, if reading online is one of your current projects, does that mean you are thinking to do that as an evonline session?"

BrunellaM asks, "what have I to to do to find something about clear project?"

DafneG says, "gtgn, I am going to prepare "arroz al curry" for late lunch."

JohnSte [webhead] says, "See you, Dafne."

BJB [HelpDesk] asks, "can you tell us what the project is about, Brunella?"

BrunellaM says, "Clear"

BrunellaM says, "creative learning"

DafneG asks, "what time is the Carnival meeting tomorrow, BJ?"

BrunellaM leaves for the El.

BJB [to DafneG]: "Sus is doing a tours and tips session tomorrow"

ElizabethHa says, "!Oh, that might work. I've been talking with you guys and Christine about an EVOnline and I think that was one of the suggestions, combined with action Research. (I learn by doing.)"

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "the carnival meeting is Wednesday, July 3, at 6pm EDT"

ElizabethHa [to DafneG]: "wish I could join you."

DafneG asks, "GMT?"

ElizabethHa says, "for arroz, I mean--It's breakfast here."

DafneG says, "lol"

SusanneN says, "Yes, my tips & tours session is at 19.30 to 20.30 gmt tomorrow"

BJB [HelpDesk] says, "20:00 GMT for carnival"

BJB . o O ( I think ;-) )

DafneG says, "ok, I will check in the yahoo group"

VanceS [heveled] says, "I'll think about it myself"

VanceS [heveled] says, "it's a little late"

DafneG says, "thanks everybody, if anyone cares for my rice"
