ETBS: techno-dance-party-hang-out

Another old-fashioned ETBS hang-out in which we get together with some Creative Commons-licensed music from Speedsound complements of Jamendo.

 

We also take Mikogo for a spin and take turns sharing desktops during a "global show and tell." Thanks to all who attended, and those in the chatroom:

 21:30:56  PeggyG : Sheila can show us how she did her recording from ustream :-)
 21:31:02  carolteach4 : @Sheila. I think it will. Our superintendent is also pushing teachers becoming versed in Moodle, and I hear Moodle is supposed to work with Google Apps, but I can't find any real info on how. Do you know?
 21:31:33  carolteach4 : No, it's not muted.

 21:38:55  carolteach4 : maybe - I have ATT Uverse
 21:39:28  carolteach4 : It's supposed to be great, but even download and watching YouTube videos is slow and choppy
 21:39:56  PeggyG : are you in Mikogo Carolyn?
 21:40:13  gripley : I have no idea what you are talking about!
 21:41:06  PeggyG : if you're watching in Mikogo and having problems with audio in ustream you can listen using ETT-A
 21:41:10  kcaise : jeff, have you had any problems with spyware/malware attached to the webcam updates or .exe files?
 21:41:11  sheila : @gripley - JL is sharing his desktop. You can see it on the ustream video OR you can join in on mikogo.
 21:41:23  carolteach4 : Nope, Peggy. I'm too tired to download anything else tonight. In fact, I gotta discipline myself and go get some work done. good night all.
 21:41:38  kcaise : every time i do a scan it always finds a problem with the webcam max files
 21:41:38  gripley : I can see it on mikogo, but not ustream
