Thank you to Akio Yamanaka for taking pictures at the HyperMirror session at NECC and sending them to me. After the session, they opened the floor for attendees to come on camera and see what it is like. I wanted to try out the hand-clapping pattern for See See My Playmate.

I have expressed my frustration earlier that I could only use conference 1 for IP address dialing on my Tandberg MPS 32+32 MCU. I’ve also blogged previously about how we do VCs with everybody under the sun and usually they don’t want to/can’t register with my gatekeeper. In March 2006, with the new Tandberg J3.0 [...]

I didn’t get to see as many of the IVC showcase sessions as I wanted to. But there were two that I wanted to mention. I totally missed the Indianapolis Zoo session – but I heard that they have installed the chromakey or green screen technology. Very cool. Gotta go to the Indy Zoo again [...]

Here’s another neat NECC story from talking to people. At the fireworks party on the 4th of July I ran into Donna Farren, NY and Carol Scott, OK, who took my online class together a year or so ago – Planning Interactive Curriculum Connections. It was great to hear how they had kept in touch [...]
