18:54:24 CathyE -> EdTechTalk: skype cevanoff
18:56:19 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: I tried you CathyE?
18:59:14 CathyE -> EdTechTalk: http://www.yugma.com/app/loading.php?user=&role=0&collsession=121985832
19:01:29 Durff -> EdTechTalk: hey
19:01:37 Durff -> EdTechTalk: music on ETTA
19:01:40 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: Hi
19:01:53 Durff -> EdTechTalk: is that you cath?
19:02:00 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: I don't get a yugma link in the right hand side for some reason
19:02:12 Durff -> EdTechTalk: hi mr webcaste wonder
19:02:48 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: lol
19:02:55 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: dont get too carried away there Lisa
19:03:41 CathyE -> EdTechTalk: http://www.yugma.com/app/loading.php?user=&role=0&collsession=121985832
19:04:15 Durff -> EdTechTalk: i can't, i'm eating
19:04:40 Durff -> EdTechTalk: doesn;t carry well
19:04:45 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: what's on the menu tonight Lisa?
19:05:27 Durff -> EdTechTalk: ww couscous with vegie bouillon and maderin vegied
19:05:53 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: ooh - nice, except need some beef medallions on the side ;-)
19:05:54 Durff -> EdTechTalk: vegies
19:06:06 Durff -> EdTechTalk: ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
19:06:36 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: nicely seared on both sides so it's still pink on inside :D
19:06:55 CathyE -> EdTechTalk: http://www.edtechtalk.com/node/1864
19:07:08 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: you must realise Lisa that Aussies are BIG meativores!!
19:08:31 Durff -> EdTechTalk: carnivore!
19:09:17 Durff -> EdTechTalk: i'm listening on the stream, cathy
19:09:26 Durff -> EdTechTalk: skype not being nice
19:09:38 CathyE -> EdTechTalk: thanks for the info
19:09:55 Durff -> EdTechTalk: personality conflict
19:10:18 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Yeah, I like trainings where I get the software. I think in most my district does they do give it to you.
19:10:35 Durff -> EdTechTalk: why?
19:10:43 Durff -> EdTechTalk: software is opensource
19:10:59 Durff -> EdTechTalk: now if they give you hardsware....
19:11:11 Durff -> EdTechTalk: that would be soooo nice
19:11:39 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: true - hardware is more valuable than software these days
19:11:43 Durff -> EdTechTalk: i have to do faculty training this year
19:11:48 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Not the stuff I get trained on, but even if it was, like when I do a podcast training, I'm going to give them either flash drives or CD with Audacity/LAME so they don't have to d/l it.
19:12:09 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: The stuff I get trained on is not always open source. I got Inspiration that way
19:12:11 Durff -> EdTechTalk: Mojopac
19:12:29 Durff -> EdTechTalk: will put it on a flashdrive
19:12:42 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Mojopac will put what on?
19:12:51 Durff -> EdTechTalk: any app
19:12:53 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Cathy, I'm not seeing anything in Yugma?
19:13:03 Durff -> EdTechTalk: like audacity
19:13:10 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: Alice, whats software are we talking about?
19:13:12 Durff -> EdTechTalk: i heard SL too
19:13:21 Durff -> EdTechTalk: though that seems large
19:13:30 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Yeah, but it's easier if I add it rather than telling them to go to Mojopac
19:13:39 Durff -> EdTechTalk: yes
19:13:41 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: Inspiration - can use gliffy.com, freemind (free download), mindmeister.com
19:13:56 Durff -> EdTechTalk: i like that one too
19:14:02 Durff -> EdTechTalk: and bubblus
19:14:16 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Jason, can you add video, and how much graphic control do those have?
19:14:28 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Becuase NOTHING i've seen online is as good as Inspiration.
19:14:42 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Mindmeister only has limited free time.
19:15:07 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: no, I agree, not as good as inspration - wasn't aware inspiration did video insert though, I know you can put audio attached to symbols which is fantastic feature
19:15:15 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: And it's only advantage is the ability to share, but since it requires emails (which is difficult to manage with elementary) that's not always doable.
19:16:07 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: I can't see dig it.
19:16:20 AliceMercer -> EdTechTalk: Yugma session is not up anymore for any of us I think?
19:16:39 Jason Hando -> EdTechTalk: I can't get Yugma working but no surprise - never works for me
19:17:33 Durff -> EdTechTalk: hi again
19:17:49 Terry -> EdTechTalk: greetings
19:18:11 CathyE -> EdTechTalk: hello Terry
