SteveEdiger : Hi Jeff, I haven't tuned into Worldbridges in a while. How are things going?  Since I started listening, I've taken a position of IT Director at United World College in Montezuma, NM.  Its a great school (92 nationalities represented in 11 and 12).  As soon as I get some hardware/internet bandwidth problems straightened out, I'll be introducing some of these technologies.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: I agree, Nina.
NinaLiakos : The U of Maryland is going to switch to internet based phones in the next year or so
pj23harry [Paul]: Another resource for videoconferencing is something called Flashmeeting run by the Open University in the UK
NinaLiakos : Didn't webheads try it out during a DSunday chat once? not very successfully?
GrahamStanley [Graham]: flashmeeting is fabulous - no downloads necessary, low bandwidth
NinaLiakos : missed Robin Good
 GrahamStanley [Graham]: we used it during TESOL EVO - it works very well now
pj23harry [Paul]: I have used flashmeeting with schools in Europe as well as a link with teachers in New Zealand
NinaLiakos : like YouTube?
GrahamStanley [Graham]: it looks more like a collection of links Nina
nellieuller [Nellie]: what flash meeting do you use?
GrahamStanley [Graham]: http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/
GrahamStanley [Graham]: you need to apply for an account, Nellie

nellieuller [Nellie]: page is not displaying
GrahamStanley [Graham]: Nina, you might have 'high priority' selected as the default on Spybot
nellieuller [Nellie]: that's great
GrahamStanley [Graham]: I have 'normal' selected and it's not bothering me
NinaLiakos : Graham, I have no idea how I set it.
NinaLiakos : Is "normal" enough?
GrahamStanley [Graham]: you can always set it back later nina
GrahamStanley [Graham]: select 'advanced mode' and then go to settings - then you'll see it
NinaLiakos : I saw my class on Dekita!
pj23harry [Paul]: In Europe there is something called e-twinning.net where schools/classes partners can be found.
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: E-twinning.net sounds very interesting.
GrahamStanley [Graham]: e-twinning is just for schools, isn't it, Paul?
pj23harry [Paul]: On e-twinning once you have registered and found a pertner you have a Twinspce where you can manage your project.
GrahamStanley [Graham]: Dekita is a way for academies, university groups, etc. to find others
NinaLiakos : Mohamed Yunus' idea of microlending
SteveEdiger : eliminate the middleman
NinaLiakos : You would need a middle man like Grameen Bank to teach the borrower how to be a good borrower
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Jamglue: What a fascinating possibility!
NinaLiakos : Grameen has a 95% return rate on its loans
SteveEdiger : That's great. My 12 year-old son is working on an idea like this.

nellieuller [Nellie]: Hi Priscilla (Elderbob1)
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: Hi, Nellie!
Moderator (SessionLeader): I catch something different each time I watch it.
Daf : me too, elizabeth
GrahamStanley [Graham]: this video recetly won a Wired 'Rave 2007' award
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: We just made a CBT (Computer Based Training) video for NPL (Non-patent literature--anything but a patent) but I like this one's music much better!
GrahamStanley [Graham]: http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/multimedia/2007/04/ss_raves?slide=14
derice : Ah yeah I remember watching this video: it is great!
Moderator (SessionLeader): Who will organize the data--us
Moderator : I am surprised this video hasn't won a prize yet - so compelling!
GrahamStanley [Graham]: it's been watched more than 1.8 million times on You tube
dougsymington [Doug]: teach the machine--love that concept
nellieuller [Nellie]: I should add to my cell phone. LOL
nellieuller [Nellie]: Good for Internet addicts like me.
Moderator : those last few statements are jarring... great for class discussion at any level
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: That was great!
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: And then there's Web 3.0—"The Semantic Web"
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Check the link.
lesteves : Excellent ELizabeth thanks for that!
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Yes, definitely excellent!
NinaLiakos : I enjoy that video
GrahamStanley [Graham]: Dennis, I thought Web 3.0 was going to be the 3D Web (Second Life, etc)?
NinaLiakos : So did I
nellieuller [Nellie]: Excellent!
Moderator (SessionLeader): It's a great video--and I first saw it because of Webheads
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: I teach automated information systems, intuitive and interactive software.
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: It could be.
Moderator : there is some argument about the next version of the webà
Daf : can you tell us about web 3.0 dennis?
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: we use videos like this one for demos, but I lOVE this one
nellieuller [Nellie]: Priscilla, do you have a mic?
Moderator : semantic web is still a nebulous idea - or so I have been told
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Yes, it's still nebulous as far as I know.
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: See this:
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: "The semantic web is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web in which web content can be expressed not only in natural language, but also in a form that can be understood, interpreted and used by software agents, thus permitting them to find, share and integrate information more easily.[1] It derives from W3C director Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the Web as a universal medium for data, information, and knowledge exchange."
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: Yes, Nellie, I have a mic
Moderator (SessionLeader): Thank you!'
Moderator : can anyone REALLY predict the next version??
Moderator : could anyone have predicted the huge success of apps such as youtube and skype??
GrahamStanley [Graham]: only with hindsight, Elizabeth
 
dougsymington [Doug]: the thing is that people are becoming their own "software agents"
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: And this:
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: http://tinyurl.com/3bwd8l
NinaLiakos : Did Tim Berners-Lee predict what the web would become?
Moderator (SessionLeader): Making connections
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: From the above,
Moderator : because of the contribution of hte grassroots that makes it so unpredictable
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: "The transformation will happen in one of two ways. Some web sites will follow the example of Amazon, del.icio.us and Flickr and will offer their information via a REST API. Others will try to keep their information proprietary, but it will be opened via mashups created using services like Dapper, Teqlo and Yahoo! Pipes. The net effect will be that unstructured information will give way to structured information - paving the road to more intelligent computing. In this post we will look at how this important
Moderator : wikis are so flexible
Moderator : and they permit discussion
Daf : I am a wiki-nut
NinaLiakos : What's a mashup?
NinaLiakos : Is that like a coconut, Daf?
 
dougsymington [Doug]: taking pieces of "media" and "mash" them together
nellieuller [Nellie]: a tossed salad
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: From Wikipedia,"A mashup is a website or application that combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience."
Moderator : remix to remake
NinaLiakos : Hot Potatoes + mashup = ?
NinaLiakos : (don't forget the milk)
GrahamStanley [Graham]: someone has made a mashup of Google maps (or Earthg) and audio - so you can have sounds when you look at the places
lainemarsh : creates a full learning environment - wikis
Moderator : hot potatoes are mashed up into moodle
NinaLiakos : I am so behind!
NinaLiakos : This learning curve is steep
Moderator : very hard to keep up
Daf : we are all newbies re technology
nellieuller [Nellie]: that's why these conferences are so great
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: but so fun to try
NinaLiakos : hard to stay on top of it
NinaLiakos : Yes, fun
Daf : F.U.N
GrahamStanley [Graham]: and there's a video site where you can overlay comments, add speech ballons, etc (forget the name at the moment)
NinaLiakos :
 
Moderator (SessionLeader): It's a real conundrum
GrahamStanley [Graham]: to any Internet accessible video
pj23harry [Paul]: yes it is fun to find new applications and pass them on to others
elderbob [Elderbob]: There are two elderbob's here....has someone taken my identity
lainemarsh : I worked as an indexer once and we had an official listwe had to choose from
dougsymington [Doug]: Graham, is it Crowdabout?
Moderator : yes, thought it might be crowdabout
Daf : always correcting us
lainemarsh : LInguists have an IPA - Int'l Phonetic Alphabet; I am sure we can come up with some universal set of symbols or terms
nellieuller [Nellie]: especially with EFL
nellieuller [Nellie]: It's always asking me to search for ESL
Moderator : I am not sure there CAN be any systematized organization of the data - I think we are moving to personal customized knowledge spaces on the web
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: Some of the intuitive searching software (proprietary) automatically looks for different spelling, singular and plural, etc.
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: This is what I teach the Examiners of patent applications to use
elderbob [Elderbob]: Thats the other elderbob speaking....
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: well, not usually for a patent app
nellieuller [Nellie]: that's Priscilla, Elizabeth not Elderbob1
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: See this one:
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: http://www.agtivity.com/def/mashup.htm
GrahamStanley [Graham]: no, Doug - can't remember the name (am seraching for it at the moment)
Daf : your alter ego, bob
elderbob [Elderbob]: There are two elderbobsx
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: I'm sorry--I don't know how I usurped Elderbob's name!
nellieuller [Nellie]: I sent elderbob's link to Priscilla
Moderator : (and I don't know how I came in as a moderator!!)
elderbob [Elderbob]: Are you Priscilla?
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: I just joined and it named me Elderbob the 2nd
 
elderbob [Elderbob] 1: yes
Daf : funny
elderbob [Elderbob]: and I am elderbob
NinaLiakos : This is way too confusing for me
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Or this (from PCMag Encyclopedia)
NinaLiakos : I am going to dinner
elderbob [Elderbob]: Maybe its a mashup
Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: "Definition of: mashup
A mixture of content or elements. For example, an application that was built from routines from multiple sources or a Web site that combines content and/or scripts from multiple sources is said to be a mashup. The term became popular in the 2005 time frame."
nellieuller [Nellie]: Sorry, my fault for sending Elderbob's link
NinaLiakos : I'll see you later
NinaLiakos : Thanks for a very interesting session, ELiz.
nellieuller [Nellie]: it's second life, right?
elderbob [Elderbob]: This is starting to sound like the beginning of a science fiction movie

SteveEdiger : great wiki, I'll look at it later
nellieuller [Nellie]: It's mirror ids
dougsymington [Doug]: thanks for a wonderful session Elizabeth, and all

elderbob [Elderbob] 1: This is my first time joining any of these presentations, thanks to Nellie's invitation, and I must say that I have learned a lot in a short time--I now know what a mashup is!
Moderator (SessionLeader): Graham--why don't you talk about personal customize knowledge spaces?
