In an age when event budgets are being cut and broadband Internet access is rising, webinars are becoming increasingly popular. I do rely a lot on the recordings. I miss the interaction and immediacy of being there live, but most still provide very useful learning for me. I have tried to put together few in sites on <a href="http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/Joseph90j-2281162-download-free-webinar-software/" rel="nofollow"><b>hosting a webinar</b></a>. Do check it and let me know your feedback.

I sent you the link separately on Twitter. Don't worry if you can't get through due to 'technical issues', but it would be great if I can get a few quotes.Teacher Philihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974417052087318872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220223360439038386.post-72800313752441823732012-07-28T04:41:36.927+03:002012-07-28T04:41:36.927+03:00Hi Phil - yes, I bought Nicky's e-book, but ha...Hi Phil - yes, I bought Nicky's e-book, but haven't had time to read it yet!!<br /><br />I'd be happy to talk to you. As you've probably gathered by now, I'm travelling at the moment. We're flying back to Vietnam tonight, so would probably be free some time tomorrow afternoon if that suits you.

I've only started using webinars this year as part of my MA programme and, subsequently, have been involved as a participant in a few. I've now hosted my first couple, using WIZiQ and am now using Blackboard Collaborate to carry out interviews for my dissertation on teachers' ICT use in ELT. I presume you know about Nicky Hockly's e-book which just came out - if not take a look - http://the-round.com/resource/webinars-a-cookbook-for-educators/ - meanwhile I am wondering if you would able to speak with me this weekend for 20 minutes online about the views you summarised for the #ELTchat on Dinosaurs and CPD. As you know, I've already quoted you and it could be nice to top and tail my reserach with quotes from you... ;-) if so send me a tweet - @teacherphiliTeacher Philihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03974417052087318872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220223360439038386.post-80128611965760279622012-07-25T12:47:06.526+03:002012-07-25T12:47:06.526+03:00P.S.

Unfortunately most are at unfavourable times for me in Australia as I value my sleep very highly :-) so I do rely a lot on the recordings. I miss the interaction and immediacy of being there live, but most still provide very useful learning for me.<br />Regards, LesleyLesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398883659899214375noreply@blogger.com
