The beginning of Vance Steven's Technology Fair Presentation, Webheads in Action: Community development online, at the 8th Annual TESOL Arabia International Conference: "Critical Reflection and Practice". Abu Dhabi, UAE, 21 March 2002.

On line are Vance, Dafne in Valencia (Spain) and Teresa in the Lisbon area (Portugal). It is 10.00 a.m. in Abu Dhabi, but 06.00 GMT for us in Europe!!!

The sound seems to be working all right. But not always.

This was my first participation in a Conference through videoconference. It was very exciting and interesting!

In the meantime, Arthur McKeown, in Ulster, joined us. Four Webheads in Action!!!

Vance is busy explaining the Webhead community, demonstrating this new tool and inviting people to talk with us. 

All along the presentation, Arthur and I maintained our own private chat on the side, and talked about his upcoming presentation at the IATEFL Conference. Busy, busy, busy!!! Good luck, Arthur! I'll send my comments a.s.a.p.

Vance and some Conference participants at the Tech Fair. I had the pleasure of talking with all of them. Arthur talked to a few and poor Dafne seemed to have had connection and sound problems, so she wasn't very lucky.

so I'm sorry to say I missed the names of the people I talked to.

If any of you see this page and are willing to identify yourselves, please send me an email.

 

The end of Vance's presentation. Arthur's enthusiasm with these new synch tools is obvious.

I hope I've demonstrated all along this page how I feel about them and all the possibilities they open up for ourselves, more importantly, for our students.

Congratulations, Vance, on a job well done! Once again, thank you for having introduced us into this exciting feature of new technologies.  :-))
