AidenY [webhead] says, "that's what I want"

ArnoldM asks, "WebCT?"

AidenY [webhead] says, "but if it's with voice, got to narrow the

AidenY [webhead] says, "is there a way I could take a peek without
                        really barging in the office"

DonC says, "This group seems like experienced chatters."

AidenY [webhead] says, "good to know, Don, did you like it"

AidenY [webhead] says, "you can try this with your own students"

DonC says, "I doubt if my Japanese students would be so vocal."

You hear a quiet popping sound; SRI_172 [guest] has disconnected.
DonC says, "But I intend to try"

AidenY [webhead] says, "some of them are not talktative in class, don"

AidenY [webhead] says, "that;s what surprises me"

AidenY [webhead] says, "take it slowly,"

AidenY [webhead] says, "a few people at a time"

AidenY [webhead] says, "3-4"

DonC says, "I do think people will chat even when they won't talk."

BJB looks away.
DonC says, "My Online Enlgish course in April will probably just have
            3-4 people."

AidenY [webhead] says, "did you ask them, my students to join, it would
                        be nice to come from you"

AidenY [webhead] says, "if nit were to come from me, they'll feel
                        obligated"

DonC says, "I didn't bring up OneWorld as I thought it would be a bit
            too much like advertising."

AidenY . o O ( wonders where arnold has gone? )
BJB [away] wonders if anyone has tried out TI2 for a meeting place?

DonC says, "I'd be happy to invite them though if I had some addresses."

AidenY [webhead] says, "you could join sc_conversation@yahoogroups.com"

AidenY [webhead] says, "and invite them"

AidenY [webhead] says, "56+"

AidenY [webhead] says, "from my communication skills class"

            OneWorld"

DonC says, "I have great hopes for OneWorld."

DonC says, "I'd like to see a truly internation mix of people using it
            as a base of exploration."

ArnoldM says, "that wuld be great. don"

DonC says, "I'm trying to set the tone as not just another EFL site."

You hear a quiet popping sound; SRI_188 [guest] has disconnected.
ArnoldM asks, "how?"

ArnoldM asks, "how are you going to do that?"

ArnoldM says, "interesting..."

DonC says, "By avoiding terms like "student" and "native speaker" and
            "practice" and trying not to project any particular culture
            as the center."

ArnoldM says, "i see - a big challenge too"

DonC says, "It's a hard balance."

AidenY [webhead] says, "more like a discussion group without divisions"

ArnoldM asks, "balance between...?"

DonC says, "We want there to be something for "novice speakers" but also
            something that would bind "non-learners""

DonC ..Ors at least "non-students"
ArnoldM says, "you are using the terms you would like to avoid..."

DonC says, "I'd like something of the feel of Webheads but without its
            focus on technology."

ArnoldM says, "difficult that"

DonC says, "You won't find those terms on the site though."

ArnoldM exclaims, "good!"

AidenY [webhead] says, "something like efiwebheds without the terms
                        students and teachers"

ArnoldM says, "pedagogy first then"

AidenY [webhead] hugs buth

ArnoldM says, "soounds good to me"

DonC says, "Anyway, all I can do it make the site as attractive as
            possible -- a place people will want to bookmark and return
            to."

AidenY [webhead] hands some caipirinha for Daf

ArnoldM says, "thats the challenge, don, make it a USERS in the first
               place wuth plenty of interaction"

ArnoldM says, "USER site i mean"

DafneG takes a sip of iced-caipirinha

ButhainaA asks, "Hi Don..did you see wher I've linked OneWorld on my
                 homepage?"

You hear a quiet popping sound; SRI_3 [guest] has disconnected.
ButhainaA says, "Daf, what is this drink you're having/"

AidenY [webhead] says, "go home safely"

ButhainaA says, "Tomorrow I'll show it to my studetns at the C-Lab"

ChrisHua says, "ok"

TeresaAlm exclaims, "bye, everyone!"

AidenY [webhead] says, "i'll see you tomorrow chris"

DonC says, "It is still only the bare minumum though."

ChrisHua says, "sure"

You hear a quiet popping sound; TeresaAlm has disconnected.

            diversity."

DonC says, "that would be different today."

DonC says, "Holland must also be like this."

                           is supposed to be slower once more users get
                           on"

DonC says, "Yep.  Just a three minute walk home."

DonC says, "Strange I suppose."

DonC says, "But we got used to "compound" living in the Gulf."

ArnoldM says, "you are still sleepy stumbling into your classroom..."
