Date: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 10:35 PM



This Thursday, October 4, John Hibbs will be holding a dress rehearsal for
his Global Learn Day 5 during our usual chat time.  You are welcome to join
in at his chat room http://www.bfranklin.edu/textchat.

Last Thursday, September 27, Keiko Schneider provided us with a guided tour
of TAPPED IN (http://www.tappedin.org), an online conference center hosting
an international community of education professionals. There teachers,
librarians, professional development staff, researchers and students engage
in professional development programs and informal collaborative activities
with colleagues and attend online discussions and classes. You can see
instructions on how to connect to TAPPED IN, as well as the raw transcript
of last week's discussion at http://www.samizdat.com/chat202.html

Next week, Oct. 11, Dan Kalikow will demo and discuss Steve Yost's Quick
Topic (QT) and QT Doc Review (QTDR).  Please try to connect beforehand (the
sooner the better) to check out the demos that Dan has prepared. As Dan
explains:

"If there's some interesting asynchronous discussion already visible there,
it'll make for a more fruitful synchronous discussion and demo in the actual
event.  Here are
the pointers:

"There's a standard Quick Topic discussion underway at
http://www.quicktopic.com/9/H/t2aEmBgJkrG3 Its title is Richard Seltzer's
'Business on the
Web.'  The purpose of this Topic is to demo and discuss the features of
basic Quick Topic.

"I've also written a "guinea-pig" doc for use in demonstrating QTDR -- and
uploaded it there.
Its TITLE is Demo, R. Seltzer's Oct. 11 '01 Chat The reviewable form of the
doc is at http://www.quicktopic.com/9/D/UkdRKy5kXwBg.html  Take a look, make
a comment!

"The Comment Forum for the doc can be found at
http://www.quicktopic.com/9/H/UkdRKy5kXwBg

"Please check them out, make whatever comments, and ask whatever questions
you like; I'll participate too, and with a will! I'm hoping that we can get
a good,  asynchronous discussion and doc-review going prior to noon on the
11th.

"Please feel free to pass this invitation, and these pointers, to others who
might be interested in learning about these imho extraordinarily valuable
tools."

Please let me know your suggestions for other guests and topics. I'm looking
for interesting and innovative business models, products, and services.
seltzer@samizdat.com In particular, Please let me know if you have contact
names for P2P businesses such as Groove, Hotcomm.

We meet on Thursdays from noon to 1 PM Eastern Daylight Time (GMT -4).

Transcripts of past chat sessions are available at

topics, and requests to receive email reminders about upcoming
sessions.
