Vladimir Mitic (15Jan13)
Hello,
A very useful first live session. Some things have been clarified.
One question though. Are there going to be recordings of the sessions? 'Cause I'll be at work for the second one, and several others.
@Vladimir
Hi Vladimir,
Yes, there will be recording of the live session, I asked before living the session today as I had a student waiting. And I think it's really useful because we can use the recordings as tutorials, in this particular case on how to deal with this wiki (Débora)
Maria Rita
I would like to thank Fernanda and Teresa for their clear and useful tour of these two tools. I will be playing around as you suggested to learn more about the potential of pbworks which I am particularly interested in. I have followed courses using wikis but I had never edited pages or created my own wiki.
Flávia Uhlman
Hello, everyone. I've got particularly interested in the wiki tool to explore with the aim of designing a course, which I particularly haven't done so far. I've already created a PBworks wiki for the Neuroscience in Education and will have a little more time to see how it works. Thanks for Teresa and Fernanda for this session and answer to my questions. Best wishes to you all.
Sarath
Thank you, interesting and informative. I am going to experiment with the wiki and see how it can be used. I have used yahoo groups in the past but, new to wiki.
Anzhelika Vladyko (Jan 15)
Thank you, Teresa and Fernanda, for such an inspiring beginning! The session has been really useful and informative.
Irina
Thanks Teresa and Fernanda for opening a whole new world to me. The tools and resources you mentioned are really useful. I started exploring Voki and I'm enjoying it. Thank you!
Lucia Quiroga (Jan. 16)
Yesterday's session was quite interesting since we were shown how to play with wikis and how to use yahoo groups. I also found it useful to start thinking about the purposes of our classes over the tool we would like to use (blog, wiki, etc.) Congratulations, Teresa and Fernanda!
Débora Tebovich
Thanks moderators for the live session, it was really interesting and useful, I am new to Yahoo groups, and instructions on how move around were very clear to follow, yet no warranty I am not going to need extra help. lol Regarding the use of the wiki, I got familiar with PBworks during EVO 2012, but still find it challenging, can't say why but I find Google sites much easier, but I will watch the recording of the session every time I can't find my way around. Thanks for your patience!
Özlem Zengin
Thanks a lot Teresa and Fernanda for your informative session. It is my fist time to be introduced wiki pb works, which I found quite interesting and have already started to explore.
Best wishes to all :)
Bernard Alsina
Very well presented sessions by experienced people who obviously know their way around. But my honest impression of Wikis is not positive I'm afraid. I have seen Wikis many times before and never liked the `look` and functionality of them, they seem to look dated and complicated compared to the latest software, forums etc. And I'm not sure teachers have the time to spend on teaching people how to use it, if you can't learn to use it quickly - like the popular web places are. Yahoo Groups looks more intuitive. I would like the tutorials to be more focused on practical uses in teaching, but maybe that's coming! :-)
Tatiana Kharlamova (Jan. 16)
Thank you, Teresa and Fernanda. I haven't got much experience with the wiki and PBworks so now I am going to explore it. But I need some time to digest the information and understand how it works. And Tutorials are of great help.
MARIJA HUZJAK-SABAN (Jan 16)
Dear Teresa and Fernanda. I feel like I can't say anything original ,about my first experience with teleconference that somebody hasn't already said. It is simply great! I feel like being at the bottom of a huge mountain and it's going to be hard to climb to the top, but who cares? There are such helping and caring people around. They will give me a hand from time to tome on this steep hill so I feel very positive about the outcome. Thanks a lot!!!
Miriam Sheen Cuba (jan 16)
First of all I want to thank the moderators for this great presentation, you were very patient to tour us along the wiki page, and this was crucial for me because I had some doubts about the page. I guess you show all the tools we can use in this wiki space even you make examples to understand better. Thanks again
Bob Lejkowski-Clark (Jan 16)
Thank you Teresa and Fernanda for taking the time to show us around these 2 sites. I don't remember seeing this one last year so it was very useful to have a refresher on PBwiki and Yahoo groups. I think it will certainly be of use to the newbies too!
Norah Andrade Arce ( jan 17)
Thank you Theresa and Fernanda for giving us such important information , I think this will help many people in the group, especially those who are not cyber , in my case I am not an expert but I try to do my best every single class because the new students’ generation like to learn with these kind of tools.
Argyriou Eleni (jan 17)
Teresa and Fernanda I just saw the recording of your session. Thank you for your detailed tour of how yahoo groups and wikis work.
Sneza Filipovic
Thank you Teresa and Fernanda for this wonderful tour. It"s so informative and clear. Like Bob, I can"t remember having it last year, probably missed it. Anyway, this is a great tutorial for beginners particularly!
Kristin Shitara (January 20th)
I have been using yahoogroups for a few years now, but I haven't really paid much attention to the "extra" features. It was interesting to learn about the calendar and the database functions. I will have to try them out. I am new to wikis. I think they are great. It seems like they make a great substitute for webpages for those of us who aren't web designers, but need a central location on the internet for organizational purposes. I'm looking forward to creating my own and learning the ins and outs.
Sabrina Wilson (Jan 20th))
I watched Teresa and Fernanda's presentation on January 16th but haven't had time to comment till now.
I thought the information was very well explained.
It's so good to see what was being explained and have it available as a recording to go back to if needed.
I have some ideas brewing for how to use this with my students.
Thanks very much!!!
Amany Abd Elhameid (20th Jan)
I'd like to thank you Teresa and Fernanda for this useful session . I watched the record and I beneficial for me but as a newbie I find myself somewhat slow at practicing some extra activities mentioned by Fernanda. Thanks for your help

Maria Rita (Jan 19)
It was nice to hear something about the history of Webheads in Action. You are pioneers. Thank you for sharing. With each live session, we get to know you better.
Kristin Shitara (Jan 20)
It was interesting to hear about the berry bush model of learning on the internet. I have not quite adjusted to it. It bothers me that I can't keep up with all the messages on the yahoo groups, yet I know that it is impossible for me to read comments from 240 some participants. I think it is difficult for some personalities to just pick a few good pieces of information and not worry about what they are missing. This is a new learning strategy for some people, but I suspect the younger generations who have grown up with the internet have already mastered this particular learning strategy. The webheads are a friendly and helpful group of people. I'm happy I joined the course.
Sabrina Wilson (Jan 20th)
I watched this (Vance's presentation) live on Thursday January 17th but only now have time to comment.
I loved hearing about the history. I have attended a few of the Sunday sessions that Vance hosts and they were all very interesting. I guess I'm a floater or lurker because I don't always contribute but hang around and listen. I feel I'm a bit in-experienced to add anything at the moment but hope this will change soon. I love the fact that we can watch live sessions we've missed as recordings because I can't attend all of them due to some of them being run during my work hours. I think there are about 260 people on this course and only about 30 could attend so everyone else can watch them when they get a chance. Brilliant!!!
Argyriou Eleni (Jan 20th)
Hi Vance!! I saw the recording of your session. I have joined EVO sessions since 2008 and I enjoyed this trip to the past and I also liked seeing colleagues from all over the world. What I remember is that at that time I didn't have a broadband connection and I was really stiving not to lose my connection and listen to moderators without pauses. Rough times make us stronger though.
