Tanberg in the media

I noticed a Tandberg being used during a show I watched right before the super bowl. Some managers were having an employee use a handheld camera with a cord and a headset to show the managers in a distant place what was happening on teh production floor. The managers could see what was going on and could talk with the tech but the tech could not see the managers. I know it was a Tandberg because the screen on thier laptop had the same menu as I see and even had Tandberg displayed in the bottom corner of their laptop screen. Anyway, Tandberg in the real world. neat!

I finally did it

I finally did it I have done my first videoconferencing. It went well. I did it between my two classes with the help of my partner teacher at IVHS. My kindergartners had a really good time and even warmed up to the process so well that by the time to log off they were asking questions of the high schoolers and having no problme talking to the camera. It was so much fun and I hope that they told thier parents about it. I have not had tinme to talk with my HS kids but I iwll today. hey seemed to enjoy it. The bad attitude boys in the back even had a good time. One even smiled(which he never does)

Testing Testing

So I finally did a test with the esd today and it was a good thing that I did because our Tandberg machine was wired a little wrong. The Ethernet cable was plugged into the ISDN port on the back of the computer instead of into the Ethernet slot. We fixed that and then had a quick conference and now I think that I am ready to do my first real conference on Thursday
