Video Bridging - count-down May 8, 2011
sorry it didn't work out for us to link up last week on first thursday as we'd hoped. when can we connect instead before friday?
do you want a skype talking chat, or skype type, or etherpad, or..... ???? what suits you best?
BTW anyone can set up an ether pad at http://etherpad.openstewardship.net/
I'm probably out most of monday may 9th until about 7.30 pm. what is your week looking like ref availabilty?
Your teachers link-up is the high spot of my week - or very possibly high spot of my month .. or much longer.. you might struggle to believe how much it rejoices my heart to know about it and be included in your planning - and who knows - maybe able to be one of your "grasshoppers on the wall".

Dear Dan, David and Pam, I hope you are all doing good.
I am organising a web meeting/video conference meeting between teachers in Denmark and Kenya on the 13th May.
The Kenyan teachers are from the schools in Kibera that Nafsi run Acrobatics training programs.
And the Danish teachers are from the schools that are under an educational project called "under the same sky" by O3V (www.o3v.dk) which i am involved with.
The project allows students in Danish schools to connect with their counterparts in Kibera.I would like to get tips from the "Teachers talking" web meetings you have previously organised.
The Scenario is; The teachers in Kenya have no equipment and would like to connect with the teachers in Denmark.
Nafsi will manage the aspects of the meeting from the Kenyan side.
The teachers in Kibera will provide a venue (probably one of the schools).
Nafsi will provide equipement, we are thinking of using the Safaricom modem connected to a laptop then projecting the information from the monitor onto a big screen.
Again, we are not sure if the safaricom service can take a higher data rate or if we would be faced by an "on and off " network
Could you advice or guide us on how you have done it before to enable us get the best out of your event.Peace,
Ken Owino
