Wrapping up the summer

We are wrapping up the summer session this week. It's shocking how quickly it has gone by!
Tonight we are giving our presentations on Web 2.0 tools. Hopefully, everything runs smoothly for all groups. But more probable is that a group or two will experience technical difficulty lol.

We are trying something pretty cool. We will be presenting using Eluminate. However, when we are presenting I will be using Solodox to view Aura's computer. So I will let the class view my desktop where I will have Solodox open. My Solodox will be viewing Aura's computer and everything she is doing. She will be showing proposal templates, etc. on her computer. The whole 6:00 class will be able to see everything she is doing. It is a very interesting concept.

Aura and I were talking about this last night. It is a little creepy that someone can view what you are doing on your computere without you really knowing. It's very "big brother". I was told at my previous elementary school that they could "see" everything at anytime. Creepy stuff...

  1. Solodox looks interesting. I'm looking forward to checking out Google Wave for collaboration once it comes out. Long somewhat technical video here :)

    Your old school very well could have been monitoring everything you do. Our company doesn't currently. They log all emails and web traffic, but I don't believe we have anyone to monitor it.

  2. Thanks Tim! I know it's pretty scary/interesting thinking about your boss watching your moves on the computer. Very big brother. But, I guess it can be a good thing to monitor those people that are less than honest and using the computer for other uses.
