Robotics Online Conference

Hi Teams, Coaches, & Mentors,

I am running an online conference with Elluminate Live on October 19, 2010 at 7:00pm for LEGO robotics teams in Newfoundland and Labrador. I will be talking about the partnership between NL Skills Canada and FIRST LEGO League (FLL) NL, discuss some issues around this year's competition, provide some tips, and finsih with a Q&A session.

I recommend you use headphones with a mic if you have a set. If you don't you should at least have the sound working on your computer so you can hear the presentation. To make sure follow the instructions in the document and do an audio test when you get into the E-Live room.

I will be in the room early to prepare for my presentation. Please connect at least 10 minutes before the meeting to make sure you have no technical problems. I will want to start promptly at 7:00pm.

This online conference is also the first one in a series sponsored by the Technology Educators Special Interest Council (TESIC) at the NLTA. Also thanks to Jim Murphy at the VTV and CDLI for their help and support.

See the information below for accessing the E-Room:
