Yahoo Facilitator:
is 1 Person per conference (ie, a job for 1 person
each time you meet simultaneously online = synchronous chat will act as
facilitator. This means You, the facilitator, must be the only person to
invite others into the conference - otherwise you'll have several
conferences going, when you really need everyone in one room/space. So
what does the facilitator do?
Everyone who is on your team should be appearing as logged into Yahoo
messenger (ie, their smiley face is lit up). You need to go to the top
bar, select tools, select invite to conference. It will open a dialog box
which lists everyone currently logged on in a column on the left. Just
highlight the ones you want included (probably everyone) and click the
Add>> button and it will move their names (Yahoo IDs) over to the right.
When all the correct names are on the right, click the INVITE button at
bottom. (Note: you may enable voice messaging or talking by leaving the
left bottom button clicked. If you don't have headphones w/ microphones
you cannot do this. If you forget to turn it off - no biggie deal - it
will simply remain inactive.)
Keeping a Record of
your discussion. (This only works w/ text chat.)
Once logged into messenger, each person who wants a copy of the
discussion, needs to go to the top of the messenger log in box, select
Preferences, and then archiving. Click on the top check box which says,
Enable Archiving.
WARNING:
Please pay attention to the Yahoo IDs of your
group. Be aware that Yahoo is just like any other chat room. You can
easily wander into rooms where the vocabulary doesn't revolve around
education. That's ok, if that's what you want, but if you want to talk
to your group don't go clicking on other chat rooms. Yours will be private
unless you actively choose to make it otherwise. :) Easy Breezy! Happy
Chatting! Jo :)
