“If we don’t start, it’s certain we can’t arrive.” – Zig Ziglar
This quote has a lot of academic relevance to me during this point and time in my life. It reminds me that I need to act on my academic studies in order to arrive at receiving my degree in Language and Literacy.

Our second Elluminate session today had again a few technical problems. For starters, I could not get Dr. Rivera to hear me on my computer. The result? We all had to use Faye’s computer. This was frustrating because I really felt that we should have identified the problem so that I could have conveniently Elluminated on my computer during the session and the sessions to come. Another technical problem that remained constant during the session was the delay that Alan had mentioned in his blog entitled “Elluminate Session part deux”. The result? More frustration! Finally, one of the biggest technical problems that I found most impeding was how Elluminate was least effective when more than one person attempted to speak at one time. The result? Pure frustration!
Well, Ellumination Session Take Two aside; I actually look forward to the ‘Take Three’ Ellumination Session because I sincerely do believe that if we never started Elluminating in the first place, then how could we possibly arrive at getter better at it! ;)

I have to agree with your frustrations. There were too many problems with sound that affect my ability to really hear Dr. Rivera. The delay between sending and receiving the messages were an irritation because there were too many instances when the response was given before the complete message was received. However, it is a tool of communication that can be used to fill in the gaps between face to face sessions. I think that it would be a whole lot better to give a 15 to 30 prep time to iron out the kinks before starting the sessions.
