So read the paper above and go to the chat room with World Without Borders. There will be Kano sensei and other participants. Since WWB is open to everybody I would like to invite whoever is interested in this kind of topic.

Where to go

This event is open to anybody who is interested in the topic. Please go to World Without Borders meeting place at the following URL. http://www.worldwithoutborders.com/calendar/sensei.shtml . If you are not already registered, you have to get a screen name and password. Please keep this information for the future record. Then once you get to Conference Room A and you will see a link from there. A Java enabled browser, such as Netscape 3.0 or higher is required to enter the chatroom.

This event is hosted by World Without Borders and sponsored by Apple Computers, Inc. Higher Education. The Meeting Place is the place to come for ideas, product info, to discuss the issues, to air concerns. This weekly educator's roundtable, sponsored by The Apple Learning Community Connection, is the place to find out how Apple products and technologies can help institutions enhance learning opportunities and advance educational innovation. Educators of all platforms are welcome. "If learning is an act of exploration, then technology equips the explorer for the journey of a lifetime."

To participate in Web chat you need Netscape or Internet Explorer versions 3.0 or above with java enabled. The computer itself also needs enough CPU power and available RAM memory. Yet those at institutions behind firewalls may also find that Web chat access is blocked.

This Web chat provider can "push" URLs from within a chat room, automatically opening another browser window when you click on an address starting with http://, so you can chat while viewing Web pages corresponding to the session. Some rooms have options below the chat window such as choosing the color of your words. WWB Chat staff members are always on hand at sessions to help you.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Manager of SenseiOnline, Keiko Schneider at kschnei@sabotenweb.com
