The Europeans and Tunisians are from 6 to 10 hours ahead of the North, Central and South American Continent presenters, so the Europeans and Tunisians should probably grab the presentation time slots that are earlier in the day…I agree.</div><div><br></div><div>Fortunately, the Symposium will be streamed live on YouTube, and it will be saved on YouTube too, so people can always view a presentation from the day before, if they get sleepy.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Because the design of the Symposium web pages and archive are dependent upon the scheduling, I went ahead and setup a schedule, but you all need to choose your time slots.</div><div><br></div><div>The SignWriting Symposium is streaming live from 15:00 - 23:30 UTC/GMT (8:00 - 16:30 PDT) July 21-24, 2014.</div><div><br></div><div>NOW IT IS NECESSARY for all of you to tell me the exact time and day you wish to present by looking at the schedule and finding slots that are blank and open...</div></div><div><br></div><div>Please see a pasted schedule here in this email, or go to this web page, which is under construction, and then write back to tell us when you want to present - I look forward to hearing from you - </div><div><br></div><div>SignWriting Symposium Schedule of Live Online Events, July 21-24, 2014</div><div><a href="http://www.signwriting.org/symposium/2014/Live_Streaming_Schedule.html">http://www.signwriting.org/symposium/2014/Live_Streaming_Schedule.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><table align="center" border="1" bordercolor="#99CC99" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="1" width="458"><caption align="TOP">

SignWriting List<br>
May 24, 2014<br>
<br>
Hello SignWriting List!<br>
I need your opinions - read below -<br>
<br>
I am delighted to tell you that we have 40 presentations…39 definite and 1 more perhaps… I will be closing the number at 40, so if there is someone who wants to present and has not submitted your Title write to me…there is still a chance.<br>
<br>
So let us start talking about the date and time your presentations will be streamed live online…<br>
<br>
Streaming 10 presentations a day, for four days, from July 21-24, 2014, will be amazing. Each live presentation will last around 30 minutes, and take some questions from viewers either by voice, sign language video or texting of some kind. We will try to have interpreters if we can. We will direct the viewers to each presentation’s web page to learn more about the topic, and the 30 minute live presentation will be on YouTube and your web page too, so it will live on ;-)<br>
<br>
One way to schedule this (and I would like your opinion), is to group the presentations by time zone and location of the presenters, to make it possible for presenters to present during their daytime hours… so this would mean a schedule like this:<br>
<br>
July 21 - 23 North, Central America, South America<br>
<br>
July 24 - Europe & Africa<br>
<br>
Kind of crazy - huh?<br>
<br>
The other way to do the schedule is to group it by subject:<br>
<br>
July 21-22 - Education<br>
<br>
July 22 - Literature<br>
<br>
July 23 - Research<br>
<br>
July 24 - Software<br>
<br>
and do it the same time each day and presenters will have to stay up at night to present in some cases -<br>
<br>
Have any of you had this experience before? I once stayed up to 3:00 in the morning to present in Tunisia in a conference, on Skype, and it was fine with me…but I was tired too...<br>
<br>
So please write to tell me your thoughts about streaming 40 presentations online live - should we schedule it by time zone?<br>
<br>
Val ;-)<br></blockquote></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>________________________________________________
