Question: How did you find your first live chat practice?

Keywords: , ,

  1. Good, assuming that the chat closed shortly after Krystal’s video was posted, rather than something booting me out.

  2. It goes by so quickly! Excellent to get a feel for how the conversation will flow and a good opportunity to ask questions to sarah. One strange thing: I got logged out and a weird message appeared “You should learn to count before use the shoutbox :)” – Am I in the naughty corner already?

  3. Pretty good, good practice, informative.The linkage bit might be an issue,but as I don’t have videos of cancer cells it should be ok 😀

  1. Towards the end of each real chat session, the administrator will post a reminder that it’s about to end. But we will the shut it down right on time so we don’t overwhelm you if you are booked for many chats. You need your rest!

  2. Our class was meant to be doing a chat all lesson but it didnt work? any reason for that? Well, we were under the assumption that we were doing that because we had a relief teacher. He might not have booked a session at all!

    • @Tradie- The event starts Tuesday 14 June. There are no student chats scheduled before then. The only chats we conducted this week were brief tests to give the scientists a feel for the system.

  3. @Krystal – That’s a strange message – we’ll look into it.

    Links aren’t normally a problem, but I’d advise against using too many. You don’t want the students disappearing off and they’ll never be able to come back and fin the link later. Perhaps offer to put links in your profile?

  4. Hi @tara and @darren,
    You’ll be fine! it will be rapid-fire, crazy, fun; you can direct answers to specific kids using the @ tag, or just answer in a general sense. one of us (sarah, kristin, james) will be moderating. ignore questions you are not comfortable with (the odd strange one may crop up – we can delete as appropriate).
    Hope you’re feeling better @tara.

  6. Are there any chat sessions scheduled for tomorrow? I would love to chat, but I’m also running a couple of experiments, so I need to plan it all out!

  7. @tara and @krystal check this page here: https://imascientist.org.au/live-chat/ and click on the sessions to indicate your availability.

    some schools have been slow in getting back to us, so we may get hammered with chat requests tomorrow. wait and see! all you can do is fit in what you can, you can’t be everywhere and we know that.

    planning to send out an email update tonight/tomorrow explaining the chat update situation too.
