POD Project 8: TokBox

This was a little bit odd. I actually managed to sneak some time at school and get online with a laptop that had voice but no video capacity. I logged on to the address that Ken provided and though - good there's someone on already. I could see a man with a beard sitting in what appeared to be an office more or less looking like he was waiting for things to happen. Anyway he must have twigged that he was online and that I was looking at him. He ended up saying something like "Oh, I've been online this whole time. How embarrassing ..." And then he disconnected. I'm still not sure what that was about.
I ended up logging off and taking care of some student behaviour management. One of the nice things about TokBox is that you don't have to download anything or install anything - and it was quick to set up on - even if you aren't using your regular computer. All this just reinforces the idea that there is an enormous range of Web 2.0 communication options out there. A suitable Web 2.0 mix can potentially be put together for almost organisation / set of needs and concerns. I think.
