One More Day! Here Is What You Need To Know About The On-line Forum!

Friday, September 30th Elluminate Live

In conjunction with the First International Club Foot Week, sponsored by the Ponsetti International Institute, will be an on-line forum  for adults with post-club feet, and any medical professionals who are interested in learning more about post-club feet and how it impacts the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this poorly-studied syndrome.


OK, everyone - here it is, the information about attending tomorrow's on-line forum. Please read everything so your experience will be of the highest caliber!!

The International Clubfoot Week Elluminate Live session information: The link to the session is:

https://globalcampus.uiowa.edu:443/join_meeting.html?meetingId=1262319908351 .

You won't be able to get into the session until a few minutes prior to the start of the forum.

Copy and paste this into your browser's URL field (or, if it appears in color, just click on it)  and hit Enter on your keyboard. To begin, sign in as a   guest   and use your first and last name as your username.

As far as trouble shooting goes, most of the issues that occur are that someone doesn’t have the latest java script downloaded. Just have them download that and the program will open. There is a link to the java script download on the entry screen. Here http://www.elluminate.com/Support/ and follow the directions. It's best to get this done today, so it won't slow you down tomorrow.

Also, another useful tip, make sure that you turn off your microphone when you are not talking. That produces a clear sound and eliminates feedback. And it is best to use a headset rather than open speakers, to reduce the possibility of an echo effect for everyone else in the session.

As far as webcams: the sessions will hold up to six video and audio connections at a time. As long as you already have a working webcam, you will be able to enjoy that part of the forum - I will be working to give all participants a shot with their video on-screen, so I will be asking folks to take turns. But as you will be able to see everything that is happening, even if you don't have a webcam, you will still be a part of the experience.

The entire forum will be recorded for later playback, so if you can only attend for a short time, you can always go back to see what you missed. Remember to let your health care people know about this, as well.

Everything kicks off at 10 AM Pacific time. That will be different for every time zone, so do the conversion early! To check on the time in your time zone, go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html and input San Francisco, and 10 AM, then click the Convert Time button - that's all there is to it!!

 Please pass this info on to your doctors, other clubbies you may know, and be there, or B Square!!!Q :-)

 Thank you all for your help, and I am really looking forward to what we might be able to accomplish with this first (first!!) forum. See you tomorrow!! And keep spreading the word!!
