Hi Ian,

Yeah, we should have definately contacted you earlier. Just going through growth challenges. Any way, Wiziq would be very happy to partner with you. Let me know what you have in mind. We would love it if your guys would use our technology for your VC needs and do a few Wiziq public sessions to help attract more people to your group and invite the online audience to your areas of expertise and interests.

Hi Ian,

Have you ever tried WiZiQ's Virtual Classroom? I would be interested in your view of it compared to sketchcasting.

Sorry! Of course I do not think you are monsters! The easy set up will help me "sell" your productivity sire to the teachers at my school. I am the librarian for a K-8 school in Los Angeles, CA. I help teachers, many of whom are not tech-savvy, understand and use 2.0 tools to reach their digital native students as well as make their own jobs easier. Yacapaca looks like a great tool. Especially since teachers have an easy set up and choices to use pre-created content, self-authored content, collaborative of independent fields. Keep me posted! - L

Whoa...Yacapaca looks incredible. I am right in assuming the administrative set up is extensive initially as teachers input students data and create/find assessments, but that the return is equally great in time saved by not grading papers and having visual and real-time projections of achievement?

Hi Ian,

Nice to find like-minded people out here! I saw your profile...tell me about yacapapa...what kind of assessment? I'm interested...

You're the face behind Yacapaca!

I joined Yacapaca and, once time slows down for me, will implement its great functions. Gratefully, MC

Hi, Ian
I followed your Chalkface project which led me here. I love Yacapaca so much and find a lot of useful stuff from your project.

Thanks again. I will continue to be a fan of Yacapaca. :)

Hello Ian,

You say there are no computers in the schools in Ukraine. Do students have computers at home? And do they engage in social networking like their Western counterparts?

Thanks, it's been a good thread so far I think.

The best way to find out about any updates to Yacapaca is to sign up for a teacher membership (from the homepage - it's free). That automatically gets you on the mailing list. I am absolutely delighted if any member of Classroom 2.0 joins Yacapaca.
