i already got over being angry on wednesday beacuse we went to have dinner which made me happy, but now that i have to blog, i must complain about the inefficient technology that UTS has provided for us as students.

first of all, whoever did not think of having an apple / mac desktop as the host computer in “MAC CLASSROOMS” is a little insufficient as a classroom designer. this has caused our groups presentation to be ineffective because the Video conferencing did not work due to the fact that the host computer doesnt even have video conferencing. Because our group topic was Synchronous Communication, our extremely effective idea of presenting via another classroom was ruined.

We have tried our best to make the connection between macintosh computers, windows host computers that doesnt have webcam, and marks laptop to work, however in the end our presentation was still a failure. I must admit, i am rather cheesed about this situation because i spent so much brain power and practical experimenting time to try and make this work. Not to mention, we totally abused Mark’s time in teaching Module 2, and made the rest of the class wait.

 Of course, i can’t blame this all on UTS, because i do very much appreciate how UTS has external connections to the host computer and etc, so WebEx should try and accelerate its technology with Macintosh, so that both computers would have the same preferences, devices and functions.

 but of course, im over that whole cheezed-ness. because our next assessment has nothing to do with playing around with technology.
