I'm the librarian at Westminster (VT) Center School a k-6 school. We registered to participate in the Henkes webcast - it was great! Our 5th graders loved it. But we have other classes which would like to see it. I notice your webcasts are archived, but I can't seem to find a link to the actual webcast (as opposed to the info about it). Thanks!Posted : Oct 03, 2013 07:37

I registered for the event, but due to last minute issues, was not able to attend. Is there an archive available? Thank you!Posted : Sep 29, 2013 11:01

Did I hear correctly that we can receive continuing education credit for viewing the webcast? If so, how is that done?Posted : Sep 18, 2013 12:38

My computer tech had to help me. He enabled the cookies and still got the result you found. Finally, he removed part of the original link (http://vshow.on24.com/view/vts/tys/tys.htm?cookie=true) I think he had to delete the part with the question mark then cookie=true. Once he did that, my system showed that the webcast could be viewed.Posted : Sep 18, 2013 12:37

I ran the test and found that I needed to "enable my cookies". I followed the directions, reran the test and still was told that I failed the test. After a half an hour, I decided to go to the website to see if I could view the webcast anyway and I was surprised to see that I could. Unfortunately, I missed half the event. Did any one else have this problem and can it be fixed for future webcasts?Posted : Sep 18, 2013 12:23

I have never done a webcast before, so what kind of technology is required to participate?Posted : Sep 12, 2013 06:35

During the live webcast, there will be a Q&A button on the audience viewer console for virtual attendees to send in their questions.. Someone from Harper will be vetting the virtual questions at the live venue, pulling out the best ones, and presenting them to Kevin verbally. The live audience (kids from Bank St) also have the opportunity to present questions to Kevin, and will do so by lining up at a audience mic. Hope that answers your questions!Posted : Sep 11, 2013 02:18

Hi! I saw that students might have the opportunity to ask Kevin Henkes questions during the live webcast. I was wondering how that worked, and if we could send in questions from our kiddos. Thanks!!Posted : Sep 04, 2013 11:26
