Read his blog at http://cyber-kap.blogspot. com. (Annotated by tvanos) 1. Donut Chat: Quite simply the most robust site for creating an easy-to-use chat room.

Neat Chat: The easiest site for creating a fast, simple chat room to use as a back channel. Also can print out chats and upload files. A bit like etherpad/primary pad. No sign in necessary.

Chatzy: Create a private room and invite people via email or URL; includes advanced features such as the ability to use commands. Ability to set up quickly, “sold” as an alternative to facebook, Skype and Windows live 4. BackNoise: Very user friendly, with the ability to mute and hide a text. 5. TodaysMeet : An excellent site similar to Twitter in that you can chat with up to 140 characters—great for printing out transcripts. 6. TinyChat : Create a room that integrates directly with Twitter, as well as the ability to do video/audio chatting. 7. Twiddla: One of the best collaborative whiteboards for commenting/ drawing in your own "sandbox." Users also have the ability to chat via text and audio in real time. 8. Skrbl: An easy-to-use interactive whiteboard where people have the ability to chat, text, and draw all in the same place. 9. PinDax: Is an innovative method of online note taking. Plus, it gives the user the ability to chat and post images in real time. 10. Google Wave: Create “waves” for people to join and chat and upload files in real time.

- From Michael Sisley [email_address] The Kinect is all about AR as well, though more placed than the Geocaching stuff we have looked at. Because it is under $200 and Microsoft I think it is viable for schools. Microsoft and others are urging a KinectHack group to build AR stuff around the device and software (all platforms) for their Games for Learning projects and the Serious Games people. There are some amazing uses already, including wearing the Kinect on the head and using it to tell distance, also a German anatomy visualization and some great music ones making the Kinect a theremin. I will stick with the Microsoft Kinect ideas as I am a Live member (like you), have joined up with Xbox Live and my Windows phone also does Xbox Live, so I thought it might in a shabby way trail after the iPod stuff in AR. I contacted the Games for Learning people years ago with my original Xbox but of course it was not wireless and no hard drive so the modern equivalent is very sophisticated, with good wireless N, 250G HDD, Facebook, Twitter and all done by gestures through the Kinect.
