CBC WEBCHATS...

During the course of the Conference we will be using a webchat, hosted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). This is an exciting feature for it allows all of us, from anywhere in the world, at any time of the day or night to carry on live, synchronous (at the same time) discussions on each and every issue.

These interactive discussions will feature different speakers, experts, and resource people on a wide range of topics to assist every participant in understanding the issues, learning, and contributing back to others. There will be scheduled discussions happening throughout the day and night, as well as numerous spontaneous conversations and debates. As your host, TG Magazine and The Students Commission have committed themselves to ensuring that 24 hours a day, for 7 days, speakers, resource experts and participants will be there to engage in conversations with you. Time zones will not be a barrier.

Here are a few things to help you along in the webchats:

1. To participate in the CBC webchat, you need a password. We suggest that you get your password first before you begin the modules because it takes a few minutes. The process is quite simple.

2. Click on the following link to the CBC webchat and scroll down to the bottom of the screen until you see a form. It will ask you for a nickname - this can be your real name (for example: Lin Lee, Japan) or a made-up name. You can decide, but please include your country so we can all know where you are writing from.

3. You also need to include your email address. Please type it into the form. When you are finished entering the information, press submit.

4. When you have finished filling in the form, you will need to check your email account as CBC will send your password to you immediately. Write down your password so that when you are ready to get on the webchat, your password will be handy for you to type in and gain access.

5. Please consult our schedule to find out who is on the webchat, at what times, and what is being discussed. If you want to schedule a discussion on a topic that is not already scheduled, please email us at asia@tgmag.ca

6. If you have any problems or questions, please email us at asia@tgmag.ca
