Our Live Chat last night featured engineer/scientist Phil Chamberlin from Goddard Space Flight Center. Phil is the deputy project manager for the Solar Dynamics Observatory. His presentation about studying the Sun also included the SOHO and SORCE observatories. 43 11th grade students were on hand to watch the presentation and ask questions.
Next week, we travel back to Kennedy Space Center where my good friend Shirish Patel will talk about the International Space Station. This chat is for 12th grade OLC members and will begin at 8:00pm CT. Other grades will be able to view the chat in the archives.
Just a reminder about the archives: You can actually find chats archived in to different places. You can access the Elluminate file in the Online Room Area as early as Friday morning after the chat. From the Connect page, click the Live Chats link, then click the Archives link in the top left window. Clicking a file here will open an Elluminate window and play the chat as a recording: use the arrow buttons in the lower left of the window to control the video.
The second way to see a file is by going to the Archives on the lower left column on the Home Page. Click Live Chat Archive, and you'll find archived files cataloged by month and year. Here, the chat is available as an Elluminate file as well as in MP3 and QuickTime format. These can be downloaded to your computer or media device for later viewing. These files will usually appear on Monday morning.
So remember: if you don't see the chat in the Home Page Archive, check the Live Chat archive off the Connect page. And don't forget to go to 'Quizzes' on the Discover page to take the quiz! You'll find the quiz passcode at the end of each chat. Good luck!
