Dear Bros & Sisters of Amma,

 

 

Forgive me for including this list.....but I must have been in a hole

when email was created.

 

I found this absolutely amazing language (see list above of

abbreviations) that seem to be somewhat universal for email etiquette.

So....it answered many of my personal questions...like the use of LOL,

which I had assumed meant lots of laughs....only to find that it meant

laughing out loud. I was too embarrassed to ask all of my brothers and

sisters what some of their abbreviations meant.

 

 

 

 

 

Amma has created a perfect position for me at the University assisting

Marketing and Art Directors. I was being offered full time , but due

to health limitations, I could only accept part time....and they (Amma

really) created a special projects position that will allow me much

creativity and I will not get bored. This is a stellar and professional

office that I am proud to be affiliated with.

 

 

 

My first assignment was to research online chat s for Higher Ed

environments.....so....I chuckled (knowing Amma was getting her two

sense in by letting me know I had some knowledge of what I was being

assigned yesterday)...as the director has never been involved in an

online chat room and Amma had me in training, thanks to all of you.

 

 

So my question to all my super geeky and computer geniuses out there in

Amma's Ciber world.......do you know of any companies who sell packages

to institutions of higher education, for the purpose of online chat,

blogs, etc. for use with student email communications.

 

I am looking for a high quality vendor, with experience, who might have

resources and demos for our management team to experience. Also,

included in a package offer would be the ability to create links to

major web sites, especially for the purpose of using after professional

presentations, academic lectures, visiting scholar , etc. I am working

with our reference librarians, academic educators and university

computer services....and of course, googling.....

 

 

 

Thanks so very much for your time. Possibly Amma has one of her children

who owns this type of business ....and then I would be proud to place

them on my high recommendation list for the directors.

 

 

ONS,

Dear Amritavarshini,

 

Blogger (now owned by Google and can be found at Blogger.com) sells

blog packages for business/corporate use.

 

I also know that Messenger offers a business option, however I

haven't used it myself so I can't attest to its greatness or lack

thereof.

 

Are you looking for an online classroom-type of all-encompassing

application/package?

 

Proud of her geekiness,

Dear Niseema (Erica), Your High Geekness,

 

***Thanks for your fast reply.

 

Blogger (now owned by Google and can be found at Blogger.com) sells

blog packages for business/corporate use.

 

***Great news, I had not discovered if Blog was a company, a

product....a reference librarian suggested that I do searches with the

term blog...(something like a diary, I was told).

 

I also know that Messenger offers a business option, however I

haven't used it myself so I can't attest to its greatness or lack

thereof.

 

***Yes, thank you...was working on this morning...very broad.

 

Are you looking for an online classroom-type of all-encompassing

application/package?

 

***Not sure ....I am not a techy...just the inquisitor..so I am running

into vocabulary issues..... online classroom....?

 

The university is currently using an online chat for the Admissions

Dept..and the Marketing Director for the entire university is wanting to

expand the use to all student and faculty discussion and online

communications. Therefore we would open up a new topic after huge

international lectures on campus, like when Gloria Steinhem was here and

she spoke for 2 hours...and we all were buzzing to talk more about her

speech...and it would have been great to have a chat to go to with

everyones opinions....there was much interaction and her speech...and it

got many individuals involved and thinking and processing. We are also

planning to use this email for individuals who have interest in learning

about certain topics, films shown on campus.

 

I guess, "all encompassing package"...yes, and it must meet the criteria

of being linked to the main gateway website...which supplies all 8

campuses across the state.

 

Proud of her geekiness,

Erica
