E-rate Open Q & A Sessions Scheduled
Message Posted January 3, 2008

Haven't posted your Form 470 yet and have last minute questions?  Want some reminders and tips on filing the Form 471?  You're in luck!

This year I will be conducting 2 E-rate webinars -- one for the Form 470 and one for the Form 471 -- in order to provide Pennsylvania applicants with quick reminders, and to answer any questions, big or small, that you may have prior to filing your application.  The sessions will be:

Form 470 Reminders and Q & A

January 7, 2008
2:00 - 3:30

Form 471 Reminders and Q & A
February 1, 2008
2:00 - 3:30

No pre-registration is required, although you will be required to sign-in when you log-in to the webinar.  For individuals that may not be familiar with webinars, you simply log-in to a pre-announced website where you will view the training online from the comfort of your own computer. (I'll be presenting a brief list of reminders, with most of the session reserved for applicants' live written and voice questions). Detailed instructions are listed below in order to prepare your computer for the webinar and to participate the day of the event.

I look forward to talking to you on January 7 or February 1!

* PREPARATION FOR THE WEBINAR:

If this is your first time attending a webinar via Elluminate:

    • Go to the CCIU Configuration Room to test your connection, microphone and speakers at http://www.pdewebinars.org/testyourcomputer.htm.
    • If necessary download the Sun Microsystem's Java Web Start (or OpenJNLP for Mac), a pre-requisite to Elluminate. You only need to do this the first time you use Elluminate. To do this go to www.elluminate.com/support.
    • A headset with microphone or external speakers and microphone are strongly recommended to enhance your Webinar experience. If you do not have access to a microphone you will be able to communicate with others via text messaging.

      PLEASE NOTE: Port 80 and Port 2187 must be open on your end to access the Elluminate Server.

    • Please go to http://vclass.cciu.org and click on the NAME OF MEETING link under the Meeting Name Column. (You may join the room 30 minutes prior to the start time).
    • Connect your speakers, microphone and/or headset before joining the Webinar.
    • Go to: http://vclass.cciu.org and locate the 'E-rate FY 2008: Updates and Refreshers' course.
    • Use your First and Last Name as your Login Name and click "Log In" (there is no password for this session).
    • You will automatically be taken to the Elluminate Session where the presentation will be held.
