Homework-examples

I want to show you what homework, for Integrations Into Eigo, will look like.
In my never-ending search to find new, cooler, better, and more fun websites, I came across a few online or web word processors.

• Zoho- I really liked the interface to this web word processor. Everything was very easy to use, and it had a nice design. This was my favorite.
• Thinkfree- The interface reminded me of the online blog word processor writetomyblog.
• Google Documents- This one is very simple in design, and the one that I am using right now. I want to use Zoho but I couldn't get the "insert image" button to work on Zoho. I will continue to use Google and keep an eye on Zoho. If I see that Zoho has fixed all their problems, I may switch.

I will write all homework assignments in an online web word processor and place the link in the posts along with the video lesson.

Contacting me

I give several different ways of contacting me, in the sidebar.

You can email me. I don't know how well the email link will work for people who want to click it and have their favorite email client open. I'm using a CGI script that helps prevent bots from randomly snatching my address.

You can leave a voicemail for me at 206-984-EIGO(3446). It is a US phone number so people in America can ask me questions, make requests, or just leave a comment.

If you prefer, you can leave me a voicemail using Yahoo Instant Messenger. It's free to use and no matter where in the world you are, you can use it. It's great for people outside of the US for people who want to leave me a voice message.

the same goes for Odeo. Odeo is a little easier than Yahoo Messenger. You don't need to download anything. Just click the link and leave a message right from your computer. Of course, you'll need a microphone.

For interactive talking, I added a Yackpack. A Yackpack is nice. I can use it like a forum, but you leave voice messages. In theory, there could be many people on the yackpack at once, all talking to each other by quickly recording their messages and hitting 'send'. I think it would make a great way for people to practice their english and get others, and myself, to help you pronounce English words better.

Finally, I added a comment box where you can leave an instant voice message right from this page. Just click and talk. I am using the free version so the messages can't be longer than 2 minutes. But it's perfect for quick, on-the-fly comments.

Coming soon

I'm working on a site redesign and a new intro for the show. I'll be recording some show content soon. It might be a little while before season 1 is ready, but work is progessing. So stay tuned.
