Our next Tele training will be May 19, 2011 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and the topic will be:  “SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME (SSI) WORK INCENTIVES”.

 

Attached is a registration form for you to fill out for the next tele-training session.  You can fax it to me @ (417) 532-7552 or attach it in an email and send it back to me at estesks@missouri.edu.

 

Registration Deadline is May 13th by 12pm. 

  • As before, you will log in to our Adobe Connect room: http://uom.na5.acrobat.com/r43368786/. Everything about that will be the same.

  • You will NOT dial in on the telephone.  You WILL need speakers on your computer, since we will be feeding the audio out over the internet.

  • IF the audio over the internet does not work for you, then you will have a backup telephone line that you can use.  You will dial into that phone number and it will connect you to the same audio that everyone else is hearing over the internet

    • Right now, I do not have that phone number, but I will get it to you soon.

    • If you are not going to be at a computer and planned to only call in, you can call the backup telephone line.
  • If you want to ask a question, while listening to the audio over the internet, you will need to type the question into the chat window. 

  • If you have a microphone on your computer, you can use it to ask a question or make a comment, but you will need to “raise your hand” in the Connect room so we will know to turn on your microphone.

  • If you are using the backup telephone line, there will be a code you can punch in to “raise your hand”, and we will then turn on your phone so you can talk.
