Does anybody know if a teacher with 25+ kids can send out a single message via Rendevous iChat to her classroom...basically, the teacher wants to use this as a way to pass out some Word documents all at once "digitally"...possible?
If so, how?
Thanks.

I don't have much experience with this, but what if everyone is in a group chat... that way she only sends it once and everyone should get it. But I've never been in a group chat, so this might be wrong.
Sorry I couldn't have been more help.

Well
you could do this...
In Panther set all the comptuers to 1 iDisk accound
then on the teacher comp, copy the document to the iDisk folder (then it wil Sync it to .Mac) It will then sync all their computer and just have all the kids open it up from their computer.

There are no group chats in (iChat) Rendezvous land. They'd be a real pain to manage nicely in an environment without a central server.

Turn web sharing on Teacher's computer. Delete everything in /Library/WebServer/Documents, or if you wanna get fancy, set the DocumentRoot (and the corresponding <Directory...>) to something else, maybe a directory on the root of the hard drive for easy access. Have the students go to whatever.local in their web browsers. Teacher can just drop files into /Library/WebServer/Documents (or whatever you set it to) and students can see and download the files (virtual directories is on by default). No HTML, no mess, no problem.

the rendezvous web server is a good idea too. just open safari...go to the rendezvous tab. (use it at work all the time to show stuff i'm working on to others)
