Post-Show description:

So sorry it has taken me so long to post this audio. Real life keeps getting in the way.

This show came to be as a result of me wanting to automate our lunch count proceedure. I wanted to know the best way to use Google Spreadsheet/Forms to make it happen. Once again, Jen Wagner came to the rescue along with Mark Samberg and his great ideas.

Thanks for a great learning experience!

19:15:23 sheila - Pretend I didn't hear the first 2 times Jen . . .
19:16:10 Cathy E - http://jenuinetech.com/blog/?p=317
19:17:29 PeggyG - oh, lunch count on Google forms-what an awesome idea!
19:17:45 Heinrichka - Great idea!!!!
19:18:35 dgoodman - good to know
19:20:11 Heinrichka - Yep
19:20:14 Heinrichka - Four
19:21:32 PeggyG - grilled cheese sandwiches :-)
19:21:43 Heinrichka - Juice or milk, cathy :-)
19:22:17 PeggyG - just heard a student webcast on coggins blog today-lunch menu was biscuits & grits- made me smile :-)
19:22:49 PeggyG - You're doing a great job of describing it even without the visual
19:23:10 JenWagner - http://jenuinetech.com/blog/
19:24:17 PeggyG - see it :-)
19:24:38 JenWagner - http://jenuinetech.com/blog/
19:24:56 PeggyG - and all of the results will show up as they are entered right on the spreadsheet :-)
19:25:06 dgoodman - is anyone trying this out on google as jen shares
19:25:10 Heinrichka - So it totals in real time for the cafe manager?
19:25:13 sheila - yes
19:25:23 dgoodman - did you see a code
19:25:36 dgoodman - I did not after choosing share
19:26:20 PeggyG - probably only Jen gets the code as the creator??
19:27:05 dgoodman - I was trying to create one as she was sharing and did not get a code when I hit share
19:27:08 sheila - New profession - short order cook!
19:28:17 Heinrichka - Saves time on both ends of the count!
19:29:45 PeggyG - http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pHizxDGzmMpy3-saEoPOkBQ&hl=en this is one very simple example of form I created to help a teacher friend.
19:30:04 sheila - This is very helpful! I'm thinking of doing this at our school!
19:30:32 PeggyG - If you scroll down on my survey you can see the results
19:30:50 dgoodman - ok....with you now
19:31:20 JenWagner - here is the image
19:31:21 JenWagner - http://jenuinetech.com/blog/
19:31:26 JenWagner - if you wish to see what we are looking at
19:32:02 sheila - We have a main lunch then an alternative and salad bar.
19:32:25 PeggyG - it sounds like it would be more consistent if you enter the choices
19:32:54 sheila - I'm liking this!
19:34:06 PeggyG - I think Google is good enough for that but it's down sometimes--not long
19:34:37 PeggyG - you can always download and save the results in spreadsheet form
19:35:45 Cathy E - http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pHizxDGzmMpy3-saEoPOkBQ&hl=en
19:36:05 PeggyG - don't teachers have to have the ability to edit to add their information?
19:36:42 Heinrichka - YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
19:36:45 PeggyG - it was just a quicky example of the power of Google forms for a PD survey
19:37:17 sheila - Chat option!
19:37:27 PeggyG - Yes and you can add comments on the sheet
19:38:23 PeggyG - did you notice on my survey results that technology PD cam up for almost everyone? :-)
19:38:49 PeggyG - you can also post it on a Google website
19:39:17 Heinrichka - Christopher ;_0
19:39:52 PeggyG - once you have the template created it would be easy to change the menu choices
19:40:19 PeggyG - LOL-I was a principal and I didn't "eat" in the cafeteria either :-)
19:40:25 Heinrichka - He's our partner in the news show! COOOL kid!
19:41:00 Heinrichka - Ohh....the choices do repeat....
19:41:05 PeggyG - too many choices for a drop down menu
19:41:22 Cathy E - cevanoff
19:41:31 Heinrichka - CE -- Asisstants....since they no longer do attendance ????
19:42:07 JenWagner - Yes, Peggy -- Just trying to think of how NOT to invent the wheel EACH day
19:42:19 PeggyG - anything you want to survey-any of the graphing activities that primary students do could be done on this form with the teacher entering the info if students can't all be on computers
19:42:40 mark samberg - Where did everybody go?
19:42:54 JenWagner - poof -- hmmmmm what happened
19:43:07 JenWagner - Yes, Mark is talking -- was talking about height charts --
19:43:08 Heinrichka - Skype + stream = oops LOL!
19:43:10 JenWagner - did you hear that??
19:43:17 PeggyG - charts/graphs of riders/walkers, favorite anything, pets, really anything you could graph
19:43:25 JenWagner - Yes!!
19:43:41 PeggyG - can only hear Cathy
19:43:45 dgoodman - terrible sound on this end...almost like outside crickets
19:43:50 JenWagner - We did on one is your class going to the dogs
19:43:58 JenWagner - and did a PET survey
19:44:01 dgoodman - can only hear cathy
19:44:03 PeggyG - loud hum may be from someone on internal mic-computer sounds
19:44:07 JenWagner - yep --
19:44:20 JenWagner - Mark is talking in 30 seconds   :)
19:44:26 JenWagner - let us know if you can hear himj
19:44:27 JenWagner - him
19:44:29 PeggyG - can hear Jen now
19:44:33 PeggyG - now Mark
19:44:37 JenWagner - good thank you!!!
19:44:41 Heinrichka - I've got skype sound, too
19:45:40 PeggyG - you could get Prof Devel choices/preferences for teacher work days
19:46:02 sheila - I've done the birthday thing with my class. It's usually around 21, right?
19:46:07 PeggyG - favorite books
19:46:17 mark samberg - @sheila Yes
19:46:28 PeggyG - places students have been in the world
19:46:45 Heinrichka - Birth cities
19:47:00 sheila - welcome back to school. What did you do this summer?
19:47:01 PeggyG - Jen you should do a survey for all of your online projects to find out favorites
19:47:16 dgoodman - good idea peggy
19:47:23 PeggyG - pre-plug is good!
19:47:34 sheila - Hi Mary!
19:47:53 dgoodman - i also like the summer survey
19:47:55 sheila - We are working with forms with google forms
19:48:07 dgoodman - hi mary
19:48:08 sheila - @ Mary can you hear it?
19:48:39 sheila - You can type on the bottom of this box in the yellow area
19:48:46 PeggyG - just reinforcing your comment about give you a pre-plug
19:49:01 sheila - Mary is a teacher at my school, I believe . .
19:49:21 PeggyG - Yes, we should start a wiki for sharing examples (like the Voicethread wiki with tons of examples)
19:49:53 PeggyG - teachers will use it if it makes their lives easier
19:51:21 PeggyG - great example, Jen. If it helps them do something they are already doing they will see the value and won't view it as an add-on
19:52:25 mary - Yes, Sheila I can hear you.
19:52:32 PeggyG - they also have to trust that the technology will work when they need it--if it fails them a few times they decide it's not worth it
19:52:32 sheila - @Mary - Success!
19:52:57 sheila - @Mary, there is a 30 second delay.
19:54:18 PeggyG - Yes, it needs to be accessible and convenient
19:54:47 dgoodman - and support when they need it
19:55:50 PeggyG - one of my tech friends just did a presentation on how to present technology to teachers-click on workshops and "What Did I Sign Up For"-great advice - audio with PPT or video http://shawnwheeler.name/
19:56:26 PeggyG - the engagement value is such an important point
19:56:35 sheila - @mary - if you click on the link, it will pop up in the browser.
19:56:48 PeggyG - interaction is the key--technology isn't always used interactively
19:57:11 sheila - Imagine what we will learn tomorrow!
19:57:12 PeggyG - Yes Cathy! one person at a time!
19:57:36 PeggyG - Invite Mark back again to share some more!
19:58:28 PeggyG - great plan Cathy! Keep us posted on how it goes :-)
19:59:03 dgoodman - if anyone can pull it off, Cathy can
19:59:21 sheila - Can you have the calendar on the top with choices that are numbered? Then have the form below with choices #1-4.
19:59:33 PeggyG - Oh that's a fantastic idea to use your student to enter the choices :-)
19:59:52 JenWagner - Thank you Sheila -- I was trying to think of how to explain it too
20:00:00 sheila - @Mary - I sent you an email with my lunch count test form.
20:00:07 PeggyG - Good idea Sheila-that sounds like it might work!
20:00:10 sheila - Hi Brian

19:09:36 sheila A - @dgoodman - that's what I thought too
19:09:40 dgoodman - voicethread, social bookmarking, google docs, wiki and blogs
19:09:43 dougsymington - gmail spam filters have allowed me to use accounts that had been useless due to spam
19:10:10 dougsymington - I have 5 email accounts that come in through Gmail--helps manage the deluge
19:10:18 dgoodman - our middle and high school students really need to know about diigo
19:10:35 dgoodman - yes, sunshine
19:10:38 dgoodman - sure
19:12:46 mrsdurff - hey!
19:12:50 dgoodman - hi durf
19:12:55 sheila A - Hi!
19:13:04 dougsymington - @mrsdurff "in the house"
19:13:46 mrsdurff - we could say mr symington in the house
19:13:57 mrsdurff - please don
19:14:19 mrsdurff - my mic somehow doesn't work but earing does
19:14:41 mrsdurff - this is the last USB with any sound at all
19:14:44 Cathy E - please list your top 3 web 2.0 tools
19:14:47 mrsdurff - hi!
19:15:15 dougsymington - this is perhaps a bit more "advanced" than beginner tool
19:15:25 mrsdurff - favs: Google Reader, twitter, classblogmeister
19:15:29 helenotway - Hi all
19:15:32 dougsymington - but I keep coming back to twemes

19:16:04 mrsdurff - i like wikispaces best
19:16:07 dougsymington - http://twemes.com/makingconnections
19:16:09 mrsdurff - wetpaint?
19:16:22 dougsymington - haven't used wetpaint, but many like it
19:16:38 mrsdurff - it's confusing to me
19:16:40 dougsymington - keep coming back to wikispaces, myself
19:16:42 etalbert - Hard to do 3, since they have different purposes
19:16:43 dgoodman - have seen wetpaint, seems to be user friendly
19:16:54 mrsdurff - yes i like wikispaces
19:17:24 dougsymington - VoiceThread is another one that powerful, and relatively easy to use
19:17:27 dgoodman - photo shring sites are great to use as well - ovi
19:17:27 etalbert - If I did another wiki, I'd try wetpaint
19:17:30 mrsdurff - yes
19:17:41 dgoodman - @etalbert I agree
19:17:47 mrsdurff - wetpaint is confusing
19:17:53 mrsdurff - hi jpecke
19:18:01 jepcke - Hi Durff!
19:18:25 jepcke - Who's the guest tonight?
19:18:26 etalbert - Photo sharing - I use picasa - it's google again!

19:18:51 etalbert - To get it all going - Firefox for browsing.
19:19:27 jepcke - We have FF on all computers, but students have to use Safari due to our proxy server easier to filter
19:19:31 etalbert - Now Twitter, but only because of a google gadget!
19:19:31 dgoodman - network is sooooo important
19:19:48 sheila A - @dgoodman - I rely on twitter and edtechtalk now too.
19:20:05 etalbert - Yep, filtering, now that's a vexed question!
19:20:55 etalbert - I like diigo groups too.
19:20:59 dgoodman - good bedside manners are important with your tech folks

19:21:43 etalbert - Who has a secretary?
19:21:59 dgoodman - school secretary...
19:22:32 etalbert - We use admin. staff.
19:22:54 jepcke - Oh I love Scratch!

19:33:14 ballardfr - great, thanks
19:33:34 dgoodman - I met her cathy - she attended the Geocaching training

19:33:59 dgoodman - I agree with cathy
19:34:07 mrsdurff - food? did someone mention food?

19:34:50 dougsymington - http://www.techlearning.com/blog/2008/07/assistive_technology_goes_main.php
19:34:58 dgoodman - I think with any project-create a rubric so students know exactly what is expected and then grade accordingly
19:35:31 dgoodman - fizz is great - just joined today
19:35:31 mrsdurff - on blogs - have them write blogs, and grade online
19:35:53 jepcke - @dgoodman That is very important for the teacher too. Many don't know what they expect fromt he kids with regard to tech projects
19:35:54 etalbert - Wiki study guides - sounds good!
19:36:03 dgoodman - we are having someone in in a couple weeks to do training and then well have our own environemnt
19:36:20 mrsdurff - for audio podcasts - have them create according to rubric and have them grade each other's work
19:36:33 mjsamberg - https://www.fi.ncsu.edu/fizz/
19:37:08 dgoodman - getting students use to reflective writing is great -will pay off as they get to higher grades - blogs are great for this
19:37:27 dgoodman - having srudents to respond to blogs first before writing their own
19:37:54 etalbert - Good point about wikis.
19:38:20 dgoodman - it has certainly made me look at roadkill in a diff light
19:38:43 dgoodman - dont you try to identify it
19:38:43 mrsdurff - roadkill? gross!
19:38:47 etalbert - Roadkill?
19:38:53 mrsdurff - yuckoo!
19:38:54 sheila A - http://www.ryejrhigh.org/roadkill
19:39:01 mrsdurff - not me thanks
19:39:12 dgoodman - h come on durf
19:39:16 sheila A - high roadkill # indicates # population
19:39:22 mjsamberg - Fizz sample sites: http://www.fareel.com, www.ccreel.com, hctube.hertford.k12.nc.us
19:40:22 dgoodman - @mark first two links didn't work
19:40:35 Ben Hazzard - Did you discuss the 3 things that are web 2.0 (and popular) that should not be shared with newbies?
19:40:53 mrsdurff - hi mjsamberg
19:40:56 mjsamberg - @deborah - they worked OK for me. www.fareel.com and www.ccreel.com
19:40:59 jepcke - @ben Really good idea!
19:41:07 etalbert - Newbie kids or newbie teachers?
19:41:26 Ben Hazzard - Newbie teachers (I think) but both would be appropriate...
19:41:35 dgoodman - its very busy for newnies
19:41:36 mrsdurff - i use jott for that
19:41:37 jepcke - @ben What are you're 3?
19:41:52 mrsdurff - on speed dial on the cell phone
19:41:53 Ben Hazzard - Twitter
19:41:58 mrsdurff - yup
19:41:59 dgoodman - links worked that time mark
19:42:03 dougsymington - funny
19:42:05 etalbert - It is the purpose not the tool.
19:42:06 mrsdurff - yes
19:42:23 dougsymington - was going to say the same thing--yes, Twitter has a tendancy to overwhelm
19:42:40 etalbert - I wouldn't pick Twitter first for any teacher.
19:43:08 Ben Hazzard - microblogging sites, animoto, wikis/blogs
19:43:11 dgoodman - so many people tell me that they just dont get twitter but after they get more comfy with web 2.o in general they go bacl and look and get it
19:43:36 sheila A - That was me Deborah!
19:43:42 Ben Hazzard - microblogging = too confusing and don't know the noise to vitamin ratio is too small
19:43:48 etalbert - I like twitter if we tweet mostly about professional matters.
19:44:02 dgoodman - its al in who you follow
19:44:04 Ben Hazzard - animoto - cool but shiny and not as well understood
19:44:06 dougsymington - Twitter makes perfect sense the first time you use it to find an answer to a particular question
19:44:21 etalbert - I wold start teachers with an igoogle page and go from there.
19:44:50 Ben Hazzard - blogging and wikis - without a good idea of the possibilities it is not going to take hold
19:44:59 dgoodman - same as you cathy
19:45:25 etalbert - This is definately where web filtering policies come in.
19:45:40 Ben Hazzard - My question when picking what people should do first: what do they already do in real life?
19:45:53 etalbert - A lot of what we are mentioning are blocked in my state in Oz.
19:45:58 dgoodman - gotta check out animoto more closely - have heard it mentioned quite a bit lately
19:46:13 Ben Hazzard - Do they have a digital camera? Then picasa, Flickr!
19:46:23 dgoodman - how about flip video camera
19:46:36 mjsamberg - What about the flip?
19:46:44 jepcke - Don't think I'd show a newbie Second Life.
19:46:45 mjsamberg - Really cool piece of hardware.
19:46:49 mjsamberg - No.
19:46:58 dgoodman - no no no second life for newbie
19:47:15 etalbert - Media creation and sharing appeals to teachers and kids.
19:47:23 dgoodman - @mark loving the flip
19:47:25 Ben Hazzard - jepcke - excellent! stay away from SL... back up from the mouse!
19:47:33 jepcke - We are having great success with newbies and Moodle
19:47:41 etalbert - moodle is becoming popular here too.
19:47:43 jepcke - Newbies to tech that its
19:47:44 Ben Hazzard - loving the flip as well
19:47:45 mjsamberg - A few tools - I worry sometimes that we overwhelm teachers by showing them a ton of tools so that they dont' know where to start.
19:47:51 jepcke - and we have an inhouse Moodle expert
19:48:00 dgoodman - @mark I agree
19:48:34 etalbert - Identify the purpose and learning need and then pick tool, product etc
19:48:38 dgoodman - highlight a few at a time-show real application o the tool and then move on
19:48:48 Ben Hazzard - @mjsanberg - a multitude of options does not overcome knowing the professionals we work with. INstead of rapid fire do the more individualized approach
19:49:05 jepcke - show them a site/tool that will help them solve a problem
19:49:16 mjsamberg - I'm going to do new teacher training differently - separate them by discipline and grade level to work with them in a less general setting.
19:49:30 Ben Hazzard - As what do you want to know? What do tools do you use in your personal life?
19:49:32 jepcke - differentiate for techers too
19:49:46 Ben Hazzard - amen jepcke
19:50:00 etalbert - Yes, relevance to teaching subject is important.
19:50:17 jepcke - many mid-range tech users get turned off when things are always so basic
19:50:37 jepcke - and the hig-end users just check out
19:51:03 etalbert - The late majority need coaxing! What's in it for me!
19:51:03 sheila A - Years ago, we used a rubric for our technology skills. Is there anything out there that has Web 2.0 concepts on rubric/continuum
19:51:10 jepcke - Some teachers think I've taught with it for so many years so I don't need it now
19:51:14 sheila A - for staff
19:51:21 dgoodman - good discussion as usual -thanks cathy
19:51:26 jepcke - @etalbert Very true
19:51:36 dgoodman - Intel has a datbase of rubrics for blogs, wikis, etc
19:51:47 dgoodman - its been great
19:51:59 mrsdurff - I did nothing
19:52:06 mrsdurff - but it was fun
19:52:11 sheila A - Thanks!
19:52:20 jepcke - @durff your presence is always reassuring
19:52:27 mrsdurff - coolcatteacher has good rubrics
19:52:31 kingre - Thanks Cathy!
19:52:44 ballardfr - Thanks everyone!
19:52:49 Ben Hazzard - Thanks!
19:52:53 sheila A - thanks for the rubric leads!
19:52:54 etalbert - Bye all!
19:53:01 mrsdurff - i was trying to re-attach a resume to an email
19:58:46 dgoodman - I heard about that at NECC
19:59:46 mrsdurff - audio gone - anyone else or just me?
20:00:03 dgoodman - i still hear
20:00:29 dgoodman - i think teachers teaching teachers discuss that last week
20:00:34 mrsdurff - then i need a browser restart-thanks
20:01:01 dgoodman - i am
20:01:03 Cathy E - http://flickr.com/photos/23754355@N08/sets/72157605880686325/

19:15:01 sheila -EdTechTalk: I've found these shows on ETT have provided most of my PD
19:15:24 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: Commutes are perfect for podcasts :-)
19:15:47 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: I don't either but they are fun to listen to!
19:16:19 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: wii rocks
19:16:41 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: One of my teacher friends in special ed. made a "fake" smartboard because her kids couldn't manipulate the tools.
19:17:01 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: u can use the wii as a smartboard?
19:17:23 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: She controlled the mouse from her computer as the kids pointed to things on the screen-just a whiteboard where she was projecting her computer. Very creative!
19:17:40 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: cool
19:17:49 sheila -EdTechTalk: nice idea!
19:18:55 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: time to pick a color :-)

19:20:25 sheila -EdTechTalk: I'm trying to get people to get together this summer just to play with web 2.0 tools.
19:20:55 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: Time is such a challenging issue for teachers. That's why things like the K12online conference are so valuable because they can watch whenever they have time.
19:21:30 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: me
19:22:16 katbowler -EdTechTalk: I'm hearing you.....but can't chat in for some reason----LOVE IT!!

19:31:54 sheila -EdTechTalk: free fertilizer too?
19:32:04 katbowler -EdTechTalk: LOL!
19:32:22 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: Mark, you should look at the way they have set up online PD for the K12 online conference. They have rubrics, tasks, etc. that are very good.
19:32:33 MariaK -EdTechTalk: @sheila - did you see the message from gary stager -room in the conf. at early bird rate

19:35:13 sheila -EdTechTalk: @mariaK - was in SL last night. Looked for you . . .
19:35:19 mrsdurff -EdTechTalk: where those goats?
19:35:25 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: Will you provide backchannel chat for your PD?
19:36:04 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: Twiddla is nice for sharing whiteboard, desktop, clickable website, audio, video, etc.
19:36:21 mrsdurff -EdTechTalk: take a cab!
19:36:58 sheila -EdTechTalk: @mrsdurff - We made her take a trolley instead of walking a mile in San Antonio!
19:37:08 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: http://www.twiddla.com/Home.aspx
19:37:24 mrsdurff -EdTechTalk: that is better than walking

19:39:10 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: Dr. Abi :-)
19:39:46 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: Who ever told me I could download Skpe, thanks! I have downloaded it.
19:40:05 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: I don't know if I want to talk though.
19:40:18 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: My husband is watching TV
19:40:21 MariaK -EdTechTalk: @PeggyG - webcast academy
19:40:23 mrsdurff -EdTechTalk: it's free to call/chat with any other Skype user
19:40:24 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: Did Abi record that experience with the students? Would love to see it
19:40:36 bsch1964 -EdTechTalk: Thanks
19:40:37 mrsdurff -EdTechTalk: and really cheap to call internationally
19:40:47 MariaK -EdTechTalk: I doubt that she did - but she'd talk to you too Peggy
19:40:51 katbowler -EdTechTalk: We didn't, did we Cathy? I'd love a copy also if Abi did record it!
19:40:52 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: I can't wait to start webcast academy-all signed up for the next session

19:42:23 mrsdurff -EdTechTalk: a la Alfred Hitchhock
19:42:35 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: I'm afraid if teachers are involved in the webinars from other districts they won't feel connected if they can't participate somehow (like chat)
19:42:56 sheila -EdTechTalk: I'm back
19:43:12 PeggyG -EdTechTalk: We've all been adding comments, photos and audio to the wiki to celebrate Vicki on WOW2

Making Connections #30

edtechtalk@gmail.com (Cathy Evanoff) — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 21:52:01 +0000

My new house is the house of my dreams and the view is unbelievable. The price you pay for peace and quiet is…. no connectivity. I am begging DSL or cable to run a line, but for now I’m stuck with satellite TV (which is ok) and satellite Internet (which stinks).

The Wildblue Internet service technician came today to adjust my satellite to enable better connection speeds. Still, the download is a tad better than dial-up and the upload is less than adequate for Skype. It saddens me to announce that I will be unable to host Making Connections on Tuesday nights. I would love for someone to take over the show, to keep the communication going so classroom connections can continue to be created. Our Tuesday night chats introduced many teachers to new web 2.0 tools as well as each other. The connections that have been created are countless. I thank you all for the opportunity to allow me to expand my knowledge and increase my network of friends. Don’t forget to check out the other great conversations happening each week on EdTechTalk.

Thank you Jeff Lebow, Dave Comier, and Doug Symmington for the guidance, encouragement, and hand-holding it took to get me to jump off the webcasting cliff. You guys are the best! You are providing a service that is needed by all educators, a place to meet, chat, and learn. A place where exploring new ideas with a network of friends is a powerful enriching experience. Jeff and Dave, I am so proud to say that I was able to have one small slice of your pie where teachers (and students) made connections.

P.S. I am not gone forever. I will still be listening and text chatting.

Maggie Tsai of Diigo.com explains how this “Social Annotation” tool is so very useful to the classroom teacher as well as students. Catch the podcast for our tour.
This video should be a requirement for every educator. Here is an example of how one high school history teacher is using Diigo in his classroom. It will really get you thinking about the possibilities.

19:31:52 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I know!!
19:32:09 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: I use google docs to share notes with others who work with my students
19:32:16 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: She and my husband went up last weekend to see the rowing team
19:32:48 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: It is wikiish but looks like word
19:33:03 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: googledocs blocked. anyone have luck with ThinkFree?

19:34:41 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: for me, Yugma is most valuable- I use it for tech support as well as training
19:34:42 Cathy E -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/
19:34:51 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: @sendkathy found it more "troublesome" than Googledocs. NOt intuitive .At least the spreadsheet.
19:35:05 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: 2 secs?
19:35:13 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: @jeff, i'll still add it to my virtual tool box!

19:35:47 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: Jott is very cool
19:35:51 lthompson -> -EdTechTalk: ditto to jott

19:37:25 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: zoho database feature allows you to create web forms and collect the data
19:37:32 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: also like NetVibes for "aggregating" difference spaces--along lines o' PageFlakes
19:37:46 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: Art == rainmaker
19:37:53 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: I want to know more about the new ed offer from Voice thread - kind of pricey
19:38:01 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yes, I did experiment once by embedding a survey and linking to a database, whish I had more time to play
19:38:18 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: yeah Art!
19:38:19 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: wow, its instant!
19:38:23 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: eeewww! Art is SO important
19:38:24 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: Zoho is great about keeping up with the community
19:38:42 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: actually: fun story:
19:38:43 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I know Maria, I was so surprised
19:38:46 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i must be in the right crowd of people
19:38:52 Art Gelwicks -> -EdTechTalk: Rainmaker or just all wet?
19:38:54 Art Gelwicks -> -EdTechTalk: :)
19:39:01 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: The in Crowd Durff
19:39:04 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: today, I was wondering about a function of FreshBooks (freshbooks.com)
19:39:08 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: yes!
19:39:09 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: @mariak I heard the ed.voicethread was only a $10 cost to educators
19:39:12 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: can't figure out if we want to pay the school price -$$$
19:39:18 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: and I tweeted wondering if there was an answer
19:39:23 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: only 2 accounts allowed per school
19:39:24 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: freshbooks?
19:39:32 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: tell us arthus
19:39:34 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: and lo & behond, freshbooks tweeted right back to me with the answer
19:39:42 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: freshbooks.com, billing software
19:39:52 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Good question Cathy E
19:39:54 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: ah
19:40:00 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Do you mean kids or adults
19:40:23 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: JenW

19:41:43 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: oh maria
19:41:48 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Own it!
19:41:49 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: call a cab
19:42:01 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: She got me started . . .
19:42:10 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff - your cab is waiting
19:42:45 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: okay - i own it but there are others who deserve it too
19:42:55 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: you have to have a familiarity with pedagogy and curriculum to make it all fit together
19:43:02 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: we need more mentors for classroom teachers
19:43:07 lthompson -> -EdTechTalk: I agree. The "seasoned" person can voice more than I can.
19:43:09 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: OOO and a sense of adventure
19:43:13 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: and fun
19:43:28 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: and a childlike wonder for the world and a love of people and communications
19:43:28 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: ...Bless you!
19:43:37 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: If you're not willing to lose your job, you're not going to be able to do your job. Chris Lehman
19:43:39 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: empathy. sense of big picture. balance -- learning & tech go hand in hand.
19:43:42 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: also I think that we need people who can communicate well with folks - connect with beginners
19:43:48 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: Google them :P
19:43:55 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: do they have a website - google them
19:43:58 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: I agree Maria
19:44:09 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: I lose my job everyday
19:44:10 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: They have to be out of the box but credible
19:44:17 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: I have no job :)
19:44:24 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: you will
19:44:25 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: You have nothing to lose
19:44:42 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: people will be beating down the door
19:45:00 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: I bettery buy titanium
19:45:12 Art Gelwicks -> -EdTechTalk: Jobs and careers come and go...passions and visions carry on.
19:45:13 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: Need to be able to connect
19:45:29 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: delicious
19:45:35 lthompson -> -EdTechTalk: sure
19:45:38 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: higher order thinking skills
19:45:40 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: del.icio.us
19:45:46 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: have they created anything new?
19:45:51 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: diigo is also good
19:45:54 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Used any tools in a new way?
19:45:56 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: has anyone used trailfire
19:46:00 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: delicious is simply the simplest
19:46:08 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i don't like diigo as much
19:46:09 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: it does exactly what you want it to do
19:46:14 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: in the easiest way possible
19:46:15 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: @sendkathy - I so agree with you
19:46:16 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: but they are very good
19:46:36 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Arthus, what was the book thingy link you had in there earlier?
19:46:48 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: freshbooks.com
19:46:51 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: thx
19:47:00 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: as opposed to inauthentic blogging, of course
19:47:03 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: (it's not actually about books :P)
19:47:15 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: inauthentic blogging = fake Steve Jobs
19:47:17 Cathy E -> -EdTechTalk: http://drupal.dare.k12.nc.us/
19:47:19 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff lol
19:47:20 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: :)
19:47:27 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: fake jobs!
19:47:34 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: lol
19:47:41 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: so what is a fake gates?
19:47:54 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: can the virtual "Just for Laughs" be far behind?
19:47:56 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: fakesteve.blogspot.com
19:48:07 Cathy E -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.ning.com/
19:48:12 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: a laugh-in reprisal
19:48:26 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: fakesteve is outrageous in a good way
19:48:57 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: Ning = social networking = :)
19:49:03 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: fake gates, that would be the filter at our school :)
19:49:12 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: (LOL)
19:49:15 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: (lol)
19:49:18 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: lol
19:49:39 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: yes - they don't value my comments - they value everyone else's comments
19:49:55 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: who doesn't value you you Durff?
19:49:55 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: @Cathy E I am so mad at myself for missing this tonight
19:50:10 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: you hire me to roll one for you :)
19:50:16 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: the learners
19:50:16 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: build*
19:50:32 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: ahhhh, they are middle schoolers, givem a break!
19:50:34 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: they value comments from other people
19:50:38 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: and they should
19:51:00 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: all of them PreK thru 12
19:51:03 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff they'll thank you one day, and I'm sure they are listening, they just can't let on....
19:51:05 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I set up a ning to get my teachers blogging
19:51:06 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: what about imbee? I've never used it
19:51:13 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Well, that is the goal anyway
19:51:14 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: good idea Cathy E
19:51:26 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: they are, they tell me when they are alone
19:51:39 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: We've been using drupal
19:51:44 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: wordpress on the school server?
19:52:07 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: Moodle = overkil
19:52:11 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: We have a principal at our 3-5 school who is using a wiki to discuss a book she gave her staff-gotten from an idea your school is doing
19:52:11 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: overkill*
19:52:29 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: a good way to get teachers introduced to the tools
19:52:36 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: The ning is much friendlier than moodle or drupal
19:52:43 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: brb
19:53:04 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: Hi criss
19:53:06 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Honestly people like to 'move in' they like to decorate and personalize
19:53:07 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: Is setting up drupal hard?
19:53:15 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Harder than ning
19:53:16 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: also, I think it might be worth sending Ning an email
19:53:24 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: see if you can work out something
19:53:39 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: back
19:53:41 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: The folks are great at drupal for helping out and all kinds of docs on the net
19:53:45 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: in ning though anyone can join any ning group
19:53:52 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: Did he say sloodle?
19:53:54 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: what are some safer avatar making sites
19:54:00 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: that's sounds dangerous in a school
19:54:00 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yes he did
19:54:09 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: habo?
19:54:13 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: you can upload an avatar to your profile in moodle
19:54:23 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: @kathy Portrait Illustrator
19:54:35 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: @jeff yes
19:54:42 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: OK will try
19:54:56 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: anyone tried www.gogofrog.com - creates second life style rooms - 3-D spaces with chats and avatars
19:55:06 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: no
19:55:08 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: cool
19:55:24 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: @cindy thank you
19:55:35 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: has a blogging and forum feature, but haven't been able to get it to work yet
19:55:50 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: it was easy to upload pictures and text
19:55:58 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: cindy showed me gogofrog today-looks really cool
19:56:00 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: go frog looks very promising
19:56:03 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: Meebo
19:56:13 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: use Meebo for IM
19:56:32 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: what was that site you just mentioned cathy
19:56:32 Art Gelwicks -> -EdTechTalk: Meebo raises the specter of instant messaging for many schools.
19:56:47 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: chatmaker.net was it.
19:56:51 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: edusim
19:56:53 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: thkx
19:56:55 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: It's great for creating your own chatroom
19:57:27 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: can others enter chatmaker rooms?
19:57:31 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I hope chat maker isn't blocked, looks ideal
19:57:34 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: Edusim didn't like my tablet
19:57:36 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: is it safe?
19:57:44 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: yes. You just send them the link thats created
19:57:47 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: If you have wireless computers in your room, set up server on an oS X, add MySql and wordpress.
19:58:03 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: edusim is kind of light at this point in terms of content and i haven't had time to make any
19:58:13 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Also the controls are a bit rugged
19:58:18 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: mildly techie solution but if might work
19:58:32 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: it
19:58:49 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Even my college age son who is a video game afficionado thinks, hey, where's the action?
19:59:04 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: is edusim a download?
19:59:08 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I know it's only in Alpha so hopefully they are collecting suggestions
19:59:13 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: No flying either
19:59:19 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yes
19:59:24 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: pooh
19:59:25 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: we do
19:59:27 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: Boo! Love to fly
19:59:34 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yes you have to be very fluid
19:59:40 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: if not its too sluggish
19:59:51 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: they also want to be able to compete with one another
19:59:51 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: no flying, what's the point then?
19:59:56 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: anyone put edusim on a flash drive yet?
20:00:02 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: just kidding :)
20:00:08 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: HAHA
20:00:23 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: my boys do that
20:00:29 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: url for pictochat?
20:00:41 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: it's part of nintendo ds software
20:01:20 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: Art, there you go again
20:01:25 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: try gogofrog.com
20:01:26 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: font of knowledge over there
20:01:56 Linda J -> -EdTechTalk: community unit
20:02:22 Linda J -> -EdTechTalk: guess we are kin
20:02:25 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Elem educators would use the space on the whiteboard
20:02:29 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: read James Paul Gee
20:02:32 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: to allow children to explore
20:02:37 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: then you will know Art
20:02:37 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: engage
20:02:43 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: and take things apart
20:02:46 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: museum style piece
20:02:58 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: ecosystems
20:03:00 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: mathematics principles too--being able to walk in and around shapes and such
20:03:05 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: see Paris :)
20:03:07 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: finding things like in I SPY but three D
20:03:16 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Yes
20:03:55 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: mmm-the virtual world as the textbook
20:04:12 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: what if you have a computer in the virtual world?
20:04:17 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: and then play SL in that..
20:04:20 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yeah what if?
20:04:26 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: wow
20:04:27 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: and then get on the computer in there
20:04:27 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: could you?
20:04:29 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: etc.
20:04:38 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: very deeeep
20:04:51 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: @arthus - that sounds like an infinity concept
20:04:57 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: it is
20:05:09 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i'm calling a cab
20:05:09 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: actually, not it's not
20:05:14 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: one company, may be NetG is already doing computer labs in SL
20:05:19 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Ladies and gents, must go, see you all back here at 9! Fun times, thx. What learning isn't distracting?
20:05:24 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: yes cathy i agree
20:05:25 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: AMEN Cathy!
20:05:26 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: bye, cya later
20:05:27 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: because eventually your SL character would run out of lenonsa
20:05:29 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: I used to love to set up mirrors so i could search for infinity
20:05:36 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: bye Kathy
20:05:37 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: kathy! loved seeing you!!
20:05:53 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: I saw infinity the other day
20:05:58 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: maria did you ever find it?
20:06:01 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: then I looked further
20:06:08 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: and their audience would be the world
20:06:11 Linda J -> -EdTechTalk: Thank you everyone! Great Show!!!!
20:06:14 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: where arthus? at educon?
20:06:16 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: I'm getting closer to infinity - way closer than when I was younger!
20:06:39 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i'm 12
20:06:41 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: nope, in binary
20:06:50 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: I'm 3.14
20:07:14 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: ok that's too deep for me - taking a cab outta here
20:07:17 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: here's a primary grade level wiki I started http://100thday.wetpaint.com/ maybe some classrooms would want to participate
20:07:45 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff I'm guessing that cab budget is a big one!
20:07:54 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: our 100th day was Monday
20:08:05 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: mine would be Spartan
20:08:09 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: @Doug maria is paying
20:08:12 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: a single white desk
20:08:16 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: a stool
20:08:17 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: excellent
20:08:20 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: and an iMac
20:08:23 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: @durff - no problem - this is more about the concept of counting to 100
20:08:40 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: @durff - I',m walking
20:08:42 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i'll share it maria
20:09:25 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: sneak peak: I might be starting my own regular show soon
20:09:37 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: good
20:09:39 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: also, I'm going to be webcasting on Super Tuesday
20:09:45 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: 'bout time
20:09:54 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: indeed
20:10:11 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: auf Deutsch-doch
20:10:21 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: more formative assessments - project based learning - testing now is on fragmented learning
20:10:44 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: define "actual experience"
20:10:48 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: recall learning...no application of critical thinking skills
20:11:02 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: too much time on this
20:11:13 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: is an experience in SL "actual"
20:11:15 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i don't think it passes the test arthus
20:11:33 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: darn
20:11:43 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: actual experience is really contrived
20:11:50 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: it has to be
20:11:58 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: school is contrived
20:12:26 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: SL is not contrived enough
20:12:52 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: oh my! it is 8:12!! I gotta go
20:13:07 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: bye lisa - call a cab!
20:13:31 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i'll not log out - just go fill the coffee
20:13:41 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: we lost him
20:13:43 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: losing sound...
20:13:46 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: we need to involve parents more in the classroom so they see how much learning goes on
20:13:56 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: Durff, what's up for WOW tonight?
20:14:41 lthompson -> -EdTechTalk: Test drives everything
20:14:45 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: Parents think the scores are measuring what their children are learning and how well the school is doing!

Making Connections # 25 was all about classtools.net (something I learned about from Twitter) a cools site that allows you to create Flash games for the classroom. We started the show with a bang and even made some new connections. Welcome to Bill Gaskins and Shelia as first timers. I am sorry to say about 13 minutes into the show something went very wrong with my audio recording. But I hope what you hear gives you enough information to get you excited about the site. Thanks to all for sticking with me!

Making Connections #23

edtechtalk@gmail.com (Cathy Evanoff) — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 21:21:12 +0000

I believe the answer to virtual worlds in elementary school may be within the Edusim environment. A protected world where educators along with their students can experiment and create learning environments.

We experimented tonight with the opensource 3D virtual software that has been created to use with interactive whiteboards. I believe it can also be used within a lab situation to give each student the ability to interact within a virtual world from their on computer.

http://edusim3d.com/

You need to view the video so you will have some background information before you listen to the podcast. Even then, because we played with this virtual world using Yugma, it may be difficult to follow.

I still don’t understand how to have more than one avatar in a world. When you figure that part out – please let me know.
