Making Friends Online

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:15:00 +0000

I'm often times asked by folks when I tell them about our student Internet Radio show, The Gator Radio Experience, "How did you find those people from [insert location here] to talk live with your students." Many people who ask this question of me probably know how to find a doctor in their community, a mechanic to repair their car, or a good babysitter to look after their children. They all have networks in their local communities that they can reference when they are in need of such resources. Finding people to collaborate with online is really no different than finding people to work with in our respective communities. However, just like it takes time to build up a support network in our local communities, the same can be said for working in the virtual world. It takes time to build up a network of trustworthy individuals who are willing and able to collaborate with us on various projects.

When my wife and I relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area a year ago, we only knew a few people. However, these few people showed us around the area and introduced us to many people that they knew. A year after our move we're still not fully established and we don't know the area that well, but we definitely have a little larger network than when we first moved here. We've gone hiking, to baseball games, dinners, etc with both new and old friends. This network has been incredibly kind and supportive to us throughout our transition. I'm sure this network will continue to expand as we get to know more people in the different aspects of our lives here in the Bay Area.

The same exact scenario plays out in online relationships and communities. It might even take more time, quite honestly, to build up rapport and trusting relationships that can be leveraged for a variety of different activities from professional development experiences to classroom projects. Just like moving to a new community, you have to be patient when you first enter an online community. Look for a few helpful people to get you started and they'll introduce you to many of their trusted connections. Be sure to share useful information as this helps you establish credibility and rapport in the online community. Build up a profile that includes your photo, your interests, your professional background, and links to any online spaces like a blog or wiki that you work in. Chances are that if you are an honest, thoughtful and caring contributor to the online community, that community will return the favor by supporting you in all sorts of powerful ways. And if you remain patient during the process of becoming acquainted with your online community, I think you'll find this to be an invaluable form of professional development and continuous learning.

The Tinkering School

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:06:00 +0000

This is one of my new favorite TED Talks from Gever Tulley about his Tinkering School. What if we made more learning objects available within our school communities and simply permitted members of the learning community to tinker?? This is only 4 minutes long...well worth your time, I promise.

You gotta see this...

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:36:00 +0000

This video has been passed around the Twitters in a viral manner this morning...if you haven't seen this video, take the 3+ minutes to do so now. This might be the most creative YouTube I've ever seen. What a beautiful piece of art!

What does your email signature look like??

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 04:26:00 +0000

With the movement to a new email system, I took the opportunity to create a fresh email signature. I took a screenshot of my signature and included it in this post. In the spirit of openness and transparency, I decided to include the major online workspaces that I use on a regular basis in my email signature. I hope that in some small way this models some possibilities for the many parents, teachers, students and administrators that I work with in my position as the instructional technology coordinator at my school.

How about you, what does your email signature look like??

My Summer Reading List

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:36:00 +0000

Below are a few books that I've either recently finished or plan to read at some point this summer. I should say that I've read all of these books so far using my iPhone and the kindle application. While I have many complaints about the proprietary nature of the kindle format, I must say that I find the iPhone to be an incredibly efficient e-reader. I believe I'm able to read at a much, much faster rate on my iPhone in comparison to a traditional book. I attribute this to being able to personalize the font size to the one that best suits my needs I do wish that Copy>Paste from the kindle worked...it would make it so much easier to reference excerpts from the text in blog posts.

Outliers - Malcolm Gladwell
I finished this book a few days ago and if I can get things together, I will post a review soon.

Doing School - How We Are Creating a Generation of Stressed Out, Materialistic, and Miseducated Students - Denise Pope
Probably the book that I've enjoyed the most thus far. Again, more thoughts as time allows.

The Google Story - Mark Maiseed
I started this book a few months ago and set it aside for a bit. I finally had the opportunity to finish it up last week. A good read, but I haven't enjoyed it nearly as much as the other Google-related book that I just started reading, What Would Google Do?

What Would Google Do? - Jeff Jarvis
This book is absolutely fascinating. I'm currently about at the half-way point in this book and feel as though it is a must read for school leadership. I've bookmarked many passages along the way and hope to reflect further on Jarvis' excellent book in a future post.

Mindset : The New Psychology of Success -Carol Dweck
This is our school's faculty summer reading book and I'm eager to begin reading this as it has been on my list for quite some time now.

Google Teacher Academy Application Video

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:30:00 +0000

Below you'll find the video that I created as a requirement of the application process for the Summer '09 Google Teacher Academy which is taking place in Boulder, CO in early August. Applicants for the GTA are required to submit a 60 second video either on the topic of "Motivation and Learning" or "Classroom Innovation." My video is on "Motivation and Learning." I really enjoyed the process of building up this piece and found it extraordinarily challenging to convey my message in this mixed media format in only 60 seconds of time. This has consumed my last couple of days...now it is time to step away from the computer and go into full summer teacher-bum-mode ;-) Project notes on how this video was created are included at the end of this post.

-All images used in this project are licensed in the Creative Commons and posted at flickr (a great big thank you to everyone who posts their content in the Creative Commons)

-The audio track is from an artist that goes by "Tryad" over at jamendo. This is the same audio track that was used in Michael Wesch's viral "A Vision of Students Today" video. Thank you for posting this song with a Creative Commons license, Tryad. Teacher geeks like me truly appreciate this.

-The slides were all assembed in the Google Docs Presentation tool. This is a web based slide authoring tool that I've really come to appreciate. I love how this platform faciliates collaboration and sharing. The Google Docs slides are posted online over here if you'd like to see them.

-After the slides were assembled, I started doing a few screen recordings with Jing Pro and then posting to YouTube. I probably posted 3-4 rough cuts in this manner. I struggled, though, with editing and timing of the video so ultimately I switched over to Screenflow. After recording in screenflow I adjusted the duration for the various slides and dropped in the audio track. This video was extremely helpful in optimizing the settings out of screenflow for posting in YouTube's HD format.

-The word cloud at the beginning of the video was created with wordle.

-There were many, many pieces and ideas that I had to leave out of this video. For example, I wanted to do a series of slides on, "What if...students could connect and collaborate with other students around the world...to solve complex probles, improve cultural sensitivity/awareness, etc." I'll have to save this for "What If 2.0" I guess!

Summercore Professional Development Experience Reflections

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:09:00 +0000

We just wrapped up an intense week of professional development on all things relating to educational technology. See my previous post to view a Michael Wesch inspired video that we created at the end of the week. All-in-all, I thought it really was an excellent experience with a total of 26 faculty members going through Summercore together. Below are a few questions and reflections I have

1. How can we share out our work from this week? We can do this virtually by making our Moodle site public and I think we could possibly do some sharing at a faculty meeting in August/September when we get back to school. What else can we do??

2. How can we make learning experiences like this a more regular part of our culture? While this was a fantastic week, it was only a single week. Can we make this type of learning a regular part of what we do without it becoming another add-on?

3. The cross pollination between teachers of different departments and divisions was immensely valuable. How can we extend the non-traditional groupings of faculty throughout the school year? Perhaps faculty could self form groups based upon professional learning interests.

4. Everyone was a teacher and a learner over the course of the week. Many thanks to Heather, Bear, Sarah and Doris for serving as faculty assistant instructors. The model of teachers teaching teachers is a good one and quite worthy of expanding.

5. The morning discussions where each person shared their thoughts on the previous evening's readings were fantastic. I only wish that some of these discussions took place virtually in moodle forums so that our faculty members would've had this experience as well.

6. I think the 8:30-5:30 days were about an hour or two too long. I think the days could've been shortened up to allow for more asynchronous reflection work in forums/blogs.

7. Did we focus too much on the tools in not enough on the concepts? For example, should it be, "iMovie and Voicethread," or rather, "Conveying a message through a mixed media narrative?"

A special thanks to Steve Bergen and Lynne Schalman of Summercore. This was our second year of working with them and they really have helped us progress in our thinking about the role of digital technology in learning. The "Olive Tree and the Lexus" metaphor is one that we'll all be grappling with as we move forward.

Castilleja Faculty - "A Vision of Learning Today"

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:13:00 +0000

Upon completion of an intense, week-long professional development experience on all things relating to "Learning 2.0" and digital learning, we created this short video response to Michael Wesch's "A Vision of Students Today." Be sure to watch Wesch's "A Vision of Students Today" if you haven't seen it yet.

I gotta go to garage sales more often...

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:00:00 +0000

I picked up this sweet little office ornament today from a neighbor's garage sale. He is a Google employee and is relocating to NYC. This is one of my best garage sale purchases...ever! Kind of fitting as my school just fully transitioned to Google Apps/Mail services this weekend!

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 07:20:00 +0000

I picked this one up from the Remote Access blog last night as I was surfing my reader. At 60 minutes, this is quite a long video, but it is worth a look to gain more familiarity with how online communities work. Folks who are skeptical of online communities as being "real" places where people develop relationships, collaborate, and empathize with one another will most likely struggle with this piece. Nevertheless, it is worth a look...

Senior Leadership Seminar

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Wed, 27 May 2009 22:26:00 +0000

Below is the recording and slide deck from a presentation that my colleague, Mary Jean Conlon, and I facilitated as part of our "Senior/Class of 2009 Leadership Seminar" series here at Castilleja. During the presentation we showed the students "A Vision of Students Today," we had them setup and populate an RSS reader, gave the students a tour of Google Books/News, and spent a small amount of time talking about digital identity. I really enjoyed working with Mary Jean in preparing for this seminar and in the delivery...she is a real pro and I'll miss her next year as she moves on to the field of healthcare IT.

Anytime, Anywhere, Summer 2009 Learning Opportunities

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:14:00 +0000

As we head into summer, I wanted to point out some wonderful multi-disciplinary learning opportunities that are entirely FREE and available anytime/anywhere.

1. Join the Classroom 2.0 online social/professional network and engage in some of the ongoing discussions. Classroom 2.0 is one of the largest global networks of educators and is a great place to meet other innovative teachers from around the world. You might also consider the Saturday morning (9:00 am pacific) "Classroom 2.0 Live" sessions, which are live, interactive webcasts that take place through a platform called Elluminate.

2. "Attend" the 2007 and/or 2008 K12 Online Conferences . Of course these conferences happened already, but they live on in the form of the archived audio/video presentations and web resources. The 2007 conference is archived here and the 2008 conference is archived here (if you'd like to go way back to 2006, that conference is archived as well).

3. Create a Twitter account and begin building up a global network of people with whom you can share resources and engage in conversation. The easiest way to start out is to create an account (be sure to use a picture and fill out the profile information) and follow folks that other Twitter users here at Castilleja are following (Flaurie, Nanci, Matt, Steve, Bear, and Heather are a few who use Twitter). It can take several months to really start to understand the value of professional networking via Twitter...stick with it and be patient!

4. Join the Independent School Educators Network. This is another social network, but it is primarily targeted toward independent school educators around the world. Be sure to join the Castilleja and the Mid-Peninsula groups and then check out the forums to join the discussions.

5. Join Facebook if you haven't already. There are some wonderful education related groups that you might consider joining, like the Global Educational Collaborative, Teaching and Learning with Facebook, Shift Happens: Bringing Education into the 21st Century, Parents as Partners, Edutopia, and the Stanford University Fan page. You could also become a fan of the Bucky Badger page to get your Wisconsin fix!

6. Start a blog. A blog is an excellent way to reflect and share out on your practice. Your professional blog would be a great space to share our your summer '09 professional development experiences. If you do start a blog, consider dropping the link in a comment so we can share it out with other members of our learning community. There are many places to blog...I would suggest Blogger and Edublogs for ease of use.

Of course there are many, many other wonderful open and free opportunities for professional development on the web. If you come across any others not on this list, drop the links in a comment on this post.

Good luck with your summer 2009 professional development pursuits!

Senior Seminar Series Reflections

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Tue, 19 May 2009 22:43:00 +0000

Today I had the good fortune of teaming with our powerhouse librarian, Mary Jean Conlon, on a "College Research Survival Guide" type of presentation. We worked with three groups of 20 students for an hour each this morning. Our time together was spent participating in several different multi-dimensional activities (we were "quadrupal" tasking at certain points for sure). By the end of the period we wanted every student to know how to collect RSS feeds from a variety of locations (including the ProQuest database, Google News, and a few others). We also had the goal of testing cell phones as an interactive response platform through the use of Poll Everywhere. Finally, we wanted to take some time to challenge the students to begin (if they haven't already) thinking about their digital identity. To keep this post short, I simply want to say that I think we were fairly successful with most of our objectives in this experience.

Here is a layout of how we implemented this activity:

1. We started out with a few ice breaker polls...we had students straggling in late to the sessions and the poll provided a fun way to start things out. It set a light tone, which I think is quite important for seniors at this time in the year. It also served the purpose of introducing students to the concept of interactive audience polling via cell phones, which is a technique that many of these students may use for future presentations of their own. Poll Everywhere worked great as a tool to collect responses to these ice breaker activities/questions (see our presentation embedded below to see some of the questions that we asked students to weigh in on via their cell phones).

2. After a few polls, we showed the students Michael Wesch's "A Vision of Students Today." I have to say that this was the highlight of the session for me. Upon completion of the video, students were encouraged to send a text message with their first thoughts on the video. Students were encouraged to text a sentence, a phrase or even a word that indicated their feelings about the video. Some of the responses were light and silly, but many were very, very deep. Check out their responses online here.

3. The next portion of our time together was spent with Mary Jean, our head librarian, leading a conversation about RSS, Readers, and feeds. This was fantastic, with all of our learners getting their Google Reader up and running and populated with a few feeds. The students really enjoyed the Commoncraft RSS in Plain English Video as well.

4. We closed out with a far too brief discussion of "Your Digital Identity." We essentially encouraged students to think about what they want to appear on the results page of an open Google web search for their name. Over the next four years of their lives it will become increasingly important for the students to manage this identitiy, and while we just scratched the surface today, I'm glad we at least had a few minutes to consider this topic together.

Slides from our presentation today (I recorded audio and at some point in the future will post a slidecast over at Slideshare).

Anatomy of a 24 Hour Webcastathon

Moodle Google Integration... "MooGoogle"

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 18:49:00 +0000

We've made some really great progress on integrating a Moodle virtual learning network and a Google Apps for Education collaboration/communication network. Major, major props to my co-worker, Adam Contois, for engineering this on the software side of things. Adam is a model 21st century school IT professional who believes in the importance of providing free/open source collaboration tools that empower members of the learning community.

While we are just scratching the surface on what this might mean and look like for us here at Castilleja, we now know the following based upon the setup instructions over at Ben Wilkhoff's blog:

1. Accounts are created and managed in Moodle (or, you may use LDAP to manage your accounts). No need to re-create the accounts in the Google admin console.

2. When the user signs in to Moodle, they see a block with links to gmail, calendar, docs, etc. When they click a link, they're taken to a page where they have to enter a word verification code and accept the Google Terms of Service. After they accept, a Google Apps account is automatically created for them.

3. All authentication/sign-in happens via moodle. If a user attempts to go directly to Google Apps, they are re-directed to Moodle to authenticate. After signing in at Moodle, they are bumped over to Google Apps. While we like this, we also know that this could be a weakness. What happens if Moodle goes down? Or, in our case, Moodle sits on our network and we're concerned about network outages that would prevent users from getting to their Google mail, docs, etc. We're in the process of developing a redundancy so that if Moodle does bork out, the users would be able to sign in directly at the Google Apps page (chance are that the uptime with Google is going to be MUCH higher than anything a school organization can provide).

That is it for now...I just wanted to leave this reflection to share our progress to date. A screencast that shows this process will be posted later. Many thanks to Ben for sharing this on his blog.

Below is a wonderful "CommonCraft" inspired video that brings to life the power associated with an approach to instructional design that utilizes Google Apps for EDU, Moodle, blogs and wikis:

Google Mail Transition Proposal

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 01:07:00 +0000

I worked collaboratively with our technology department to prepare this presentation and proposal for our school community. In this Slidecast recording, Steve Taffee and I gave a presentation to our school community on the proposed idea of moving from our current collaboration system, FirstClass, to Google Apps/Mail for Education as our core collaborative environment.

This slidecast is posted in the spirit of openness and sharing. It is also posted for any of our faculty and staff who were unable to attend the meeting after school today. A link to our planning site that we created for this proposed transition is included below the slidecast. Your comments and feedback are welcome.

Earthcast 2009 24 Hour Webcastathon!

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 01:06:00 +0000

Well, Earthcast/Earthbridges team member Jason Robertshaw has done it again. View the brief promo/teaser video that he created for this year's Earthcast09 24 Hour Webcastathon at the end of this post. The Earthcast09 24 Hour Webcast will take place on Wednesday, April 22nd (we're observing the day as it moves through Greenwich, England, so it actually begins on Tuesday, April 21st at 5:00 pm here in the Bay Area). While we have many hours of the day covered, we still have several openings for participation and could really appreciate your help. If you'd like to participate (even for just a few minutes, drop us an email at earthbridges (at) gmail dot com or leave a comment on this blog. We could really use some help from our friends in the Asiatic region of the globe as we have several uncovered hours from 5-9 GMT. See the schedule as it exists so far at our plannning wiki to see what hours are still available.

Earthcast09 is essentially a 24 hour long live Internet broadcast about all things relating to the environment. Topics will include green energy, green technology, college campus sustainability efforts, an update from environmental law professor Jason Czarnezki, students from schools around the world sharing what they're doing to improve the planet, and live call-in segments where listeners share their thoughts and ideas about environmental issues. We have several hours of the day where elementary, middle, high school, and university students will be leading the conversations.

We'll be streaming this broadcast live over at Earthbridges.net for 24 hours straight, so please support our efforts by tuning in as much as possible throughout the day. And please spread the word about this project.

Thanks again to Jason Robertshaw for this fantastic promo video!!

Webcast: Moving to Google Mail/Google Apps for Education

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 16:35:00 +0000

This was a skype conference call that we streamed out to a ustream channel today on the topic of migrating to Google's enterprise mail system. We had a handful of other schools who have either made the decision or are pondering the decision to move toward Google for school/district mail hosting. We had a bumpy start early on in the conversation, but then things even out and I thought it ended up being a worthwhile experience.

As a side note, this enterprise collaboration/communication network is given out to K12 public/non-profit schools for free. More on Google Apps for Education here.

Thanks to all who contributed and participated!

This I Believe

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:53:00 +0000

I'm working with a colleague and a small team of students next Tuesday on a project very much inspired by the NPR "This I Believe" series. Tuesday is a community service day at our school and students chose this project from several different options.

The idea is for the students to articulate their own personal/philosophical beliefs in a way that ties into their beliefs about community service. Their end artifact will be some type of mixed media piece that they post at YouTube and then embed in a forum over at our moodle community for this project. Overall the group was positive on this and I think we're going to see some stellar samples.

Below is my sample and the artifact from my colleague Christy. I'm a big believer that we, as teachers, should take the risk and try these types of projects right along with the students as a way to not only model, but also as a means to develop our own skills with conveying a message via mixed media.

Guest Host - Edtech Talk Brainstorm (ETBS)

noreply@blogger.com (Matt Montagne and friends) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 04:47:00 +0000

Last night I twittered out a statement that I essentially have been thinking about for quite some time over the past couple of years. In my twitter post I said, "I'd like to see schools showcase wonderful learning artifacts of students in the same way that school athletic departments do." This is in no way a knock against the fine community building activities that school atheltic departments have been doing...it was more a statement of, "Why can't we showcast academics and non-athlectics like that?"

Doug Symington, the regular host of the standing Thursday night Edtechtalk.com show titled, "Edtech Talk Brainstorm," sent me a message asking if I'd like to guest host the Brainstorm and discuss that point a little further. I sent Doug a message saying I'd be happy to fill in. So I did. And the recording of this 60 minutes+ ETBS is posted below. We meandered quite a bit as often happens on the brainstorm and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Thanks to Doug for joining remotely via cell phone to help get things started and thanks to Peggy George for joining me during the last half of the show. In the webcast we talked Gator Radio, the Kindle, student posting of learning artifacts, all things twitter, cheap time shifting technologies in schools, etc. Thanks to everyone who listened live...I will try to strip out a pure mp3 and get that posted over at the ETBS page at Edtechtalk.com soon.

Click here to listen to the audio in a ustream flash player. Again, I'll strip out the mp3 audio and repost when I get some time.
