2008-01-01 21:30:35 atruger thatks

2008-01-01 21:30:44 BradHicks blogging tends to allow the personal voice of the student to come through

2008-01-01 21:30:45 dennis yes itunes

2008-01-01 21:30:46 lorisheldon @JohnS Yes!

2008-01-01 21:30:48 cheryloakes wow2008 durff thanks for keeping track of folks getting the sound, you are the best

2008-01-01 21:30:52 bobsprankle hi joyce!

2008-01-01 21:30:52 JenWagner Hello Joyce -- Happy New Year!!

2008-01-01 21:30:57 Durff joyce is in the house!

2008-01-01 21:30:57 Vicki Davis We have to be able to answer this question because it is something that we will be asked a lot!

2008-01-01 21:30:59 khokanson I think blog writing is more authentic form of writing

2008-01-01 21:31:02 [email protected] @Barb Apple has some good tutorials on their web site for using the mac. check it out

2008-01-01 21:31:05 JohnS It doesn't need to be a different genre, but you do have to talk about voice and formality, etc.

2008-01-01 21:31:06 heyjudeonline Hi JOyce....greetings from OZ

2008-01-01 21:31:12 dgoodman i think blogging gives more purpose for writing when you know others will be reading and responding

2008-01-01 21:31:12 BarbInNebraska teachable moments, absolutely!

2008-01-01 21:31:15 diane That's right - blogging brings responsibilities & accountability!

2008-01-01 21:31:18 joycevalenza hi all!

2008-01-01 21:31:49 courosa there's that troublesome phrase again (digital citizenship), vicki. :-)

2008-01-01 21:31:50 ijesspederson blog writing is something more students will use the rest of thier lives, right?

2008-01-01 21:31:51 dgoodman hi dennis

2008-01-01 21:31:57 JohnS @Art: maybe a good communicator is also a good blogger

2008-01-01 21:31:59 Durff welcome dennis

2008-01-01 21:32:01 joycevalenza No problem, judy!

2008-01-01 21:32:10 ijesspederson v.s. old school essays

2008-01-01 21:32:15 cindy p Hi all! Happy New Year!

2008-01-01 21:32:18 [email protected] Welcome Dennis

2008-01-01 21:32:26 diane Good post by langwitches re. global audience

2008-01-01 21:32:39 courosa chat sure slows down with this many people

2008-01-01 21:32:46 BradHicks blogs are interactive - essays are not

2008-01-01 21:32:48 dennis is there an easy way to @ a particular speaker?

2008-01-01 21:32:50 joycevalenza bloging is responsive, interactive,

2008-01-01 21:32:54 joycevalenza leveling

2008-01-01 21:32:56 sharonp Blogging encourages appropriate use of online communication

2008-01-01 21:33:05 JohnS @dennis: I just type it in.

2008-01-01 21:33:17 derrallg @courosa Firefox tanked on me so I'm trying Flock

2008-01-01 21:33:17 heyjudeonline stronger cultural connections

2008-01-01 21:33:22 JohnS It's a form used here to target things to particular people. Everyone still sees the message, though.

2008-01-01 21:33:25 joycevalenza you can essay in a blog, but you can't blog in an essay

2008-01-01 21:33:26 dennis okay @johns

2008-01-01 21:33:28 bobsprankle <waves to maria knee>

2008-01-01 21:33:36 diane Do world curriculums mesh well or at all?

2008-01-01 21:33:39 Durff it motivates all the learners

2008-01-01 21:33:39 Art Gelwicks Blogging is the digital version of old school letter writing.

2008-01-01 21:33:41 dgoodman good point Joyce

2008-01-01 21:33:42 JohnS You can IM a particular person by right clicking on them in the list.

2008-01-01 21:33:42 sharonp great point Joyce

2008-01-01 21:33:44 Cathyjo in one of my administration classes we had a whole class on global culture differences--talked about pets in diff culture--what a shocker!!

2008-01-01 21:33:50 Maria thanks bob - back at you

2008-01-01 21:34:05 heyjudeonline @art gelwicks sometimes its just penpal stuff...I agree

2008-01-01 21:34:24 BarbInNebraska :)

2008-01-01 21:34:27 Vicki Davis @CathyJo and EXPERIENCING the differences is even more amazing! Part of it is just understanding that there IS a difference.

2008-01-01 21:34:32 heyjudeonline absolutely!! we encourage reflection!!

2008-01-01 21:34:38 cheryloakes wow2008 hi mariaK

2008-01-01 21:34:39 Cathyjo I tell all my national board mentees to blog to improve their reflective ability

2008-01-01 21:34:41 diane Reflection is a vital part of Big6

2008-01-01 21:34:52 khokanson wow that is such a great point Vicki

2008-01-01 21:34:54 Vicki Davis Should students and teachers reflect at the end of each course and should it be readable by all at the school?

2008-01-01 21:35:06 dennis reflection is at the heart of the matter of learning.

2008-01-01 21:35:06 Durff i say yes

2008-01-01 21:35:09 derrallg @diane yes, it reminds me to make sure I do it

2008-01-01 21:35:13 Cathyjo refelection is a big requirement for national board too

2008-01-01 21:35:17 BradHicks world curriculums can find lots of connections - we recently read a story to students in the US (Cathy Evanoff) from Australia - it was received really well by the students and helps to teach about other cultures in a much more engaging way

2008-01-01 21:35:17 BarbInNebraska @Vicki, our principal encourages it

2008-01-01 21:35:26 heyjudeonline @VICKI DAVIS that's handing over control to the students...good

2008-01-01 21:35:27 Maria hey cheryl - busy night - great show

2008-01-01 21:35:28 Vicki Davis @Barb does he read it?

2008-01-01 21:35:31 lorisheldon hmm never thought about it, have kids do it verbally, why not blog it

2008-01-01 21:35:37 diane Easy version: Plan, Do, Review (what worked, what didn't)

2008-01-01 21:35:42 BarbInNebraska @vicki, no she doesn't it's for us.

2008-01-01 21:35:43 khokanson How many teachers DO reflect on themselves as learners and use feedback from their students

2008-01-01 21:35:45 Vicki Davis WE LOSE so much learning that WE can have by not refleting.

2008-01-01 21:35:48 Vicki Davis reflecting

2008-01-01 21:35:48 dennis schools at not organized to support teacher reflection and communication.

2008-01-01 21:35:51 JenWagner http://learnweb2.wetpaint.com/

2008-01-01 21:35:59 JackieB @khokanson - I do.

2008-01-01 21:36:03 BradHicks we used skype to directly connect with students in other countries

2008-01-01 21:36:05 sroseman students have reflective journals ... even in the younger grades

2008-01-01 21:36:06 Cathyjo asking students to assess their engagement is a cause for reflection too

2008-01-01 21:36:08 khokanson @dennis this is a great point

2008-01-01 21:36:19 cheryloakes wow2008 good point cathyjo

2008-01-01 21:36:22 heyjudeonline thanks for the link Jen

2008-01-01 21:36:27 sharonp The link learnweb2 has a diagram of Quebec Education program and where web 2 fits in - have been working on this

2008-01-01 21:36:28 cheryloakes wow2008 yes, susanr

2008-01-01 21:36:35 JenWagner :)

2008-01-01 21:36:38 khokanson @jackieb those who are blogging, twittering DO...how many teachers are blogging and twittering?

2008-01-01 21:36:44 diane Wanted to have my blog accepted for PD requirement - not accepted.Blog anyway

2008-01-01 21:36:46 khokanson in my experience, not many

2008-01-01 21:36:50 BradHicks reflection can be very short and spntaneous and doesn't have to be formal all of the time

2008-01-01 21:36:53 [email protected] @khokanson I find that teachers don't like to do reflections themselves even though they require their students to do reflections

2008-01-01 21:36:56 JenWagner Welcome Kern!!!

2008-01-01 21:36:58 Durff hi kern

2008-01-01 21:37:00 dennis there are teachers reflecting in spots, but most are not supported in that direction.

2008-01-01 21:37:05 sharonp Reflection is a key component of competency development

2008-01-01 21:37:06 cheryloakes wow2008 Hello Kern, do you have your new baby?yet?

2008-01-01 21:37:08 Kern Hi All!

2008-01-01 21:37:10 Vicki Davis And searchable?

2008-01-01 21:37:12 BarbInNebraska @khokanson, how can I get other teachers' on Twitter? I have a few, like you!

2008-01-01 21:37:17 Cathyjo wonder if I could get mine approoved for pd???

2008-01-01 21:37:21 JenWagner waiting to hear from Kern!!!

2008-01-01 21:37:22 Kern no :( - very soon :D

2008-01-01 21:37:26 lorisheldon @khokanson in fact, PA teach assoc. I belong to almost discourages it

2008-01-01 21:37:31 JenWagner congrats in advance!!!!

2008-01-01 21:37:35 JackieB @khokanson - Aren't the all? </sarcasm>

2008-01-01 21:37:38 Kern we're ready!

2008-01-01 21:38:02 Cathyjo some student reflections can be eye opening

2008-01-01 21:38:04 BradHicks I think teachers are reluctant to reflect or don't value it because they are often time-poor and stress about getting through the content - when of course, they could improve student retention and learning with more regular reflection

2008-01-01 21:38:09 diane NOt anonymous, so tread carefully - show my blog to students

2008-01-01 21:38:10 khokanson PSEA cautions teachers that they shouldn't reflect / blog publically

2008-01-01 21:38:13 sharonp why are the Americans so against blogging??

2008-01-01 21:38:19 stevesoko Hmm, just redoing my 3 year goal plan this week, using a blog to reflect on progress will be a good idea

2008-01-01 21:38:21 dennis i am one of the few superintendents i know of who is blogging actively about learning, leadership and technology

2008-01-01 21:38:31 KarenJanowski @jackieb - Happy Birthday three days late!

2008-01-01 21:38:36 khokanson @bradhicks and public reflection is VERY transparent

2008-01-01 21:38:45 diane Blogging not easy to "control"

2008-01-01 21:38:45 Durff brad - they are emphasizing content over process - right?

2008-01-01 21:38:48 JackieB @KarenJan - Thanks!

2008-01-01 21:38:48 Kern Fear of transparency

2008-01-01 21:38:49 Cathyjo the powers that be can't sep socail networking and blogging : (

2008-01-01 21:38:50 BradHicks why don't they recommend reflection publically?

2008-01-01 21:38:55 BarbInNebraska LOL, rate my teachers!

2008-01-01 21:38:57 dennis i karenjanowski

2008-01-01 21:39:02 Durff hi langwitches

2008-01-01 21:39:05 JohnS The teachers associations are afraid that teachers may say inappropriate things, and then be held accountable for what they're saying.

2008-01-01 21:39:06 khokanson @dennis what is your blog would like to connect you with my asst supt

2008-01-01 21:39:07 KarenJanowski Hi, Dennisar!

2008-01-01 21:39:07 dgoodman I wish I had known more about blogging and had been doing it before going through Nationnal Board

2008-01-01 21:39:10 Art Gelwicks "Do not blog" quoth the legal representative of the district.

2008-01-01 21:39:10 heyjudeonline I'd love to have more of you join me on twitter "heyjudeonline"

2008-01-01 21:39:12 KarenJanowski great to have you here

2008-01-01 21:39:16 Cathyjo check--i said that!

2008-01-01 21:39:20 diane Hi, langwitches - mentioned your blog

2008-01-01 21:39:23 khokanson she needs to see more ex of admin bloggers

2008-01-01 21:39:24 dougsymington finding one's voice as a blogger is a great way to "reflect" however, the "learning in public" angle is/can be intimidating/career-limiting

2008-01-01 21:39:25 Vicki Davis @Art -- WHAT? Tell me more!

2008-01-01 21:39:26 lorisheldon blog etiquite

2008-01-01 21:39:30 heyjudeonline they sure do!!

2008-01-01 21:39:34 diane If Admin. doesn

2008-01-01 21:39:37 BarbInNebraska @heyjude, I'm BarbInNebraska on Twitter!

2008-01-01 21:39:40 langwitches Hello

2008-01-01 21:39:43 BradHicks reflection was an integral part of our teacher education program

2008-01-01 21:39:46 sharonp so it is about liability??

2008-01-01 21:39:48 dennis @langwitches - liked your post on organizing on google

2008-01-01 21:39:50 diane doesn't trust staff, shouldn't hire them

2008-01-01 21:39:55 Vicki Davis It is about control.

2008-01-01 21:40:02 Cathyjo im signed in tday as my twitter name.

2008-01-01 21:40:02 heyjudeonline low percentages! for sure

2008-01-01 21:40:03 mhobkirk @heyjude, I'm mhobkirk on Twitter

2008-01-01 21:40:13 Durff so i'm abnormal? better believe it!

2008-01-01 21:40:16 Art Gelwicks The common legal position is to avoid liability by not allowing unmonitored communications.

2008-01-01 21:40:21 langwitches @dennis thank you

2008-01-01 21:40:24 JenWagner Durff -- LOL - yep -- we all are :)

2008-01-01 21:40:25 jomcleay Twitter I'm jomcleay

2008-01-01 21:40:26 Cathyjo ABSOLUTELY Jen

2008-01-01 21:40:32 Kern @vicki control and transparency

2008-01-01 21:40:33 diane Here in NYS it's teaching to the test

2008-01-01 21:40:33 JohnS @Art -- exactly

2008-01-01 21:40:36 Cathyjo or Cheryl

2008-01-01 21:40:38 Cathyjo who was that?

2008-01-01 21:40:42 dennis students have to learn to own their own thinking

2008-01-01 21:40:44 JenWagner LOL -- Both of us

2008-01-01 21:40:49 BradHicks Brad's wife, Kelly Anderson has taken over this chat :-) Brad is holding one of our twin babies. Hi Jo

2008-01-01 21:40:52 courosa my digital interns are starting to come into the field with a strong feel for reflective blogging ... but it is SUCH a battle

2008-01-01 21:40:55 diane We were told to be careful in email because of FOIL

2008-01-01 21:40:58 JohnS Anything you say can be used against you, so if you don't say anything, you're off the hook.

2008-01-01 21:41:01 Durff why are adults so into control?

2008-01-01 21:41:02 jomcleay Hi Kelly

2008-01-01 21:41:05 JenWagner Pass one of those babies over here too!! :)

2008-01-01 21:41:08 Art Gelwicks Actually our school can blog. Most districts advise against it though.

2008-01-01 21:41:09 Cathyjo what is foil Diane

2008-01-01 21:41:11 dgoodman i think when admin models, you see more from teachers

2008-01-01 21:41:20 [email protected] I'm BookPushinTechi (no e) on Twitter

2008-01-01 21:41:21 Kern I've been asked for that exact thing - a principal wanted to read everything teachers post

2008-01-01 21:41:22 cheryloakes wow2008 Welcome Kelly Anderson, twins, how are you

2008-01-01 21:41:23 Art Gelwicks Our school encourages teacher blogging.

2008-01-01 21:41:23 diane Freedom of information law

2008-01-01 21:41:24 jomcleay @JohnS oh that's terrible

2008-01-01 21:41:26 Cathyjo Yeah i cited her in my article

2008-01-01 21:41:33 heyjudeonline no, it's not through yet

2008-01-01 21:41:34 CathyE @Kelly and Brad- you made many many children very happy at Christmas- thank you so much

2008-01-01 21:41:36 joycevalenza yes, i think she is almost there

2008-01-01 21:41:39 Cathyjo oh yes!

2008-01-01 21:41:41 JohnS @jo I know. We're very afraid over here.

2008-01-01 21:41:43 dennis @dggodman yes on the adm modeling

2008-01-01 21:41:47 Maria I am so glad that it is not an issue for me in my district - shhhh - don't tell them we're not supposed to blog!

2008-01-01 21:41:47 heyjudeonline she's still researching I think

2008-01-01 21:41:58 dgoodman control of blogs and other web 2.0 is more about classroom management

2008-01-01 21:42:02 JackieB @maria - nor am I (shhh)

2008-01-01 21:42:03 courosa still a PhD candidate ... still needs to complete dissertation

2008-01-01 21:42:10 BradHicks twins are tiring but beautiful - it makes teaching look like a breeze

2008-01-01 21:42:10 Art Gelwicks What if we stop calling it "blogging"

2008-01-01 21:42:15 Vicki Davis @courosa -- She has so so much influence.

2008-01-01 21:42:16 diane Most interactive sites blocked at my school..but not Twitter

2008-01-01 21:42:16 joycevalenza she can present in a way most academics cannot

2008-01-01 21:42:21 Durff no it's not the word

2008-01-01 21:42:25 Vicki Davis @Art Then they won't know what it is -- why not just call it reflections?

2008-01-01 21:42:25 Cathyjo it is so higly associated with social nw in general

2008-01-01 21:42:30 Durff it's the lack of control

2008-01-01 21:42:32 gingertplc maybe this has been discussed earlier...how many of you have "private" blogs where you speak more openly?

2008-01-01 21:42:32 courosa http://www.danah.org/

2008-01-01 21:42:34 Kern If admins are scared of teachers blogging, what will they think of the students blogging ;)

2008-01-01 21:42:35 JohnS In my district, I've received a lot of positive feedback from admin, teachers, and parents. But I'm also not working with kids, and I'm having a hard time getting the teachers to jump on board.

2008-01-01 21:42:38 Art Gelwicks "Digital writing development"

2008-01-01 21:42:42 JenWagner how about Online Journaling??

2008-01-01 21:42:43 atruger My district is so not ready to even try. I am the only one in my whole district who blogs

2008-01-01 21:42:44 dgoodman teachers feel overwhelmed with what they have to do and this is one more thing to some - they dont really see the purpose and end outcome

2008-01-01 21:42:47 shoemap Many think blog = myspace = bad

2008-01-01 21:42:49 diane Yes Jo, we have to reinvent the terms for the reluctant

2008-01-01 21:42:51 Cathyjo fro pete sake look at the def of MySpace in Wikipedia--they call it a blog too

2008-01-01 21:42:52 BradHicks good point Art - let's make up a secret word that only we know lol

2008-01-01 21:42:57 JohnS @ginger: who would you allow to read it?

2008-01-01 21:42:58 Durff my principal read my blog then told me he did

2008-01-01 21:43:01 dennis how many of you know teachers or administrators who write?

2008-01-01 21:43:04 dougsymington electronic soapbox

2008-01-01 21:43:08 Durff so i wouldn't freak

2008-01-01 21:43:08 sroseman yes, Diane I noticed Twitter is not blogged here in our school district in Ottawa

2008-01-01 21:43:10 Kern I use web presence for the lot - wiki, blog, etc

2008-01-01 21:43:18 Art Gelwicks Better - "Technical Writing Interactive Training" We can use the initials when discussing it with people who don't get it.

2008-01-01 21:43:20 JenWagner My admin DOES read my blog

2008-01-01 21:43:20 lorisheldon @durff what was his.her reaction

2008-01-01 21:43:24 Cathyjo my email sig has my blog

2008-01-01 21:43:25 diane ONly me in my district...probably my BOCES

2008-01-01 21:43:28 cheryloakes wow2008 i like that kern, web presence

2008-01-01 21:43:28 Durff he loved it

2008-01-01 21:43:28 ijesspederson ijohn had to but a dislaimer on his blog back in Superior saying they were HIS opinions not the districts

2008-01-01 21:43:28 JenWagner My admin is BLOGGING now too

2008-01-01 21:43:32 cindy p @shoemap: I agree adults seem to tie the two together

2008-01-01 21:43:34 courosa "collaborative learning" is strange too.

2008-01-01 21:43:34 Cathyjo the one i use at home and school

2008-01-01 21:43:44 gingertplc @JohnS: im guessing you'd network under a pseudonym?

2008-01-01 21:43:46 BradHicks web presence is a good one

2008-01-01 21:43:48 Vicki Davis But isn't blogging an educational term now?

2008-01-01 21:43:51 BarbInNebraska I had to sign an internet use form. I had to disclose that I use Twitter and FB

2008-01-01 21:43:52 JenWagner but my admin is ONLY blogging for the Washington DC trip

2008-01-01 21:43:52 heyjudeonline there are MANY definitions and philosophies in constructivism

2008-01-01 21:43:54 diane NCLB is the strangest of all + AYP

2008-01-01 21:44:00 heyjudeonline you can't just grab one view of it.

2008-01-01 21:44:00 JenWagner but I will bring them in slowly

2008-01-01 21:44:06 Cathyjo used to blog anonymously, but have changed that

2008-01-01 21:44:08 heyjudeonline that's one of the problems..and confusions.

2008-01-01 21:44:10 ijesspederson it should be and educational term

2008-01-01 21:44:10 courosa the problem is blog and wiki are words outside of educaTion coming in ... vs. constructivism which is from the field

2008-01-01 21:44:10 cheryloakes wow2008 good point Sharon, generic terms will help

2008-01-01 21:44:10 dennis i think we have to teach and expect teachers and adm to write about practice.

2008-01-01 21:44:19 gingertplc I don't do that because I work with a terrifi organization

2008-01-01 21:44:21 Kern @cheryl it's something most teachers/admins can handle and understand and want their students to have

2008-01-01 21:44:29 JohnS @ginger: I think blogging in a closed system would be weird. The people I would want to keep from reading the blog would be the people inside.

2008-01-01 21:44:31 Maria Teachers can write journal articles without permission from admin - can't they?

2008-01-01 21:44:33 CathyE @Barb- I'm impressed they knew twitter

2008-01-01 21:44:34 Cathyjo my friends who do not blog do not like for me to talk about names--name drop

2008-01-01 21:44:36 khokanson @jen wagner my admin does too...my goal is to get THEM reflecting too

2008-01-01 21:44:38 JenWagner smiles -- think of the weird words sports have too -- or hobbies -- everything has a unique "terminology"

2008-01-01 21:44:39 khokanson and blogging

2008-01-01 21:44:43 gingertplc @cathyjo: whey did you change?

2008-01-01 21:44:46 BradHicks surely once the majority of teachers out there are using blogging etcit will become the norm rather than the rare - and we won't even need to have this debate

2008-01-01 21:44:47 diane My staff thought delicious was a p*** site

2008-01-01 21:44:51 BarbInNebraska @cathyE, I don't think they did, but I disclosed it

2008-01-01 21:44:53 dennis @maria - yes from this adm

2008-01-01 21:44:54 Cathyjo prob 6 mos ago

2008-01-01 21:44:58 Vicki Davis @Jen - I think these terms should just become part of what we learn how to do.

2008-01-01 21:45:03 JenWagner KHokanson -- I am looking forward to meetin you at EDUCON2

2008-01-01 21:45:10 joycevalenza when will we reach critical mass?

2008-01-01 21:45:12 Cathyjo but ive always used my real FACE in twitter

2008-01-01 21:45:12 stevesoko I do think I censor myself in blogging.

2008-01-01 21:45:15 Durff hostile is accurate - sadly

2008-01-01 21:45:19 gingertplc CathyJo--sorry meant WHY?

2008-01-01 21:45:20 Vicki Davis We learn what we want to learn -- look at what football coaches have to learn -- the terminology is not easy.

2008-01-01 21:45:23 Cathyjo and my real face on my blog

2008-01-01 21:45:24 sharonp The reality is that we are not near critical mass -

2008-01-01 21:45:32 courosa A recent post of mine touches on this .. the language we use ... http://educationaltechnology.ca/couros/734

2008-01-01 21:45:34 BarbInNebraska @cathyjo, I use a picture of me at age 4

2008-01-01 21:45:35 JohnS @steve we all have to self-censor when writing anything.

2008-01-01 21:45:37 dennis if you get them comfortable with writing, blogging will not be an issue.

2008-01-01 21:45:38 Cathyjo ppl at Edubloggercon knew me b/c of my avatar and picture

2008-01-01 21:45:40 ehelfant @Vicki speaking of FB GA winning 14-3 appears it will be an easy win

2008-01-01 21:45:43 stevesoko At times I wrote and then said, no I should not have said it that way

2008-01-01 21:45:46 atruger Pre service teachers aren't learning about blogging and social networking

2008-01-01 21:45:56 Kern if Microsoft calls them podcasts, I think everyone can :)

2008-01-01 21:45:57 Durff some are

2008-01-01 21:45:58 BradHicks aren't the numbers on this forum increasing all of the time - surely this demonstrates critical mass is not far away?

2008-01-01 21:46:02 diane Hard to balance privacy & desire to build a reputation

2008-01-01 21:46:04 Maria We are encouraged to write about our practice - for local newpapers and through classroom blogs, web page or newsletters

2008-01-01 21:46:04 khokanson @jen YOU TOO..would like to meet up to do convention center if Chris doesn't need help in the am

2008-01-01 21:46:17 dennis @stevesoko too much control

2008-01-01 21:46:22 BarbInNebraska I vote for renaming!

2008-01-01 21:46:28 ijesspederson i wish people wouldn't be so fearful of new WORDS and concepts!!!! GRRR

2008-01-01 21:46:28 Durff i want to know what's for lunch

2008-01-01 21:46:29 stevesoko It is hard to be direct and true about my school life and not offend somebody I work with to the whole Internet

2008-01-01 21:46:29 cindy p The terms seem so foreign to the average everyday person and scare the ..... out of them

2008-01-01 21:46:31 JenWagner I plan to do the Constitution Center by 1 and be back to SLA for the afternoon session

2008-01-01 21:46:40 courosa The culture needs to change, not the terms.

2008-01-01 21:46:44 Durff good luck jen

2008-01-01 21:46:49 diane Students will change but schools are reluctant to change

2008-01-01 21:46:49 Durff won't happen

2008-01-01 21:46:51 Cathyjo @jen now I might be able to make that

2008-01-01 21:46:53 BarbInNebraska @steve, that's true

2008-01-01 21:46:57 Art Gelwicks Nice thought but it's quicker to change the term.

2008-01-01 21:47:00 joycevalenza the constitution ctr is wonderful!

2008-01-01 21:47:02 khokanson connectivity is SO NATURAL for my 7 year old

2008-01-01 21:47:06 Kern the students aren't the one who need help with them terms

2008-01-01 21:47:07 dennis changing a word is not the issue - a blog of any other name is still a blog

2008-01-01 21:47:10 Cathyjo is she reinvigorated?

2008-01-01 21:47:12 jomcleay Interesting article: http://tinyurl.com/3cvof8

2008-01-01 21:47:14 bobsprankle agreed

2008-01-01 21:47:15 JenWagner Joyce -- it IS -- and I only saw it for 1 hour

2008-01-01 21:47:19 Durff i agree dennis

2008-01-01 21:47:20 sharonp @courosa - thankks for sharing that - my husband likes to quote from Paradox of Choice

2008-01-01 21:47:23 Vicki Davis @dennis -- I think it is getting more people to use it.

2008-01-01 21:47:36 BradHicks changing the terminology won't change the attitudes that hold back many teachers

2008-01-01 21:47:40 atruger The only person who likes change is a wet baby.

2008-01-01 21:47:48 Cathyjo once it is used it is already old school tho

2008-01-01 21:47:48 Durff :)

2008-01-01 21:47:49 dgoodman I agre Brad

2008-01-01 21:47:51 BarbInNebraska LOL, atruger!

2008-01-01 21:47:55 ijesspederson lol wet baby

2008-01-01 21:48:00 dougsymington love the "walled garden for teachers" model for new "users"

2008-01-01 21:48:04 dennis @ vicki yes - just start doing it is my message across Massachusetts

2008-01-01 21:48:16 Vicki Davis @dennis make some private nings

2008-01-01 21:48:20 ijesspederson ijohn meets resistance to change every day

2008-01-01 21:48:22 Vicki Davis @dennis or private something

2008-01-01 21:48:23 Art Gelwicks True Brad, but if we wait for people to change their own attitudes we'll never make progress.

2008-01-01 21:48:25 Cathyjo i SO wish I could get my admin blogging

2008-01-01 21:48:26 JohnS @doug does a walled garden for teacher bloggers give you enough of a critical mass?

2008-01-01 21:48:28 shoemap Woo Hoo - Just learned tomorrow is a snow day!

2008-01-01 21:48:34 KarenJanowski my husband is amazed that we are all here on a holiday night!

2008-01-01 21:48:43 BarbInNebraska congratulations snoemap!

2008-01-01 21:48:43 BradHicks i never said to wait - bugger the rest!

2008-01-01 21:48:44 JohnS They are VERY professional. amazing, really :-)

2008-01-01 21:48:44 khokanson @dennis did you post your admin blog url?

2008-01-01 21:48:47 atruger mine too KArenn

2008-01-01 21:48:53 atruger I am getting the look

2008-01-01 21:48:54 Cathyjo @heyjude, @Joyce we should start one of these for teacher-librarians!! LOL

2008-01-01 21:48:57 cheryloakes wow2008 karenjan, well, we are all geared up for school tomorow

2008-01-01 21:48:59 gingertplc community doesn't look at the calendar! ;)

2008-01-01 21:49:06 BradHicks I am working with pre-service teachers and trying to teach them about web2.0

2008-01-01 21:49:13 cheryloakes wow2008 going point ginger

2008-01-01 21:49:14 heyjudeonline @cathyjo I AGREE!!! :-)

2008-01-01 21:49:14 CathyE We are all crazy educators- that is why we are here on a holiday

2008-01-01 21:49:15 Durff hi jeff

2008-01-01 21:49:17 dennis @ vicki - i agree that private is a helpful "walled garden" is a safe start place for educators

2008-01-01 21:49:18 bobsprankle yes, cathyjo! that'd be awesome!

2008-01-01 21:49:18 joycevalenza i mentioned it to dave

2008-01-01 21:49:19 cindy p @ shoemap...I'm jealous of the snow!

2008-01-01 21:49:24 diane We're here because we love it!

2008-01-01 21:49:31 dougsymington @john: I've ALWAYS advocated against, but am beginning to think that it might be worth a try to "get them started" -- altho I agree with you...

2008-01-01 21:49:37 jeffmason hello happy new year

2008-01-01 21:49:41 Cathyjo All u Teacher Librariansd I am SO in

2008-01-01 21:49:44 courosa @BradHicks: That's my field ... lets' connect. Check out digitalinterns.ca

2008-01-01 21:49:45 KarenJanowski I told him, we don't have colleagues who use these tools that we thrive on so we have to go global!

2008-01-01 21:49:46 dougsymington re lack of critical mass et al.

2008-01-01 21:49:51 JohnS @doug -- for students, absolutely.

2008-01-01 21:49:52 diane We have snow...not enought?

2008-01-01 21:49:53 Art Gelwicks Walled gardens can be a great stepping stone.

2008-01-01 21:50:04 Cathyjo and diane too!!

2008-01-01 21:50:11 JohnS But maybe not for teachers. I think they may need to be out in the wild.

2008-01-01 21:50:26 dennis @ art - have you used "walled gardens" for teahers and adm

2008-01-01 21:50:29 Durff wild teachers?

2008-01-01 21:50:32 sharonp look at how twitter and facebook took off this past year - could we have foreseen this last year at this time?? Online social spaces as a term covers that

2008-01-01 21:50:34 Cathyjo but we'd need to have teachers and admin as guests

2008-01-01 21:50:41 BarbInNebraska NPR just did a series of stories on the 10 anniversary of blogs

2008-01-01 21:50:42 diane Teachers need to be wild, risk takers

2008-01-01 21:50:43 joycevalenza sometimes I feel pushed out at conferences

2008-01-01 21:50:45 JohnS @Durff: Wild teachers couldn't drag me away

2008-01-01 21:50:48 dougsymington it's xactly what Vicki's talking 'bout with ning and seems to have worked for her-the "garden"-- be interesting to see if it leads to more comfort "in public"

2008-01-01 21:50:53 sharonp is what we do in Facebook considered blogging??

2008-01-01 21:50:56 dougsymington for participants

2008-01-01 21:51:02 BarbInNebraska NPR had the percetage of men and women

2008-01-01 21:51:04 Cathyjo ahh Joyce u r definitely putting us on the MAP!

2008-01-01 21:51:09 derrallg I always push my female students but for blogging the girls are more prolific

2008-01-01 21:51:11 JenWagner and Jennifer rambles again :)

2008-01-01 21:51:15 BradHicks @courosa thanks for that link

2008-01-01 21:51:17 khokanson Today I got an email from a 1962 alum of my HS who is so impressed with what it happening in my district

2008-01-01 21:51:24 Vicki Davis @JohnS - everyone wants a safe place to start -- I started w/ classblogmeister.

2008-01-01 21:51:24 Durff girls are into it

2008-01-01 21:51:27 khokanson if it was all "walled

2008-01-01 21:51:28 sharonp how cool Kristin!

2008-01-01 21:51:29 Vicki Davis I just FELT safer.

2008-01-01 21:51:29 courosa @sharonp: I think it actually dilutes blogging in a sense, BUT provices a voice from others who wouldn't normally blog.

2008-01-01 21:51:30 tmcgrath How many administators are really using or Pushing Web 2.0 Tools and use?

2008-01-01 21:51:38 joycevalenza but there is definitely a guy clicque

2008-01-01 21:51:40 Vicki Davis I think that great people should be recognized no matter the gender.

2008-01-01 21:51:44 khokanson she wouldn't have found me

2008-01-01 21:51:50 sharonp I agree Alec - it is a sort of *form* of blogging,

2008-01-01 21:51:52 KarenJanowski @kristen - what did she say?

2008-01-01 21:51:56 diane Mine talk digital but don't follow through

2008-01-01 21:51:56 Vicki Davis I think that the reason it is so apparent is b/c there are so many female teachers.

2008-01-01 21:51:58 shoemap Webcast Academy has a new class beginning Jan 13!

2008-01-01 21:52:05 dougsymington FB is more about "online presence" than blogging

2008-01-01 21:52:07 heyjudeonline Jo, a few ozzies have talked about doing this downunder...but haven't started yet. Shall we?

2008-01-01 21:52:07 Durff yup

2008-01-01 21:52:11 derrallg but the tools are getting less techie more user friendly

2008-01-01 21:52:14 dougsymington I think tho related, there's a difference

2008-01-01 21:52:19 dennis webcast academy link?

2008-01-01 21:52:23 khokanson she had seen the wiki for the CFF program and was reminiscing about how much things have changed

2008-01-01 21:52:24 KarenJanowski our administration pushes "STEM" but not 2.0

2008-01-01 21:52:26 sharonp FB is a stepping stone perhaps to hardcore blogging

2008-01-01 21:52:29 Vicki Davis I think that more teachers should be represented at conferences -- people IN THE CLASSROOM right now have a different perspective than those traveling the world and speaking about it.

2008-01-01 21:52:29 courosa @BradHicks: If you ever want to connect on preservice work, let me know, educationaltechnology.ca ... anyone else who is also working in the preservice area.

2008-01-01 21:52:30 Cathyjo hando

2008-01-01 21:53:52 lorisheldon @atruger I totally agree

2008-01-01 21:53:57 shoemap Cheryl is an awesome webcaster!

2008-01-01 21:53:58 Cathyjo wow what a compliment @brad

2008-01-01 21:54:03 diane Feel closer to people hundreds, thousands of miles away, than to district colleagues

2008-01-01 21:54:08 cheryloakes wow2008 geez you guys

2008-01-01 21:54:12 KarenJanowski just wrote two chapters for a book for health educators - stressed use of tech and 2.0 which is a brand new concept for those in the health field - they are used to brochures and oral directions only

2008-01-01 21:54:14 Cathyjo I have to credit Alan November of all people

2008-01-01 21:54:16 BarbInNebraska @diane, true

2008-01-01 21:54:26 mhobkirk @diane YES!

2008-01-01 21:54:31 sharonp good for you Karen - we need to be saying these things

2008-01-01 21:54:43 JackieB @diane - Me too. And I've only been doing "this" (whatever that is) for a short while.

2008-01-01 21:54:47 dougsymington WOW2.0 Rocks--another wonderful show

2008-01-01 21:54:48 Cathyjo so who all is going to Philly?

2008-01-01 21:54:50 JackieB @KarenJan - yea!

2008-01-01 21:55:04 Kern @cathyJo I think Alan November has inspired a lot of us

2008-01-01 21:55:08 KarenJanowski speaking at educon with my 17 yearold son

2008-01-01 21:55:47 BarbInNebraska But, I still need face to face to help me out sometimes

2008-01-01 21:55:49 lorisheldon @Durff PETE&C

2008-01-01 21:58:01 dennis @allanahk happy new year!

2008-01-01 21:58:06 reggie what's the speakers blog url?

2008-01-01 21:58:09 Vicki Davis I think that blogging gets people past the small talk so that when you finally meet, you can get into the REAL meat of things.

2008-01-01 21:58:10 JenWagner Kristen -- we need to start a USTREAM option page -- right??

2008-01-01 21:58:10 heyjudeonline YES

2008-01-01 21:58:14 courosa definnitely

2008-01-01 21:58:14 dgoodman oh yes for f2f

2008-01-01 21:58:14 dennis f2f - yes!

2008-01-01 21:58:16 heyjudeonline YES YES YES

2008-01-01 21:58:16 Vicki Davis It just pulls you along the curve.

2008-01-01 21:58:19 BarbInNebraska I think yes to face to face!

2008-01-01 21:58:19 Cathyjo GASP!!! Absolutely we need f2f

2008-01-01 21:58:21 atruger YES

2008-01-01 21:58:24 gingertplc We talk a lot about the future of education so they know why I torture them with all these cool projects and tools!

2008-01-01 21:58:26 derrallg yes

2008-01-01 21:58:27 Vicki Davis c2c makes f2f more meaningful.

2008-01-01 21:58:28 dgoodman we need those personal connections

2008-01-01 21:58:28 khokanson @durff will be at both

2008-01-01 21:58:28 Allanahk I hope you all are going foreshadow your Ustreams on Twit

2008-01-01 21:58:32 KarenJanowski I believe that using web 2 tools for differentiated instruction is too often overlooked and it's time to stress it

2008-01-01 21:58:33 diane Yes, we all need to see the real people. We're not bodiless!

2008-01-01 21:58:36 heyjudeonline YES YES YES YES YES YES

2008-01-01 21:58:39 JenWagner QUESTION -- how many people do you think you have ALREADY met F2F???

2008-01-01 21:58:43 dougsymington LOL

2008-01-01 21:58:44 JenWagner and then you are suprised you have not

2008-01-01 21:58:45 CathyE Yes- f2f

2008-01-01 21:58:48 Kern @vicki http://tinyurl.com/2q9xss (Alan November)

2008-01-01 21:58:51 atruger Expanding our networks

2008-01-01 21:58:52 diane Only Joyce Valenza for me

2008-01-01 21:58:55 sharonp I think it is so impt to meet f2f - we need to be in relationship at different levels

2008-01-01 21:59:00 tmcgrath Twitter is a great network but we need f2f to personalize our experience.

2008-01-01 21:59:00 Durff you live there kristin - it's obligatory

2008-01-01 21:59:05 heyjudeonline f2f to consolidate

2008-01-01 21:59:07 gingertplc Does Skype constitute f2f?

2008-01-01 21:59:12 Durff no

2008-01-01 21:59:14 gingertplc it seems like it!

2008-01-01 21:59:15 bobsprankle def

2008-01-01 21:59:15 heyjudeonline no

2008-01-01 21:59:19 Cathyjo LOL in a way skype is f2f

2008-01-01 21:59:20 cindy p f2f brings that true connection with a person

2008-01-01 21:59:20 khokanson Chril Lehmann will have his students doing the streaming and recording at educon

2008-01-01 21:59:21 dougsymington thing is, you can really begin/continue a discussion you've already started online

2008-01-01 21:59:22 diane Now I need a facelift and a whole new wardrobe

2008-01-01 21:59:27 bobsprankle accelerates... yes!

2008-01-01 21:59:29 heyjudeonline helps but not a substitute for f2f

2008-01-01 21:59:30 langwitches I have met someone from Twitter for the first time f2f last week. It was great

2008-01-01 21:59:31 Cathyjo according to my Mom skype is f2f

2008-01-01 21:59:36 atruger f2f connections made faster with virtual connections

2008-01-01 21:59:50 langwitches We will do some projects in the future together

2008-01-01 21:59:51 heyjudeonline second life!!

2008-01-01 21:59:51 dgoodman Yes atruger

2008-01-01 21:59:55 heyjudeonline I like that a lot too.

2008-01-01 21:59:56 sharonp We need to keep that balance in life - f2f - my online communication is an extension of myself

2008-01-01 21:59:59 Art Gelwicks F2F definitely. I'm much cooler in person. :)

2008-01-01 22:00:05 dougsymington @cathyjo love it!

2008-01-01 22:00:07 atruger SL is a great network too

2008-01-01 22:00:09 dennis i'm too new to this - know of many of you online - look forward to speaking f2f at educon or BLC2008

2008-01-01 22:00:12 Cathyjo imnot as cool in person--more shy
