JohnSchinker | I dont' know what's up with the audio |
JohnSchinker | I did try closing a few other things |
JohnSchinker | nope. You're dropping out when you unmute me, which is odd, too. I'm going to try a quick reboot, since this computer has been on for days. |
JohnSchinker | Do you guys know who Joe McLeay is? That appears to be RubyFire |

sroseman | We still use FirstClass in our school district..believe it or not |
Brad Hicks | do you guys have any thoughts re delicious vs Furl, is there a reason for your preference for using delicious? |
JenniferW | and what if First Class |
JenniferW | I want to know WHY I need to log onto delicious in order to submit a tag??? or am I doing it wrong?? |
sroseman | it's our school email system..rather dated |
sroseman | Here is some info on firstClass client http://www.softarc.com/ |
arvind grover | lots of schools in new york city use firstclass and swear by iy |
arvind grover | it |
arvind grover | i dont use it but have heard good things... |
JenM | http://youthvoice.net/elgg/ |
JenniferW | I dont know if this would help -- http://www.xfruits.com/ |
JenniferW | it is an RSS and more mixer/masher |
JohnSchinker | http://offog.org/code/rawdog.html |
JL | http://youthvoices.net/ |
arvind grover | what is that service, raw dog? |
JohnSchinker | It allows you to grab rss feeds and reformat them in different ways. I use it to generate content for my portal pages internally |
arvind grover | nevermind, i see it |
JohnSchinker | Probably similar to xfruits, though I'm not familiar with it |
arvind grover | cool |
sroseman | speaking of MacWorld I just discovered a social events calendar driven by people just like us! |
JenniferW | xfruits is just a new site I was introduced to this week that allows you to blend a bunch of rss feeds into 1 feed to be viewed |
JohnSchinker | right. neat. |
JenniferW | sorry -- its not new, it is new to me |
JenM | xfruits is cool |
Durff | Doing s copyright lesson right now for 7th grade - any suggestions? |
JenniferW | Jen -- I have SOOO much to share at CMS Drupal tomorrow night :) |
JenM | oooh! great! |
JenniferW | wow -- Lisa -- good for you |
JohnSchinker | 7th grade -- I used to give them a bunch of different scenarios, and ask them which ones were legal. |
JohnSchinker | Then generate a discussion about it. |
Durff | Any help? |
JenniferW | http://www.techlearning.com/db_area/archives/TL/2002/10/copyright_quiz.php |
Durff | Yes, and talk about creative commons too |
JenniferW | Lisa -- check that out |
JenniferW | http://www.csus.edu/indiv/p/peachj/edte230/copyright/quiz.htm |
JenniferW | and there is another one |
JenniferW | http://www.copyrightkids.org/quizframes.htm |
JenniferW | and this one is GREAT -- http://www.cyberbee.com/cb_copyright.swf |
JenniferW | (if they have internet access) |
JenniferW | Do we have a regular chat at 5pm too?? |
Durff | no, but I got that at cyberbee |
Durff | I use a projector with laptop |
Durff | I share it with other teachers |
JenniferW | the other links I gave you are interactive quizes |
JenniferW | it might get a conversation going |
Durff | they can go online later during the day |
Durff | we have to evaluate all sources |
Durff | I made up a story and even the principal bought it |
sroseman | I dig this one..the social animal that I am http://upcoming.org/ |
JenniferW | http://teachingtreasures.com.au/Danger%20zone/copyright-activity.htm |
Durff | it was totally bogus |
JenniferW | http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/ |
Brad Hicks | so upcoming looks at your location settings on your computer? - cool |
JenniferW | but you only have a 24 hour period to download for free activiation |
JenniferW | the best thing to do is put the feed into you RSS |
JenniferW | NO -- I need EdTechTalk!!! :) |
JenniferW | I am calling into skype to complain :) :) |
JohnSchinker | Can't do a hangout. You don't have http://www.edtechhangout.net/ |
JohnSchinker | :-)_ |
JenniferW | but alas, don't have the skype callin info |
Durff | I cannot copy and paste these excellent links from this chat room |
Durff | but thank you all! |
JenniferW | Lisa -- use your right mouse to help copy save -- that is what I have to do at least |
JenniferW | sorry -- back track -- |
Brad Hicks | cmon Jeff - thought you would have registered it in the last 10 seconds!! :-) |
JenniferW | I have to CNTROL C |
JohnSchinker | Thanks guys |
JenniferW | how many names did you say you had??? |
JohnSchinker | He said 260 |
JenniferW | ohmigosh |
JenniferW | sadness --- no edtechtalk |
JenniferW | but CMS tomorrow -- COOL |
JohnSchinker | We could do it without them :-) |
sroseman | CMS stands for ..out of the loop |
JL | partial list at: http://worldbridges.net/domainlist |
JenniferW | now that was just sad............... |
JenniferW | you needed to have warned me |
JL | content management system |
sroseman | aha |
JenM | see you tomorrow at http://cmsacademy.net/drupal/ |
JohnSchinker | definitely an addiction, Jeff, I thought I was bad with two. |
JenniferW | amazing list |
sroseman | Thanks I will get these acronyms staightened out |
JL | For old times sake, I will toss EdTechTalk #1 into the stream |
JohnSchinker | sexbridge.com? Worldbridges is more diversified than I thought |
JenniferW | well off to kill an hour now |
JenniferW | hmmmm --- :) |
JohnSchinker | Arvind: where are you? I misssed that when you jumped in. |
arvind grover | new york city |
JohnSchinker | Oh. Yeah. Now I get it. |
JohnSchinker | I've heard your show |
JohnSchinker | sorry. I didn't make the connection |
arvind grover | no prob, glad to meet someone who listens. don't know how many of you there are :) |
JohnSchinker | I can't say I always listen, but occasionally, you accompany me to work |
JohnSchinker | You guys were talking about getting better access among your schools. |
JohnSchinker | I considered myself fortunate. We have gigabit between schools, and 100MB to the Internet. |
JohnSchinker | I thought in NYC you'd have tons of bandwidth |
JohnSchinker | Of course, we have other problems, but that's thankfully not one of them. |
JohnSchinker | It looks like you've had a couple recent shows on professional development -- I'll have to check them out. It's something I've been thinking a lot about lately. |
arvind grover | wow, that is a big time connection. we are in the private school world though, you? |
arvind grover | prof dev has been on our minds a lot, especially with the summer coming up (sort of) |
JohnSchinker | public schools |
arvind grover | public schools usually powered by district level connections, we are individual schools buying connections |
JohnSchinker | We got the fiber within the district for free from the cable tv company as part of their franchise agreement. |
arvind grover | nyc public schools have big time connections |
JohnSchinker | Then we just built the network. |
arvind grover | wow |
arvind grover | manhattan has limited fiber |
JohnSchinker | Right. Private schools would probably have a tougher time. Especially with long geography |
JohnSchinker | I was in Manhatten for the first time last summer (very briefly) |
JohnSchinker | We don't pay any connection fees for our internal network -- we just have to maintain the equipment. |
JohnSchinker | I need to go. It was nice chatting with you. |
