19:28:58 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: about smartboard? as in promoting smartboards? how to use them?
19:29:10 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: @shraonp - try this link http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com/
19:29:14 JenW -> -EdTechTalk: does anyone else kinda miss the hum?? :)

19:29:22 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: Online student-teacher friendships can be tricky: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/08/12/studentsteachers.online/index.html
19:31:18 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: I guess I am looking for solid resources for using SB in the classroom - for both my own teachers and teachers in South Africa
19:31:22 Lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: I had a student today asking to exchange skype ids. I turned him down.
19:31:59 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: skype i don't mind
19:32:16 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: taught students and parents that way
19:32:30 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: IMs i don't mind
19:32:51 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: we did know that
19:32:53 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp - have you tried this link? http://education.smarttech.com/ste/en-US/Ed+Resource/
19:33:35 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @KarenJan - yup, know that and know the pdtogo link as well.... just looking for even better
19:34:36 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp -what exactly are you looking for?
19:34:38 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: have heard a number of folks express frustration and disappointment about SB resources
19:35:10 Lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: They are getting better, Sharon. Trying to step it up to compete with Promethean
19:35:30 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: aren't they basically owned by same company? Have heard that recently
19:35:38 Lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: I don't think so.
19:35:41 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp are you wanting good SB lessons/links for K-12 teachers or just specific resources designed to use with SB software?
19:36:29 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp - can't you just use excellent resources in general?
19:37:06 dave -> -EdTechTalk: http://wiki.idebate.org/index.php/Category:Education

19:37:30 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp-have you tried a Diigo search for smartboard? Lots of links and resources there
19:37:32 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: those cases john were in the usa, right?
19:37:36 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: I think I have heard from several quarters this summer, both in Canada and abroad, that SB resources have not been that great - am thinking that poeple are trying to see beyond the emperor's new clothes
19:37:58 martha -> -EdTechTalk: I'm in!
19:38:04 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: hey!
19:38:10 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: awesome link-debatepedia :-)

19:38:46 martha -> -EdTechTalk: I now have sound. Had to open in IE.
19:38:48 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: missouri, Mrs. Durff
19:39:05 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: Hiya
19:39:11 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: oh my, attn ya all
19:39:13 dave -> -EdTechTalk: yo...
19:39:18 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: downes in the room
19:39:45 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: guess we weren't good enought for him
19:39:47 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: you scared him away dave
19:40:09 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: listen on ETT A
19:41:14 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: Trying, Rogers Internet "can't find the server at worldbridges.net" (probably because, if they can't find a site, they serve you advertising instead)
19:41:26 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: ha!
19:41:33 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: You have to try it about 5 times
19:41:40 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: how very like Rogers
19:41:55 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: i thought clicking heels three times worked
19:42:19 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: digital ethics is what Alec is discussing
19:42:24 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: ok
19:42:27 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: Pandora: http://www.pandora.com/
19:42:45 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: still can't find it... just a matter of time (I hope)
19:42:51 courosa -> -EdTechTalk: yes sharon, thanks
19:42:54 Gary -> -EdTechTalk: Similar to the religious group who wanted to cross the boarder to picket a funeral because Canada has done evil things
19:43:01 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.musicovery.com/
19:43:21 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/16/1929217&from=rss
19:43:22 JenW -> -EdTechTalk: your twitter about pandora shocked me
19:43:26 sroseman -> -EdTechTalk: not in Canada anymore
19:43:32 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: i clicked on the icon and saved then clicked it to play
19:43:33 JenW -> -EdTechTalk: didn't really believe you had not heard of it
19:43:54 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: Dear Pandora Visitor, We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.
19:44:06 Gary -> -EdTechTalk: It was available in Canada - bought music based on it but not now.
19:44:11 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: desolé
19:44:36 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: grateful to Pandora - allowed me to listen to Strawbs again, hadn't heard them in years
19:44:55 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: good advice re Pandora :-)
19:45:03 dave -> -EdTechTalk: http://learning-activities.org/widgets/index.php?lastadded=added+any+time
19:45:22 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: Nope... it's simply not going to find worldbridges.net
19:45:44 dave -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.tbd.com/assets/landing_pgs/splash_c.html
19:46:02 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: did you click on the black icon under ETT A?
19:46:20 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: choose save
19:46:28 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: save to desktop
19:46:29 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: oh! I had a question about educational software for linux ... how much exists?
19:46:35 JenW -> -EdTechTalk: ohmigosh -- you are under 40??

19:48:18 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: tbd... oh good grief... did I ever share that the first time I tried to sign up for Facebook, wasn't allowed and was told I was TOO OLD?? Had to bribe a student to invite me
19:48:33 Lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: REally?

19:28:58 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: about smartboard? as in promoting smartboards? how to use them?
19:29:10 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: @shraonp - try this link http://interactivemultimediatechnology.blogspot.com/

19:29:22 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: Online student-teacher friendships can be tricky: http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/08/12/studentsteachers.online/index.html
19:31:18 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: I guess I am looking for solid resources for using SB in the classroom - for both my own teachers and teachers in South Africa
19:31:22 Lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: I had a student today asking to exchange skype ids. I turned him down.
19:31:59 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: skype i don't mind
19:32:16 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: taught students and parents that way
19:32:30 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: IMs i don't mind
19:32:51 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: we did know that
19:32:53 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp - have you tried this link? http://education.smarttech.com/ste/en-US/Ed+Resource/
19:33:35 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @KarenJan - yup, know that and know the pdtogo link as well.... just looking for even better
19:34:36 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp -what exactly are you looking for?
19:34:38 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: have heard a number of folks express frustration and disappointment about SB resources
19:35:10 Lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: They are getting better, Sharon. Trying to step it up to compete with Promethean
19:35:30 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: aren't they basically owned by same company? Have heard that recently
19:35:38 Lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: I don't think so.
19:35:41 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp are you wanting good SB lessons/links for K-12 teachers or just specific resources designed to use with SB software?
19:36:29 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp - can't you just use excellent resources in general?
19:37:06 dave -> -EdTechTalk: http://wiki.idebate.org/index.php/Category:Education

19:37:32 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: those cases john were in the usa, right?
19:37:36 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: I think I have heard from several quarters this summer, both in Canada and abroad, that SB resources have not been that great - am thinking that poeple are trying to see beyond the emperor's new clothes
19:37:58 martha -> -EdTechTalk: I'm in!
19:38:04 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: hey!
19:38:10 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: awesome link-debatepedia :-)
19:38:21 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: but do you have sound martha?
19:38:46 martha -> -EdTechTalk: I now have sound. Had to open in IE.
19:38:48 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: missouri, Mrs. Durff
19:39:05 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: Hiya
19:39:11 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: oh my, attn ya all
19:39:13 dave -> -EdTechTalk: yo...
19:39:18 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: downes in the room
19:39:45 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: guess we weren't good enought for him
19:39:47 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: you scared him away dave
19:40:09 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: listen on ETT A
19:41:14 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: Trying, Rogers Internet "can't find the server at worldbridges.net" (probably because, if they can't find a site, they serve you advertising instead)
19:41:26 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: ha!
19:41:33 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: You have to try it about 5 times
19:41:40 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: how very like Rogers
19:41:55 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: i thought clicking heels three times worked
19:42:19 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: digital ethics is what Alec is discussing
19:42:24 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: ok
19:42:27 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: Pandora: http://www.pandora.com/
19:42:45 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: still can't find it... just a matter of time (I hope)
19:42:51 courosa -> -EdTechTalk: yes sharon, thanks
19:42:54 Gary -> -EdTechTalk: Similar to the religious group who wanted to cross the boarder to picket a funeral because Canada has done evil things
19:43:01 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.musicovery.com/
19:43:21 JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/16/1929217&from=rss
19:43:22 JenW -> -EdTechTalk: your twitter about pandora shocked me
19:43:26 sroseman -> -EdTechTalk: not in Canada anymore
19:43:32 mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: i clicked on the icon and saved then clicked it to play
19:43:33 JenW -> -EdTechTalk: didn't really believe you had not heard of it
19:43:54 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: Dear Pandora Visitor, We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.
19:44:06 Gary -> -EdTechTalk: It was available in Canada - bought music based on it but not now.
19:44:11 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: desolé
19:44:36 KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: grateful to Pandora - allowed me to listen to Strawbs again, hadn't heard them in years
19:44:55 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: good advice re Pandora :-)
19:45:03 dave -> -EdTechTalk: http://learning-activities.org/widgets/index.php?lastadded=added+any+time
19:45:22 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: Nope... it's simply not going to find worldbridges.net
19:45:44 dave -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.tbd.com/assets/landing_pgs/splash_c.html

19:49:58 Downes -> -EdTechTalk: My only conclusion is that worldbridges is being blocked by Rogers
19:50:12 Lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: Jeff do you want me to call you into the show? Do you usually come in?
19:50:14 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: Down with Rogers!
