Durff -> EdTechTalk: I wish you worked in my school
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: you must be with them in the classroom and do it together
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Hey alice!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: it's difficult when you are a teacher in the classroom too
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Me Vivki?
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: It is!
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: yes that would be you Alice!
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: exactly Lisa...teachers are begging that i can give up teaching spanish to free up more time to be with them
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Yes!
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: I think I am behind in audio...
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: second delay
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: no worries -- you will eventually catch up :)
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: what is time span on the inter.cont. railroad activity
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Our teachers want me to give up time teaching and work with them as well.
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: vicki, what do you thinkabout that?
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: we want to work as a team on projects
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I want them to take fixing computers off my list.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: It's the best way when teachers want to co-teach. They take risks!
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: YES!
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: doing projects in the lab out of the classroom...we lose touch and they are long past a topic when i get it finished
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: sure thing Vicki that needs to get off your list
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: And hire an outside firm -- I do not want to fix computers and fi someone asks me to fix another printer I'm going to commit sopuku.
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: if it has a plug they come to me
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Yes Vicki, if you are an educator, you should be working with teachers and kids
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: i am supposed to know all about dvd players too!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: (That is where the samurais wrap up the sword and debowel themselves!!)
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: LOVELY
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: ugh, not a pretty picture
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Well, we have very limited funds at our school and I've built the network from the ground up.
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: i would love guidelines...
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Sorry!!??!!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: Limited?
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: don't do that - the world needs you Vicki!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: *)
Durff -> EdTechTalk: I hear that!~
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Come fix the printer!
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: Pat...i am out of ink!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: And resetting passwords that is another thing I'd love NOT to do!!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: My projectror screen is a window blind - for which I had to pay!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Or how about when they forget to take off the little clear strip of tape.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: My husband hung my smartboard and projector and built my podium!
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: side of refrigerator box covered with white contac..propped on ledge
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: # reason the printer doesn't work -- the little sticky tape
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Oh, guys, I forgot the horizon project awards show is tomorrow at : am.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: Smartboard? NO FIR!!
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: I will be there Vicki
Durff -> EdTechTalk: FAIR!
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: I thought maybe it was because it wasn't plugged in! or one of the cables is loose....
Durff -> EdTechTalk: can you hear me now?
vincej -> EdTechTalk: if u heve lots of little tech issues like come fix this printer etc
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Yeah! I'm so excited!
vincej -> EdTechTalk: institute an ask a friend first policy..when i did this it reduced problems by %
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I'l post the elluminate link in twitter and jaiku -- if you are in twitter, I'm coolcatteacher -- add me to your friends list.
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: or ask a student first!
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: vince what a great idea! did you hand out tee shirts?
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: YES vince -- we did a buddy system with our PowerSchool implementation and it was a lifesaver although we don't have quantitative proof.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: The buddy system is a MUST DO!!!
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: drove me crazy last year when the techies decided to ban the students from touching the computers - why not teach the students to look for troubleshooting solutions on their own??
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: i do all the powerschool stuff too.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: WE have buddies and gave everyone Skype -- our rule is ) Buddy first )Skype Vicki next.
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: check the cables, that is first to look for.... but NO, if not allowed to touch computers...!!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Oh, sharon -- my computer science kids helped install the new computers we won with Campbell's soup labels -- it save dthe school over $ after I trained them.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: SharonP No reason the techies should be making those decisions!
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: i don't have enough knowledgeable buddies yet
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: And the students learned so much!
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: wasn't that silly policy?? and we implemented laptops this year
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Oh check the cables -- that is for sure.
vincej -> EdTechTalk: bu thsi will train them..especially for things like plugging in printers
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: luddite policy -- oh, we're moving too fast so lets put up obstacles.
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: luddite policy - sounds perfect for my day today
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: leadership...yes...admin buys in with talk and walk
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I didn't have them just plugging in printers -- I had a temporary install ID and had them installing all of the software -- each was in charge of a program and basic training for the teacher -- we had a Skype team, open office team, Picasa team, etc.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I just couldn't do it all.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Yes : so discouraging in the NYTimes
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: wow, sounds like quite a program, Vicki!
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: SUPPORT is crucial
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Obstacles obstacles -- negativity sells papers.
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: what kind of laptops?
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: it was my life saver.
vincej -> EdTechTalk: Vicki..that is farther than the task my crew could do but that is great
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: You cannot hand kids laptops without support and training
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: So true alice.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: amen alice
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: Missed Alice's sermon!
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: Hello all!

patruffing -> EdTechTalk: we have a cart of to share
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I'm going to submit tomorrow after I get out of school.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I didn't know about it -- Stephen Rahn keeps me posted.
dean -> EdTechTalk: I wish we could get a seedlings program transplant here in Michigan
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: that would be cool, we had such fun with seedlings.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Yes Dean, seedlings was helpful
CheriT -> EdTechTalk: What is the law (?) in Michigan about distance learning?
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: i found out that the money they give off the smart board seems to bring it down to the price you can get thru govt providers
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Such good professional development!
CheriT -> EdTechTalk: I've heard everything from all students have to take an onine course
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: I wish the exams could be done on laptop
CheriT -> EdTechTalk: to all students must have an online experience
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Cheryl and I will come set it up dean!
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: my former school hired a Tech Company to come in
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: $, a year
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: you are right Alice, road trip
Durff -> EdTechTalk: what about accomodations?
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: they trained the teachers for a year
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: You
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: and are testing their comp skills with pencil/paper
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: You're right Vicki!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: I prefer to assess online
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: you can test sat online by choice
Durff -> EdTechTalk: the SAT needs to get with the program
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Good heavens our kids might be using st century skills!
Pam Shoemaker -> EdTechTalk: There was a pilot MEAP assessment in Michigan the past two years... Ran out of money
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: by choice?
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: Don't you think it would hamper validity if some were taking on laptop and others were handwriting
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: interested in recommendations for laptops when our current lease runs out in a year
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: and schools cannot afford to provide laptops for everyone
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: dean, you missed it alice and I offered to come to MI and train Seedlings
CathyE -> EdTechTalk: Have you US people contacted Margaret Spellings - explaining why we need technology in schools?
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: II think the results would be better if the assessors could read the writing
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Dea: What about kids who don't do well handwriting?
Pam Shoemaker -> EdTechTalk: Pulling it off in a wireless environment was a trick
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: In Illinois, all th graders must take the ACT writing test...this was the first year
Durff -> EdTechTalk: absolutely!
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: oh, i agree, I'm just saying that it isn't practical
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: I think Mich is moving that direction Dea
Durff -> EdTechTalk: they were when i sat for my masters
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Dygraphia is an issue.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: it was handwritten
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: is there a standard for learning touch typing by a certain age...if you can't type it is hard to do online testing, writing samples, etc
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: If they are all using turnitin.com to check plaigarism.;
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i could never do that now
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: No, but the research says around th - th grade.
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: Great source
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: And there are others
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: hard to master touch typing in school with one day a week class
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: One of our first WOW's was with Patsy lLanclos -- about keyboarding.
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: our school uses turnitin (not that I agree with it) AND requires handwritten exams....
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Also interviewed sharon's husband with Dragon naturally speaking.
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: Mich gets the MME next year
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I highly recommend it for those talking about keyboarding.
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: Frankly, I caught plagiarism by just typing in a phrase that was too cool for the student to have written.
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: recommend what vicki?
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: touch typing works best with short periods - - minutes, monitoring by an adult and daily practice
dean -> EdTechTalk: th grade tech assessment in Michigan, but no uniform standards or assessment
Durff -> EdTechTalk: me too Dea
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Listening to the podcast -- the WOW with patsy lanclose -- just a moment and I'll find it.
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: thanks
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: I say offer the students a choice - they choose ot write their exams by hand or by laptop - whatever tools works best for them
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: vicki it should be on podomatic
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Like that idea sharonp
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: No standard th grade assessment because of money
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: go figure
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Keyboarding with patsy lanclos - http://womenofweb.podomatic.com/entry/--T__-_
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: thanks for looking vicki
vincej -> EdTechTalk: sharon you are right
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: this is what we did for December mid-term exam - worked well, BUT I noticed that the students who handwrote their exams did not perform as well as those who used their laptops
vincej -> EdTechTalk: sharon . do you have na idea why
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: yes
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/OE_Companion_Doc_-__.pdf
CheriT -> EdTechTalk: who are making those types of decisions in Michigan
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: that's the link for explanation of Online Experience
CheriT -> EdTechTalk: thanks
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: my observation is that the weeks before the exam, we worked on skills for writing paragraphs using the tools of the laptop - inspiration and funcitoins of MS Word - those that preferred to handwrite did not have those tools available to them
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: I really think I think differently when I use a word processor
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: Ill check with Pam, cheri
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: Pam is a database queen---love it!
vincej -> EdTechTalk: thats a great indicator for promoting writing skills using a laptop
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: yes
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: Cheri, the answer to your question is that the local district decides what they will do.
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: I asked my son on the way home tonight how HE felt about the decision that he was no longer able to use his laptop for the exam - he made some good points
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: reseach was done with fourth graders on our state writing assessment comparing use of AlphaSmart and handwriting. Students who used the AS scored % better than handwriting.
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: The computerized options, from mental models to spellcheck and grammar check make writers and thinkers behave differently
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: yes
Durff -> EdTechTalk: Me Too!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: yes vicki
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: have there been any studies done to show this?
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: I know there are studies out there, but I'm in a doctoral program, so I can't quote them.
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: sharon, yes, see above
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i'm aligning with PA standards
Durff -> EdTechTalk: to ensure that i catch all the concepts
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: Where are you in PA?
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: so typical, low attendance and no practice!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i'm in MD
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: I find the same excuses
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: oh, ok
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: I'm still learning, but you know, I think the results of those studies are evolving as kids are born into technology: digital natives vs. digital immigrants
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: It's a lack of passion realy
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: would we accept that excuse from our students?
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: really
Durff -> EdTechTalk: the principal and i are both from PA
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: Here's your chance to have your voice heard http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/showStoryts.cfm?ArticleID=

CathyE -> EdTechTalk: No- Cheryl- I can't figure out how to start the skupecast- I can reserve it
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: do you have the "coaching model" that you use spelled out somewhere
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: Teachers need ongoing support
Jennifer Wagner -> EdTechTalk: I shall ask PAT
CathyE -> EdTechTalk: Teachers need "safety nets"
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: But even administrators don't realize that
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: CathyE I ahve not been successful with skypecast in a long while, it used to work for me
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: sharon, here's a link http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/rvp/pubaf//testing.html
Durff -> EdTechTalk: but the software was more important to us, Cathy
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: Mich also has online Prof Dev for educators that needs more utilization http://www.learnport.org/content.cfm?ID=
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: teachers don't want to look dumb in front of kids...that's why they want the team approach to start
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: someone once told me that job-embedded training was the only way to go
vincej -> EdTechTalk: what is SDU?
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: I had a principal tell me the other day that most of his teachers were new and they had learned that all in college
Durff -> EdTechTalk: we have zero
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Staff development unit
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i wish
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Professional Learning Unit
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: SDU or PLU's
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: look dumb in front of kids? why not show them you're learning too
vincej -> EdTechTalk: tks
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i always am
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: my principal will pay teachers $ hr to come to my afterschool sessions
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Our school offers courses for "School credit" towards salary
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: We've done about hours of training in the last three years -- but hours is a whole lot to swallow at once.
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: even then, i have to bribe with snacks
Durff -> EdTechTalk: and it is the kids from whom we learn the most
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Wow! Pat! That is great!
vincej -> EdTechTalk: job embedded PD..regular built in hours
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: yes Durff!
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: yes..he is suppoortive, but never comes himself
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Does your school, Pat require a certain number of hours?
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: no hrs. required
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: I've got a couple of districts that do that too, but the hours are hard for teachers...saturday mornings and nights, just as she says
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Our principal comes.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: And our curriculum director.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: I think we have to look at technology as a professional learning community, teachers and kids
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: i usually do afterschool :-?
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I think the coaching model makes so much more sense!
CathyE -> EdTechTalk: Good for you- Vicki
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: During school implementing projects.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: yes it does
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Great Cheryl, follow up important
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: I know it is good for the students too.
patruffing -> EdTechTalk: i am happy they have started using wikis for collaboration among faculty
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: You're right...kids can teach us a lot, but not everyone is confident enough to admit they don't know it all
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Lead by example.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: those videos are amazing, Vicki
CathyE -> EdTechTalk: But you don
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: That's the problem Dea, teachers need to look at changing eaching practice
CathyE -> EdTechTalk: don't really learn- until you get with a group
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: teaching practice
gloveles -> EdTechTalk: wikis are great but Google Docs-----OOOOOOOO
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: If they don't have any real accountability then what's their incentive to produce?
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Llisa you did a great job judging and helping!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: And yes the videos are great!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i did nothing
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: But many teacher do as they are asked -- sit in a hour class, create lesson plans, hand them in and never look at them again.
Karen Janowski -> EdTechTalk: what additional incentive is necessary beyond it's good teaching?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: but my mouth dropped open with that code of yours
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: We need to focus on real, transformational implementation.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: This is a great support group!
Dea Conrad-Curry -> EdTechTalk: Yeah. ongoing support is what we need
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: Oh the grazr Lisa?
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk: or the RSS?

cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk: go to classroom .o A message to all members of Classroom . For those in the U.S., Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings has asked for ideas on the integration of technology in education. There is a form on the ed.gov site, but no ability to dialog or even leave your contact information if you fill it out. Therefore, I have created a forum thread for each of Secretary Spellings' questions, and propose that we discuss them at Classroom . and invite her office to view the dialog on our network and even participate.
