21:13:49 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: but wondered,,,, as a live participant at the conference, what do you think is the main thing I missed by only being virtually
21:13:52 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: lee that's great - I wanted to but never was able to get to the computer
21:13:57 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: THX Durff- I wish I would have met you in person at SLA

21:14:09 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: oops..virtual
21:14:20 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @susan yes subtract two years everytime durff helps someone
21:14:30 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: ;)
21:14:32 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: I really enjoyed Educon2
21:14:32 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: can i live that long?
21:14:44 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: I think the thing you miss is the sense of connection.
21:14:52 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: has anyone here ever been to Kenya?
21:15:00 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: I feel like it's otherwise a bit of a nerdy reality TV show.
21:15:02 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: well derrall, in that case....make it 1875
21:15:20 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: oh boy i'm getting confused
21:15:20 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: i most enjoyed the chat participationa nd that Will for example was live blogging during the panel on sunday morning...
21:15:24 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: remember snow on the tv?
21:15:25 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: hi mcarls welcome
21:15:30 judi epcke -> -EdTechTalk: We had plans to go last summer, but cancelled
21:16:06 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: because of the situation judi?
21:16:08 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @lee i've missed all the live blogging what makes it appealing?
21:16:23 judi epcke -> -EdTechTalk: was going to go with a church group to work in the Kibera slums this summer, but they aren't allowed to go
21:16:28 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: ahhh welcome ellen from california
21:16:53 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: @chase - I was much more "there" becasue I knew I could blog something to him ..the front lines so to speak..so could contribute immediately
21:16:55 judi epcke -> -EdTechTalk: @susan yep, we were a little concerned about the political climate
21:17:03 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: Okay cos I am from Australia
21:17:11 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: Definitely, I understand.
21:18:16 judi epcke -> -EdTechTalk: @mrchase a nerdy reality show -- LOL I didn't think so as I was watching this weekend, but now that you mention it...
21:18:40 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: I have never been to Kenya.. in answer to you Ellen but I have certainly tried to watch all of the shows available on TV and have mostly been looking at the culture and arts
21:19:04 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Which is wonderful

21:31:40 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: where is woody tonight?
21:31:51 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: jeff - SLA is one of a kind
21:31:52 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Did they talk about the Go Ed button on Voicethread already?
21:32:10 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: hi Peggy
21:32:12 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: ann do you have a question about it?
21:32:12 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: I thinkn there are more of us than you think.
21:32:13 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: what is the go ed button is that the ed-Vt
21:32:32 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff this is an understatement
21:32:34 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: there is only one chrislehman
21:32:35 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: @aliceb No problem..not to worry. I had lots of terrain and security issues to handle anyway..they are all good now
21:32:40 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Yes
21:32:49 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff ditto
21:33:20 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: I think that's underselling U.S. schools.
21:33:31 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Durff :-)
21:33:36 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: We know from what we read online that great things are going on across the country.
21:33:42 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Will they remove all non-ed Voicethreads from what those who contribut $10? What are the benefits?
21:33:49 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, they are
21:33:55 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: excuse the hyperbole
21:33:59 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: What needs to happen is a shared effort to tell our stories.
21:34:02 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ann I want to know that too
21:34:26 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: That makes it well worth the $10 if they do. It's the main reason I don't include the link page at the end of the VTs.
21:34:37 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: I'm science not English I think it's hyperbole. but you are unique
21:34:38 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: New Media..must be our voice and really on some ways is already old hat. :)
21:35:37 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: lol now that's a way to get software upgraded!
21:35:41 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: I'm hoping my district will unblock the ed. version of voicethread
21:35:46 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: What part is hyperbole?
21:35:54 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: How do you deal with having students realistically credit pictures in their VT's- The next go around we may just take all our own pics.
21:35:55 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, I know Barbara.. I have not heard her for some time
21:36:37 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: @SusanEttenheim I guess the question is "What are the specific benefits of Go Ed".
21:36:38 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: "one of a kind"?
21:36:42 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: Problematic having students simply grabbing photos online to create their VT's
21:36:43 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Please let us know more about her part
21:36:49 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: here you go ann
21:36:55 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: thanks for your question

21:38:20 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ben I applied for the free education one but got no reply to me or to the school email address. Should I apply again
21:38:38 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: I was at a public school today and it was blocked there in NJ
21:38:42 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @Ban cos I have used up my 3 or 4 free ones
21:38:45 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: We did a social networking workshop in Phoenix covering many tools and the one that was most enthusiastically received was Voicethread!

21:40:49 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ban thanks
21:40:59 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: The accountability provided by ed.voicethread should make a BIG difference!
21:41:08 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Welcome chep2m
21:41:10 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @lee :)
21:41:22 chep2m -> -EdTechTalk: Chep2m is me, Ellen...hi.
21:41:23 ben -> -EdTechTalk: we think so
21:41:55 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: any studies on school districts/tech admins getting sued for lapses in their filters?
21:42:58 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @Steve-can you clarify the phone charges and how the account works?
21:44:18 ben -> -EdTechTalk: 10$ for 60 mins
21:44:29 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Can you search on ed.voicethread to VTs that contain videos?
21:44:35 Steve -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Peggy, learning/trying to type and listen;) The phone commenting is unfortunately not free, we have to pay a phone company for the call
21:44:40 ben -> -EdTechTalk: good question
21:44:47 ben -> -EdTechTalk: let me think
21:44:57 Steve -> -EdTechTalk: No, but it's on the list
21:44:58 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: hi coachkevin welcome
21:45:12 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: kevan
21:45:18 ben -> -EdTechTalk: if the video was tagged with the word 'video'
21:45:19 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: what do you coach?
21:45:31 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Big grin :-) Thanks. I know videos are relatively new but they provide a lot of stimulation for responses. :-)
21:45:37 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: basketball, or learning to do it anyway
21:45:51 ben -> -EdTechTalk: love video!
21:45:56 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: great welcome we're talking about Voice Thread - have you used it?
21:45:57 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Hi CoachKevin
21:45:59 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Tagging with video--great idea! Is that tip included somewhere on the site?
21:46:19 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: a coworker just told me that you were discussing that
21:46:22 ben -> -EdTechTalk: no. because I just thought of it!
21:46:30 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: i have a unit coming up that might use it
21:46:32 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: You're awesome!
21:46:37 ben -> -EdTechTalk: funny
21:46:44 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Oh.. was it Karen Ellis?
21:46:52 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: Zac Chase
21:46:56 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: what would you like to know about it kevan?
21:46:58 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Mr. Chase
21:47:04 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: have you tried it yet?
21:47:07 ben -> -EdTechTalk: u guys are the one's that come up with all the ideas
21:47:16 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: Saw that the last 2 weeks w/ students seeing their clustr maps get hits from other countries on their blogs
21:47:34 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: dont even know what it is. My kids are doing a photo essay, and Chase thinks it would be good to use for narration
21:48:02 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Can a voicethread be used in a mashup on a Google map?
21:48:03 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: The students were amazed when there were multiple countries looking at their wiki work with podcasts and VTs
21:48:22 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Hi AllanahK
21:48:33 ben -> -EdTechTalk: that's great
21:48:33 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ann what is the url for your wiki and podcasts
21:49:07 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: not ignoring - student on meebo
21:49:21 ben -> -EdTechTalk: not yet Peggy
21:49:25 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: field fire near her and she has a lot to say
21:49:41 AllanahK -> -EdTechTalk: Hi there all- just got home from first work day in 2008
21:49:50 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: hi allanah
21:50:03 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Just thinking that would be a great bonus with VT :-)
21:50:13 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: http://saintmichaelcomputer.wikispaces.com - see copyright, fair use, plagiarism on left side menu
21:50:37 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: The bell has just gone so lunch is finished and the students will be in class. See you and thanks
21:50:46 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Bye murcha
21:50:49 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: bye
21:50:54 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: http://scottsfloyd.edublogs.org/2008/01/24/kenya-escape-through-digital-...
21:51:02 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: bye Anne
21:51:04 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: coach kevan - can you hear this?
21:52:07 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @Ann just shared your VTs today to a group of beg. teachers
21:52:44 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: listening away
21:52:55 woscholar -> -EdTechTalk: bye durff
21:53:19 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: That is such an important point! The content is critical or it just becomes another presentation tool without interaction.
21:53:27 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: hear what? Im Sorry
21:53:36 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: @derrallg wow, thanks. Did you see what the math students did?
21:53:46 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Audio is coming through fine for me on iTunes
21:54:01 chep2m -> -EdTechTalk: Ellen here; I just got cut off somehow?
21:54:08 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: When you say the tools matter do you mean that there are skills involved in figuring out those tools?
21:54:10 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @ann no is linked off your main page?
21:54:13 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: I'm doing surprisingly well with the audio tonight
21:54:22 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: ellen can you listen on the site edtechtalk.com?
21:54:34 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: just click the listen button?
21:55:18 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @Ann I shared the Mathplayground k-7 project
21:55:21 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: I see value in simply seeing if students can spend 45 minutes figuring out how a new tool works by reading the directions- clicking around and experimenting
21:55:27 chep2m -> -EdTechTalk: I actually think that I might sign out. Scott has the real story covered and can take it from here. Thanks, one and all...and I will stay tuned to Scott in hopes that there is something more that we can do.
21:55:57 chep2m -> -EdTechTalk: in the meantime...this type of teaching is so powerful and meaningful for all involved, and I commend you all for supporting it and doing it. Lucky kids. Have fun with it; be well...Ellen
21:56:00 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I agree--I think the teachers play a key role in extending the learning through a VT so it's not just pictures and shallow, single responses.
21:56:04 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: @derrallg no on math blog. Having copy/paste troubles. I'll send it to you via twitter
21:56:09 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Nice thread http://youthwiki.wikispaces.com/Russian+Orthodox+Slavic+Christmas
21:56:27 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @Ann great, thanks
21:58:53 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: That's a great suggestion for an alternative to scanning student projects--doing it on a free online site would work well.
22:01:09 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Did I miss the explanation about Tumbler? Is there a link?
22:01:19 paulallison -> -EdTechTalk: tumblr.com
22:01:20 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: tumblr.com
22:01:26 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks.
22:01:33 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: we hoped to have the founder on tonight but maybe next week
22:01:33 ben -> -EdTechTalk: microblog
22:01:41 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Do we have a couple of good tumblr examples?
22:01:49 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: Do you have students on Tumblr- do they create their own accounts? do you rss all the feeds?
22:02:03 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: The sign up is really fast
22:02:51 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: You're right! I just signed up! Less than 30 secs.
22:03:03 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: mrmayo save your questions for next week and we'll see if we can get david then!
22:03:18 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: okay
22:03:48 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Do you get a URL when you upload a photo on tumblr?
22:04:01 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @Ann i think twitter just went out couldn't send you DM
22:05:00 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: I like how Tumblr and Kwout work so well together
22:05:16 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: What's Kwout?
22:05:29 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: getting late - nite ye'all

21:13:49 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: but wondered,,,, as a live participant at the conference, what do you think is the main thing I missed by only being virtually
21:13:52 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: lee that's great - I wanted to but never was able to get to the computer
21:13:57 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: THX Durff- I wish I would have met you in person at SLA
21:14:06 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i think i might graduate in 3329
21:14:09 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: oops..virtual
21:14:20 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @susan yes subtract two years everytime durff helps someone
21:14:30 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: ;)
21:14:32 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: I really enjoyed Educon2
21:14:32 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: can i live that long?
21:14:44 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: I think the thing you miss is the sense of connection.
21:14:52 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: has anyone here ever been to Kenya?
21:15:00 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: I feel like it's otherwise a bit of a nerdy reality TV show.
21:15:02 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: well derrall, in that case....make it 1875
21:15:20 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: oh boy i'm getting confused
21:15:20 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: i most enjoyed the chat participationa nd that Will for example was live blogging during the panel on sunday morning...
21:15:24 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: remember snow on the tv?
21:15:25 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: hi mcarls welcome
21:15:30 judi epcke -> -EdTechTalk: We had plans to go last summer, but cancelled
21:16:06 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: because of the situation judi?
21:16:08 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @lee i've missed all the live blogging what makes it appealing?
21:16:23 judi epcke -> -EdTechTalk: was going to go with a church group to work in the Kibera slums this summer, but they aren't allowed to go
21:16:28 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: ahhh welcome ellen from california
21:16:53 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: @chase - I was much more "there" becasue I knew I could blog something to him ..the front lines so to speak..so could contribute immediately
21:16:55 judi epcke -> -EdTechTalk: @susan yep, we were a little concerned about the political climate
21:17:03 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: Okay cos I am from Australia
21:17:11 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: Definitely, I understand.
21:18:16 judi epcke -> -EdTechTalk: @mrchase a nerdy reality show -- LOL I didn't think so as I was watching this weekend, but now that you mention it...
21:18:40 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: I have never been to Kenya.. in answer to you Ellen but I have certainly tried to watch all of the shows available on TV and have mostly been looking at the culture and arts
21:19:04 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Which is wonderful
21:19:09 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: HI Kim

21:21:42 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Hello Alex
21:21:45 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: what would you like to ask mrchase?
21:21:56 alexr -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Lee.
21:22:06 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: I just had students experiment w/ VT the last two weeks- a bit bumpy- but they really like using it
21:22:08 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: With all of these tools for the students, where is the teacher advocacy?
21:22:30 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Welcome and here is the link we have discussed this evening. http://scottsfloyd.edublogs.org/2008/01/24/kenya-escape-through-digital-...
21:22:32 ben -> -EdTechTalk: sorry for the bumps
21:22:37 ben -> -EdTechTalk: on VT
21:22:55 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: We dont teach keyboarding any more either
21:23:08 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: bumpy NOT because of VT- bumpy on our end as far as making quality videos.
21:23:13 ben -> -EdTechTalk: ah
21:23:25 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: hi ann
21:23:27 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: welcome
21:23:30 ben -> -EdTechTalk: we're in the clear then...
21:23:44 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: I tried to enrol for the education version of VT but still have not got an email reply. Nor has the school. Any suggestions. Enrol again
21:23:45 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: hi Ann
21:23:49 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Susan looking forward to talk
21:23:54 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: Sorry, I got kicked out.
21:23:58 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: I have a quality control w/ what we post. Out of 3 or 4 VT videos I think 1 will make it online- but it's good experience for teh next go around
21:24:01 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Hi derrall
21:24:11 ben -> -EdTechTalk: registration should be very quick
21:24:12 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: @chase What do you mean.. teacher advocacy for the apps some of us use?
21:24:18 ben -> -EdTechTalk: let me look into it
21:24:27 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: ah chase is back
21:24:28 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: The students have been BLOWN AWAY by VT- amazed
21:24:30 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ben so should registration go to me or the school admin
21:24:34 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: hi gary
21:24:37 ben -> -EdTechTalk: so good to hear
21:24:53 gary -> -EdTechTalk: Hello
21:24:58 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: No, I mean, advocacy for what we do in the classroom.

21:29:05 mrbest -> -EdTechTalk: he really gets around
21:29:06 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: I have got a nice meeting place now and a nice ppt. screen as well as two video/tv screen with live feeds running
21:29:12 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: aren't we doing that now?
21:29:26 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: You did.
21:29:38 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: he gets into all the shows too
21:29:41 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: impressive!
21:29:56 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: anyone else have a question?
21:29:59 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: jump on in!
21:30:26 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: david is on his way back from boston and got held up on a late amtrak but will be joining us soon
21:30:29 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: @Alice WE will start having a weekly meeting to discuss P21 and how we can begin to rebuild the educational frameworks to truly be effective
21:31:03 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: I would love for you to join us as we get started finally!
21:31:10 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: how many schools are like SLA in the state?
21:31:13 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: not this librarian - on call for panicky learners & parents completeing annotated bibliographies due Friday
21:31:16 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Woody is helping out and will be working with me on this as well.
21:31:31 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: lee Let me know as I would love to help in any way I can. Haven't meant to be so out of the loop!
21:31:40 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: where is woody tonight?
21:31:51 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: jeff - SLA is one of a kind
21:31:52 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Did they talk about the Go Ed button on Voicethread already?
21:32:10 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: hi Peggy
21:32:12 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: ann do you have a question about it?
21:32:12 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: I thinkn there are more of us than you think.
21:32:13 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: what is the go ed button is that the ed-Vt
21:32:32 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff this is an understatement
21:32:34 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: there is only one chrislehman
21:32:35 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: @aliceb No problem..not to worry. I had lots of terrain and security issues to handle anyway..they are all good now
21:32:40 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Yes
21:32:49 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff ditto
21:33:20 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: I think that's underselling U.S. schools.
21:33:31 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Durff :-)
21:33:36 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: We know from what we read online that great things are going on across the country.
21:33:42 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Will they remove all non-ed Voicethreads from what those who contribut $10? What are the benefits?
21:33:49 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, they are
21:33:55 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: excuse the hyperbole
21:33:59 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: What needs to happen is a shared effort to tell our stories.
21:34:02 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ann I want to know that too
21:34:26 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: That makes it well worth the $10 if they do. It's the main reason I don't include the link page at the end of the VTs.
21:34:37 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: I'm science not English I think it's hyperbole. but you are unique
21:34:38 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: New Media..must be our voice and really on some ways is already old hat. :)
21:35:37 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: lol now that's a way to get software upgraded!
21:35:41 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: I'm hoping my district will unblock the ed. version of voicethread
21:35:46 MrChase -> -EdTechTalk: What part is hyperbole?
21:35:54 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: How do you deal with having students realistically credit pictures in their VT's- The next go around we may just take all our own pics.
21:35:55 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, I know Barbara.. I have not heard her for some time
21:36:37 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: @SusanEttenheim I guess the question is "What are the specific benefits of Go Ed".
21:36:38 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: "one of a kind"?
21:36:42 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: Problematic having students simply grabbing photos online to create their VT's
21:36:43 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Please let us know more about her part
21:36:49 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: here you go ann
21:36:55 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: thanks for your question
21:36:59 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: THanks
21:37:28 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Steve and Ben are incredible about replying to emails and questions!
21:37:42 ben -> -EdTechTalk: thanks
21:37:42 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Yes..they certainly are!
21:37:53 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Within a minutes
21:38:10 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: great pic!http://flickr.com/photos/87845525@N00/2220671460/
21:38:20 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ben I applied for the free education one but got no reply to me or to the school email address. Should I apply again
21:38:38 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: I was at a public school today and it was blocked there in NJ
21:38:42 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @Ban cos I have used up my 3 or 4 free ones
21:38:45 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: We did a social networking workshop in Phoenix covering many tools and the one that was most enthusiastically received was Voicethread!
21:38:47 ben -> -EdTechTalk: send me your info
21:38:50 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: http://flickr.com/photos/87845525@N00/2220671460/
21:38:52 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: I'm in a private school so I can use it easily
21:39:20 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ben mirtschin.gmail.com and I teach at hawkesdale college in Victoria, Australia
21:39:22 ben -> -EdTechTalk: that's great peggy
21:39:30 ben -> -EdTechTalk: that's so nice to hear
21:39:40 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ben sorry that is also Australia
21:39:51 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: murcha..did you tell us what you teach? I'm sorry if i missed that
21:40:19 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @lee no I teach info tech to grades 4-12 and like doing collaborative projects
21:40:42 ben -> -EdTechTalk: murcha - i will see what's going on
21:40:44 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: http://scottsfloyd.edublogs.org/2008/01/24/kenya-escape-through-digital-...
21:40:49 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ban thanks
21:40:59 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: The accountability provided by ed.voicethread should make a BIG difference!
21:41:08 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Welcome chep2m
21:41:10 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @lee :)
21:41:22 chep2m -> -EdTechTalk: Chep2m is me, Ellen...hi.
21:41:23 ben -> -EdTechTalk: we think so
21:41:55 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: any studies on school districts/tech admins getting sued for lapses in their filters?
21:42:58 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @Steve-can you clarify the phone charges and how the account works?
21:44:18 ben -> -EdTechTalk: 10$ for 60 mins
21:44:29 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Can you search on ed.voicethread to VTs that contain videos?
21:44:35 Steve -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Peggy, learning/trying to type and listen;) The phone commenting is unfortunately not free, we have to pay a phone company for the call
21:44:40 ben -> -EdTechTalk: good question
21:44:47 ben -> -EdTechTalk: let me think
21:44:57 Steve -> -EdTechTalk: No, but it's on the list
21:44:58 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: hi coachkevin welcome
21:45:12 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: kevan
21:45:18 ben -> -EdTechTalk: if the video was tagged with the word 'video'
21:45:19 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: what do you coach?
21:45:31 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Big grin :-) Thanks. I know videos are relatively new but they provide a lot of stimulation for responses. :-)
21:45:37 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: basketball, or learning to do it anyway
21:45:51 ben -> -EdTechTalk: love video!
21:45:56 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: great welcome we're talking about Voice Thread - have you used it?
21:45:57 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Hi CoachKevin
21:45:59 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Tagging with video--great idea! Is that tip included somewhere on the site?
21:46:19 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: a coworker just told me that you were discussing that
21:46:22 ben -> -EdTechTalk: no. because I just thought of it!
21:46:30 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: i have a unit coming up that might use it
21:46:32 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: You're awesome!
21:46:37 ben -> -EdTechTalk: funny
21:46:44 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Oh.. was it Karen Ellis?
21:46:52 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: Zac Chase
21:46:56 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: what would you like to know about it kevan?
21:46:58 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Mr. Chase
21:47:04 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: have you tried it yet?
21:47:07 ben -> -EdTechTalk: u guys are the one's that come up with all the ideas
21:47:16 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: Saw that the last 2 weeks w/ students seeing their clustr maps get hits from other countries on their blogs
21:47:34 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: dont even know what it is. My kids are doing a photo essay, and Chase thinks it would be good to use for narration
21:48:02 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Can a voicethread be used in a mashup on a Google map?
21:48:03 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: The students were amazed when there were multiple countries looking at their wiki work with podcasts and VTs
21:48:22 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Hi AllanahK
21:48:33 ben -> -EdTechTalk: that's great
21:48:33 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: @ann what is the url for your wiki and podcasts
21:49:07 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: not ignoring - student on meebo
21:49:21 ben -> -EdTechTalk: not yet Peggy
21:49:25 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: field fire near her and she has a lot to say
21:49:41 AllanahK -> -EdTechTalk: Hi there all- just got home from first work day in 2008
21:49:50 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: hi allanah
21:50:03 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Just thinking that would be a great bonus with VT :-)
21:50:13 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: http://saintmichaelcomputer.wikispaces.com - see copyright, fair use, plagiarism on left side menu
21:50:37 murcha -> -EdTechTalk: The bell has just gone so lunch is finished and the students will be in class. See you and thanks
21:50:46 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: Bye murcha
21:50:49 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: bye
21:50:54 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: http://scottsfloyd.edublogs.org/2008/01/24/kenya-escape-through-digital-...
21:51:02 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: bye Anne
21:51:04 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: coach kevan - can you hear this?
21:52:07 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @Ann just shared your VTs today to a group of beg. teachers
21:52:44 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: listening away
21:52:55 woscholar -> -EdTechTalk: bye durff
21:53:19 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: That is such an important point! The content is critical or it just becomes another presentation tool without interaction.
21:53:27 coachkevan -> -EdTechTalk: hear what? Im Sorry
21:53:36 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: @derrallg wow, thanks. Did you see what the math students did?
21:53:46 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Audio is coming through fine for me on iTunes
21:54:01 chep2m -> -EdTechTalk: Ellen here; I just got cut off somehow?
21:54:08 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: When you say the tools matter do you mean that there are skills involved in figuring out those tools?
21:54:10 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @ann no is linked off your main page?
21:54:13 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: I'm doing surprisingly well with the audio tonight
21:54:22 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: ellen can you listen on the site edtechtalk.com?
21:54:34 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: just click the listen button?
21:55:18 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @Ann I shared the Mathplayground k-7 project
21:55:21 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: I see value in simply seeing if students can spend 45 minutes figuring out how a new tool works by reading the directions- clicking around and experimenting
21:55:27 chep2m -> -EdTechTalk: I actually think that I might sign out. Scott has the real story covered and can take it from here. Thanks, one and all...and I will stay tuned to Scott in hopes that there is something more that we can do.
21:55:57 chep2m -> -EdTechTalk: in the meantime...this type of teaching is so powerful and meaningful for all involved, and I commend you all for supporting it and doing it. Lucky kids. Have fun with it; be well...Ellen
21:56:00 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I agree--I think the teachers play a key role in extending the learning through a VT so it's not just pictures and shallow, single responses.
21:56:04 Ann-NJTechTeacher -> -EdTechTalk: @derrallg no on math blog. Having copy/paste troubles. I'll send it to you via twitter
21:56:09 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Nice thread http://youthwiki.wikispaces.com/Russian+Orthodox+Slavic+Christmas
21:56:27 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @Ann great, thanks
21:58:53 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: That's a great suggestion for an alternative to scanning student projects--doing it on a free online site would work well.
22:01:09 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Did I miss the explanation about Tumbler? Is there a link?
22:01:19 paulallison -> -EdTechTalk: tumblr.com
22:01:20 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: tumblr.com
22:01:26 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks.
22:01:33 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: we hoped to have the founder on tonight but maybe next week
22:01:33 ben -> -EdTechTalk: microblog
22:01:41 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: Do we have a couple of good tumblr examples?
22:01:49 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: Do you have students on Tumblr- do they create their own accounts? do you rss all the feeds?
22:02:03 Lee Baber -> -EdTechTalk: The sign up is really fast
22:02:51 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: You're right! I just signed up! Less than 30 secs.
22:03:03 SusanEttenheim -> -EdTechTalk: mrmayo save your questions for next week and we'll see if we can get david then!
22:03:18 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: okay
22:03:48 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Do you get a URL when you upload a photo on tumblr?
22:04:01 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @Ann i think twitter just went out couldn't send you DM
22:05:00 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: I like how Tumblr and Kwout work so well together
22:05:16 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: What's Kwout?
22:05:29 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: getting late - nite ye'all
22:05:38 mrmayo -> -EdTechTalk: bye :)
