Jen and Sharon held down the show tonight. Cheryl was on vacation in dial up land, the ski mountains and Vicki was rallying her young charges in spring activities. Great show about Earth Day and student involvement with Pam Shoemaker, Shelia Adams and April . Midway through Patrick Higgins rejoins the conversation.

21:25:06 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Students grasp local projects better than global applications in my area

21:25:12 Pam (shoemap) -> -EdTechTalk: probably past their bedtime

21:25:24 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Using data to support their learning--great process

21:25:52 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: hmmmm perhaps I misunderstood

21:25:53 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Student Voice/participation is wonderful

21:26:01 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Read/Write Web has a list of the greenest search engines today.

21:26:03 grace -> -EdTechTalk: What a great project!

21:26:06 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: We are asking about Admin Involvement and Parent Concerns

21:26:14 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: if you have ??? please ask them here

21:26:52 khokanson -> -EdTechTalk: GREAT question jen

21:27:01 khokanson -> -EdTechTalk: That is HUGE

21:27:06 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: green Green to this :D

21:27:08 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: what a great use of podcasts--review tool :-)

21:27:16 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Yep -- big deal -- safety for students but ability to have a voice

21:27:28 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Volunteered to go to Regents' workshop - need state/national guidelines re. connectivity

21:28:03 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Cyber safety curriculum?

21:28:08 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: value of blogs -- that the outside world can see what you are doing!!!

21:28:13 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: we need that

21:28:22 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: yes dianne

21:28:23 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @ColetteC do you have a link you could share for your student animated banners for Earth Day?

21:28:28 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: 120 students -- 2 concerns with safety

21:28:36 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Parents and admin more worried about adult predators than bullies, the real danger

21:29:02 khokanson -> -EdTechTalk: sure is

21:29:20 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Yes! blogs make learning transparent

21:29:34 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Bill of Rights for students --

21:29:54 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Unfortunate that we have to fight this battle district by district

21:30:01 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: oh wow, the night is not over.... invited the wrong Patrick Higgins along to our conversation in skype....

21:30:08 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: LOL

21:30:21 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: we have the right one lined up now.....

21:30:21 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: There are two of me?

21:30:23 diane -> -EdTechTalk: There's a wrong Patrick Higgins?

21:30:31 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: What do you guys this of this blog entry by D'Arcy Norman http://www.darcynorman.net/2008/04/22/earth-day-sucks/ and how does this tie into what we are discussing tonight???

21:30:33 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: my dark side

21:30:42 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I send out a publishing permission slip at the beginning of the year for images, student work, voice, and writing.

21:30:44 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: there seem to be MANY Patrick HIggins out there

21:30:48 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: pjhiggins are you multiplying again?

21:30:56 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: April-how did you manage the student posting? Were they required to post on specific topics? Was it voluntary?

21:30:58 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Talk about transparency - I keep my dark side hidden!

21:31:20 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: i would never have thought dianne!

21:31:29 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I am very deep

21:31:33 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: in my mind the teacher WAS in antarticia during the podcast -- and don't tell me otherwise :)

21:31:36 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: :)

21:31:38 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Now I have that song from Eddie and the Cruisers in my head.

21:31:39 april w -> -EdTechTalk: sorry all I have been a bit out of it in responding

21:31:39 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Unplumbed depths

21:32:02 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: You're so right Darcy. every day should be earth day. But sometimes awareness-raising promotions help to jumpstart things.

21:32:05 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @pjhiggins sing a few bars

21:32:06 april w -> -EdTechTalk: with students posting at first I required them to post during the getting started phase

21:32:08 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I have only had two parents in the class object to their child picture being on our web site.

21:32:29 april w -> -EdTechTalk: yet as time went on I left it more open because it evolved this way

21:32:36 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Have a cold--would sound terrible. Hoping to not sound too bad this evening.

21:32:40 april w -> -EdTechTalk: plus the kids were so into it there wasn't a need to require it

21:32:48 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Those two student were really disappointed that they couldn't be in the picture

21:33:16 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: hi again kathy

21:33:25 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: hi again welcomer!

21:33:27 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Peggy -- your question is coming up

21:33:27 lparisi -> -EdTechTalk: @pj You too? I have no voice anymore!

21:33:46 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: If parents can see and hear you're doing, they are more likely agree next time.

21:34:01 diane -> -EdTechTalk: LOL

21:34:03 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: lol

21:34:08 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: That's a great way to get them started--I think they get hooked on blogging once they start reading the comments.

21:34:20 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: not my experience James

21:34:32 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Do you grade grammar and spelling?

21:34:48 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: maybe some day, but resistant so far

21:34:53 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Hey iScott!!

21:35:17 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: @ Durff Are most of the resistant ones the ones that don't use the internet at home?

21:35:20 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Diane -- we are asking your question NOW

21:35:27 diane -> -EdTechTalk: How free are the students to express their opinions?

21:35:34 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: diane, dana huff had a great post about teaching poetry that included links to some great books on teaching writing. I wonder if blogging will be treated as a separate subject in future writing texts?

21:35:36 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @James like everyone? no

21:35:38 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: It sounds like once the students saw a real purpose for posting as a way to communicate they really got into it! Awesome!

21:36:02 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: can we view the blog

21:36:13 diane -> -EdTechTalk: It needs to be in our NYS Standards - I will be pushing for that.

21:36:14 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Comments really makes blogging come alive

21:36:15 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @pj it's not - composition is the same no matter where it is done

21:36:20 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I may hav emissed the link

21:36:25 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: or I wonder if texts will be included in teaching writing in the future?

21:36:47 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Patrick -- your comments are going to be a great segue when we call you up

21:36:52 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: What kind of texts? you mean IM?

21:36:52 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: you ask qts that are so deep

21:36:53 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: http://core04science.learnerblogs.org/

21:36:58 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: student's writing changes when they know they have an audience

21:37:20 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: I have heard that NZ recognizes and accepts text chat (IM speak) on their exams and formal assignments

21:37:22 diane -> -EdTechTalk: How many will be allowed to have a broad audience?

21:37:27 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: No, I mean books.

21:37:36 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: ahh.... written text

21:37:50 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Walled blogs no better than written essays in class

21:38:00 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Peer review can be very powerful!

21:38:18 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: We are at the point where we are offfering laptops to departments in lieu of textbooks if they want them.

21:38:29 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: @diane Interesting. I had wondered about walled off blogs

21:38:37 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @pj wow that is neat

21:38:41 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @pjhiggins - would you believe that the blog form (and forums and other online writing) have been included in the standardized exams here in Quebec this year

21:38:44 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @diane i think that there is more community within the class either walled or public

21:38:51 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: so far, very few takers.

21:38:57 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Laptops banned for students, iffy for staff because circumvent filter

21:39:01 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: i'll take 25

21:39:04 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Sharon, that's great.

21:39:20 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: send 'sm here

21:39:35 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: lol

21:39:37 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I agree, if interaction. Building a community, even if limited numbers

21:39:41 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @pjhiggins - While I was excited, I wondered if the teachers were prepared for that - are they adequately preparing their students for the exam??

21:39:56 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: yeah pam!

21:40:04 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: The students we heard seemed to be very passionate about ways to save the earth! They want to talk about it!

21:40:16 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Our faculty has no incentive to innovate.

21:40:23 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @sharon why prepare for a test?

21:40:38 khokanson -> -EdTechTalk: @peggy that is SO true.... I think kids sometimes get it more than WE do

21:40:42 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @peggyg i agree

21:40:44 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: @diane Filters won't cut it. Digital Citizenship education needed too

21:40:59 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: One reason students are passionate about Earth Day and this topic in general is b/c they feel like they can actually do something about it

21:41:00 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @James so agree

21:41:06 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Hate filters, but district scared of CIPA

21:41:18 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff - It is a different kind of exam... over several days, lots of response and peer review - very humane - but have we prepared our students about appropriate online communication where critical thinking skills are necessary and required??

21:41:26 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @Colette i think you have sth there

21:41:57 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: The students weren't just talking about things for the show-they were committed to continuing on to make a difference no matter how small it might seem.

21:42:00 iscottanderson -> -EdTechTalk: has anyone every been aduited for CIPA compliance?

21:42:18 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: @diane filters helps accidentally stumbling onto inappropriate sites, but that is their limit.

21:42:33 diane -> -EdTechTalk: State Police warned our admin about YouTube. Now blocked

21:42:35 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @sharton ah! i think it was so evident to me today that i need to do a much better job of preparing my students with digital citizenship skills

21:42:43 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I loved the wrapup-reminded me of the wrapup after the k12online conference.

21:43:02 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: that is lorna's quote

21:43:07 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: not durff

21:43:16 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @diane - what a shame... hope you can still discriminately download teh good videos and share with your students

21:43:21 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: @diane What!? what did State Police warn about Youtube?

21:43:54 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I do what I can. Only allowed to use TeacherTube & SchoolTube. Very spare resources.

21:43:57 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: @Diane -- I would suggest that you request a voice with the State Police -- or at least write a letter asking for clarification on why a blanket rule

21:44:16 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I missed the middle of the night too but will definitely check out the recordings!

21:44:20 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Youtube v. "The Man"

21:44:29 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: one can download youtube videos using zamzar.com and then show the students from a flash drie

21:44:36 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Scare tactics. Kids can get around filter, if they choose. It's a challenge.

21:44:49 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: There are so many great videos on Youtube, and many great resources

21:44:52 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: the promo video was great

21:45:02 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: I agree, youtube has so much good stuff

21:45:15 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: The mp3 transitions with the public serice announcements were so smooth and connected everything together

21:45:44 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: The PSA is a video too.

21:45:48 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I know how to get around - but job could be in jeopardy it I do.

21:45:50 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: @Peggy I agree transitions were good

21:46:21 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: The many accents were delightful and really made you feel you were connected worldwide--we were!

21:46:52 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I car pool; read Clifford story to younger students re. Earth Day

21:46:57 cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: we're driving Prius' and riding our bikes :-) ... when it's not snowing

21:46:59 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: I listened last night to the hour about Earth Day grocery bag project - great for elementary schools - http://www.earthdaybags.org/

21:47:04 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Is this the "proper" Patrick?

21:47:05 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: the global thing blew some minds at my school

21:47:15 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Hmmmm is he proper?? Not sure

21:47:19 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @cherit - so funny!

21:47:35 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I want to do the Earth Day bags next year

21:47:39 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: and then hearing doug and pam on my speakers in the hallway

21:47:40 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I have so many links to go back and really explore. The YouTube video PSA was excellent! He is so talented!

21:47:45 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: We need to expand the EARTH DAY WIKI

21:47:52 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: and I agree EARTH DAY SHOULD NOT JUST BE TODAY!!

21:47:57 cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: thanks - see you all later - have a good earth evening

21:48:01 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Night Cheri

21:48:04 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: bye cheri

21:48:06 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: NIght Cheri

21:48:29 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Ah, for a big chunk of money...

21:48:33 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Wouldn't the teachers then need to know how to use the laptops?

21:48:33 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: my skyped got tired - had to reboot

21:48:50 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: I want laptops instead of textbooks!!!!

21:48:56 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @James i think they would

21:49:02 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Me too!

21:49:03 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: If people continue to post their links and blog posts with earthcast08 it will definitely live on. A new photo album was started on Flickr with that tag.

21:49:11 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @Colette me too!

21:49:25 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Mike!

21:49:36 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: awww!

21:49:47 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Where do we get the money for the initial iinvestment in 1:1?

21:49:51 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: quite laughing Jen

21:50:05 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Laughing?? I am choking!!

21:50:22 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: you were laughing at me wanting laptops

21:50:28 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: good cover

21:50:29 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I don't think so

21:50:34 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I want laptops too

21:50:47 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: The paperless movement is such a challenge and moving so slowly--especially for teachers.

21:51:12 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: i'm ready

21:51:22 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: i use no txts now

21:51:25 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I admit -- I struggle tooo

21:51:25 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I'm ready, but admin want EVERYTHING backed up in paper

21:51:30 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I like holding books

21:51:41 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: not me

21:51:49 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Library books are different :-)

21:51:52 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @diane-I know-we have so much "documentation" that is required!

21:51:53 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: and i am the 'librarian'

21:52:07 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I am the library goddess!

21:52:21 diane -> -EdTechTalk: and the Current Events teacher

21:52:45 Lori A -> -EdTechTalk: night all

21:52:55 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: See you on Friday LOR

21:53:00 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: Article about paperless classroom at Education world http://www.education-world.com/a_tech/tech059.shtml

21:53:02 Lori A -> -EdTechTalk: yepperss!!

21:53:03 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: planon lunch if you can!!

21:53:05 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: i want to be a library goddess - where do i apply?

21:53:13 diane -> -EdTechTalk: It won't be in our curriculum without a state mandate - teachers not invested yet

21:53:17 Lori A -> -EdTechTalk: lunch is at Tech Forum included

21:53:20 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: http://doug-johnson.squarespace.com/blue-skunk-blog/2008/4/22/machines-a...

21:53:29 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I will confer goddess status on you.

21:53:34 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: yep -- we can sit at the same table

21:53:40 Lori A -> -EdTechTalk: we can find a table together with Anne and others

21:53:50 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.huffenglish.com/?p=535

21:54:02 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: thank you diane

21:54:12 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @diane here i thought that status difficult to earn

21:54:14 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Welcome to my cloud

21:54:21 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @speters-I'm moving more towards audible books for portability :-)

21:54:36 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: don't rain on my parade derrall

21:54:48 janices -> -EdTechTalk: http://groups.diigo.com/groups/earth-day/ New group on Diigo by Mark Ahlness to gather earth day links

21:55:07 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Goddesses are created, not earned

21:55:31 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: oh to be another gender

21:55:39 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Library Goddess is almost redundant.

21:55:42 janices -> -EdTechTalk: took me a long time to type that. Wouldn't paste. :)

21:55:55 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: lol

21:56:20 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Ctrl+V allows me to paste in links

21:56:37 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I learned in one of the shows today that I could highlight a URL and drag it into the text line--happy camper :-)

21:57:09 janices -> -EdTechTalk: @PeggyG I'll try that next time. Thanks.

21:57:18 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks everyone!

21:57:21 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Doesn't diigo allow annotation of web pages?

21:57:25 chrisssve -> -EdTechTalk: sorry, arrived late. is the topic diigo?

21:57:32 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: It worked on my Mac when copy/paste didn't work.

21:57:34 diane -> -EdTechTalk: speaking of Clay: how do you all feel about adult/student interaction online?

21:57:49 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @PeggyG - it is a cool thing to grab a link and drop it in the chatroom

21:58:09 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Diane, it's a discussion that has to occur. Lolita is a perfect medium for that discussion.

21:58:23 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @James.Sigler-yes, Diigo allows annotation of web pages and even addition of comments

21:58:34 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: speaking of CLAY -- can we really put in presentation ideas for the Shanghai conference?? He said he had 3 accepted

21:58:48 diane -> -EdTechTalk: I agree - got it on ILL, beginning it tomorrow. I have online "granddaughters" now!

21:59:06 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: This was like earth day wrap-up #2. It has been great!

21:59:16 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Jen, I had this idea of hijacking a presentation from the other side of the world.

21:59:17 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Afraid to interact with my own students, have students in my Twitterverse

21:59:29 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: wow it is 9:59

21:59:37 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: how did that happen?

21:59:43 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Great conversation.

21:59:49 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I agree this is like the penultimate Earth Day 2008 wrap up

21:59:55 janices -> -EdTechTalk: @Druff it's only 6:59 :)

21:59:57 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Gave Clay one suggestion, am sure I can come up with others!

21:59:59 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: converse?

22:00:13 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: so much to discuss about paradigm shifts and how to get educators around to thinking ti through

22:00:16 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @janice i feel better now

22:00:23 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Never thought about chat meaning different things to different people-makes so much sense

22:00:46 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2008/04/make-something.html

22:00:49 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: I threatened my students that they would have to deal with durff if they didn't behave in the chat :)

22:00:50 sroseman -> -EdTechTalk: twitter is becoming a verb

22:00:52 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: chat wearing different lens...

22:00:56 pjhiggins -> -EdTechTalk: Loved this post today.

22:01:02 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: derrall!

22:01:08 diane -> -EdTechTalk: Twitter is education, social, Pd

22:01:09 derrallg -> -EdTechTalk: @durff it worked

22:01:18 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I noticed the teachers in the group making frequent reminders about getting on the topic :-)

22:01:19 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: i had a student in here and not a peep

22:01:30 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @pjhiggins - thanks for sharing that!

22:01:39 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: @peggyg - you are right

22:01:54 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: what a whirlwind of a night

22:01:59 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: @derrall mine wouldn't dare

22:02:00 JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: THANKS TO OUR CHATROOM

22:02:02 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: We love having student!

22:04:24 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: am exhausted ... good night all

22:04:44 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Do you have a theme for the NECC live podcast?

22:05:38 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Last year's NECC podcast was so great because you captured the highlights of the conference from lots of different people! Maybe you should do a repeat of that!

22:59:16 Sahithya Prakash -> -EdTechTalk: Hi

Taxonomy upgrade extras:
