2009-06-18 19:46:46 [Message] EricSailers -> -EdTechTalk: Anybody use a Wiki for notetaking in workshops or classes?
2009-06-18 19:46:51 [Message] cheryloakes50~seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: Loonyhiker, how did your students respond? were they all over it?
2009-06-18 19:46:52 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: having a scribe of the day sounds like a fantastic idea!
2009-06-18 19:47:01 [Message] carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: Scribe of the day - or scribes who collaborate and fix notes before uploading. I like that.
2009-06-18 19:47:02 [Message] cheryloakes50~seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, hurumble, we missed you!
2009-06-18 19:47:05 [Message] EricSailers -> -EdTechTalk: Now I see @loonyhiker.  Cool to hear.
2009-06-18 19:48:36 [Message] bgreenst -> -EdTechTalk: We need to give kids opportunities to think and talk about how they learn.
2009-06-18 19:48:39 [Message] EricSailers -> -EdTechTalk: even just photo on iPhone helps me to remember student names. Helped me a lot when I met several new 8th graders on a east coast trip.
2009-06-18 19:48:46 [Message] carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: I've just learned most of my 200 8th graders' names, and now they are leaving to go up to the big house.:(

2009-06-18 19:49:01 [Message] loonyhiker -> -EdTechTalk: very nervous at first, they had never used a wiki before, now they are getting more comfortable. http://edex122.pbworks.com/Chapter-7
2009-06-18 19:49:04 [Message] cheryloakes50~seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: nice job Carol, it is hard to watch them go.
2009-06-18 19:49:11 [Message] EricSailers -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, @bgreenst. We need to teach students to think and learn.
2009-06-18 19:49:18 [Message] cheryloakes50~seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: loonyhiker thanks for sharing!
2009-06-18 19:49:34 [Message] loonyhiker -> -EdTechTalk: remember that my "students" are really teachers
2009-06-18 19:49:54 [Message] cheryloakes50~seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: loonyhiker, the most difficult of student then :-)
2009-06-18 19:50:17 [Message] EricSailers -> -EdTechTalk: Uggh - My popup blocker is blocking the hyperlinks

2009-06-18 19:50:51 [Message] EricSailers -> -EdTechTalk: Love the idea of allowing students to submit a project in the format they choose.
2009-06-18 19:50:56 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: that happens to me sometimes too Eric--can you open a second browser--maybe Safari?
2009-06-18 19:51:12 [Message] loonyhiker -> -EdTechTalk: my "students" have learned how to twitter and plurk, use a wiki, use youtube, and are blogging (just in 2 weeks)
2009-06-18 19:51:20 [Message] EricSailers -> -EdTechTalk: Let me try @PeggyG
2009-06-18 19:51:41 [Message] cheryloakes50~seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: excellent model for those new students of web 2.0
2009-06-18 19:51:50 [Message] carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: Again, please, how do I turn off Java notice applet. Everytime someone makes a comment, it pops up, and stops me from typing.
2009-06-18 19:51:54 [Message] loonyhiker -> -EdTechTalk: one of my tchr is a K4 teacher and we are seeing how we can incorporate tech in her young class
2009-06-18 19:52:15 [Message] cheryloakes50~seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: send to Maria Knee's blog
2009-06-18 19:53:30 [Message] EricSailers -> -EdTechTalk: I don't think that we can assume students know any web 2.0 tool.  The tools are changing so fast that we're all learning together.
2009-06-18 19:53:37 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: didn't respond carolteach4 because I'm not sure--seems like a browser preference
2009-06-18 19:53:49 [Message] loonyhiker -> -EdTechTalk: @cheryl thx will share that with her
2009-06-18 19:53:51 [Message] hurumble -> -EdTechTalk: very good point cheryl
2009-06-18 19:54:08 [Message] carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: We have a literacy initiative - model everything -sometimes to the point of overkill, but most kids do need direct instrction in writing - at least the kind of writing they want on the Connecticut Mastery Tests
2009-06-18 19:54:14 [Message] loonyhiker -> -EdTechTalk: just talked to my class about multiple intelligences

2009-06-18 20:02:47 [Message] carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: One of the special ed teachers at our sister middle school in Orange had a fund-raiser to buy ipods for her students so they could listen and read the stories being read in class without having to have their aide pull them to the side and read with them. It's the cool factor, and they love it.
