cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Hi Maureen, welcome how is snow in western MA |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Hi Cheryl- It's ridiculous- 2nd snow day in a row. Getting a combo of sleet and snow. Had to go out and free up the phone lines- hemlock trees were pulling it down |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: It's waist deep- not even counting the drifts |

cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Hi Michael, |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Hello Gail P |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Missed Maine friends at educon |
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: Hi Cheryl and Maureen |
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: Looked like it was good. Did you enjoy it? |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Hi Gail |
bobsprankle -> EdTechTalk: hi all! |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: @Alice- mixed feelings- lots of energy- lots of questions- not a lot of answers and what next steps |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Our Groundhog Show, Snow Day show!! |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: I remember that one Cheryl. |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Did you have a snow day yesterday? |
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: @lizbdavis wrote a neat post on her educon experience; it's changed over the years for her |
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: No not much snow yesterday |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Maureen, we had a full day of school yesterday |
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: We should also be thinking of our friends in Australia dealing with the Cyclone! |
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: @Gail Thanks I will read that |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: @Gail I read it- feel somewhat the same, but not sad- just wishing I could bottle the energy and take it home with me |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Yes, Michael, I haven't seen any Twitter updates so we are thinking of them. |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Shelia, hello!! |
Sheila -> EdTechTalk: Hi all! |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Hey Sheila! Nice to see you |
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: We talked at a ILT meeting recently about "technology school packs". Much like Meals on Wheels storm packs. |
Sheila -> EdTechTalk: Just get weather report from a friend's husband (expert) - Another storm Sat pm and another mid week - all coming from south so wet, wet, wet. |
bobsprankle -> EdTechTalk: v. cool, michael! |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: I emailed work to kids yesterday- talked thru some stuff on gdocs with 6th graders... had a 4th grader iming me last night- told him to go to bed- it was late |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Hi Lucy |
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: Welcome Lucy |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Hi Michael and Maureen.... trying to get the stream now. |
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: Welcome Del |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: It worked on ettA for me |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Yes, Maureen ,I am looking at google docs to see my students |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Happy Snow Day! It's the first for my kids. Their previous school hadn't called one since 1979. |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Hello Del, |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: This is exciting for Chicago! |
DelBrown -> EdTechTalk: Hi there |
Sheila -> EdTechTalk: I've left some work for my students on my web page. Also left a google form for them to log their work. Hoping to show it would work for home school days. |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: It's crazy here. |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Shelia, little steps! |
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: Lucy, How much snow do you have? |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Lucy, you have big winds! |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Hello GailP |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Hey Alice, are you still work with the Singaporeans? I was thinking about hat last night. |
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: Lost my chat window :O |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: I'm hoping the power stays on. It seems to be changing to a mix here- much rather have snow than ice |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: I'm thinking we have about 2 feet. It's still going on. Winds are strong, but not to bad where I am. Lake Shore Drive apparently is closed. |
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: @Lucy,no we never connected :( Dod they connect with Ryan? |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: No idea! |
Sheila -> EdTechTalk: @maureen - I saw a weather map and you will be getting hail, sleet coming through now. :( |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: We should try to get that going again. |
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: I would love to |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: My plow guy is running out of space to put the snow-gigundo piles at the bottom of the hill |
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: What do we do about those students with no or very limited access to technology at home? I know it is not a big % but it is still a %! |
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: Seems to have just dropped |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Michael, Kern Kelley hands out, verizon cards which are offered at discount education rates!! |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Good question Michael- we have kids with no access |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Student choice... have been thinking about that. My second graders has been saying he hates school this year. And we've decided that going from a school with a lot of choices to one that where he doesn't has ben a factor. |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: We should have Kern on to talk about that. |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Kern Kelley rocks. |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Yes he does Lucy! |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Michael, I think we're going to see more bring your own device programs |
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: I wrote a post on the last snow day about work at home http://bit.ly/f4eL65 so did Kevin @dogtrax but can't find his right now |
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Sorry- what was the name of the book again? |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: If kids have cells at least... |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: then they should be able to use them and schools need to think creatively about allowing all sorts of devices. |
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: At the elementary level, though, not sure how to bring that connectivity divide. |
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: http://moodle.wocsd.org/course/view.php?id=199 |
