2008-10-06 22:06:02 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk:@Peggy, seconded!

2008-10-06 22:06:26 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: itsounds like a pecha kucha presentation--is that 20 slides, 5 minutes?

2008-10-06 22:06:36 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: :-)

2008-10-06 22:06:37 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: Whatwould be the best way to cheerlead k12 online in the school -- from a parent!!

2008-10-06 22:07:20 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:there is a flyer you can post if that would help. Wes shared it on the earliershow today

2008-10-06 22:07:32 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: Whereare the flyers? I couldn't findthem.

2008-10-06 22:08:21 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: willhave to do something more

personal than that -- but I don't want to seem like I amtelling them what they should do...

2008-10-06 22:08:35 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: justhi-lite an opportunity

2008-10-06 22:10:42 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk:Thanks!

2008-10-06 22:10:52 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:@penny-I love the concept of the Lan parties where a small group of people cometogether in someone's living room to watch a presentation or two and talk aboutit.

2008-10-06 22:11:35 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: youcould invite a small group of parents to come and watch something you selectthat would be timely :-)

2008-10-06 22:11:36 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: Wouldthe presentations be such that parents and teachers should/could watch together??

2008-10-06 22:11:48 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk:thinking same thing same time

2008-10-06 22:12:02 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk:certainly the parents as partners would be excellent

2008-10-06 22:12:07 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:absolutely! and you don't have to view them "live" so you can previewand select an appropriate topic

2008-10-06 22:12:18 [Message] shareski -> -EdTechTalk:@Penny....I'm sure some would be, particularly the keynotes

2008-10-06 22:12:55 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: myluck it'll all be blocked at the school ;)

2008-10-06 22:13:42 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk:@Penny, I think that's a great idea. Biggest problem I've had has been withtaxpayers who complain that things were good enough for them 35 years ago, it'sgood enough now.

2008-10-06 22:14:14 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:maybe you can hold it away from school :-)

2008-10-06 22:14:23 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk:(NOTE: I didn't say "parents", I've heard it from a variety ofcommunity members)

2008-10-06 22:14:44 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:@DaveC--yes! I've heard it from teachers too!

2008-10-06 22:15:01 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: isMatt talking?

2008-10-06 22:15:05 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk:Always have access to the community library -- may have to scheme

2008-10-06 22:15:10 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: Ithink I hear someone breathing.

2008-10-06 22:15:45 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: Maybea small, local eatery to keep it really casual

2008-10-06 22:16:06 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: evensome of the presentations that show some exciting things being done withtechnology in schools could be excellent for parents/teachers to watch togetherand discuss.

2008-10-06 22:16:45 [Message] matt montagne ->-EdTechTalk: sorry I can't b heard!!! Rats!

2008-10-06 22:16:48 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: asmall eatery wouldn't have internet -- we are small small town -- we'd cause areal buzz if we did that

2008-10-06 22:17:00 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: foodis good! Jeff Utecht did some pizza and beer Lan parties last year :-) can't dothat at school

2008-10-06 22:17:11 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: nowwe're talking

2008-10-06 22:18:18 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: if youhave wireless access at someone's home you could even do it in the back yardand have a BBQ or potluck and eat and talk

008-10-06 22:18:36 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: I amgoing to work on this -- we have parent council coming up -- supposed to be aparent tech night -- but no parents have been asked to be involved in what ishappening -- maybe soon...

2008-10-06 22:19:38 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: wedid it last year in someone's home who had wireless access and it worked great!we're planning to do it again. Small group--maybe 8 people

2008-10-06 22:20:18 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: Ithink the school should give them time to attend -- but maybe next time afterthey see the value that might happen

2008-10-06 22:20:25 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk:@Peggy, a wireless lan party.

2008-10-06 22:21:02 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: yes:-) We actually called it a LaWN party to keep the word Lan in it

2008-10-06 22:21:17 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk:@Penny, it would be great if that could happen. For us, it is happening at 8:00am.

2008-10-06 22:21:45 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:what's happening at 8:00am? everything is archived and can be viewed anytime

2008-10-06 22:21:55 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: Maybewe'll (parents) throw them a k-12 online party -- show that we support them!

2008-10-06 22:22:22 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: Doh.

2008-10-06 22:22:25 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: Iknew that.

2008-10-06 22:22:28 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:@penny-great idea! do it :-) It would be fun!

2008-10-06 22:23:08 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk:Anyone know when the fireside chats are going to be?

2008-10-06 22:23:19 [Message] penny -> -EdTechTalk: it isjust really nervewracking as a parent to tread into that domain

2008-10-06 22:23:20 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:that's such a great point Dean! keep promoting everything!

2008-10-06 22:24:10 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: thefireside chat times aren't posted yet but will be soon

2008-10-06 22:24:57 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: We'rerunning into issues with allowing anyone in the classroom who hasn't beenfingerprinted first due to FERPA.

2008-10-06 22:24:59 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:wonderful show AND post-show conversation Lorna! Thanks!

2008-10-06 22:25:04 [Message] DaveC -> -EdTechTalk:Although I don't know what the fingerprinting part has to do with it...

2008-10-06 22:25:20 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk:Thanks Dean!!!!

Dean Shareski, Digital Learning Consultant from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada shares his presentation Going Global with hosts Matt Montagne, Lorna Costantini, Cindy Seibel and resident parent CIndy Zuatcke. What was interesting in the discussions is Dean's approach to the subject of children and the internet. He finds it more relevant to emphasize the positive aspects of digital tools, the need for good examples of digital citizenship and not predatprs and safety on the internet. An excellent resource for Principal, administrators,teachers and parentsStreaming difficulties appeared through out the hour webcast. The recording for this show has had numerous edits one of which is the removal of Matt Montagne. Matt's terrific comments and question could not be heard. Dean's message and ideas are still clear. Enjoy listening to the show and his presentation here . You can find Dean Shareski at his blog www.ideasandthoughts.org
