21:13Peggy George: Hi monika! Great to see you!
21:13monika: likewise Peggy
21:15karen (@kfasimpaur): True, "connected" is more than just being online.
21:15Peggy George: absolutely Karen!!
21:15karen (@kfasimpaur):collaboration....openness... what else?
21:16Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Connected to me does refer more to utilizing the connections for the joy of having resources
21:16karen (@kfasimpaur): re: Youth Voices, our friend Areeg has a new post up about Egypt:http://youthvoices.net/discussion/egypt-bloodshed [30]
21:17karen (@kfasimpaur): @MsB Joy...I like that.
21:17Peggy George: I really liked all 3 panels yesterday in the kickoff sessions for CEM! One was called From Connection to Collaboration and it was excellent.
21:17Peggy George: Tom Carroll, Kecia Ray, Mark Prensky, Connie Yowell, and Yong Zhao, Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach
21:17Sheri Edwards: I looked for the archives Peggy -- will they be?
21:17karen (@kfasimpaur): I missed that one. WIll have to catch the archive
21:18Chris Sloan: I took a class from Yong Zhao. Love that guy
21:18karen (@kfasimpaur): Archive page for CEM http://connectededucators.org/cem/cem-archives/ [31] seems to have an erroe
21:19Peggy George: me too Chris. He was great and there was tons of interaction in the chat room
21:19karen (@kfasimpaur): Usually take them a few days to get them posted
21:19Peggy George: don't think the recordings are posted yet
21:19Peggy George: yes
21:19Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline:http://connectededucators.org/events/ [32] Other Connected Educator events can be found here
21:20Peggy George: 3 Arizonans tonight!! :-)
21:21karen (@kfasimpaur): We did DS106 type photo challenges with little kids here too
21:21Peggy George: love your tweets for tonight's show Valeria! :-)
21:21monika: chaordic-ness. whimsy. yes.
21:22karen (@kfasimpaur): Links in the doc to the right as well
21:22Peggy George: that's so exciting to hear Alan talking about this project!
21:22Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: It is because it is really fun to play with the cards
21:23Peggy George: the photos really give yo something to write/tell stories about :-)
21:23karen (@kfasimpaur): We did a 5 card stud writing activity in writing project this summer that was awesome (diff from this though)
21:24Peggy George: I didn't know that idea started with Scott. :-) I heard Wes Fryer present about it and write about it
21:27karen (@kfasimpaur): I wonder how many teachers think about having their own online space and/or domain
21:27karen (@kfasimpaur): I'm thinking not many
21:28Peggy George: Sheri--you NEED to be a featured teacher on Classroom 2.0 LIVE!!! You have so many awesome things to share!!
21:29Peggy George: Karen did you blog about the 5 card stud writing activity? really sounds wonderful!!
21:29Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Karen, that sounds crazy to me.
21:29Sheri Edwards: Thanks, Peggy
21:30Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: I always want to share everything online
21:30karen (@kfasimpaur): I didn't but I should. It was awesome (credit Chris Burnham)
21:33Peggy George: great point! it's not an option to NOT do it but there can be lots of ways to get there...
21:35karen (@kfasimpaur): Here's a link to the 5-card stud writing thing:https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxid3AyMDEzc3VtbWVyaW5zdGl0dXRlfGd4Ojc0YzliODMwMjMyMTEzMjE [26]
21:35karen (@kfasimpaur): It started with a guided meditation, which was awesome in and of itself, as a writing exercise
21:36monika: future platform in your head.. ness. multiple web communities..
21:36Peggy George: is there a limit to how much Youth Voices can grow?
21:36Peggy George: thanks Karen!!
21:36karen (@kfasimpaur): technical limit? support limit? not that I know of
21:37Peggy George: both which might impact how many classes/teachers/students can get involved
21:37Peggy George: can the platform manage unlimited numbers of students?
21:37karen (@kfasimpaur): my sense is that there isn't a practical limit looming
21:38Christina: I like "positive personal space" ...
21:38karen (@kfasimpaur): The platform isn't limited to a number of users...there are practical bandwidth consideration I suppose
21:38Chris Sloan:http://youthvoices.net/discussion/how-should-you-react-when-coming-across-bear [34]
21:38Christina: and it make me think that Youth Voices is a "positive community space"
21:38Peggy George: yes with increased numbers means lots more interaction
21:39karen (@kfasimpaur): Where to post things -- that's a big issue for me.
21:39Peggy George: eager to read that Chris. I recently watched the movie about the young people that lost their lives to bears in Glacier Park (my old home town area)
21:41Peggy George: "Glacier Park's Night of the Grizzlies"
21:42Peggy George: where to post things is a frequent issue for me--with so much openness and encouragement for participation it's hard to get a conversation going. During a Hangout people are tweeting to different hashtags, commenting on youtube, commenting on G+, etc.
21:44Chris Sloan: @Peggy, kind of what I mean by "shouts in a crowd." when my students tweet and post without having much conversation around those things. Or scattered conversations that lose power with a dispersion
21:44Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Good comment, learning new ways to do things
21:45Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Sharing allows us to grow and learn
21:45Christina: Paul -- did you get an email about badges tonight?
21:46Peggy George: I totally agree about the value of these sessions/conversations! They should receive PD/CE credits if they want/need them
21:47karen (@kfasimpaur): I like what Jo is saying. Equity doesn't mean everyone has to have the exact same thing.
21:47Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: I was told to leave my computer/iPad in the classroom for today's PD. It blew my mind because I was trying to figure out how I was supposed to take notes. .... Pen and Paper?? What!!!!
21:48monika: audrey -http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/10/students-are-hacking-their-school-issued-ipads-good-for-them/280196/ [37]
21:48Peggy George: exactly!!! According to Thomas Jefferson “There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.”
21:48Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Why would I just take notes on paper when I could do it digitally to share with other educators, or schools, or the district. For me if there is something worth writing down, I feel that it is worth sharing.
21:48Peggy George: oh no Valerie!!
21:49monika: @Chris @Peggy - the web wants to connect us better..
21:49Christina: Love this article from Audrey Watters:http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/10/students-are-hacking-their-school-issued-ipads-good-for-them/280196/ [37]
21:49Christina: "good for them"
21:49monika: and spot on .. we unleash the kids.. we don't have to do it
21:49Sheri Edwards: Agree and good point, Valerie
21:49Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: I had to tell a teacher that I had an Individual Educational Plan that called for me to use technology to record information.
21:49Christina: jinks monika!
21:49Peggy George: :-) Monika
21:52Peggy George: Love Audrey Watters! She and Steve Hargadon are co-keynoters for the Open Learning strand in the K12 Online Conference. http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=1242 [38]
21:53Peggy George: love that story!!
21:54Peggy George: good problem solving Valerie! better than what you had!
21:56Peggy George: just heard a really sad story by an amazing educator friend who wrote yesterday that she QUIT! She was a tech facilitator for 1:1 initiative and everything was being blocked by the administration and it conflicted too deeply with her values & priorities for kids using the tools that she couldn't in good conscience continue.
21:56Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Oh no Peggy
21:56karen (@kfasimpaur): I've seen some very good teachers leave formal teaching in the last year or so
21:57Peggy George: very rare for someone being able to/willing to take a stand like that!
21:57Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: That is so heart breaking
21:57karen (@kfasimpaur): There are other opportunities though in informal spaces?
21:57Peggy George: me too Karen!
21:57karen (@kfasimpaur): like you and I Peggy (informal spaces)
21:57Peggy George: yes other opportunities but what about the kids she's leaving behind??
21:57karen (@kfasimpaur): They need informal spaces too
21:58Peggy George: so many kids are missing out on meaning education because of these kinds of decisions
21:58Peggy George: meaningful
21:58karen (@kfasimpaur): yes...and not because of good teachers leaving
21:59Alan (@cogdog): We have a culture in ds106 of failing in public
21:59karen (@kfasimpaur): #clmooc too... we love failing :)
21:59Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Ahh @Alan Failure is Learning though
21:59Christina: @karen she needs a name ...
21:59Peggy George: would love to hear you say more about that Alan!
21:59Christina: Paula?
22:00Alan (@cogdog): @peggy see all the typos in my blog ;-)
22:00Christina: @Alan ... yes, that requires practice too!
22:00monika: thanks guys..
22:00Peggy George: :-)
22:00Christina: Well, failing is not so hard. Embracing it .. harder.
22:00Peggy George: autocorrect doesn't help either!!!
22:00Christina: Hi Peggy!
22:00Peggy George: Hi Christina :-)
22:01Christina: life long kindergarten!
22:02Peggy George: so cute!!!
22:03Peggy George: there certainly is a lot we can learn from Kindergarten!
22:03Peggy George: can you share the link she shared in the Hangout to her website?
22:03Peggy George: see it in the Titanpad now :-) thanks
22:03karen (@kfasimpaur): Jo's class web site -https://sites.google.com/site/paraisoenglishclass [39]
22:03karen (@kfasimpaur): And everyone is invited to all of our October TTT Connected Educator month shows.
22:04karen (@kfasimpaur): Next week is openness as Paul said.
22:04Peggy George: Karen what an incredible multi-tasker!!!
22:04Peggy George: thanks Val!
22:04Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Hope that wasn't private Chris
22:04Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Sorry
22:04karen (@kfasimpaur): Oct. 16 is teacher voice
22:05Christina: Just catching up with your story @Peggy ...
22:05karen (@kfasimpaur): Oct. 23 is informal opt-in shows, etc. - podcasting and beyond
22:05Peggy George: gee whiz!! so many awesome things happening! I started this session with 210 tabs open and now I have 220!!
22:05Peggy George: really looking forward to Oct. 23rd :-)
22:05karen (@kfasimpaur): Every school district needs someone like Sheri!
22:05Peggy George: absolutely!!!!
22:07karen (@kfasimpaur): It's the fear vs. trust issue that pervades everything...
22:07Peggy George: last week in a podcast, Kevin Honeycutt said if teachers are "waiting" to get on board with engaging students, openness, technology and connected learning it means that the students HAVE to wait. So true!
22:07Peggy George: trust is definitely something we can learn from the Finland model!
22:08Valerie Burton @MsBisOnline: Night and Thanks
22:08karen (@kfasimpaur): Great hour. Thanks all! Hope to see you next week.
22:08Christina: night all!
22:09Peggy George: thanks everyone for another great conversation!
22:09Peggy George: good night!
