19:41:59 alicebarr (seedlings) : http://www.pewinternet.org/Presentations/2008/Digital-Footprints.aspx
19:42:11 alicebarr (seedlings) : Hi Kim
19:42:57 Leeanne_HK : Interesting about dates - traditionally research 5 years old isn't old -- unless you're in technology!
19:43:06 cheryloakes~seedlings : hi lou, welcome
19:43:27 alicebarr (seedlings) : True Leeanne
19:43:57 cheryloakes~seedlings : absolutely leeanne, certainly this is very new for many educators
19:44:10 alicebarr (seedlings) : How many people have ditched their land line here?
19:44:27 cheryloakes~seedlings : we are thinking about it alice
19:44:29 Shane Morin : 5 years ago most of us probably had never heard of facebook
19:44:37 Shane Morin : it was only 4 years ago it started becoming big
19:44:39 cheryloakes~seedlings : true shane,
19:45:17 alicebarr (seedlings) : @Shane true wonderwhat's next?
19:45:42 Leeanne_HK : many friends in HK only have mobiles - even though landline calls are free and rent for line is cheap
19:46:23 alicebarr (seedlings) : @Leeanne Interesting. Not quite ready to give mine up yet
19:46:29 cheryloakes~seedlings : isn't that interesting Leeanne, do they do more than call, like internet search?
19:47:08 Leeanne_HK : me neither - mainly a cost thing - would like the convenience of only having 1 no to contact me
19:47:30 cheryloakes~seedlings : hello davidcosand
19:47:35 Leeanne_HK : @cheryl - internet access is through different provider - not phone company
19:47:55 davidcosand : Hello cheryloakes

19:59:43 cheryloakes~seedlings : thanks Shelia, alice had mentioned that, let's hope it is moving less than 30 miles an hour.
20:00:07 Shane Morin : i can definitely see that where i'm student teaching right now... kids don't even have computers at home so it's just unfair to expect any type of work being done online outside of the classroom
20:00:22 Shane Morin : and they just fall furhter behind
20:00:25 alicebarr (seedlings) : Super dark on horizon :( Thanks Sheila
20:00:33 cheryloakes~seedlings : shane do they have cell phones where they could do some online work?

20:01:09 cheryloakes~seedlings : Have any of you heard of Techsoup?
20:01:20 Shane Morin : i havent
20:01:23 LParisi : Have to head out. Will catch the rest on the podcast. Thanks for the learning.
20:01:40 alicebarr (seedlings) : Bye Lisa
20:01:42 cheryloakes~seedlings : That may be one way they can connect with their cell phone Liz Kolb has much work on that possibility
20:01:48 cheryloakes~seedlings : bye lisa
20:01:49 Cathy E : Some of the families at my school have cancelled Internet access due to current finances
20:02:06 cheryloakes~seedlings : sure CathyE, I think we will see that soon.
20:02:13 alicebarr (seedlings) : Oh Wow Cathy E
20:02:36 Shane Morin : i'm definitely amazed at some of these kids who have iphones but no computer at home
20:03:58 alicebarr (seedlings) : @Shane computer in their pocket
20:04:32 Shane Morin : unfortunately i'm not too familiar with phones
20:04:38 Leeanne_HK : gotta go put daughter on school bus -- back soon
