    Jenni ->I was directed here from my Maters professor,. I am currently getting my Masters
    degree in educational technology, I am a first grade teacher
    JoseRodriguez ->But not until recently after 2004 did I start to do more at least withmy
    students

    them year after year!
    Durff ->terrible
    Durff ->hi anne
    alicemercer ->Back in mid 80s when I was in school
    JoseRodriguez ->In my early days I would look for a lot of free ware to run on my
    Windows 95 computers
    Anne Leftwich ->That was me - I was started my teacher education career in 1998
    Durff ->jose likes free everything
    ds ->free is good
    Cathy E ->free is VER
    Cathy E ->Y VERY good
    Julie ->1985 = we programmed with punch cards!
    Bethany Smith ->Go FORTRAN punch cards
    Anne Leftwich ->it needs to be personally relevant - you said it Clif!
    Durff ->relevant and connect with prior knowledge
    Anne Leftwich ->Google Docs and Open Office I see as coming up quickly
    alicemercer ->Funny, I think I do better with kids than adults although I do end up giving
    PD because of what I know.
    Cathy E ->NC State?
    JoseRodriguez ->Hi CathyE
    NCiccanti ->Hello.. Is this "IT's Elementary!"
    alicemercer ->Yep! Welcome

    NCiccanti ->I apologize.. this is my first webcast.... live... i am hearing double of
    everything.. is there something i can do to shis echo in my earphones??
    Anne Leftwich ->Yes - I teach at Indiana University and we really need examples for our
    preservice teachers
    Cathy E ->My niece will be starting at NC State in the fall :)
    Anne Leftwich ->They need to see how teachers are using technology
    Bethany Smith ->Yea!
    welsh!

    NCiccanti ->hello!
    Durff ->hi
    Durff ->so are all of you in the same class?
    ldibattista ->our prof
    ldibattista ->yes-web class
    Cathy E ->@Behany do you work with Criss Crissman?
    Durff ->and who is your prof?
    Anne Leftwich ->The biggest problem with our preservice teachers is that they have
    never seen technology being used by their own teachers in their K-12 eperience
    NCiccanti ->i do agree with that
    Anne Leftwich ->Michael Welsh video? Anyone have the link?
    Bethany Smith ->@ Cathy e - i love cris - she is awesome!!
    Durff ->it's on youtube anne
    alicemercer ->http://www.youtube.com/user/mwesch
    Anne Leftwich ->thanx
    Durff ->see?
    Anne Leftwich ->Yup - thank you!
    Durff ->i don't even try after a while
    Anne Leftwich ->Most of the time - we're in a large lecture type course
    NCiccanti ->thank you sheila
    Durff ->also one at uni of manitoba
    agapejen ->I graduated in '01 with my undergrad degree...we had to type a letter in word,
    do a powerpoint, and something else incredibly easy. I didn't attend classes other than
    when we had to turn something in. This was our education technology class.
    Durff ->and you were paying for that?
    Anne Leftwich ->Again, the most important thing is to show them good examples!
    sheila ->NCiccanti 0;)
    Anne Leftwich ->Like all of you folks!
    agapejen ->@Durff yeah, it was really bad
    Anne Leftwich ->Agapejen, mine was similar
    Durff ->i am still fuzzy on where you are all from
    agapejen ->Northeastern PA
    Durff ->in whose class?
    Anne Leftwich ->I graduated in '02 and we had to do a PPT, build a brief webpage, kid
    pix, mostly like students
    NCiccanti ->i live in south park, pa... attending grad school at california univ of pa
    alicemercer ->U of Pacfic?
    alicemercer ->pacific?
    agapejen ->Did my bachelor at Millersville and my Master's at Hopkins.
    Durff ->california uni of pa
    ldibattista ->I live in Belle Vernon, PA...attend grad school at california univ of pa
    NCiccanti ->yes
    Durff ->and who is the prof
    NCiccanti ->Pennsylvania
    NCiccanti ->Dr. Christine Peterson
    ldibattista ->peterson
    Durff ->i see
    Anne Leftwich ->And it rarely turns out as "project-based learning"
    Durff ->well so glad you are all here
    ldibattista ->thnks
    NCiccanti ->thnk you
    Durff ->cacophony?
    Anne Leftwich ->We teach one of our technology courses as problem-based learning
    Durff ->i truly mercer word
    NCiccanti ->We are all talking about getting technology into the classroom?? Are we
    discussing problems or offering suggestions to teachers??
    Julie ->PBL - tough if you don't own the classroom you're in (i.e. student teaching)g
    Durff ->but there is more passion for doing it right
    Anne Leftwich ->They have to create a job portfolio to get hired for our local New
    Technology High School
    Bethany Smith ->It is the pedagogy not the technology
    agapejen ->I had to do an online portfolio to finish my master's degree...that was our final
    course...in place of a thesis
    Durff ->so you all are with http://workforce.cup.edu/peterson/ ?
    NCiccanti ->yes
    Durff ->cool
    NCiccanti ->well.. i think
    NCiccanti ->lol
    NCiccanti ->Larissa and I are
    Durff ->so was this an assignment?
    Bethany Smith ->The noise is hard
    NCiccanti ->we are learning how to integrate technology into our classrooms
    NCiccanti ->participating into this edtechtalk live is showing us ways to use technology,
    etc
    JoseRodriguez ->@bethany the noise?
    NCiccanti ->it is an assignment for our grad class
    Anne Leftwich -
    >http://mypage.iu.edu/~mawoodwo/myportfolio/W210%20Site/Pages/W210_Home.html
    Durff ->well then i give you an 'A'
    Bethany Smith ->Sorry - teachers have problems with the noise :)
    NCiccanti ->omg... thank you lol
    sheila ->I think time is a factor for PBL; esp. if you have to teach the tool too.
    Anne Leftwich ->That was an example our one of my students' final portfolio
    JoseRodriguez ->I see noise in the classroom, right?
    NCiccanti ->are we offering any suggestions or is this about something specific????
    Durff ->"3 before me"
    Durff ->it's a rule
    NCiccanti ->i am sorry... I am trying to read everything and listen.... it seems to be about
    a coule of things...
    NCiccanti ->couple*
    Durff ->it's ok i never get it all
    Durff ->hi julie
    NCiccanti ->hello all
    Anne Leftwich ->Go clif!
    NCiccanti ->good suggestion clif
    ldibattista ->I agree!
    Anne Leftwich ->Hi Julie!
    Julie Moore ->Hi - sorry - got kicked off a minute ago
    JoseRodriguez ->field service... with real teachers and real students what an innovative
    idea..:-)
    NCiccanti ->is there a way that univ supervisors can OBSERVE their teachers that they
    choose (or schools choose) to be cooperating teachers?? before they start placing stdt
    tchrs
    Anne Leftwich ->You can do it via video conferencing
    Anne Leftwich ->IU does that
    Durff ->someone tie that dog up
    Anne Leftwich ->:)
    JoseRodriguez ->A Ning?
    NCiccanti ->perhaps being more selective w/ coops is important.. that way student
    teachers are with a teacher that uses technology
    Julie Moore ->Yes! Yes! yes!
    alicemercer ->Lisa, maybe it is tied up, that makes them barky
    NCiccanti ->how do we do that??
    alicemercer ->miz mercer on skype, send a text, and I'll add you
    alicemercer ->Are you on skype?
    alicemercer ->Look for miz mercer
    ldibattista ->I just did my st. teaching 6 years ago and didn't have to take any tech classes
    and didn't integrate any tech in my classes i taught
    NCiccanti ->whats skype
    alicemercer ->do add contact and search for me
    NCiccanti ->how do you add contact? i dont see that option
    Cathy E ->@Bethany - do you work with middle school teachers too
    NCiccanti ->do you know how larissa?
    agapejen ->lucky you!

    NCiccanti ->dr p said about hour and half or so
    ldibattista ->seriously
    alicemercer ->Oh man, you still don't have skype.

    ldibattista ->can we listen to this again?
    Anne Leftwich ->;)
    betchaboy ->hi lisa
    NCiccanti ->no idea
    NCiccanti ->i think so
    JoseRodriguez ->It will be posted as a podcast
    Durff ->yes ldib
    NCiccanti ->it took me 15 min to log in...
    ldibattista ->thanks
    Cathy E ->I hate it when a teacher's excuse is "nobody has taught me how to do that"
    Durff ->it will be a podcast
    alicemercer ->Okay, we can do this when I'm off air.
    NCiccanti ->it did ask me for a password though when it wasn't supposed to
    Durff ->give us 72 hours to post it
    Julie Moore ->I have a friend who asks herslef, "who's doing the math?" If it's the
    teacher, not the student, then something's wrong.
    Durff ->they don't have skype?
    NCiccanti ->THANK YOU !!
    alicemercer ->We can chat here, you can d/l skype.
    Durff ->i don't have a landline
    NCiccanti ->or we can just stay here
    ldibattista ->we're preservice to technology
    NCiccanti ->:)
    NCiccanti ->yes
    NCiccanti ->not preservice
    alicemercer ->Go to skype.com and get the appropriate version for your computer
    NCiccanti ->are you doing that larissa
    Anne Leftwich ->We were just forced to change ours
    Durff ->it leads you through it
    sheila ->skype is a program you need to download, then you can talk on the internet
    Julie Moore ->Have you seen the new ISTE Standards for Teachers?
    Durff ->but don't do it noe
    Durff ->now
    alicemercer ->You don't have to BUY anything, we will be talking skype to skype which
    is free
    JoseRodriguez ->Do you have a link Julie?
    alicemercer ->Julie wanna chat about it?
    NCiccanti ->yes i did julie i did
    Anne Leftwich ->We're currently redesigning our 3 credit hour, large lecture/small lab
    course
    Cathy E ->OK- tomorrow night on Making Connections we are going to talk about what
    teachers need
    Durff ->downloading may be too much for your system
    NCiccanti ->we use WIKI
    Julie Moore ->Alice - I haven't looked at it closely enough to be too conversant, but I
    think it can help us make some of those "what do we teach" decisions
    alicemercer ->Well, cathy's show is a great place to talk about it.
    Julie Moore ->I like that they are less "checkboxy than before"
    agapejen ->durff time ;) nice
    mrsd ->yup durfftime3
    alicemercer ->Okay, so students needing skype, down load it, then contact me on twitter
    at alicemercer and we will come back here.
    Bethany Smith ->Cathy E - I can't believe we haven't connected before
    mrsd ->that=EDT
    alicemercer ->Do you want to join Cathy E's show tomorrow for your skype experience?
    NCiccanti ->larissa.. i am staying here
    Bethany Smith ->i think edt should be durff time from now on
    JoseRodriguez ->Twitter and micro-blogging is the bomb
    mrsd ->:)
    Cathy E ->Love to have everybody
    alicemercer ->We'll Jose and I are Second Life time
    alicemercer ->Nciaccanti are you getting skype now?
    Bethany Smith ->@alice - i have plans - but let me see what i can do
    ldibattista ->ok, i just downloaded skype-i think
    Cathy E ->same time same place - uesday
    NCiccanti ->no
    ds ->me too re SL time == @Durff time -3
    alicemercer ->Can you listen to Cathy E's show tomorrow?
    NCiccanti ->someone said not to do that now
    Anne Leftwich ->Skill-Building Tool, Presentation Tool, Personal Tool, Communication
    Tool , Content-Exploration Tool , Data Collection-Analysis Tool , Assessment Tool
    Anne Leftwich ->These are the categories that we are teaching our preservice teachers
    ldibattista ->ok
    Durff ->skype website
    http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/?cm_mmc=google%2Flatsearch-_-NA-
    US%7CEN-_-BD-_-kwid%3D200004894%7Ccreative%3D1230313166%7C-
    %7C100000000000000036571
    alicemercer ->Lisa, she is right, so d/l it off line, and then join Cathy's show tomorrow
    betchaboy ->Don't you think though, that twitter can be a really overwhelming start point
    for noobs?
    Durff ->yes
    Bethany Smith ->great list anne
    Durff ->ning is better
    Durff ->hi techteacher
    Anne Leftwich ->Since teachers will typically say - I want to do this with my students,
    like presentations, then a technology coordinator can help direct them to different types
    of technology
    ds ->@betchaboy no question re twitter and potential for o.whelming newcomers
    JoseRodriguez ->web-based office is a cool way to go and embed
    agapejen ->lol...yeah...that was him
    Durff ->use ustream and invite me anne
    Anne Leftwich ->So for Presentation tool, they can use PPT, Google Docs, Google
    Presentations, KidPix, Oral presentations, etc...
    agapejen ->right...the toolbelt!
    Anne Leftwich ->I'm excited about this approach
    Anne Leftwich ->We need to also get preservice teachers to explore
    ds ->makes sense--a "hammer" is a hammer
    Julie Moore ->It needs to be about genre, not specific tools - they will change.
    Anne Leftwich ->Life long learners
    JoseRodriguez ->Keep your twitter list low at the begining not to overwhelm yous
    betchaboy ->agree... delicious is a great start point
    Anne Leftwich ->THE TECHNOLOGY WILL KEEP CHANGING!
    agapejen ->teach them the types of tools and what they could do...and let them create
    their own "toolbelt"
    NCiccanti ->i tried to click skype link and it kicked me out of this chat room
    Anne Leftwich ->I like the idea of a tool belt
    Durff ->i love that keychain
    ds ->Twitter Packs help with initial "twitter shock"
    Anne Leftwich ->Or the teaching toolbox
    Cathy E ->yes, yes- always something new to try
    NCiccanti ->larissa...... did it work for you?
    techteacher ->I have twittered for 6 months and still have only 70 people, add about 10
    per month
    agapejen ->Ira Socol discusses it for people with special needs...but I think it would be
    appropriate for pre-service and teachers
    ldibattista ->no
    NCiccanti ->ok
    Cathy E ->does anyone have the key chain template? I want it PLEASE
    techteacher ->The progression helps you figure out who is really worth adding
    agapejen ->lol...and the bright colors!
    ds ->still tech Alice, :)
    techteacher ->tech is universal design, isn't it?
    betchaboy ->following nearly 500 now on twitter... use of twitter it changes as it grows
    agapejen ->not in itself
    Durff ->the keychain http://flickr.com/photos/78154370@N00/2620023239/
    agapejen ->but if it is used appropriately...it sure helps achieve udl
    Julie Moore ->I feel the most important thing I teach in my classes is "Fearless Curiosity"
    - the tools will change ... if they walk out with that attitude, then they are ready for what's
    to come.
    Anne Leftwich ->Think about a virtual one for our preservice teachers
    Anne Leftwich ->Interesting...
    Anne Leftwich ->They can collect all and win
    Anne Leftwich ->Like Girl Scout badges ;)
    Jenni ->What are some websites you suggest for these teachers?
    ds ->tech is a tool -- Jose's example of the social vs tech in his recent PD right on
    mrsd ->:)
    techteacher ->diigo! or deliscious
    techteacher ->stop consuming and start storing
    Anne Leftwich ->They need to have the ability to search and create their own toolbox
    agapejen ->with people
    Anne Leftwich ->But continue to do this
    Anne Leftwich ->PD really needs to be a daily thing
    agapejen ->and meet them where they are at
    Anne Leftwich ->Just like what we are doing
    Anne Leftwich ->By listening to EdTechTalk and the Other World Bridges
    Anne Leftwich ->and commenting on our blogs
    NCiccanti ->what is on this key ring??
    techteacher ->focus on instilling the value that they will not sop being a learner when
    they graduate and get a classroom.
    JoseRodriguez ->I like Flip Charts and something I can have handy when I am teaching
    NCiccanti ->is it websites for teachers to use?
    techteacher ->flip charts are huge where I teach
    Julie Moore ->Yeah - we're just not used to doing that Post-conference stuff yet :)
    ds ->PD is the network--newcomers need help navigating entry to the various 'spheres
    and 'verses
    Anne Leftwich ->It's so hard to do things on a weekly basis
    Julie Moore ->Communities of practice
    etalbert ->Purpose and pedagogy can guide to product. Sooo many choices!
    Anne Leftwich ->I think we really need a good community of practice that allows
    preservice teachers to continue on after their teacher education program
    NCiccanti ->i keep getting kicked out
    ldibattista ->what is a good balance of tech and non tech usage in the classroom on a
    daily basis?-any suggestions?
    Julie Moore ->Anne - that's the stuff I'm working on - just not specific to technology, but
    using tech to do just that
    Anne Leftwich ->I use iGoogle
    betchaboy ->these days you need to use the online communities to create your own
    communities of practise
    Anne Leftwich ->It's fantastic - draw in the RSS feed so you are forced to encounter it
    daily on your webpage
    betchaboy ->I don't believe there is a "place to go"... you need to create your own
    Anne Leftwich ->I require my preservice teachers to have an iGoogle page
    agapejen ->interesting anne
    Anne Leftwich ->They draw in various feeds to keep themselves up to date
    Cathy E ->That is why I do staff dev every week
    Durff ->iGoogle preferred over Pageflakes?
    betchaboy ->it's all good
    Anne Leftwich ->Google is something they are more familiar with
    alicemercer ->http://mercertraining.edublogs.org/
    Julie Moore ->That is interesting - I've had them to opml files before, but iGoogle might
    be a better option
    etalbert ->Preservice teachers - how to provide practical experiences in learning 2.0
    practices?
    Anne Leftwich ->Plus, with a Google account, they can use google pages to make a web
    page
    ds ->@Anne they also have de facto access to a growing number of powerful tools
    betchaboy ->I like iGoogle cause it integrates with all the other Google stuff
    Anne Leftwich ->and use google docs & spreadsheets
    ds ->via iGoogle, that is
    Anne Leftwich ->Exactly betchaboy
    ds ->'xactly indeed!
    agapejen ->i use google pages a lot...i have shown that to many people
    Anne Leftwich ->I like to make it as simple as possible
    Anne Leftwich ->They LOVE iGoogle
    techteacher ->once in google, there is so much you can do with it, and it seems people are
    very comfortable with google
    Durff ->iGoogle does have a ping.fm thing
    Anne Leftwich ->They have all these different tabs
    Durff ->and a twitter thing
    techteacher ->kind of like the gate way drug,
    etalbert ->The point about content blocking is V important. Risk v benefit is the key.
    Anne Leftwich ->Exactly!
    techteacher ->first iGoogle
    Anne Leftwich ->I do, but I'm on wireless
    techteacher ->then readers and notebooks
    betchaboy ->understanding RSS is important if teachers are ever going to learn to "drink
    from the firehose"
    techteacher ->then a blog
    Anne Leftwich ->I'm afraid that it will be so crummy
    techteacher ->or docs
    techteacher ->the lsit goes on
    ds ->once they see how a form populated a Google spreadsheet, that will be it
    NCiccanti ->what are the key rings?
    Julie Moore ->Thanks all -- this was my first edtechtalk - appreciate the opportunity to
    join yall
    NCiccanti ->was there an answer?
    etalbert ->google reader is the best!
    Anne Leftwich ->I would love to chat any other time
    betchaboy ->How does one contribute via voice rather than chat?
    agapejen ->the key rings had different sites (ning, twitter, etc) and then who they could
    contact to learn about then NCiccanti
    Cathy E ->@ Julie- please join us again
    ds ->@betchaboy via skype
    NCiccanti ->i got kicked out AGAIN with no audio this time
    NCiccanti ->thanks agape
    agapejen ->no problem
    betchaboy ->skype to what address?
    etalbert ->I would love to see the key ring. I plan to have a go at this too. Lowtech
    inspiration!
    ds ->depends on host

    a student at necc said that it's important to not use tech just to use it...but where it will
    support the learning
    Cathy E ->how much computer access
    NCiccanti ->think it also depends on the availability of computers, etc in your classroom
    ldibattista ->6 computers in my classroom and also a mobile lab
    JoseRodriguez ->is skype conference over?
    Durff ->yes
    Durff ->you missed it
    Cathy E ->are you comfortable with the technology
    NCiccanti ->i would assume computers should be used whenever time permits... perhaps
    in "center time" or during reading/writing... or if using it for a specific subject and/or unit
    Durff ->so hw people: download skype
    ds ->visit us at http://webcastacademy.net and we'd be happy to get anyone
    Durff ->and return here tomorrow at the same time
    ds ->connected, if we can
    Durff ->to be in Making Connections
    Cathy E ->my feeling is the more you integrate technology the more you teaching 2
    things at once
    ldibattista ->to a certain point- i don't know how to create my own personal webpage, but
    i'm not clueless about tech either-i'm learning still
    Durff ->first one there wins
    NCiccanti ->me 2
    alicemercer ->Creating a webpage is so "automated" now.
    ds ->gotta run folks, look fwd to seeing you all again soon!
    Durff ->we will help
    NCiccanti ->my last school didnt perit me to have webpage
    alicemercer ->So that is not important
    NCiccanti ->permit*
    Durff ->bye doug
    NCiccanti ->i guess it also depends on the district
    Cathy E ->my teachers are REQUIRED to have a webpage
    alicemercer ->Ugh, that sucks Nciccanti
