2008-06-18 13:00:29 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: I like that it is broadcast live during the day...
2008-06-18 13:00:36 [Message] aarongrill -> -EdTechTalk: smartboard users for sure
2008-06-18 13:01:19 [Message] aarongrill -> -EdTechTalk: nycist smartboard trainers will hopefully take off to get some guests
2008-06-18 13:01:47 [Message] aarongrill -> -EdTechTalk: Can there be a screen sharing app so people can demo?
2008-06-18 13:02:05 [Message] alex.ragone -> -EdTechTalk: Yes --
2008-06-18 13:02:26 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: That would be hugely useful for us. We're putting in 136 smartboards this summer.
2008-06-18 13:02:55 [Message] alex.ragone -> -EdTechTalk: That's the difference between a district and an Independent school.
2008-06-18 13:03:05 [Message] aarongrill -> -EdTechTalk: wow. 136
2008-06-18 13:03:15 [Message] aarongrill -> -EdTechTalk: scale is crazy
2008-06-18 13:03:16 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: God help us.
2008-06-18 13:03:29 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: @john hopefuly they're not 680is!!!!!
2008-06-18 13:03:57 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: Mostly the regular 680s. But one building has 680is.
2008-06-18 13:04:27 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: It was the sloped, prefab concrete ceilings that prevented the traditional approach there. Installation was going to be prohibitive.
2008-06-18 13:04:29 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: @John...Yikes...me experience with those has not been good...the only thing worse than the video is the audio!!!
2008-06-18 13:04:47 [Message] aarongrill -> -EdTechTalk: it would be cool to get a lawyer too to talk about fair use and copyright... but that usually costs $$$
2008-06-18 13:05:12 [Message] alex.ragone -> -EdTechTalk: @aarongrill -- definitely.
2008-06-18 13:05:39 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: What are your goals for this summer. Anything big you want to accomplish on a professional level before everything gets crazy again?
2008-06-18 13:05:51 [Message] alex.ragone -> -EdTechTalk: We're going to organize a working group on that here this summer.
2008-06-18 13:06:44 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: No eeepc or ipod touch?
2008-06-18 13:06:56 [Message] aarongrill -> -EdTechTalk: I'm moving our school to the cloud. Hopeing it work out like I imagine
2008-06-18 13:06:57 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: will we see apple blend the touch capabilities of their iPhone/iTouch with a notebook??
2008-06-18 13:07:16 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: Not at a reasonable price point, matt.
2008-06-18 13:07:51 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: @john ... true dat ...
2008-06-18 13:08:46 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: looking forward to the exchange functionality on iPhone...should b nice...
2008-06-18 13:09:02 [Message] aarongrill -> -EdTechTalk: who's getting the iphone 3G?
2008-06-18 13:10:02 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: Interesting legal aspect there regarding privacy.
2008-06-18 13:10:29 [Message] JohnS -> -EdTechTalk: If you have a file on your home computer, and the government wants to see it, they need a search warrant. If it's on Google Docs, they only need a subpoena.
2008-06-18 13:10:41 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: globabl collaboration creates the necessity for working on the cloud and using free/easily accessible tools...
