18:32:30 tomshepp -> Hi am I in time for EdTech Weekly
18:32:44 tomshepp -> Cool
18:32:56 tomshepp -> I'm too shy
18:34:48 tomshepp -> Jennifer are you working on any papers now?
18:35:41 tomshepp -> Yep
18:36:10 tomshepp -> I'm DE masters student at AU
18:36:35 tomshepp -> Athabasca University
18:37:18 JenM -> hi ... alec
18:37:33 courosa -> hey Jen
18:37:36 tomshepp -> Interaction is a big thing in DE.
18:37:36 courosa -> is it in 25?
18:38:09 JL -> yep
18:38:40 courosa -> sounds like i missed a good conversation re: openness
18:39:03 courosa -> interaction doesn't mean reading everyone
18:39:12 courosa -> it's reading what's meaningful
18:39:12 tomshepp -> More about the types of interaction and the tech you utilize.
18:39:17 JenM -> yep, alex ... I'm starting the "closed education" movement :)
18:39:31 tomshepp -> screencasting, podcasting, vidcasting, ...
18:39:52 courosa -> @Jen ... I think it started back in early the early 1900's Jen, you're a bit late for that
18:39:57 courosa -> yikes!
18:40:03 JenM -> sorry, alec ... I gave you an "x"!
18:40:22 courosa -> alex = alec as plural or posessive
18:40:34 courosa -> possessive
18:42:05 tomshepp -> Terry Anderson talks a lot about this.
18:42:16 courosa -> why do you have to call it a class or instruction, can you still call it "learning"?
18:43:08 JenM -> yep ... until people are paying $ and have "expectations" ... then things get messier
18:44:14 courosa -> it's that Canadian hum
18:53:31 courosa -> that audio is actually quite good
18:54:06 courosa -> i was just thinking that, like to hang clothes on
18:54:35 tomshepp -> Same here
18:57:11 charlie -> i feel conflicted.  wife just made tacos but all we have is Canadian beer  labatt blue
18:57:33 Gary -> In order to be truly perfect you would need to make mistakes on purpose so that the rest of the world would not be humiliated.
18:57:52 JohnS -> Drink water, Charlie. It's better than the labatt anyway.
18:58:27 charlie -> @ JohnS  you're probably right.  But i can't eat tacos without beer.  I took an oath a long time ago
18:58:39 Gary -> It is what keeps me sane.
19:00:31 JohnS -> IMHO that doesn't count as beer, so you're screwed either way.
19:01:01 tomshepp -> Kindle 2 is out but not for Canadians
19:02:10 ds -> ooooo oovoo
19:03:24 mrsdurff -> #116 - WOW!

19:06:07 mrsdurff -> hi cathy
19:06:25 Cathy E -> hi all
19:06:30 pkolenick -> Must go now, but will try again. Thx.
19:06:31 mrsdurff -> the print ones are out of date
19:06:33 courosa -> what about the concerns that schools continue to push a model that knowledge is static?
19:07:02 Alvin Trusty -> has anyone seen Professor Wikipedia on YouTube?
19:07:11 mrsdurff -> i think spending $ on out of date encyclopedias is not intelligent
19:07:37 jackiegerstein -> I agree with the rant - content really isn't static
19:07:48 mrsdurff -> he is on a roll now
19:07:53 mrsdurff -> hi jennar
19:08:02 ds -> 'don't get him started' lol

19:08:20 Jennar -> hello!
19:08:26 mrsdurff -> he does!!
19:08:32 Gary -> Can't find PEI on it.
19:08:32 ds -> JL agree might be thin edge of the wedge re wikipedia
19:08:42 courosa -> the best part of wikipedia currently has nothing to do with the content ... check out the discussion page on each post? Thats' where the action is. Arguments, controversies, and insight into how knowledge is created and negotiated.
19:08:44 JenM -> Stimulus: http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/?i=57333 ... and ... http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&... ... and ... http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/news.html#FY2009action
19:09:01 mrsdurff -> hi brmcnaboe
19:09:02 jackiegerstein -> My ratn is that many textbooks are written by a few authors with a few editors - why aren't they put under a microscope like Wikipedia is
19:09:10 bmcnaboe -> hi everyone
19:09:20 charlie -> go porkulus.  the former trader in me says buy gold and short the dollar
19:09:28 mrsdurff -> textbooks? who uses them?
19:09:29 ds -> @courosa especially like the notion of "negotiating" esp relevant to knowledge in general, and wikipedia in particular
19:09:56 JL -> https://watershed.ustream.tv/
19:10:05 jackiegerstein -> Not I - but all the other teachers at my school do - a district of 5000 students and they all use textbooks
19:10:21 mrsdurff -> hi dsantur and sroseman
19:10:41 bmcnaboe -> we use textbooks at our school except for bio (online one), and honestly i can't stand reading it onlie
19:10:43 mrsdurff -> no one wanted to tell you JL
19:10:47 tomshepp -> I listen to this podcasts all the time.  This is first time live.  Is Dave always like this?

19:11:15 ds -> @tomshepp perhaps a we bit more so today, but yes....
19:11:17 dsantur -> oovoo is cool
19:11:19 sharon -> @tomshepp yes, Jen has much editing out to do every week
19:11:33 pkolenick -> Sorry but how do I log out? My 5 year old awaits.
19:11:44 sharon -> wondering how oovoo interfaces with ustream
19:11:47 JohnS -> TeamViewer: http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx
19:11:51 mrsdurff -> i hear a  beer tab
19:11:52 tomshepp -> Interesting.  He is crazier live.

19:12:07 JL -> you can close the window or click the little door at the right
19:12:19 pkolenick -> thx.
19:12:41 courosa -> better than Yugma?
19:12:47 mrsdurff -> hi wasilt
19:12:52 mrsdurff -> hi sarah

19:13:14 Sarah S -> Yes, through  ustream.
19:13:30 wasilt -> what about taking over someone screen?
19:13:36 mrsdurff -> @wasilt - do you have sound?
19:13:43 courosa -> Couros Holdings Interational
19:13:51 wasilt -> yes I am listening Sarah S
19:13:58 dsantur -> Call it SMALL Computer hee hee

19:14:06 tomshepp -> liltop
19:14:09 wasilt -> mrsdurff - i have sound why?
19:14:24 Gary -> That will work as well as trying to call podcasts something else.
19:14:25 mrsdurff -> just asking - it's a compulsion of mine
19:14:40 mrsdurff -> i think the meds have worn off by now
19:14:50 wasilt -> Schinker- I am enjoying the Wit you made right now. What are you drinking?
19:15:08 JL -> http://www.slate.com/id/2211169/
19:15:17 JohnS -> @wasilt water
19:15:31 wasilt -> oh now that is just wrong
19:15:51 ds -> overkill?
19:15:55 courosa -> the law is not equipped for digital copies, and the influence of media on youth.
19:15:57 charlie -> this is another example of the acts of a few idiots smearing all teenagers as morons
19:16:02 mrsdurff -> hi charlie
19:16:09 dsantur -> Need more digital citizenship awareness to be taught to students.
19:16:12 charlie -> @mrs durff  hello
19:16:18 JohnS -> Why the gOS Could Now Hurt Microsoft: http://www.crn.com/software/214501600  and ASUS developing Android-based netbook: http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/02/20/asus.android.netbook/  and Strike Against Free Software: Microsoft Enters Catalonian Schools : http://www.linux-magazine.com/online/news/strike_against_free_software_m...
19:16:26 charlie -> teach digital citizenship instead of being afraid of technology
19:16:31 tomshepp -> I'm more concerned about bullying with electronic devices
19:16:34 charlie -> the internet has no eraser
19:16:36 dsantur -> know what you do will and can affect you later in life in terms of what you post and send images of
19:16:41 jackiegerstein -> I actually want to send a very strong message that naked pictures are not okay to send.
19:16:44 ds -> @charlie thanks for whacking the nail on its head
19:17:09 dsantur -> some students do not know what is appropriate.... Why is that???
19:17:11 charlie -> I'm personally scared of our building fax machine..... anyone at anytime could send something horirble through it..........
19:17:13 mrsdurff -> hi cnansen
19:17:27 ds -> if convicted they have to leave school, and never go near one again
19:17:53 wasilt -> If our generation would of have texting, the same thing would of happened.
19:18:02 tomshepp -> I teach 15 year olds.  I hear more about the bullying than naked pics
19:18:19 charlie -> part of being a teenager is not having a fully developed frontal cortex.   we had a student three years ago do this.   we didn't have her arrested...... we had to meet with the parents and ....... teaching the boys to respect women not forward the pic to all their friends
19:18:24 Alvin Trusty -> What about the person that forwards the picture... is that person guilty of something else?
19:18:29 sharon -> Most of the students I teach know better than to do this! But there are always a few in every crowd...
19:18:36 courosa -> that argument won't get them to stop smokin pot, or driving too fast, etc. ... but yea, in the Phelps generation of digital photography, we just see what we have been doing all along, with a few exceptions, technologies afford new twists on old habvits
19:18:47 dsantur -> Discussion need to occur in schools like "drugs" etc. re:  digital citizenship...
19:18:57 tomshepp -> True.  It is mostly a few but the impact can be great.
19:19:04 charlie -> in some ways you feel bad for kids that their mistakes are documented forever whereas ours were mostly forgotten
19:19:08 ds -> and the legislators need to wake up along the way -- see PA re cell phones, not the best reaction to sexting, to say the least
19:19:09 Gary -> Hmm - I wonder - spent last evening with people I graduated from high school 40 years ago.  The stories were not that different.
19:19:29 bmcnaboe -> @dsantur...digital citizenship discussions....VERY good idea
19:19:57 dsantur -> Thanks.. proactive in younger years...
19:20:21 tomshepp -> Next Ubuntu (server) is supposed to include a cloud computing emphasis.
19:20:21 ds -> @Gary and sure all glad the 'net was 'round "back in the day" that much HAS changed -- as @charlie said no eraser on 'net
19:20:45 courosa -> "fanboy" is the appropriate term
19:21:05 ds -> @Gary *not* around
19:21:14 Gary -> @ds - right - I guess we were not looking at web pages of what we did 40 years ago.
19:21:26 Alvin Trusty -> squeaky chair?
19:21:27 courosa -> Ubuntu will be the shifter, if any Linux distro
19:21:35 ds -> @Alvin lol
19:22:05 tomshepp -> Reading conflicting opinions about Windows7 on mini-notebooks.
19:22:16 dave -> http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2009/feb/19/twitter-networking...
19:22:35 mrsdurff -> who put onions in his food?
19:22:41 dsantur -> WHAT???
19:23:00 ds -> from the Luddite Institute?
19:23:04 courosa -> sounds like the "if you kiss someone in a bathing suit ..." argument
19:23:08 Gary -> It was not a good argument - the science was very weak.
19:23:13 mrsdurff -> does one's risk increase with # of followers?
19:23:13 sharon -> Have you seen this cute video? Is it Windows or KDE4? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPIgEFIv5MI
19:23:16 JenM -> EdTech discussed in Main Stream Media: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1962958416930816240&hl=en
19:23:23 tomshepp -> uh oh.  I just started with Twitter and I use Facebook.  2 strikes.
19:23:26 charlie -> people should spend time finding out what doesn't cause cancer
19:23:45 dsantur -> Couldn't be the pollution... NOOOO computers
19:23:45 ds -> @charlie another one--hope you're on Twitter
19:24:15 cnansen -> @charlie It has been proven that laboratory experiments causes cancer in rats!
19:24:30 ds -> hi Alice
19:24:39 bmcnaboe -> hi ms barr
19:24:41 Jennar -> both previous topics have a fear link- uh oh you might get cancer- uh oh you might not know how to work your OS so you better avoid the new and stay with what you know

19:25:40 dsantur -> not body part thing.. I meant to prior conversation...
19:25:58 Gary -> Teach biology for awhile - body parts are not a big thing.
19:25:59 JohnS -> Bill proposes ISPs, Wi-Fi keep logs for police: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/02/20/internet.records.bill/index.html?eref...

19:30:57 courosa -> much to be learned from this experience on how to do Internet protests well.
19:31:01 charlie -> I think Stager had an appropriate quote to apply from educon 2.1   "the worst way to do tech planning is to take teachers who have ignored technology for the last 20 years and then ask them to think about the future"   probably applies to politicians as well
