Women of Web Show # 24 April 24, 2007, with guest Steve Dembo
Join Cheryl and Sharon as we interview Steve Dembo!
Sharon's Questions:
- What does Discovery Educator Network offer teachers?
- How many members in that network?
- Can you describe the DEN relationship with United Streaming? Is there anything like it for free or lower cost for those in a public school setting without the resources for US?
- Recently (yesterday?) you blogged about your thoughts on Bud the Teacher's question about identity with big orgs for teacher networking for validity (i.e. DEN, Google Academy, Yahoo) - and I thought your observations were interesting - as were the responses - could we throw that question out here and talk a bit about it? It is an interesting phenomenon and one worth exploring....
Tough Questions:
What does DEN have to offer international educators? Being in Quebec, in an isolated subgroup of a minority language, teachers in the English public and private schools do not have those kinds of opportunities available to us (DEN, Google Academy, etc.); are there plans for Discovery to go beyond the American borders? What could you offer Canadians or others?
Cheryl's questions:
1. I noticed a bio about you : Steve
Dembo worked as a Kindergarten teacher for 4 years. Unfortunately,
during that time someone discovered that he knew how to fix a printer.
It wasn’t long after that he became the Director of Technology for the
school. from Lexthink.com
It seems that this is an example of a 21st century mantra, "Be ready to re-invent yourself!"
What kinds of skills, characteristics, traits help you with the constant re-inventing?
2. Your involvement in the k12 online conference:
http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=70
Mobile Learning Redefined
When I first read and listened to your presentation, I really had a
hard time wrapping my brain around this type of use as an instructional
tool. (Even though I spent 6 weeks becoming a webhead and saw how
people worldwide are using all kinds of technology tools). However, 6
months later, I am seeing this type of instruction oromoted in the
Horizon Project report, coming out in journals, and evidenced these
options by watching students. Can you explain to listeners how this
tool, mobile phones, wireless game stations, and blue tooth
technologies are impacting this digital native?
3.
Do you have any thoughts on bringing more people along to use web
tools? Last week we had doctoral students on and they discussed their
support systems and the requirements they needed for course work. Once
people are nudged most seem to embrace. What else can we do to bring
people along?

alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Or something else?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: no, wisdom
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: thanks sue....
sroseman -> EdTechTalk: oops
sroseman -> EdTechTalk: one moment
JohnPederson -> EdTechTalk: :o) true
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Connections are difficult, e.g. classroom. ning discussion?
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: I agree alicemercer, hard to have some of these conversations on ning
Durff -> EdTechTalk: recent discussion? did I miss sth?
sroseman -> EdTechTalk: http://kansascity.com//story/.html
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Well, it's new...
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I digress...
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: thx sue.... I could probably find the link I read... just a sec
Durff -> EdTechTalk: I looked two hours ago...
Simon -> EdTechTalk: I can relate Steve, I can't believe I've been asked to present to teachers/senior admin about what I am doing in my classroom!
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: Have people tried YackPack for conversations?
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: AliceBarr, what do you mean that its hard to have these discussions on Ning?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: congrats, Simon
Durff -> EdTechTalk: Yack pack
Simon -> EdTechTalk: thanks
Durff -> EdTechTalk: yes
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: YackPack is very good
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article////AR.html?referrer...
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: incredibly well written article too
Maria -> EdTechTalk: i yacked with jody hayes today
Durff -> EdTechTalk: we use it at our school
Durff -> EdTechTalk: I put it on my blog
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: That's great Maria & Durff
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I'm still figuring out about ning, but I've made some great connections though, I never would have. I'm too new, and not "known" so I've found others there. And here. If I was still just posting comments on
Durff -> EdTechTalk: the prinicipal's daughter loved it
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: I think it's a little hard to follow the conversations on Ning because so much is going on all the time. Perhaps it is me and my inexperience with social networking, I'm not sure
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: We have it on our wikispace
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: The big blogs, I'd be lost
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: for a collaborative project with Malaysia
Durff -> EdTechTalk: no alice
Maria -> EdTechTalk: I put yackpack on my classroom blog but haven't been called yet
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: Thanks for sharing. Do you have a blog, AliceBarr?
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: has yackpack improved its quality then?
JohnPederson -> EdTechTalk: :)
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: You have to invite Maria - we'll call you!
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: invite us
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: It's working well for us Sharon
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: And I have a blog, but MY blog, as opposed to my class blog, is not getting heavy traffic.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: it is somewhat disconnected, alice
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: Agree with Steve on this. School's create their own irrelevant reality.
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: good to hear, Chrissy - what is the advantage over skype?
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: I linked my blog from my Moodle class, but didn't assign anything
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: It is , I assume that was to Alice b, but I agree
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: You can record a message, chat a message or speak live
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: ohhhh
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Miguel: I have a few that I use for class purposes. Mine is in progress and will be up soon http://alicebarr.edublogs.org or http://yhsstaff.edublogs.org
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: Good when time difference is a problem
Durff -> EdTechTalk: yackpack is liked a walkietalkie
Durff -> EdTechTalk: Skype keeps a log of the text chats
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: good point chrissy
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: Thanks, AliceBarr...you should write about your ning experience and share that. just a suggestion.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: I'm learning RSS because of Horizon Project
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: Students really like leaving a message and hearing a message
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I feel like I reach more people here, and on classroom . than on my blog.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Thanks Miguel Good suggestion!
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: The talk here helps to clarify.
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: Why AliceMercer?
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Oh, maybe they don't like my politics? I don't know? I connect a lot more through commenting.
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I get some comments, but not a lot on my blog, whereas here, I'm having a conversation.
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: Blogs really are mostly presentation, unless the conversation is integrated.
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: great question about mobile computing devices
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: I like the idea of having the discussion in its own column, instead of responses to posts.
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: my students raised that very question today
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: Hmm...blogs are less about conversation more about presentation
Durff -> EdTechTalk: I leave comments on student's blogs just cause
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: You have to have an audience, and while I and my husband think I'm fascinating, others haven't
Durff -> EdTechTalk: kids love it
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: discovered me yet, lol
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: Cheyl, what are some of the journal you like?
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: what's your blog address AliceMercer?
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: how can cell phones be used to promote education...
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: My students have each other and me to prompt the conversation along.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: I agree Miguel. I have been using blogs more as a log
Durff -> EdTechTalk: oh, you are fascinating, alice
SandyB -> EdTechTalk: htp://www.techlearning.com/blog///a_problem_with_blogs.php
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: well I like tech learning.com, :-), I like TIE, eschoolnews, education world
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: http://mizmercer.edublogs.org, You already link to my class site http://nicholasfifth.edublogs.org
Durff -> EdTechTalk: my kids converse on their blogs
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: interesting viewpoint, Miguel - more about presentation than conversation....
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Okay, phones could REALLY bridge the digital divide.
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Poor people, and people of color have much more penetration into cell phones than computers
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: Ok, I get eschool news and ed world I will look into techlearning
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: Edutopia too
Durff -> EdTechTalk: ahhh, there' a bug in here! spring has spring!
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: yes, Lisa, I would say that my own kids do that too - they are using their facebook and myspace more as an asynchronous chat room
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: Durff - my students & I have just started looking at your blog as a model
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Soon cell phones will be coputers!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: sprung
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: computers
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: Conversation is with yourself <smile>
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: cell phones already are computers
Durff -> EdTechTalk: my blog?
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: when you really think about it
Durff -> EdTechTalk: as a model?
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: You have a blog Durff?
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: grin
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: yip
Durff -> EdTechTalk: oh dear!
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Anyway, Miguel you don't have to read my blog, (now I sound pathetic) but I like ning (eventhough it's chaotic) because I'm seeing new folks I never did before.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: oh Miguel - I have
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: The unknown, the newbies, etc.
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: AliceMercer, Steve Hargadon will be glad to read your blog. We've been having a polite disagreement on this.
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I saw, grin!
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I'm a stirrer
Durff -> EdTechTalk: polite?
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Now you know.
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: I can see why you like http://techlearning.com/ Cheryl! You're on the home page!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: since when?
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: Ban cell phones...read Dean Shareski on this recently
Durff -> EdTechTalk: anyone try Jott yet?
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: that is why I had the smile kathy.
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Yeah, I have a kid in my class (fifth grade) with a cell and no computer.
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: ahh lol
Durff -> EdTechTalk: a tool for cell phones
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: Steve Dembo , Vicki DAvis, Miguel G. are all on techlearning
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: But what to do with them? web content?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: a cell IS a computer
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: I'm not anymore
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: I'm out-classed!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: because?
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: intimidated by Cheryl!
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: Similar to jott is http://gabcast.com/
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: no way, is that true?
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: Miguel you got me going on blogging when I was on sabbatical
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: yep
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: ;)
JohnPederson -> EdTechTalk: which video are you referencing?
JohnPederson -> EdTechTalk: link?
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: pay attention video
Durff -> EdTechTalk: Karl Fisch video
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: http://www.speedofcreativity.org////and-so-it-begins-olpc-deployment/
JohnPederson -> EdTechTalk: k
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: It is such a small screen
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: That's my concern...
Durff -> EdTechTalk: the buttons are too small
Durff -> EdTechTalk: on a cell phone
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: It's a pretty cool device though. WE have one at school!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: for kids especially
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: I can barely text on my cell
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: I am embarrassed to say
Durff -> EdTechTalk: me tpp
Durff -> EdTechTalk: soooo small
Simon -> EdTechTalk: the Toronto District School Board officially banned cell phones this weeek
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Hard call on cell phone
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: You do what Maine did!
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: I am not surprised
Durff -> EdTechTalk: ours don't yet, even if I buy them
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: we are pretty tough on cell phones at my school
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: We've had "mob" fights with cell phones, and "safety" issues seem to trump all.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: iPods are banned too
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Also, not all cells are web capable, or folks may not subscribe.
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: the policy is against all electronic devices
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: we have that too Sharon
Durff -> EdTechTalk: my phone was free and I can acess
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i'm cheap
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Yeah, but don't you have to subscribe?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i get the lowest pl;an
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Getting a web capable is easy,
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: Verizon is $/month but uses airtime
Durff -> EdTechTalk: $ per month
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: but it is SO slow
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i do not sibscribe
Durff -> EdTechTalk: to the internet
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I love google earth
Durff -> EdTechTalk: but i can get it on the phone anyway
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Hey, there is an idea.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: if i can, i'm sure the natives can
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Okay, I'm getting convinced.
sroseman -> EdTechTalk: Have you heard of twitter
Durff -> EdTechTalk: tweets!
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: don't start, I have a twitter aversion.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: Jaiku is better
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: I'm twitter averse also
Durff -> EdTechTalk: Go to Jaiku
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I don't want to be "on" that much. and I"m online a lot.
Durff -> EdTechTalk: http://jaiku.com/
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: So John, I was just checking out your blog. I like the intersting images you choose to accompany you text. I also enjoy your observations. So what is it really,fuzz?!
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: any questions from the chat room for STeve?
sendkathy -> EdTechTalk: Did you ask him about discovery educators?
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: highlights from today's webinair?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: talk about his online persona a bit
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: What wa sthe webinar today?
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Sound is going in and out.
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: What are suggestions Steve has for overcoming the network police?
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Ugh, I can't do squat at my school.
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: EDUCATION!!!!!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: netwoek police
Durff -> EdTechTalk: good name
Durff -> EdTechTalk: i can't either
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Exactky Sharon: AMKE Good choices!
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: I feel very lucky - we don't have as many issues with network police as you guys do
Durff -> EdTechTalk: so i take my laptop
SandyB -> EdTechTalk: The network guys like to blame the blocks and filters on parental complaints
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Make Good Choices sorry
Durff -> EdTechTalk: and go away
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: What is the concern with wireless?
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: security wise?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: we have wireless
JohnPederson -> EdTechTalk: if steve were to conquer the world, what would be his first move? (serious questionstion: why do you use twitter?)
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Why couldn't they bring in their own laptops with wireless?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: I think it's others taking advantage of it
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: subscribed to your blogs, AliceMercer and AliceBarr. thx
Durff -> EdTechTalk: kids need a sign on to access via the school's servers
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Thank you Miguel!
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Thank you, lol
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Hopefully you won't be sorry...
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: I am subscribed to you Miguel
Durff -> EdTechTalk: watch out,Miguel has a forked tongue!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: :)
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Yes agree alice mercer... However this motivates me!

Durff -> EdTechTalk: I have class one's at blogmeister
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: I gave a web . workshop, and they said, "Oh! Now I know what I don't know!"
Durff -> EdTechTalk: oh dear
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: We did a preso with the supe and cabinet on podcasting this morning
Durff -> EdTechTalk: so they didn't buy into it?
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: I like that statement Lisa , I know what I don't know.
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: they learned how to use the Olympus WS-
MGuhlin.net -> EdTechTalk: I agree with Steve!
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: I liked it too, Cheryl -- but all they'd ever heard of was MySpace
sharonp -> EdTechTalk: great job Lisa!
Durff -> EdTechTalk: and how bad it is too
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Miguel how did it go?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: not why it is successful
Cathy E -> EdTechTalk: My principal is so supportive- I am so lucky
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: it's confusing to have two Lisas here -- I should change my name
Durff -> EdTechTalk: mine is too
Durff -> EdTechTalk: just call me Durff
Durff -> EdTechTalk: it's easier
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: Woo hoo! Great Cheryl!
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: I'm gonna be LisaHistory next time; that's my web name anyway
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: I wonder how many admin know about podcasting and blogging?
Durff -> EdTechTalk: hi alice again
alicebarr -> EdTechTalk: We have a technology continuum
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Hello
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: I just found out today the principal at my kid's school doesn't get it
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: another parent asked me to be on the tech committee
Durff -> EdTechTalk: you get to tell him
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: Anyone know where I can find a good elem school basic website I can show them?
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: We don't have any standards to follow for technology as such - is that the same for anyone else?
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Lisa, do they do automated phone system.
cheryl wow -> EdTechTalk: http://www.weskids.com bob sprankle
Charlene C. -> EdTechTalk: What about ISTE's standards?
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: yes, alicemercer, they do
Durff -> EdTechTalk: why can't we bring Starbucks into the classroom for blogging
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: You can show mine: http://nicholasfifth.edublogs.org
nzchrissy -> EdTechTalk: No we don't have ISTE standards
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: shoehorn them into podcasting.
LisaMLane -> EdTechTalk: thanks, alicemercer, I will, but just a basic HTML site?
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Suggest that they save them online.
alicemercer -> EdTechTalk: Not basic.
