Women of Web Show #38, We are Back!
The Back to School show.We asked our guests and ourselves to consider the following.
What are your dreams and visions for this school year? 07-08.
Question for all participants.
Many of us have had the past 8-12 weeks off from school. During this
time what new things have surfaced that you are beginning to put into
your plan for your schools in the upcoming school year?
What is the most exciting thing you are going to introduce?
What is your goal, vision for the year? By next June 2008, my
community, my staff, my students will be on board and able to do........
We were lucky to start off with Kristin Hokanson

21:18:03 Cathy N (SC) i agree u must lurl for a bit
21:18:06 CheriT jgates - it's like continual connection and ongoing professional development
21:18:22 jgarton When my hardware guys find out my twitter there will be no end to the teasing
21:18:26 JenWagner i didn't really get it until it said "Ryan Bretag is chatting with Jen Wagner in The Bloggers Cafe" and Mark Wagner came running up
21:18:26 sharonp if you have awesome peeps on your network (and please include us) - then you will find some treasures
21:18:29 Cathy N (SC) i luv the preview to blog posts a lot--tho some do not hink u should post blog urls
21:18:33 LisaParisi when i first started this summer, i hated twitter
21:18:36 JenWagner and I realized -- how powerful it is
21:18:41 LisaParisi didn't get it thought it was silly
21:18:47 charbeck one of the best ways to get people to read your blog posts is to twitter about it
21:18:48 LisaParisi then i started following some of you
21:18:51 LisaParisi now i get it
21:18:51 JenWagner lol -- sometimes it still is
21:18:54 joycevalenza twitter gives me my best leads
21:18:55 LisaParisi so powerful
21:18:59 LisaParisi get great blogs
21:19:01 LisaParisi sites
21:19:02 CheriT Hi Joyce!
21:19:03 LisaParisi ideas
21:19:03 sharonp I agree Cathy - this is how I am finding some great blog posts
21:19:04 jgarton I thought it was silly too, that's why I've waited so long to try it
21:19:06 Karen Janowski powerful but so distracting!!!
21:19:06 JenWagner twitter makes me laugh
21:19:09 Cathy N (SC) and u can get quick answers there
21:19:10 JenWagner and makes me cry
21:19:26 JenWagner like tonight -- we are waiting to hear if Mark Wagner is going to have a girl or boy
21:19:29 jgates maybe I shuld give it a second chance
21:19:31 JenWagner I think that that is cool
21:19:37 Karen Janowski scoble follows over 5,000 people, how does he do it?
21:19:38 sharonp Chris Lehmann had me in stitches with his twittering of conference sesions for principals....
21:19:47 Diane H. There's a fear though that some teachers feel they need to reach "mastery" level before they try new technologies. Need to balance starting slow with jumping in and getting your feet wet.
21:19:49 LisaParisi 5000 people is a bit crazy
21:19:52 JenWagner JibJab last week was HYSTERICAL
21:19:56 Pam Shoemaker twitter=shoemap
21:19:58 sharonp is Mark Wagner due any minute?
21:19:58 Cathy N (SC) I do watch to see how many friends--too many makes me skeptical
21:20:01 JenWagner the dancing heads had me smiling
21:20:06 JenWagner The ultrasound for baby
21:20:07 CheriT that was hilarious - Chris shared the positives and negatives of his pd
21:20:09 joycevalenza yes, jen!
21:20:16 sharonp teh WR and DJ jibjab??
21:20:21 jgarton dancing head, Will? I saw that one
21:20:29 JenWagner yep -- I howled
21:20:49 jgarton me too, my daughter came running in the room to see what had me lol
21:20:55 Diane H. Things change but you can do so many innovative things with even "old" tools.
21:20:56 ColleenK twitter = mathplayground
21:21:11 sharonp that jibjab was almost too much - almost sacriligious! I would *never* do that to my friends.... I think.... well, maybe..
21:21:14 joycevalenza we have to get used to messy learning
21:21:16 Cathy N (SC) twitter=playground in gnral
21:21:17 Karen Janowski my kids watched me in twitter - they thought it was so lame - facebook talk for adults
21:21:17 Diane H. Sometimes??? Mess-up is a given!
21:21:30 Kristin Hokanson markwagner ultrasound his eve
21:21:34 JenWagner LOL -- Sharon so I am safe??
21:21:38 Cathy N (SC) blogs blocked at school but NOT twitter
21:21:43 Diane H. We need to give up our expert role.
21:21:43 Cathy N (SC) go figure
21:21:44 JenWagner do we know the baby's sex yet??
21:21:57 mrichme not yet
21:21:59 Cathy N (SC) i did not see it posted yet
21:22:00 LisaParisi my students tend to learn faster than me
21:22:04 Cathy N (SC) mark oh mark where are u?
21:22:07 LisaParisi then they show me how to do things
21:22:18 Karen Janowski yes, lisa
21:22:29 joycevalenza i just hope we can integrate traditional skills into new landscapes
21:22:33 Karen Janowski i ask my son to show me when he learns something cool (he's 17)
21:22:35 LisaParisi and they love telling me how dumb i am :)
21:22:50 Karen Janowski yes, joyce
21:22:57 LisaParisi my daughter's into showing me all the widgets for blogsites
21:23:11 joycevalenza I love widgets
21:23:16 Karen Janowski joyce - good to balance
21:23:17 ColleenK Lisa, I've been doing the same
21:23:21 joycevalenza but I have too many
21:23:32 ColleenK I'm widget happy
21:23:41 LisaParisi me too colleen
21:23:50 sharonp hey Karen and Lisa - I rely on my kids too to keep me in the loop with Internet goodies
21:23:52 Karen Janowski i'm statistics happy on my blog
21:23:57 LisaParisi but my daughter is 100x worse
21:24:17 LisaParisi when we started our blogsite in spring
21:24:22 LisaParisi we showed kids basics
21:24:32 ColleenK I avoid statistics.....not that popular yet :)
21:24:32 jgates wow!!
21:24:34 LisaParisi they showed us widgets and fancy writing and icons
21:24:36 Cathy N (SC) SCAD!
21:24:36 CheriT very cool
21:24:43 Karen Janowski love to see where people come from
21:24:44 LisaParisi then they showed each other
21:24:53 sharonp CollenK, I am with you - there are some things I don't want to know
21:24:55 Karen Janowski Vicki,
21:24:58 LisaParisi they blogged about it
21:24:59 Cathy N (SC) my son's best friend is there--he is at DePAul
21:25:14 Cathy N (SC) but they are as close as ever due to web 2.0
21:25:16 loria DePaul in chicago?
21:25:16 Karen Janowski i worry that we are overlooking kids with special needs when we talk about 2.0
21:25:19 LisaParisi but colleen, i love clustrmap
21:25:19 ColleenK I just imagine a cluster map with 3 red dots :)
21:25:24 LisaParisi love watching it grow
21:25:27 LisaParisi gets exciting
21:25:29 Karen Janowski ]lol colleen
21:25:43 jgates one dot for each relative?
21:25:44 LisaParisi and twitter is helping my clustrmap grow
21:25:48 Karen Janowski but clustr map is fun - so is google analytics
21:25:51 joycevalenza So what is the killer app for newbie teachers in 2007/2008?
21:25:53 ColleenK That's about it...
21:26:15 Karen Janowski good question Joyce - what's your take?

21:40:51 LisaParisi i read hers everytime she posts a new one
21:40:59 charbeck gnight all see you in a week
21:40:59 alicebarr I am also following jgarton
21:41:05 LisaParisi she says i invade her privacy
21:41:10 JenWagner I cant figure out how I have 74 following and only 71 followers
21:41:14 LisaParisi i tell her online NOTHING is private
21:41:15 joycevalenza :-) new ways to parent. also check her flickr regularly
21:41:16 Karen Janowski Lisa, how old is she
21:41:22 JenWagner I don't understand following followers
21:41:25 jgates i have to go, but I will listen to the archive to hear the end of this.
21:41:26 ColleenK depends on what I've said
21:41:28 LisaParisi almost 12
21:41:29 sharonp okay - anyone using twitterfox and/or twitbin?? Any preference between the ttwo??
21:41:39 coolcatteacher I use twitku.
21:41:44 Karen Janowski tough age!

21:41:46 langwitches I have a mySpace and a Facebook account and am a "friend" of my daughters too
21:41:50 joycevalenza yeah, lots of PA folks!
21:41:50 LisaParisi i haven't figured out anything but using the twitter site
21:41:53 JenWagner I didn't like either Sharon
21:41:55 jgarton Ive gried twitbin. Dont like having to give up the space on my browser for the sidebar
21:41:56 Karen Janowski what's the difference between all those twit options?
21:42:19 joycevalenza don't give up
21:42:20 JenWagner I like choose TWITTER when I want too -- having it all the time was TOO much for me

21:42:34 coolcatteacher twitku does twitter and jaiku
21:42:34 JenWagner and YES, Janetta -- I agree
21:42:39 alicebarr I use twitterific
21:42:42 joycevalenza we need to defend rather than accept
21:42:45 jgarton twitterific is only mac, right?
21:42:46 JenWagner I am wearing my PB wiki t-shirt right now

21:43:02 sharonp hmmm... well I will have to look at those - in all my abundant free time
21:43:03 LisaParisi i am waiting for my t-shirt to arrive
21:43:05 joycevalenza i like it too
21:43:16 JenWagner They sent me a HUGE one -- it is my new nightie :)

21:43:19 alicebarr Twitterific is mac only... there is a PC equivilant
21:43:21 coolcatteacher I'm a wikispaces gal.
21:43:24 Cathy N (SC) edublogs is NOT blcoked at my school--surprise, surprise

21:43:30 coolcatteacher tee hee
21:43:40 MGuhlin.net Can't you setup a DekiWiki or PMWiki solution on a server in your district?
21:43:41 coolcatteacher edublogs blocked?
21:43:43 joycevalenza We really need to argue this
21:43:46 lori.sheldon I have begged and gotten things unblocked successfully
21:43:49 jgarton I need to find the PC equivilant for twitterific
21:43:56 lori.sheldon depends on each district
21:44:00 joycevalenza right!
21:44:05 JenWagner My teachers get sites unblocked when the fill out the form -- and admin approves

21:44:26 joycevalenza did you see the new national school board report on 2.0?
21:44:34 LisaParisi yes,
21:44:35 JenWagner yes, we use QUOTAS a lot

21:50:14 jgarton :{
21:50:15 Karen Janowski Cathy, why it's safer than IE
21:50:22 Cathy N (SC) yes
21:50:27 Cathy N (SC) i don't know
21:50:28 JenWagner our school grading program won't run on FF
21:50:43 Cathy N (SC) they are very funny with their blocks and supposedly watch the downloads too
21:50:51 ColleenK That's a great video. I'm always passing around the link.
21:50:52 Cathy N (SC) maybe that's it
21:50:56 Karen Janowski Yes, lisa - some people still don't explore
21:50:56 coolcatteacher I love firefox.
21:51:01 sharonp I had to sneak FF onto my laptop at school last year - they completely disabled the ability to use it
21:51:02 Cathy N (SC) i do too
21:51:39 Cathy N (SC) my old district didn't block a lot
21:51:42 Cathy N (SC) this one does tho
21:52:07 Karen Janowski just got bumped!

21:52:45 LisaParisi i can hear you
21:53:08 Karen Janowski didn't like the quiet!

21:55:42 cheryloakes WOW2 iz Back thanks for a great show to all in the chat!
21:55:44 SusanEttenheim that's great - what a luxury but where does the money come from to support that!
21:55:58 JenWagner Cathy -- I agree
21:56:05 sharonp I can tell you another way - what I did was to rename the FF exe name and put it on my desktop - so I had FirFox or Fiefox.... hee hee - the students renamed all the FF exe files to "Internet Explorer" on the school library computers - I laughed my head off
21:56:06 JenWagner give up the small battle -- you will win the WAR
21:56:07 Karen Janowski susan - does your town have an education foundation?
