2008-07-27 11:21:39 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: Can someone check the stream?
2008-07-27 11:21:53 [Message] Kevinh -> -EdTechTalk: Please do
2008-07-27 11:21:55 [Message] Michele H. -> -EdTechTalk: It has picture books that you can read page by page.  The entire book is there instead of just an excerpt.
2008-07-27 11:23:20 [Message] amymcordova -> -EdTechTalk: What levels of books and does it read it to the viewer?
2008-07-27 11:23:47 [Message] lfeld52 -> -EdTechTalk: lookybook great for severe/profound
2008-07-27 11:23:51 [Message] amymcordova -> -EdTechTalk: @ Lisa Parisi I have no picture
2008-07-27 11:25:27 [Message] lfeld52 -> -EdTechTalk: will there be any video feed?
2008-07-27 11:25:44 [Message] Michele H. -> -EdTechTalk: @amymcordova  Well they are all picture books, but all levels of pic books are there.
2008-07-27 11:28:00 [Message] amymcordova -> -EdTechTalk: @ Michele H are these real books that kids can look at in the library?
2008-07-27 11:28:15 [Message] Michele H. -> -EdTechTalk: I have not used lookybook with sound.
2008-07-27 11:28:56 [Message] Michele H. -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, they are are all books you can buy on Amazon, by popular authors.
2008-07-27 11:29:30 [Message] amymcordova -> -EdTechTalk: @Michele H Are the books embeddable?
2008-07-27 11:29:54 [Message] Michele H. -> -EdTechTalk: That I have not tried.

2008-07-27 11:38:46 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: hello Honeycutts! Hope the vacation has been restful. K, know you're gonna have demands on your time when you get back, but need to visit!
2008-07-27 11:38:48 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: Thank you! :)
2008-07-27 11:38:50 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: hey Lisa!
2008-07-27 11:39:08 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: ;-) That's me the trouble maker
2008-07-27 11:39:13 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Hi everyone-hope I can stay with you for the show--grandkids want to go to the lake :-)
2008-07-27 11:39:39 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: love this topic. Good for deep discussion in many directions
2008-07-27 11:39:40 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Maybe web 2.0 doesn't need to be a part of every class
2008-07-27 11:39:51 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: class or topic?
2008-07-27 11:39:51 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: but web 2.0 DOES need to be a part of every teacher's professional development
2008-07-27 11:39:57 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy Ever?
2008-07-27 11:40:12 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: at the very least, teachers have to be learning how to create their own PD opportunities
2008-07-27 11:40:15 [Message] colleenk -> -EdTechTalk: How are you defining technology?
2008-07-27 11:40:16 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: wanna be sure I'm on the same page with the topic
2008-07-27 11:40:16 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: No, not ever
2008-07-27 11:40:34 [Message] colleenk -> -EdTechTalk: Just web 2.0 tools?
2008-07-27 11:40:35 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Again, like it was said at BLC repeatedly, it's not about the tool
2008-07-27 11:41:05 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: Maybe it doesn't need to be a part of every part of the classroom but @Lucy I agree it does need to be a part of a teacher's PD
2008-07-27 11:41:22 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I'd rather see Web 2.0 stuff incorporated sporadically but in a meangingful way... not just use it because it's "cool"
2008-07-27 11:41:32 [Message] MariaK -> -EdTechTalk: tools may enhance teaching but need a good teacher to work with tools
2008-07-27 11:41:35 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: We've got to get away from the "cool" factor. It's not compelling enough educationally
2008-07-27 11:41:38 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: Agree with @Lucy
2008-07-27 11:41:42 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy Absolutely. Must be meaningful use.
2008-07-27 11:41:45 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: I try to put tech into my classroom seemlessly enough that it's just a nother tool that I use to teach/learn
2008-07-27 11:41:52 [Message] wsigele -> -EdTechTalk: also agree with @Lucy!
2008-07-27 11:42:01 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: Kids do, in my experience, go "blaise" after a bit if it's about the tool.
2008-07-27 11:42:01 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy I think that if the teachers don't know what they are missing- that's a problem. If it's a choice, that's a different discussion
2008-07-27 11:42:14 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I agree, Cheryl..... the seamless factor is important. For many teachers, seamless is beyond them at this point
2008-07-27 11:42:29 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: I agree with Maureen. Given the chance the students know what theya re missing
2008-07-27 11:42:31 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: @Maureen Yes, you are right . Totally
2008-07-27 11:42:40 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: seemless like a pencil, paper not because it's cool to do
2008-07-27 11:42:46 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I think it's wrong when a teacher doesn't use Web 2.0 because they are dissmissive of tech.
2008-07-27 11:43:03 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I think if they choose not to use something for pedagogial reasons, I have more respect for that
2008-07-27 11:43:11 [Message] wsigele -> -EdTechTalk: there are so many teachers that don't even know what web2.0 IS
2008-07-27 11:43:13 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: But how do we help teachers realize what opportunities are out there for students?
2008-07-27 11:43:15 [Message] mrichme -> -EdTechTalk: Teachers who are not incorporating technology in some form denies a portion of their students' intelligence.
2008-07-27 11:43:22 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy so many of my colleagues are in that category
2008-07-27 11:43:26 [Message] lfeld52 -> -EdTechTalk: what would a classroom teacher consider to be web 2.0? Is the definition obscure to some?
2008-07-27 11:43:28 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy  What would be acceptable pedagogical reasoning for not use tech?
2008-07-27 11:43:40 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: @cheryl We have a long way to go. I know. I see it all the time.
2008-07-27 11:43:41 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy- I agree. all of the tech, any tool you use in the classroom should be evaluated for best practice.
2008-07-27 11:43:47 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: Kevin's right on with "at some point"
2008-07-27 11:43:59 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: there's never a need for an online resource?
2008-07-27 11:44:11 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Hmmm... a simplistic example would when you are trying to teach research
2008-07-27 11:44:21 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: You wouldn't just let kids loose with Google
2008-07-27 11:44:24 [Message] suriawang -> -EdTechTalk: Who's talking?
2008-07-27 11:44:26 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: We all know that, right?
2008-07-27 11:44:35 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: @suriawang:  it's Kevin Honeycutt
2008-07-27 11:44:38 [Message] lfeld52 -> -EdTechTalk: "detached educational retina" love it!
2008-07-27 11:44:41 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: So, you might want to scaffold the research process using traditional stuff
2008-07-27 11:44:49 [Message] suriawang -> -EdTechTalk: Oh!  Thought I recognized his voice....
2008-07-27 11:44:53 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: and moving it into Web 2.0 when kids are ready and get the analog way
2008-07-27 11:45:04 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy, agreed again, but would not leave online research out.
2008-07-27 11:45:10 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Of course not
2008-07-27 11:45:19 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Okay, I need to think of a better example.
2008-07-27 11:45:21 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: :)
2008-07-27 11:45:28 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: (gonna help you)
2008-07-27 11:45:37 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: LOL! Good.
2008-07-27 11:45:40 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: I also think that we need to look to UDL and tech has, or can play a role in that
2008-07-27 11:45:57 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: How many teachers really understand UDL?
2008-07-27 11:46:00 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: thinking about tech in FACS classes.
2008-07-27 11:46:07 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy I think very few
2008-07-27 11:46:17 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: So if you are not using tech, you are not using the best practice to reach all of your kids
2008-07-27 11:46:17 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: That's another big gaping hole in bridge our world with the world of our colleagues who are unindoctrinated
2008-07-27 11:46:43 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @MAureen Exactly!
2008-07-27 11:46:46 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I guess I'm an advocate for selective practices
2008-07-27 11:46:47 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: hi
2008-07-27 11:47:01 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy when I see colleagues doing the same thing they did 10 yrs ago it makes it very difficult for them to understand UDL they need to be open to looking at things through different glasses
2008-07-27 11:47:10 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: @LucyGray  That's next week's topic. :)
2008-07-27 11:47:12 [Message] sheila a -> -EdTechTalk: Hi vcautin!
2008-07-27 11:47:31 [Message] colleenk -> -EdTechTalk: @Maureen Are you sure you're not Karen Jan? :)
2008-07-27 11:47:32 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: Is this the place for the Connectivism and connective knowledge course
2008-07-27 11:47:37 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: ?
2008-07-27 11:47:58 [Message] Kevinh -> -EdTechTalk: vcautin This is conversations
2008-07-27 11:48:04 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: oh
2008-07-27 11:48:05 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: accessiblity to info, considering learning styles, and freedom to do so is a big need to be able to be a "good" teacher.
2008-07-27 11:48:07 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I know the pushback I will get from my colleagues are questions like: How does this support ambitious teaching and learning? Why does this making learning traditional subjects better?
2008-07-27 11:48:09 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: I think it's hard for veteran teachers (and I am one), who were the good little book learners to see what the different learning styles requires
2008-07-27 11:48:44 [Message] colleenk -> -EdTechTalk: @Maureen How did you do it?
2008-07-27 11:48:46 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I still have not come up with a good elevator pitch. I know in my heart that using these technologies is the way of the future, but I don't feel like I'm compellingly articulate on this
2008-07-27 11:48:48 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: but do some teachers use a great 2.0 tool in very traditional, stifling ways?
2008-07-27 11:49:05 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, Ginger!
2008-07-27 11:49:10 [Message] mrichme -> -EdTechTalk: In some ways teachers need to be learners again!
2008-07-27 11:49:15 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: so how's that ANY better. likely worse!
2008-07-27 11:49:24 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy I feel the same way.
2008-07-27 11:49:36 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: life long learners >isn't that we want our students to be as well
2008-07-27 11:49:42 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: It's when you say... I want to do a podcast or a blog or a whatever without the thought that goes into making an assignment meaningful.
2008-07-27 11:49:43 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: @colleenk- was interested in making web site for my K class...show off what we were doing- then got dragged kicking and screaming into tech. Now it's part of the way I teach
2008-07-27 11:49:50 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: YIKE bungee cord a kid to his seat!?
2008-07-27 11:49:54 [Message] wsigele -> -EdTechTalk: teachers ALWAYS need to be learners!
2008-07-27 11:49:55 [Message] Kevinh -> -EdTechTalk: Clykowski Right!
2008-07-27 11:50:01 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @Cheryl yes! But how do we help teachers see the value of life long learning?
2008-07-27 11:50:23 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Do you guys remember at NECC and Edubloggercon when someone said, "When did teachers stop being learners?"
2008-07-27 11:50:23 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: @Alice I was hoping you'd tell me ;-)
2008-07-27 11:50:25 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: They tend to be stuck in the expert, I know it all moce
2008-07-27 11:50:52 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @Cheryl :(
2008-07-27 11:50:58 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: I was listening to a podcast yesterday where they where talking about a project where they wanted students to be practicioners
2008-07-27 11:51:02 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: rather than pretenders
2008-07-27 11:51:15 [Message] suriawang -> -EdTechTalk: It's still the prevailing definition of teacher -- The Expert...
2008-07-27 11:51:21 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: meaning that they wanted students to be actual mathematicians, historians, etc
2008-07-27 11:51:39 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: and I was wondering how to accomplish that
2008-07-27 11:51:43 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: I student taught with a teacher--WONDERFUL teacher--who had big trouble reaching the tough kids. I have trouble reaching the "good" kids. Nice to have w2.0 tools to reach multiple "teachers/mentors"
2008-07-27 11:51:50 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: @ lucy I think we have a ways to go yet. I still use tech in very traditional ways. ie using VT, but it may as well be ppt. We need to continue to explore how to really step up and use these tools to be more creative.
2008-07-27 11:52:04 [Message] lfeld52 -> -EdTechTalk: not all schools have interactive whiteboards, laptops and such
2008-07-27 11:52:25 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: I still have a problem with IBW's as "front of the room" centered.
2008-07-27 11:52:28 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Ugh How did I leave the chat?
2008-07-27 11:52:28 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: welcome back @Lucy
2008-07-27 11:52:30 [Message] suriawang -> -EdTechTalk: I like the way he thinks.....
2008-07-27 11:52:43 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: I think that the value is in students creating and using the tools, no?
2008-07-27 11:52:51 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I think teachers need to personally experience what it's like to be a learner in a completely unfamiliar environment--such as a deaf community (only sign language) or where no English is spoken to help them recognize how many different learning styles there are to make sure every child is learning!
2008-07-27 11:53:14 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I guess when I open a new tab I get kicked out
2008-07-27 11:53:19 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: yes
2008-07-27 11:53:21 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: people come and go so quickly around here

2008-07-27 11:53:32 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I work with urban kids
2008-07-27 11:53:33 [Message] Kevinh -> -EdTechTalk: The tools should be as natural as eyesight or hearing..for too long we've taught the tool not with the tool.
2008-07-27 11:53:34 [Message] vcautin -> -EdTechTalk: maybe enroll in a Spanish clas he he he
2008-07-27 11:53:44 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: in an organization that is bent on making it work for kids academically

2008-07-27 12:14:09 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Okay, here's a question... related to the quality of the teaching force
2008-07-27 12:14:30 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: @Lisa, right, but even then?  Would elimination of tenure force teachers to learn?
2008-07-27 12:14:36 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: If you took people who were all high achieving in the workforce as lawyers, investment bankers, doctors... and put them into classrooms
2008-07-27 12:14:42 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Would they feel as initimidated?
2008-07-27 12:14:49 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Would they balk at learning stuff?
2008-07-27 12:14:59 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Would they keep up?
2008-07-27 12:15:01 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, Ginger, but I think elimination of tenure would also make it possible for me to be let go..I make much more money than a brand new teacher
2008-07-27 12:15:15 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy, with the high stakes, they'd be intimidated, but I think they'd learn. It's what they do or they fail in their careers.
2008-07-27 12:15:21 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @LUcy That is a great question
2008-07-27 12:15:23 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Is this something about the people who are going into teaching? I'm just throwing this out there?
2008-07-27 12:15:26 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: It's the "add on" piece that is a problem. It's not adding on- it is a change..even if incremental
2008-07-27 12:15:36 [Message] wsigele -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy, even those 'high learners' have to go through new training yearly. Laws change, rules change, etc
2008-07-27 12:15:41 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: There's a lot of talk about stats related to the teachign force

2008-07-27 12:15:53 [Message] alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy it's the expectation that teacher is expert. Happens at univ. as well
2008-07-27 12:15:57 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I'd hate to believe that things make great teachers
2008-07-27 12:15:59 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: Hi karen
2008-07-27 12:16:02 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: @Lisa, but if we rely on tenure to keep good teacher, that the system wouldn't recoginze your wealth and would let you go on money, that's a tough thing.
2008-07-27 12:16:16 [Message] KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: Hi, EVERYONE! what's the topic?
2008-07-27 12:16:29 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: There are always reasons to not change the system. Sometime we're just going to have to take a leap

2008-07-27 12:17:51 [Message] CLykowski -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy I think regardless of profession continued learning is important as humans continued learning is important
2008-07-27 12:18:02 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: Lisa P,  I'd like to see it framed as, "Isn't this exciting? Look what we CAN do!"
2008-07-27 12:18:08 [Message] colleenk -> -EdTechTalk: I hate to "pick on" ed schools but I'm seeing a lot of young teachers who have not heard of any of the tools we use in our classrooms.

2008-07-27 12:18:18 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: yes, Cheryle, that is the essence. I totally agree
2008-07-27 12:18:29 [Message] wsigele -> -EdTechTalk: Technology in medical field has changed them also
2008-07-27 12:18:31 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: @Lucy I try that.  They don't jump on.
2008-07-27 12:18:32 [Message] KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: Technology is required for reaching the needs of ALL our students in our classrooms - struggling learners, kids on IEPs, kids with vision issues, organizational issues etc.
2008-07-27 12:18:34 [Message] lfeld52 -> -EdTechTalk: curriculum our district is beginning to adapt is becoming very tech. heavy...online links, clips, etc
2008-07-27 12:18:52 [Message] mrichme -> -EdTechTalk: @colleenk  we need a better mentoring program.  Higher ed is further behind than K12.

2008-07-27 12:19:29 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: @LisaParisi I understand what you are saying about being presumptous
2008-07-27 12:19:41 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: When I taught at the university I always started each class with something new I learned/discovered from my social network. It helped them to appreciate the power of networks and gave them specific tools to try to add value to their teaching.
2008-07-27 12:19:54 [Message] colleenk -> -EdTechTalk: @mrichme My neice is a gr 4 teacher and only knows about these tools through me. Was not introduced to tech at school.
2008-07-27 12:19:58 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: @lucy  It does feel presumptuous at times.  But I know I'm right. ;)
2008-07-27 12:20:16 [Message] lfeld52 -> -EdTechTalk: how would teachers feel if the students (with guidance of tech person) set up a wiki or blog, etc for class. Would teacher be guided in that direction?
2008-07-27 12:20:18 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: We should starte an elevator pitch wiki
2008-07-27 12:20:27 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: where we plot our lines of thinking
2008-07-27 12:20:39 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: to give admins and colleagues a concrete argument for this stuff

2008-07-27 12:20:57 [Message] LucyGray -> -EdTechTalk: I need a collective place to come and find stuff to use in this manner
2008-07-27 12:21:14 [Message] KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: if we withhold the technology that students on IEPs need, isn't that malpractice?
2008-07-27 12:21:35 [Message] bcdtech/Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: @ifeld52 I set up a ning for gr 7-9 for next year. I'll teach the kids how to use it for other classes- whether the other teachers want it or not- little worried

2008-07-27 12:21:56 [Message] Michele H. -> -EdTechTalk: When teachers are "required" to learn about tech they come with kinds of attitudes at times.  It helps some if they can go to a colleague one on one.

2008-07-27 12:23:36 [Message] Michele H. -> -EdTechTalk:  I don't feel like I know that much but I'm willing to share.  And I still need others so much for tech and non-tech learning.
2008-07-27 12:24:04 [Message] KarenJan -> -EdTechTalk: how many of you have text-to-speech installed on all your computers for the struggling readers in your class? how many of you use UDL principles - that's a great way to reinforces the need for technology for our kids
2008-07-27 12:24:18 [Message] GingerTPLC -> -EdTechTalk: @michele Agreed. Many newbies feel they have nothing to share though and we need to give them opportunity to share non-tech things along side 2.0 tools.
