14:05:49  alex.ragone  Nice -- we picked a good one
14:06:01  alex.ragone  :) :)
14:06:06  arvind  amazing!
14:06:25  capohanka  dburns...welcome...how did you find it?
14:06:25  arvind  any other folks here using Disrupting Class to push thinking at their schools?
14:06:49  capohanka  I have it waiting, wrapped, to be opened on Dec 25th
14:07:04  arvind  capohanka, ha ha! Merry Christmas!
14:07:12  VinnieVrotny  We are actually using Wagner's Global Achievement Gap and getting more traction
14:07:13  Steve Taffee  Our administrative team is reading it. One of the best books I have read in the pas decade.
14:07:24  sarah h  just had to email my director since I just got it for him.
14:07:30  VinnieVrotny  @capohanka a gift for yourself?
14:07:31  sarah h  Hope he'll join in this chat!
14:07:47  dburns  Not yet - I'll recommend it for faculty reading soon
14:08:08  capohanka  yes.  I got it when borders had the 25% teacherday and my sons are making me wait until christmas to open it. should've read it at borders before I left.  :)
14:08:16  Jill Brown  It's on my iPod to listen to over break.
14:08:22  David  Our Admin team is reading it at my behest. And I am reading Wagner's book
14:08:29  VinnieVrotny  @caphanka well, wonder if that gift is going to be returned?
14:08:34  capohanka  i didn't think to get it for my iPod.  Good idea?
14:08:39  Susan Morgan  Finished it a few weeks ago, surprised that Siemens was so negative
14:08:57  jramsden  My H.O.S. will be reading it over break. We'll bring discussions to our admin team retreat in January.
14:09:03  athrockmorton  iI have used Wagner's book as a launching pad for several school discussions
14:09:46  alex.ragone  http://flickr.com/photos/alexragone/2986762550/
14:09:53  athrockmorton  i am such a slow reader.  is disrupting class really good?
14:09:55  alex.ragone  The books I gave to my admins and dept.
14:10:13  capohanka  alex...love that photo...good memories of 31 days too
14:10:42  Susan Morgan  Hi Albert...it's been a long time.
14:10:59  athrockmorton  morgan? is that new?
14:11:13  Susan Morgan  Oh yeah....Grace, Carter, Morgan, take your pick:)
14:11:25  capohanka  We call her lovingly Susan Grace Carter Morgan at our school.
14:11:29  athrockmorton  good to "see" you!
14:11:33  Steve Taffee  We use Pat's 5 aspects of sustainability all the time here to talk about our future goals.
14:11:48  arvind  Holton Arms podcasts with the Smithsonian: http://nmaa-ryder.si.edu/interact/podcasts/holton/index.cfm
14:11:54  sarah h  yes, Albert it is that good!  It's really a pretty fast read too.
14:12:13  arvind  Online science fair, fantastic!
14:12:20  jramsden  Here is a great contest that Oracle runs - http://www.thinkquest.org/en/
14:12:43  Susan Morgan  I agree...important, which is why I wonder whyGeorge Siemens was critical. Thinks it lacks innovative thinking aboutlearning...
14:12:44  alex.ragone  We participate in thinkquest.
14:13:34  athrockmorton  we dod a bi lingual CSI, science, mocktrial cross discipline event
14:14:08  arvind  8 year olds invent wedgie-proof underwear:http://www.nationalledger.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=19&nu...
14:14:59  Susan Morgan  I am eager to see how our school does with its 20/20 challenge
14:15:59  Jill Brown  We had Jenifer Fox author of "Your Child'sStrengths" speak at our school (Albuquerque Academy). She is a greatspeaker!
14:16:16  arvind  NAIS Annual Conference: The Winds of Change: http://www.nais.org/go/annualconference
14:16:41  Susan Morgan  Pat lends credibility to this idea since he hasbeen leading this for some time--online with his writing and links backin Central States days. He is not new to these ideas
14:16:48  David  How do we lead change when the leadership is often on the wrong side of the paradigm shift?
14:16:50  alex.ragone  How do we manage change to overcome change?
14:17:14  alex.ragone  NAIS is working on a change leadership book.
14:17:26  Susan Morgan  Leadership often focuses on the day to day fires instead of the big picture
14:17:28  sarah h  those in leadership are those for whom the current system worked well.
14:17:43  VinnieVrotny  Got to go. See you all
14:17:49  alex.ragone  Anticipating reactions and prempting them.
14:17:50  David  Sarah - absolutely correct
14:17:52  arvind  managing change is all about anticipating reactions and ameliorating them
14:17:59  sarah h  @susan--it goes back to Stephen Covey, doesn't it?
14:18:03  arvind  bye Vinnie!
14:18:04  arvind  good luck
14:18:26  sarah h  permission to fail.  Wow.  That is a big one.
14:18:31  Susan Morgan  Permission to fail...may help to alleviate fear
14:18:34  David  Can we wait for that percolation?
14:18:35  alex.ragone  Start small.  Band of brothers.
14:18:38  alex.ragone  Change leadership.
14:18:49  Susan Morgan  @sarah h yes...hadn't thought about that
14:19:03  athrockmorton  how many tech directors move on to headship?
14:19:16  David  few
14:19:23  alex.ragone  @athrockmorton -- We just had one move to assistant head in a NYC school.
14:19:35  Bill Campbell  Until recently, how many tech dirs had a seat on the upper-admin team?
14:19:39  alex.ragone  The dominant culture is agains that shift right now
14:19:39  arvind  Chris Lehman did it, from tech to principal
14:19:43  capohanka  susan...maybe we could "adopt an administrator" atour school and try to get them using the 21st cent tools for their ownbetterment.
14:19:46  alex.ragone  Chris Lehmann was a Tech Coordinator.
14:19:50  capohanka  maybe they will be more open to it
14:19:51  jramsden  But I predict that will change. Much like in industry, we are seeing CIO - CEO...Why not D.O.T. to H.O.S.?
14:20:00  alex.ragone  arvind and I are thinking alike as usual
14:20:06  Susan Morgan  @carey...yes, that's true, might work
14:20:13  athrockmorton  we had a real fight in the tech PGPs toinclude the one about insisting that tech be represented on the cabinet
14:20:34  athrockmorton  "disruptive administration"?
14:20:36  Susan Morgan  Chris Lehmann was also an English teacher at Beacon, wasn't he?
14:20:40  arvind  hi Dave, welcome
14:20:41  fredbartels  robert kegen (harvard) has written a lot aboutchange and change leadership - also hosts a conference on this (fromlaurie, not fred)
14:20:52  sarah h  tech is represented in our operations team, not strategic until just the last couple of weeks.
14:21:07  Susan Morgan  @albert We still "discuss" this here :)
14:21:16  dburns  We've had tech director on admin team for many years - essential
14:21:27  jramsden  @athrockmorton: I'm presenting @ NAIS on just thattopic with Curt Lieneck and Keith Gillete. It's crucial - we believe.
14:21:39  arvind  NAIS's online program:
14:21:47  alex.ragone  Lawyers.
14:21:48  arvind  http://digital.virtualmarketingpartners.com/vmp/nais/annual-conference-2...
14:21:59  alex.ragone  Big speakers cost big bucks. 
14:22:14  sarah h  Hi Jason, Sarah Hanawald here.  I didn't know you knew Curt.  Good topic for NAIS.
14:22:39  jramsden  @albert; @susan @sarah h...title "Geek to Great: Improving IT Leadership in Independent Schools"
14:22:40  Steve Taffee  Administrators can't be passive with regard to trying and championing new technologies.
14:22:56  Susan Morgan  @jason thanks
14:23:18  sarah h  ha!  love it!
14:23:21  jramsden  @sarah H...met him at NAIS last year and then on ISENET and moved forward the the topic.
14:24:09  Susan Morgan  Sound in and out...is it me?
14:24:12  Bill Campbell  Audio is going in and out.  Is it just me?
14:24:14  sarah h  me too
14:24:21  athrockmorton  me too
14:24:23  alex.ragone  having some issues.  Gettign better.
14:24:23  jramsden  Audio - same problem here.
14:24:24  alex.ragone  Sorry.
14:24:24  Jill Brown  Nope, not just you.
14:24:29  dburns  @sasweb.org - same here
14:24:29  arvind  audio coming back now, sorry
14:24:38  alex.ragone  Seems to be better.
14:24:46  athrockmorton  disruptive technology!
14:24:54  Susan Morgan  :)
14:25:04  VinnieVrotny  back for a brief bit so I can capture the chat room and review later
14:25:11  arvind  Teachers of the Future - get your head to nominate you to NAIS!
14:25:15  Susan Morgan  Great news NAIS
14:25:48  arvind  I would love a future, a wikinomics future, asteachers as academic entrepreneurs, to ally themselves with NAIS
14:25:51  arvind  from Pat
14:25:53  Steve Taffee  NAIS carries a lot of weight with our administrators. This is great news, Pat!
14:26:08  alex.ragone  Academics -- getting faculty lectures out there in the iTunes directory.
14:26:30  alex.ragone  All the teachers on the webcast 12-20 minute segments.  Get them up there. 
14:27:04  Susan Morgan  Alex, this is what we talked about on Elluminate in fellows discussion!
14:27:09  arvind  world's best lesson on the first ammendment - get paid for it!
14:27:12  Susan Morgan  Well, not for a cost:(
14:27:20  capohanka  teachers really like free stuff
14:27:26  sarah h  academic entrepreneurs.  Cool
14:27:27  dburns  Question for Pat – As we and our kids are more andmore on-line and plugged in, do we need to worry about less and lessface-to-face time with and among them?  I’m thinking about one idea inMalcolm Gladwell’s Blink – that we learn much from face to faceinteraction that we’re not even aware of…
14:27:33  capohanka  oh, if I got a cut...i'm okay with that
14:27:40  capohanka  i know French!
14:27:44  sarah h  Just emailed my head and told him that PB told him to nominate me. 
14:27:49  athrockmorton  99 cents---sounds like  teacher pay :)
14:28:04  sarah h  Neglected to mention the global nature of the directive;)
14:28:15  jramsden  @sarah h; I second that nomination!
14:28:24  arvind  from Pat: we make sure our board meetings stay strategic
14:28:30  alex.ragone  Nice. 
14:28:46  alex.ragone  Love the conversations in the chat.  Thanks all.
14:28:50  arvind  sarah, awesome!
14:28:52  Jill Brown  Lessons on Teachertube too? - Nice to see the classroom management.
14:29:20  Bill Campbell  Haven't read b
14:30:17  arvind  "we don't call it strategic planning, we call it strategic thinking" - I LOVE this
14:30:20  Bill Campbell  Haven't read Blink, but I used to work for acompany (pre-WWW) that was researching the fact that we get a lot morethrough information communication than form meetings. Is itface-to-face or is it the dynamics of the communication?
14:30:41  Bill Campbell  That was informal communication (not information comm).
14:31:04  athrockmorton  Blink's thesis about thin-slicing encompasses face-to face but not exclusively
14:31:06  Jill Brown  RE: Teachertube --video w/ kids tricky. Hmmm.
14:31:23  alex.ragone  Revolution will not happen without professional learning communities.
14:31:32  alex.ragone  Have to be beyond the corners of our schools. 
14:31:36  arvind  pat just said professional learning communities, that's exactly what I'm into these days
14:31:45  alex.ragone  We try to get 'out' of our schools, huh arvind?
14:31:53  arvind  dburns, I'm sorry we can't get to your question, we're out of time with Pat!
14:32:17  alex.ragone  We can learn from Finland. Resources did every week.  Lesson Planning. 
14:32:20  dburns  Gladwell talks about "micro-expressions" that are perceived in physical space only
14:32:26  arvind  Finland dedicated to professional development. Howmuch time does your school give you each week to work on your prof dev?
14:32:32  Susan Morgan  My professional learning community keeps my head spinning these days
14:32:33  alex.ragone  Japan teachers do rounds like medicals schools do.
14:32:37  capohanka  liked his blog about finland
14:32:41  dburns  no problem - thanks!
14:32:42  capohanka  on the nais site
14:32:43  alex.ragone  I do my learning from 9-11 at night:)
14:32:48  arvind  Susan, me too, head spinning
14:32:54  alex.ragone  Videatives.com
14:33:03  alex.ragone  Going to have to listen to this again.
14:33:09  David  Collaboration seems to be the key here which is often athithetical to the organization of school
14:33:22  sarah h  @ alex.  Yes.  prob more than once
14:33:30  sarah h  (me, not you)
14:33:36  arvind  Pat's blog:http://www.nais.org/about/index.cfm?ItemNumber=147144&sn.ItemNumber=4181...
14:33:45  Susan Morgan  @sarah h thanks for all your great links on ning and diigo:)
14:34:16  sposin  What was the URL Pat just mentioned?
14:34:29  sarah h  http://www.videatives.com/
14:34:40  sarah h  thanks Susan! I love following you!
14:34:46  arvind  Pat just mentioned http://videatives.com/
14:34:52  Susan Morgan  Thanks to you all...agree Arvind. He's been on a long time and that validates the conversation
14:34:59  sarah h  you need the www to make it work for some reason
14:35:01  fredbartels  thanks for the interview! enjoyed it :-) (Laurie and fred)
14:35:04  athrockmorton  thanks--great tak.  my first
14:35:04  Susan Morgan  :)
14:35:07  arvind  alex.ragone via Skype if you want to join the convo
14:35:24  dburns  Thank you all - see ya!
14:35:31  Susan Morgan  Thanks again guys....gotta run home :(
14:35:33  Jill Brown  This was great. Thanks.
14:35:39  alex.ragone  Take care, folks.
14:35:47  sarah h  great show!
14:36:19  Bill Campbell  @arvind You've had a great series of shows so far this year.
14:36:28  arvind  thanks, Bill!
14:36:30  Jill Brown  I listen to EdTech Talk all the time!
14:36:44  athrockmorton  got it from ised
14:36:56  Jill Brown  I got the info from ISED, too.
14:36:58  lauriebartels  was most encouraging to hear about some of the initiatives Pat mentioned
14:37:46  jramsden  I'm here in the chat room as well.
14:38:05  Bill Campbell  It was great to hear Pres of NAIS stating theimporance of things I've been hearing and reading among edTech folkslately.
14:38:15  lauriebartels  like the concept of japanese rounds toschools. how do we get our heads to let us do rounds of schools as aregular, ongoing part of our practice?
14:38:19  alfredtwo  I find out about these sessions on Twitter. Is there an RSS feed I should follow for early info?
14:38:54  Jill Brown  ISTE's NECC is dealing with the same issues RE keynotes and presenters.
14:38:57  arvind  Alfredtwo our Google Calendar is here: http://edtechtalk.com/calendar
14:39:06  Bill Campbell  I hope he can be a conduit to get that on theradar of heads and other admins.  This isn't tech stuff but when itcomes from a "techie" I don't think it is always valued (even if thattechie is on the admin team.)
14:39:45  lauriebartels  arvind are you talking about ken robinson's talk?
14:39:50  Bill Campbell  I meant it is NOT always valued when it comes through a techie.  (y typing is poor today.)
14:39:59  alex.ragone  Bill -- NP. Thanks.
14:40:12  sarah h  one reason it is hard to "get around" is because weare providing education in 45 minute "doses" everyday rather thanchunking.  I'm thinkingback to the discussion on ISENET right now.
14:40:35  sarah h  @ bill.  I totally agree
14:40:45  arvind  the amazing session from last year's POCC that I wanted to share was Tarun Tejpal on courage
14:40:52  athrockmorton  we still have the factory model of schools--terrible structure for what we should do now
14:41:50  jramsden  @alex @arvind; Have you all gone before the NYSAISheads conference to talk about this (always good to get to Mohonk twicea year:-)? I'm slated to do that hear in NC this January (and Pat willbe in attendance). If it goes well I'll share the results on ISENET.
14:42:27  Bill Campbell  The PC vs mainframe analogy was great.  (at least for me)
14:42:57  arvind  Bill, that's really clear, right?
14:43:04  arvind  for us techies, anyways :)
14:43:50  lauriebartels  alex, i agree completely with what you are saying.
14:44:02  alex.ragone  Thanks, Laurie.
14:44:43  sarah h  YES!
14:45:08  Jill Brown  We need to help kids learn how they learn andgive them opportunities to be in control of that with guidance fromtheir teachers.
14:45:18  lauriebartels  i am convinced that we are not going to changeour "traditional" independent schools from the inside. disrupting classhit home on that one.
14:46:08  sarah h  Laurie--you've been doing a lot of interesting thinking on this.
14:46:26  lauriebartels  thanks :-)
14:46:54  Bill Campbell  @laurie  Disrutive change is a hard sell whenwe appear to be doing right by our students from the point of view ofhow many IS are measured on the surface (college placement, etc).
14:46:55  Jill Brown  Good points!
14:47:16  Bill Campbell  I wonder if we need pressure from higher-ed for us to change or do we have to push higher-ed?
14:47:17  lauriebartels  i think independent schools can change but itdepends on the school, its culture, where in the country it is located,etc
14:47:44  lauriebartels  Bill, I agree. It's the "if it's not broke, why fix it" syndrome ;-)
14:48:00  athrockmorton  higher ed is more entrenched than IS world--they are pre-guttenberg
14:48:38  Bill Campbell  @laurie I've read much of DisruptingInnovation yet, but I guess that fits with the example of IBMdeveloping the PC completely outisde of the main business at the time.
14:49:00  Bill Campbell  (That's I haven't read much of Disrupting Class.  Boy, I really can't type today.)
14:49:16  sarah h  @albert yes.  I think about higher ed   in how many areas is a phD needed except to get a university job?
14:49:27  Jill Brown  Jenifer Fox would be good. Author of "Your Child's Strengths"
14:49:29  lauriebartels  I am fascinated by the Greenwich Village High School that is starting up next Sept.
14:49:35  specialkrb  yoo hoo!
14:49:49  alex.ragone  Hi SPECIALKRB!
14:50:00  lauriebartels  I'll check with Fred to find out who you are talking about!
14:50:04  arvind  hi karen!
14:50:15  jramsden  Scott McLeod? From...http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/
14:50:15  arvind  you missed the show! but we're in postshow
14:50:17  alex.ragone  How to pull admins into the conversation.
14:50:22  lauriebartels  Are there any folks at schools in Europe, Finland, Japan who could be interviewed?
14:50:23  specialkrb  andrew is listneing too
14:50:38  sarah h  Scott would be good--he could talk about higher ed stuff too
14:51:03  athrockmorton  I want to hear from an IS graduate who isworking in a "future" industry --someone who understands what the newworkplace is like
14:51:05  Jill Brown  Don Knezek
14:51:19  sarah h  If you interviewed a few, they might want to listen to each other and then get drawn in
14:51:27  lauriebartels  What about someone folks from Google or othersimilar type businesses who are also doing stuff in education?
14:51:28  arvind  Scott McLeod on the show a few weeks ago: http://edtechtalk.com/21cl_84
14:51:40  jramsden  Opps...missed that one...
14:51:49  Bill Campbell  Someone from Lucas Foundation?
14:51:53  sarah h  hey, I listened to that show and still seconded Jason.  Don't tell
14:52:07  Deirdre Harrison  Anyone using grad students onsite, who are getting their teaching  degrees online?
14:52:10  Jill Brown  some of Obama's new admin staffers RE Technology
14:52:13  arvind  ha ha, Sarah. Been there, done thart
14:52:17  lauriebartels  this has been delightful! nice to be able to"visit" with you during the day. usually we listen over the weekends.
14:52:18  Bill Campbell  Next show at 1:00 PM EST?
14:52:22  arvind  Jill, great idea!

19:47:45  wingsonwater03  twitter vs AIM. Which is better for educators?
19:47:48  alicebarr  HI Sarah!
19:47:50  bobsprankle  sarah!
19:47:58  alicebarr  @wings I would say Twitter
19:48:05  sheila  TWitter
19:48:05  mrsdurff  i use both wings
19:48:06  arvind  wingsonwater no doubt Twitter, because it's so easy to grow your community and read, read, read
19:48:11  cheryloakes~winter is here  Hello all, welcome and hope you enjoy this worldly virtual conversation.
19:48:17  arvind  AIM is a different tool, for chatting, not microblogging
19:48:25  bobsprankle  @wings.. dif. types of reasons to use both... but twitter so great
19:48:30  Sarah S  Big bonus for having a snow "night" at UMA - I can listen live!
19:48:32  Kern  very different tools
19:48:40  mrsdurff  i use twitter with colleagues and meebo with students/parents
19:48:45  Kern  hey Sarah
19:48:47  cheryloakes~winter is here  Yeah Sarah, what a bonus.
19:49:06  cheryloakes~winter is here  oh, good idea Durff,
19:49:12  mrsdurff  is it snowing yet?
19:49:19  Sarah S  Twitter over AIM for connecting with other educators
19:49:22  alicebarr  Mix of snow and ice
19:49:38  mrsdurff  bbbrrrrrrrrrrrr
19:49:39  Sarah S  Kids - I tend to use iChat.
19:49:51  mrsdurff  i use Skype too
19:50:00  mrsdurff  a few students have it
19:50:02  alicebarr  @Durff Maybe no school tomorrow
19:50:07  mrsdurff  which is great
19:50:20  mrsdurff  i really could use a day off
19:50:28  alicebarr  Me too!
19:50:29  Kern  @alice oooo don't jinx it ;)
19:50:30  mrsdurff  hi peggy
19:50:40  alicebarr  Ooops sorry !
19:51:01  mrsdurff  coffee refill
19:51:06  PeggyG  Having computer issues :-( changed computers and crossing fingers

19:51:17  bobsprankle  @alice... lol
19:51:50  Kern  :D is that a good luck charm?
19:51:54  alicebarr  I think EVO was the first place I discovered collaboration
19:52:08  alicebarr  @ Kern Bob said so...
19:52:16  sheila  Power in networks. Several of you helped out with ourkeychain idea for our NH conference. Including Carla!  Thanks to all!

19:53:37  PeggyG  I just ignore the superpokes, etc. :-)
19:53:43  alicebarr  @Kern what is lifestream?
19:53:53  Paula S.  I'm going to try it -
19:54:25  sheila  Ok, now the big question for all - How much time do you spend on the computer?
19:54:43  PeggyG  I found it helped me to create a Pageflakes page with RSS feeds from my Nings to keep track of them.
19:54:45  cheryloakes~winter is here  8-10 hours a day I think.
19:54:56  alicebarr  @PeggyG Great idea!
19:54:59  Kern  all your feeds go to one place, twitter, status, etc
19:55:07  PeggyG  12-16 hours a day for me on my computer
19:55:10  Kern  trying to find the link
19:55:10  bobsprankle  that's great idea, peggy

20:04:36  cheryloakes~winter is here  sure thing Sharon
20:04:47  instructorcloud  Any advice - I'm looking to change fromteaching adults to teaching at the High School level. I only have aBusiness Degree - do not have an Education Degree. Also, for somereason, I would really prefer to teach in the inner city - our schooldistrict is struggling as many inner city districts are. Am I crazy?
20:04:58  instructorcloud  (I teach software classes)
20:05:13  bobsprankle  if you want inner city, you'll have NO problem, instructor
20:05:27  mrsdurff  yes you are crazy, but which one of us is not?
20:05:40  alicebarr  @Durff :)
20:05:40  instructorcloud  Bob - that's what one would think. I had aninterview cancelled because the ENTIRE district has a hiring freezeright now!!!
20:05:43  mrsdurff  have you looked at the Kipp Schools?
20:05:47  instructorcloud  So I'll have to wait
20:06:00  mrsdurff  no i don't think so
20:06:02  bobsprankle  oh man @instructor... crazy times
20:06:15  instructorcloud  Mrs Duff. LOL
20:06:17  mrsdurff  bob is a crazy driver
20:06:18  PeggyG  @instructorcloud-the challenge for teaching in HS is the "highly qualified" requirement from NCLB
20:06:30  instructorcloud  what is NCLB?
20:06:35  mrsdurff  that is public
20:06:45  mrsdurff  there are so many other options
20:07:03  alicebarr  @instructor Maybe there's an online opportunity for you?
20:07:04  PeggyG  No Child Left Behind
20:07:07  sheila  @Carla - Years ago, I heard Brazil was moving to open source for the whole country. Has that happened?
20:07:10  mrsdurff  Kipp, charter, parochial, private, etc
20:07:40  carlaarena  not really, but there's a movement
20:07:44  mrsdurff  there they go again talking food
20:07:49  instructorcloud  alice - online? meaning elearning?
20:08:04  alicebarr  @instructor yes
20:08:20  instructorcloud  sheila - what is Open Source? same as in programming?

20:08:37  sheila  Yes, open source programs

20:08:57  alicebarr  Sharon I am listening in iTunes
20:08:58  mrsdurff  your computer will do the rest
20:08:59  sharonbetts  open source is software that is free and available to be edited
20:09:08  instructorcloud  I had to click the Windows MEdia icon, the black icon didn't work
20:09:24  cheryloakes~winter is here  You have heard of k12onlineconference, well in January the Electronic Village online ishappening.http://academics.smcvt.edu/cbauer-ramazani/TESOL/EVOL/portal.htm
