It's Elementary #30, Wikis in Education

Post-Show description: 

JeffUtechtIt’s Elementary interviewed Jeff Utech from the Thinking Stick.  After a roller coaster ride on the Ustream train and some very interesting audio looping :-), we were able to salvage the last 20 minutes of the conversation.  Thanks to all that showed your patience and support during our live show and especially to Jeff Utech for his spirit of collaboration and a great example of an edtech superstar.  Make sure to check out all the great links in the Text Chat

 21:28:33  guest  : after, say, 5 months.
 21:28:52  guest  : no prob with people who are dedicated
 21:28:56  jutecht  : @guest managing the wiki can be difficult. Especially with students
 21:29:06  guest  : @jeff (@guest is dave cormier)
 21:29:22  guest  : loop!
 21:29:28  Scott Shelhart  : looped as soon as you answer the call

 21:30:19  Kimberley  : wikis in education
 21:30:19  jutecht  : Skype upgrade for PC a week or so ago.
 21:30:22  guest  : @jeff yeah... have you ever tried to use categories in something like mediawiki and have the kids understand the higher level org... or just links?
 21:30:27  Durff  : chat party
 21:30:47  guest  : like, say, replicating what you would do with a CMS
 21:30:48  Kimberley  : everyone post their site of the day here
 21:30:54  Scott Shelhart  : can we ditch ustream and try shoutcast?
 21:31:05  guest  : @scott we certainly can
 21:31:07  Durff  : i think we should all have one big beach party
 21:31:17  James Sigler  : Is the wikicode for Wikipedia the same as all other wikicode?
 21:31:21  AliceMercer  : Check it out folks
 21:31:21  jutecht  : @dave no mediawiki with kids is difficult I think do to the wiki markup
 21:31:27  guest  : @scott you and I could start a competing show RIGHT NOW and make snarky commentary
 21:31:32  matt montagne  : @@guest..it looks like moodle 2 will incorporate some type of media wiki integrations...
 21:31:59  AliceMercer  : You getting both of us?
 21:32:03  guest  : @matt but why would we... that's my question. the wiki made SUPER sense before hte simplified CMS... but why would we choose it now
 21:32:11  Scott Shelhart  : I just got a new headset...that would be a great way to break it in!:D
 21:32:37  Scott Shelhart  : i hear background noise....not sure who>
 21:32:39  James Sigler  : @jutecht I did wikibooks with my third graders last year.  Couldn't do more than text because of the markup lang

 21:33:13  Scott Shelhart  : ctlaltdel
 21:33:27  mdipaola  : @Alice what kind of sound card do you have? you can probably stream jeff through that

 21:34:04  matt montagne  : @guest...and the authentication to one environment (moodle)...
 21:34:36  AliceMercer  : You all hear Jeff now?
 21:34:42  jutecht  : moodle wiki is not good tried to use it with 5th grade...disaster

 21:36:33  James Sigler  : I use Wikispaces with mine.  Although Pbwiki still pretty easy
 21:36:44  Durff  : i hear jeff
 21:36:51  matt montagne  : @jeffu...yeah, I had the same experience...moodle 's wiki is very old..moodle 2 will have some type of media wiki integrations which should give moodle users some more options

 21:36:56  Maureen  : who is talking?
 21:37:01  Durff  : and unflustered
 21:37:02  AliceMercer  : Jeff Utecht
 21:37:06  JoseRodriguez  : I can hear ustream now
 21:37:15  Scott Shelhart  : wetpaint....I'll check that out.  Have only used PBwiki so far
 21:37:16  Durff  : love this guy
 21:37:23  mdipaola  : theeere we go.
 21:37:27  matt montagne  : wikis are definitlely easy, but when u start talking about students using wikis in multiple classes and with multiple teachers, then you'll want some coordination
 21:37:38  Scott Shelhart  : How did you fix the streaming problem?
 21:37:40  Durff  : but only one of three cohosts present
 21:37:45  JoseRodriguez  : no chances getting ustream super crasher?
 21:38:04  Durff  : be nice
 21:38:10  AliceMercer  : I am not using VAC, just pickign up jeff from my speakers, lol
 21:38:19  James Sigler  : @Scott Wetpaint front page is a little busy, but it has a template for class web pages
 21:38:26  matt montagne  : does wetpaint allow file storage like wikispaces?? The last time I checked it did not
 21:38:27  Durff  : we did a dance scott
 21:38:46  Scott Shelhart  : Aww... and no video tonightlol
 21:38:57  Scott Shelhart  : lol
 21:39:21  JoseRodriguez  : just glad Obama's speech is over... looks like he jinxed us tonight
 21:39:35  matt montagne  : wikispaces allows 2GB of file storage with free educator account which is cool...
 21:39:42  mdipaola  : lol. phone.
 21:39:51  Durff  : i think you are right jose
 21:39:57  Scott Shelhart  : Can I get a educator accout as a preservice teacher?
 21:40:02  James Sigler  : How do you handle students adding to wiki at the same time?
 21:40:21  matt montagne  : @James...that is the downside...
 21:40:23  JoseRodriguez  : I am undecided between wikispaces and wetpaint.
 21:40:30  mdipaola  : so here's my question: why the focus on wikis? why not use forums
 21:40:35  Maureen  : They have to be working on separate pages...
 21:40:36  derrallg  : @scott for wikispaces you just have to say it is used for some aspect of k12
 21:40:41  Durff  : they can edit different pages james
 21:40:45  Maureen  : yes
 21:40:50  mdipaola  : we can hear jose!
 21:40:53  Durff  : hear him
 21:40:54  ericjp  : everything is excellent now
 21:40:58  Scott Shelhart  : Thanks....I do have an .edu email address I can use.
 21:41:03  chriswherley  : all is good with audio
 21:41:13  derrallg  : @james my students are in groups that usually work together at the same time
 21:41:14  AliceMercer  : well, it's a duct tape solution, lol
 21:41:18  matt montagne  : @Jose...for me it is the file storage of  wikispaces that I like...
 21:41:22  Durff  : for now chris
 21:41:42  chriswherley  : :)
 21:42:01  derrallg  : Wetpaint is aesthetically the nicest but for simplicity it is difficult for elementary students compared to wikispaces or PBwiki
 21:42:40  Scott Shelhart  : @derrallg  What age students do you work with?
 21:43:05  derrallg  : @scott for 4 years 4th/5th and for one year 6th
 21:43:52  derrallg  : I tried PBwiki my first year and shared wetpaint with my high students and settled on wikispaces because of tracking student work which the others have now
 21:44:14  Scott Shelhart  : OK.  I wonder what age is appropriate to start using wikis in the classroom.
 21:44:24  derrallg  : @alice you can create your own accounts on wikispaces now uploading an excel
 21:44:33  PeggyG  : that's a great question Scott
 21:44:43  kcaise  : i agree @alice. difficult to embed documents in a wetpaint.
 21:45:08  matt montagne  : what happens when a student has 23 classes where the different teachers are using wikis...there is a good chance, if there isn't coordination, that they could end up with 23 different logins...
 21:45:14  PeggyG  : I agree Kim! I had a really hard time embedding documents on Wetpaint
 21:45:22  James Sigler  : I bulk uploaded my students directly to my wikispace this year to create student accounts
 21:45:30  JoseRodriguez  : I control access and yes.... 13 is the "rule"
 21:45:53  Durff  : exactly
 21:46:01  Maureen  : @matt I have several wikis my kids use one login and they request permission to join wiki.
 21:46:01  Scott Shelhart  : I read something last week about COPA expiring.  Any truth to that?
 21:46:12  mdipaola  : totally hate COPA.
 21:46:14  Kimberley  : I like jottit for ease of use
 21:46:15  matt montagne  : google's wiki is another option, especially if your school has a google apps for education network
 21:46:23  derrallg  : @scott that's what I thought had happened too
 21:46:38  Scott Shelhart  : http://info.law.indiana.edu/news/page/normal/9699.html
 21:47:22  JoseRodriguez  : I created wetpaint... accounts.. going with gmail + student name go around
 21:47:30  Maureen  : @matt I like google sites but have trouble embedding
 21:47:31  James Sigler  : @Matt Good point.  Multiple logins is going to be a bigger problem as we use more and more online tools
 21:48:30  JoseRodriguez  : we shouldn't get hung up on the tool.... but on the use.
 21:48:41  mdipaola  : @Jose agreed.
 21:48:55  James Sigler  : Oh, like that widget
 21:49:06  mdipaola  : @Jsigler would really really really love to see OpenID take off
 21:49:09  JoseRodriguez  : I do like the video feature
 21:49:10  mdipaola  : OH WOW!
 21:49:16  mdipaola  : that sounded like a 24 phone
 21:49:19  jutecht  : [email protected]
 21:49:26  derrallg  : mostly text
 21:49:27  Durff  : a who phone?
 21:49:30  matt montagne  : @Jose...I completely agree, but as a school, especially  when multiple teachers use this stuff, there has to be some coordinated use...
 21:49:35  derrallg  : not taking with many subpages
 21:49:48  JoseRodriguez  : @matt true
 21:49:51  mdipaola  : @Durff popular TV show.
 21:50:01  Durff  : i have no tv
 21:50:11  Durff  : thank goodness
 21:50:23  James Sigler  : @mdipaola True.  Like OpenID, but may still be a problem for under 13.
 21:50:25  Durff  : imagine all that i could break then
 21:50:44  Durff  : jeff is so good!
 21:50:55  Durff  : i appreciate him so much
