21:18:07 selfreliantllc: Ah hi - I'm a small e-learning startup in Raleigh, NC
21:18:08 PeggyG: I'm a retired elementary principal and university teacher education instructor who loves to continue learning!
21:18:19 SusanEttenheim: ok- who has a question.. I'm not the only one allowed to ask questions :)
21:18:41 PeggyG: sorry I was late--need to listen a bit before I have questions
21:18:50 SusanEttenheim: welcome self.. .so glad you found us!
21:19:04 SusanEttenheim: are any of you using the new templates yet?
21:20:36 selfreliantllc: Hmm, not sure what brought me here actually, I thought it was something about GoogleDocuments
21:21:13 Sheri Edwards: Yes, the templates are wonderful-- look professional http://msedwards.pbworks.com/Middle-School-Survey
21:21:40 SusanEttenheim: yes indeed do you hear the Google conversation! Do you have questions!
21:21:47 Sheri Edwards: I don't understand what the students are doing Susan???
21:22:00 thompsonteaches: Not using them yet - trying to figure out how our middle school students or upper elementary kids can use templates
21:22:13 cponce: Sheri - That is really nice looking.
21:22:30 PeggyG: thanks for your survey link Sheri! It looks so professional!!
21:22:40 Sheri Edwards: Thanks to google templates!
21:22:42 selfreliantllc: Actually I don't hear anything - just the chat room
21:23:01 SusanEttenheim: ahh self... you need to click on edtechtalk A to listen
21:23:12 PeggyG: I've always used SurveyMonkey but that is expensive and I might be ready to try this.
21:23:40 cponce: PeggyG, are you from New Mexico?
21:23:49 SusanEttenheim: sheri - if you mean my question... each student receives a progress report
21:23:55 PeggyG: I've used Google surveys before but not the templates
21:24:01 PeggyG: No I'm from AZ
21:24:05 Sheri Edwards: Thanks, Susan
21:24:23 cponce: ok. Google has a survey tool?
21:24:45 ericjp: scripts rule! same way I batch edit photos. go scripts
21:24:50 PeggyG: yes it's Google Forms
21:24:54 Sheri Edwards: cponce -- google has "forms" which are like surveys; turns answers in to spreadsheet
21:25:09 cponce: oh. ok
21:25:32 SusanEttenheim: ok who has a question? How often we actually get the Google people here! Thank you for joining us!
21:25:43 thompsonteaches: I do! What applications could you suggest for primary teachers?
21:25:58 SusanEttenheim: Say more please...
21:26:06 SusanEttenheim: Do you use Google Docs?
21:26:07 PeggyG: are there any templates for scheduling classes--that was always such a challenge when I was a principal
21:26:32 thompsonteaches: Are there templates the panel could suggest for primary teachers?
21:26:38 SusanEttenheim: ahh ok!
21:27:02 ericjp: oh, I've got a question. Is GoogleDocs integrated with GoogleGroups?
21:27:14 ericjp: can I share docs with a Google Group?
21:27:40 PeggyG: can the results you receive from a survey in spreadsheet format also be converted into graphs? that would be great for primary students
21:28:03 cponce: I used Google Groups last spring with my classes and it doesn't connect (share) with any other application.
21:28:24 carolteach4: I had the students use the SpeakUpAmerica survey to write to the President.
21:29:05 SusanEttenheim: cponce say more please?
21:29:07 PeggyG: are all of these docs created from templates embeddable on wikis?
21:29:43 SusanEttenheim: hi gordon welcome!
21:30:50 Sheri Edwards: I'd like to use Google dons in grades 5-7, but our tech department is concerned about email security; do we need to sign up for email to get to Google Docs?
21:31:02 PeggyG: I've been browsing through the various templates and didn't realize there were so many for schools/teachers. This is awesome!
21:31:03 SusanEttenheim: no sheri you don't
21:31:12 SusanEttenheim: isn't it amazing!
21:31:21 ericjp: awesome question bro
21:31:33 SusanEttenheim: cponce could you say more about your question?
21:31:53 Sheri Edwards: how do you sign up for google docs then for the kids?
21:32:12 carolteach4: @sheriEdwards - If you get google apps for you school - your own domain- you simply upload all of the kids, and the app gives them a google email which you can limit so they can only email others in the domain.
21:32:16 Sheri Edwards: Here is the page where the LEAD goes for letters to the president: http://www.letters2president.org/classes/2152-ms-edwards
21:32:18 cponce: I used Google Group to connect students in Arkansas, Texas, and New Mexico. I could not integrate other google apps with the Group app. i.e. the Calendar application. I'm not sure how else to put the problem. But no big deal.
21:32:35 SusanEttenheim: thanks cponce
21:32:44 ericjp: right. I just wish I could 'Share' with Google Groups and not individual e-mail addresses
21:32:49 Sheri Edwards: Here is the student letter: http://www.letters2president.org/letters/335-our-world-is-at-crisis
21:33:03 carolteach4: You could also just download the Google doc as a word document and then embed it.
21:33:29 Lisa W: You can upload files to the newsgroup
21:33:33 SusanEttenheim: ahhh ericjp did you hear that? coming soon!
21:33:49 ericjp: hooraaay!
21:34:40 Sheri Edwards: How much is google apps for schools?
21:34:57 Sheri Edwards: How much does google apps cost for schools?
21:35:01 SusanEttenheim: free sheri! we did it
21:35:09 SusanEttenheim: you just have to apply and show your school info
21:35:15 SusanEttenheim: it's great!
21:35:42 Sheri Edwards: carolteach4 -- thanks for the info! susan-- thanks -- we've got to do this!
21:35:45 carolteach4: I found the process of uploading a whole team of students (100) very easy. I first uploaded the green team. I was able to select all for an email list. Then I uploaded another team (100 additional students) but I could find no easy way to make a separate email group for them without entering each individual name into the group.
21:36:42 ericjp: it's not THAT bad, sure. it just could be easier.
21:36:44 Lisa W: Thanks Ronald, Valerie, and Michael
21:36:45 Sheri Edwards: thank you so much! I love google
21:36:48 SusanEttenheim: carol would be a great resource for you sheri
21:36:48 PeggyG: fantastic new information! thanks!
21:36:49 carolteach4: I wish there was an easier way to get in touch with Google help. Personal help.
21:36:51 ericjp: and automagic. New people would be added as they join!
21:37:18 SusanEttenheim: carol the google groups have been very helpful to me!
21:37:53 carolteach4: At Sheri Edwards: Google Apps is free. All we had to pay was $10.00 for our domain name.
21:38:03 SusanEttenheim: yes that's what we did too
21:38:24 SusanEttenheim: we're erhsnyc.org so we bought erhsnyc.net for our Google Apps
21:38:35 PeggyG: can you add Google apps to a Moodle site?
21:39:28 PeggyG: Love hearing from Martha again! Heard her voice and recognized it from the Gator Radio show
21:39:45 Sheri Edwards: carol -- I am grammasheri on twitter
21:40:31 carolteach4: @Sheri - I'm cstanley
21:41:06 SusanEttenheim: have any of you travelled to Japan - with or without students?
21:41:25 carolteach4: @Sheri- I'll see if I can follow you later
21:41:31 Sheri Edwards: Peggy Moodle meets google apps: http://education.zdnet.com/?p=2202
21:41:49 ericjp: China, but not Japan
21:42:10 SusanEttenheim: oh last word from our Google guests.. http://edu.googleapps.com that has a great community for teachers to work with others and share ideas!
21:42:11 Sheri Edwards: The Journal: google apps in moodle --- http://thejournal.com/articles/2009/02/20/google-apps-for-education-comi...
21:42:26 Sheri Edwards: thanks carol
21:42:51 SusanEttenheim: do you have Japanese in your schools? I wish we did...
21:42:53 Lisa W: notice the differences in respect for family and elders between Japan and US
21:43:19 SusanEttenheim: tony - how is life with you this year?
21:43:24 Sheri Edwards: This sounds like a wonderful trip for the students. What did they found most interesting?
21:43:26 SusanEttenheim: what are you teaching now?
21:43:44 ericjp: did they have to eat anything funny?
21:44:12 PeggyG: thanks for that link Sheri re Moodle-do you know if that is available now?
21:44:47 ericjp: http://www.womenwelcomewomen.org.uk/
21:45:19 PeggyG: @ericjp great project!
21:46:01 SusanEttenheim: thanks ericjp
21:46:58 Lisa W: Did they notice the differences in respect for family and elders between Japan and US? Was there a student of the same age with the families they stayed with?
21:47:20 PeggyG: that's a really funny story!!
21:47:29 ericjp: HAHA
21:47:49 Sheri Edwards: This is the group that is working with google: http://moodlerooms.com/
21:48:13 carolteach4: Oh, my gosh! That is so funny - maybe wasn't funny then, but in retrospect.
21:48:23 cponce: bidet - they have those in Europe also.
21:48:27 Sheri Edwards: Did they attend a school? What did they find as similar and what different?
21:50:10 carolteach4: I think our media has a lot to do with the lowered level of respect for elders in the US.
21:50:25 ericjp: Aha.
21:50:43 ericjp: carolteach4: in what way?
21:51:31 carolteach4: I think the media often portrays young kids and teens pulling fast ones on adults in the ads and making the elders seem less than intelligent -
21:53:10 carolteach4: I wish I could quote a different ad, but I can't. I also think there is an expectation of entitlement generated by ads talking about kids running up their parent's cell phone bills - and how grandparents need to pay for the grandkids' college.
21:53:42 carolteach4: Have the students taken photographs and uploaded them to a site where we can see them????
21:53:45 SusanEttenheim: I wonder what tv is like in Japan
21:53:52 Martha: facebook!
21:53:55 Martha: XD
21:54:04 carolteach4: Oh, I
21:54:06 SusanEttenheim: what is xd martha?
21:54:19 Martha: its a laughing face
21:54:19 carolteach4: I'm still resisting Facebook and MySpace.
21:54:26 Paul Allison: http://ozarkwp.ning.com/page/digital-stories
21:54:27 SusanEttenheim: ahhh
21:54:29 SusanEttenheim: tnx
21:55:14 carolteach4: What a wonderful experience for the students and the host families.
21:55:29 PeggyG: You should try Facebook @carolteach4--lots of fantastic ed tech folks to connect with there
21:55:37 SusanEttenheim: so many topics to talk about !
21:55:59 carolteach4: What a great show you guys pulled together for the middle of the summer!
21:56:10 Martha: I'll sift through the pictures and see if I can get any up on Youth Voices...
21:56:12 Larry: www.ozarkwp.ning.com
21:56:24 PeggyG: that would be great Martha!
21:56:33 SusanEttenheim: thanks Martha!
21:56:43 SusanEttenheim: carolteach4 - so much going on!
21:56:51 ericjp: oh why ty larry
21:56:54 Paul Allison: http://ozarkwp.ning.com/page/digital-stories
21:56:56 carolteach4: Thanks, Martha. Have you ever used Shutterfly or Flicker?
21:57:00 Sheri Edwards: I'm on facebook, but really do not like the interface --- all the games and "what kind of thunderstorm are you" things drive me crazy! I turn them off. Remember to change all your settings because facebook can use your photo in ads if you don't say No.
21:57:11 david: martha and kwaku
21:57:15 david: i would love to see your pictures too
21:57:22 Martha: ok
21:57:26 kwaku: k
21:57:40 Sheri Edwards: thank you, martha and kwaku -- love hearing you discuss your experiences.
21:57:40 Martha: a lot of them are of food...
21:57:42 carolteach4: @Sheri- I have so much on my plate right now that Facebook will have to wait.
21:57:43 PeggyG: I agree Sheri! I ignore all of the games and widgets
21:57:44 Martha: lol
21:57:54 ericjp: thanks Martha, thanks kawku! :D
21:57:56 david: what about the food?
21:57:59 SusanEttenheim: hi gail! welcome - how's your summer?
21:58:04 PeggyG: food is a universal language :-)
21:58:09 ericjp: *kwaku
21:58:10 Martha: food is great
21:58:15 Martha: ^_^
21:58:29 Gail Desler: Hi Susan - sorry I'm joing so late
21:58:40 SusanEttenheim: glad you're here!
21:59:12 SusanEttenheim: http://ozarkwp.ning.com/page/digital-stories
21:59:20 SusanEttenheim: have you seen these projects?
21:59:22 carolteach4: What is the listserve link? Can anyone join?
21:59:38 SusanEttenheim: it is a listserv for the writing project
21:59:55 Gail Desler: Yes - Larry rocks!
22:00:02 carolteach4: Oh, o.k. Is that on the ning?
22:00:11 SusanEttenheim: Paul - Gail - can anyone join that listserv?
22:00:19 PeggyG: that's such an important distinction--not technology institute but storytelling
22:00:30 SusanEttenheim: hi benny welcome!
22:00:36 SusanEttenheim: where and what do you teach?
22:00:39 Larry: http://docs.google.com/#folders/folder.0.0B6YtEVGMQiDIY2FlNmMwMTItNjY4YS...
22:00:40 PeggyG: you can get totally consumed by the technology and lose track of the story you want to tell
22:00:52 Keri: Yes, it was digital storytelling, but we are thinking that next year it might be a technology institute.
22:00:54 benny: Hello from Humboldt Canada
22:01:00 Gail Desler: Hmm...not sure, Susan. They might need to be NWP folks
