19:42:08 Leeanne_HK -> -EdTechTalk: Yeh - Wes left us a load of rain.... has finally stopped raining for the first time in 2 weeks
19:42:26 Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: I was just talking to my 8th graders about that. I had them use the digital tattoo site to get an idea of where they are in this process. Hard for them to change their thinking...
19:43:20 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: had to open itunes to listen this time, hmm...
19:43:33 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: hi cyndidannerkuhn, Ben, Dave:-),

19:45:57 julieofarc -> -EdTechTalk: hi there
19:45:59 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: I showed it to my college class, 180 future teachers saw it and read your dads post about your video
19:46:23 Leeanne_HK -> -EdTechTalk: People at 21cHK were wowed by Sarah's video .... caused a big discussion
19:46:41 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: hi stacy!!
19:47:03 mrichme -> -EdTechTalk: HI Stacy
19:47:12 stacy_alvarez -> -EdTechTalk: hello all!
19:47:36 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: very cool Cyndi

19:48:01 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Stacy!
19:48:05 LeeMo -> -EdTechTalk: Hi, thanks
19:48:19 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: It made for an amazing dicussion!
19:49:01 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: evening Cpriest
19:49:03 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Crystal
19:49:10 mrichme -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Crystal
19:49:15 cpriest -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Alice and Mike
19:49:18 Sarah S -> -EdTechTalk: Hey there Crystal
19:49:32 cpriest -> -EdTechTalk: Hey Sarah!
19:50:22 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.speedofcreativity.org/
19:50:38 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: is Wes' blog, you can see Sarah's video
19:50:59 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: Our middle school watched it, but we were instructed not to use the accompanying educational materials. I cannot understand why. There was nothing but excellent literary strategies there.
19:51:42 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: evening Dorie and Kate
19:51:55 Dorie Glynn (doriedance) -> -EdTechTalk: hi all
19:52:14 Kate -> -EdTechTalk: Hi!
19:52:20 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: The key here is the parent has been in involved!!
19:52:30 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: yes, parent involvement
19:52:37 bwoo -> -EdTechTalk: What is the YouTube tag for Sarah's video?
19:52:39 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: this is great! (Sarah wrote that)
19:53:06 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: too bad the network nazi's aren't listening to this
19:53:07 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTBnApR7gI0
19:53:24 bwoo -> -EdTechTalk: Got it. Thanks.
19:56:49 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: I hardly ever read the comments on AOL. They are so ignorant.
19:57:40 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: Oh, Steven Krashen. I think that's how you spell it. I used a lot of his reseach when I was getting my endoresement for teaching TESOL.
19:58:35 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: Here's Stephen Krashen's website: http://www.sdkrashen.com/
19:59:59 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: wow just amazing, I can't wait to have my students listen to this presentation now.
20:01:06 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: I think my Yoda is Wes!!
20:01:39 MelissaM -> -EdTechTalk: If Sarah can do this, my high school students can totally do this!  way to go, Sarah!
20:01:40 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: cyndidannerkuhn, I agree
20:02:09 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: I am so using this with staff
20:02:18 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: Sarah you could come visit you grandparents in Manhattan and come talk to my class at Kansasa State, talk you dad into that!!
20:02:44 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: that is a great idea cyndi - we'd love to do that :-)
20:02:54 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: Alice,and Cyndi  I wonder how teachers were trained to teach writing, and video with outlines which can be restrictive to the thinkers.
20:03:09 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: (Sarah has stepped away from the mic for a minute)
20:03:48 Cathy E -> -EdTechTalk: How old is Sarah (sorry I missed that)
20:03:55 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: she is 10 in 4th grade
20:04:00 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: College kids, these future teachers for the most part, are stress, between working and class and most often take the esy way out, SADLY
20:04:05 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: hi CathyE :-)
20:04:33 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: I am just amazed at how much better presentations are created in PhotoStory3 with recorded narration as opposed to creating a PowerPoint presentation. The kids really have to understand the content to effectively narrate the slides and pictures in their presentation.
20:04:36 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: hello hsonghai
20:04:50 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: yes carolteach4, there is a different energy
20:05:11 hsonghai -> -EdTechTalk: Hello everyone
20:05:22 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: I am all for banning PowerPoint!!
20:05:31 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: welcome to this great show with Wes Fryer and his daughter Sarah, (10)
20:05:37 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: there are so many better ways to do those things these days
20:05:38 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Nancyvonw, evening
20:05:54 nancyvonw -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Cheryl!
20:06:05 Cathy E -> -EdTechTalk: How doe Sarah's teacher feel about her special abilities?  Is the teacher tech savy?
20:06:25 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: But you are a parent that is involved with their childs learning, wish all parents were like you
20:06:35 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: here is the 2007 frontline: Growing up online http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/kidsonline/
20:06:49 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: this is a great series
20:06:52 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: do you have a link to info about that series?
20:06:54 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: here is the new report coming in 2010: Digital Nation http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/
20:07:04 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: what is the link to that new NPR series
20:07:34 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: commonsensemedia.org
20:08:08 Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: I like commonsense media. I just put one of their videos on my blog for MS kids and linked to their site. Told the kids to tell their parents to check it out.
20:08:15 Leeanne_HK -> -EdTechTalk: gotta go folks - thanks for stimulating discussion. will catch podcast for rest. Have a great Friday
20:08:26 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: bye leanne
20:08:32 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: I heard that yesterday afternoon on NPR. They were talking about the disconnect and about how many professors of "education" have never stepped inside a public school classroom. One of the women being interviewed said, "It's criminal."
20:08:36 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: this might be it http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113349924
20:09:00 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks cyndi
20:09:06 stacy_alvarez -> -EdTechTalk: getting students really excited
20:09:06 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: yes thanks
20:09:21 wfryer -> -EdTechTalk: Hi hsonghai :-)
20:09:24 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: Teaching is a joy for the most part, the hard part is when you know you can't help a kid in a bad situation
20:09:28 Cathy E -> -EdTechTalk: helping kids understand that they can lean so much if they take responsibility for some of their own learning
20:09:51 Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: Accidently logged myself out looking for the link...http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113223026
20:10:09 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: thanks maureen for the link
20:10:26 DaveChamberlain -> -EdTechTalk: Politics
20:10:31 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: I think the hardest thing is picking and choosing what to teach. There is so much information out there that it's hard to absorb it all and bring it back. Maybe, I'm approaching it incorrectly, and I should let the kids have more choice in what we study.
20:10:34 Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: It's hardest for me when kids come in to my class who have given up on themselves.
20:10:41 nancyvonw -> -EdTechTalk: I agree with cyndidannerkuhn
20:11:12 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: and maybe even not having access to the technology, I really feel for teachers in that situation
20:11:52 Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: Actually 8th grade boys are the hard for me sometimes... they do grow up- sooner or later
20:12:26 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: what a great question!!  
20:12:27 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: I really like Kathy's response. We have to go more in that direction.
20:12:39 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: Sarah is a master at questions.
20:12:39 DaveChamberlain -> -EdTechTalk: What is the hardest part TODAY?  YESTERDAY?  I think it changes every day.  It sometimes seems like a never-ending uphill climb to engage everyone, students and partents alike!
20:12:58 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: yes dave, that is the truth
20:13:24 MelissaM -> -EdTechTalk: Inspiring students to think outside of the box-- particularly the shackles of standardized testing.
20:13:48 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: Finally, it's time - time to meet the individual needs of such a diverse group of kids.
20:13:50 Sarah S -> -EdTechTalk: Bob, you are absolutely hysterically funny,
20:13:53 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: lol
20:13:58 nancyvonw -> -EdTechTalk: another hard thing is holding back, letting students discover, make mistakes- I often want to make it easier for them
20:13:58 stacy_alvarez -> -EdTechTalk: funny
20:14:05 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: Oh, Bob! a little comic relief. Just what we needed.
20:14:13 Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: When I taught K I saw a lot of those loose teeth... yeough!
20:14:15 MelissaM -> -EdTechTalk: 11th grade American literature
20:14:15 DaveChamberlain -> -EdTechTalk: BTW, WRT my Politics answer, I was thinking the internal politics of the school.
20:14:22 carolteach4 -> -EdTechTalk: I teach computer technology integration in grades 7 and 8.
20:14:26 Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: I teach gr 4-9 computer class
20:14:28 Cathy E -> -EdTechTalk: I am the tech person in  K-5 school in North Carolina (on the ocean)
20:14:30 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: college of education at Kansas State University, working with future teachers
20:14:36 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> -EdTechTalk: http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=389
20:14:43 stacy_alvarez -> -EdTechTalk: elementary 3-5 technology integration
20:14:45 cyndidannerkuhn -> -EdTechTalk: Kindergarden needs to get paid double
