19:41:29 angela maiers : WHO R U all?
19:41:31 PeggyG : don't you love this technology!!
19:41:31 wmchamberalin : Couldn't get the chat to show in Chrome on my MB so had to switch to Firefox.
19:41:40 PeggyG : I used Chrome tonight
19:41:46 angela maiers : How would you describe your work, your contributions, your talents?
19:41:54 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : I couldn't get chat in Chrome
19:42:01 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : On Flock and it is working.
19:42:12 wmchamberalin : @Peggy listening on Chrome :)
19:42:17 PeggyG : isn't that strange?? you just never know
19:42:23 MrT_Ro : First time I've been a part of something like this.
19:42:26 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Your success is about how often you reflect on the web.
19:42:51 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : That is so true
19:42:58 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Oh, MrT_Ro, this is a weekly happening at edtechtalk.com there are many shows. We get together and share, chat and listen. Enjoy.
19:43:06 PeggyG : that's such a great question to reflect on!
19:43:19 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : This is a great question.
19:43:25 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : I had to get over the fear of my online presence and take the risk of sharing my real self
19:43:37 PeggyG : me too Pat! and it took a long time!
19:43:54 datruss : stream rebuffering- my slow connection here drives me nuts.
19:43:58 @KathyPerret : Your wiki?
19:44:06 angela maiers : yes- can you share that link?
19:44:08 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Pat, you are right it is amazing h ow far we have come.
19:44:09 @KathyPerret : ok
19:44:16 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Hello Susan! Long time.
19:44:30 sroseman : hi there
19:44:36 @KathyPerret : Here is Angela link: http://digitalliteracyiv.wikispaces.com/
19:44:39 sroseman : yes, great to be back
19:44:41 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Thanks Kathy
19:44:45 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : I remember using a cartoon avatar only and I was afraid to comment here or on blogs or anywhere else
19:45:13 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : These are all great comments to share Pat!
19:45:18 angela maiers : Will be adding new content from today soon, still need to attribute a few more links..this is a work in progress. Give me a day to finish us!
19:45:32 MrT_Ro : Angela tweeted last night about how disappointed she was to still see people protecting their tweets.
19:45:43 angela maiers : mit persona.com
19:45:49 angela maiers : spezify.com
19:46:05 datruss : I still use my 'masked' image on Flickr.
19:46:09 PeggyG : http://memolane.com/index.html Have you discovered this site. It is a visual timeline that captures what you've done online forever connecting with twitter, facebook, flickr, picasa, youtube, etc. It's amazing to see yourself on that timeline!
19:46:25 @KathyPerret : Both those sites (persona & speczify) were amazing!
19:46:26 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Thanks Peggy, I hadn't seen this
19:46:55 PeggyG : I spent some time looking at photos I uploaded back in 2000 on Flickr. Amazing trip down memory lane
19:47:00 wmchamberalin : Is it really possible to be the same person online as off? Doesn't the medium require us to be "different"?
19:47:19 PeggyG : good question wmchamberlain
19:47:20 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Oh, Wmchamberalin, what a good question.
19:47:38 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Can I have a teacher persona and my own persona?
19:47:50 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : I think I feel more confident online now and I'm much quieter and shyer in real life
19:48:04 PeggyG : I decided I wanted just one persona--blending personal and professional
19:48:12 annebeninghof : just this week I blogged about Brain Prints - what kind of impressions are teachers leaving on their students' brains
19:48:18 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Yes Peggy, I am getting there.
19:48:34 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : O anne, Brain prints!
19:48:42 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : @Peggy I'm trying to blend the two
19:48:49 PeggyG : love that anne!
19:49:12 datruss : My original blog location is now dead, but it is in the internet archive (and unchangeable).
19:49:14 annebeninghof : thanks
19:49:16 MrT_Ro : Is there ever any hesitation by the kindergarten students' parents?
19:49:23 PeggyG : do you have a link for that blog post Anne?
19:50:10 annebeninghof : www.ideasforeducators.com/idea_blog
19:50:29 annebeninghof : www.ideasforeducators.com/idea_blog
19:50:42 annebeninghof : don't know why that isn't coming up correctly
19:50:58 PeggyG : David Jakes did an outstanding ISTE webinar yesterday about Twitter and talked about how important it was in creating his online footprint that he never says anything negative about people he works with--ever!
19:51:14 PeggyG : that link worked great Anne
19:51:24 angela maiers : Do you have the link to that, Peggy would love to hear!
19:51:27 PeggyG : it just doesn't all show up in the chat log
19:52:06 MrT_Ro : @royanlee recently blogged about how he and his class created criteria to determine whether a website was reliable or not http://spicylearning.wordpress.com
19:52:08 PeggyG : yes Angela-I'll send it to you later. He covered a lot of great twitter tools in the session--not a beginner's session :-)
19:52:13 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : We have a policy at home and at work: if you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all
19:52:27 angela maiers : Yes, Pat...just what my grandma used to say!
19:52:34 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Pat that is the best rule.
19:53:15 PeggyG : love your blog post about piclits Anne! That is one of my favorite tools. We had them as guests on our Classroom 2.0 LIVE show and they did an awesome demo/presentation.
19:54:05 PeggyG : http://live.classroom20.com/1/category/piclits/1.html
19:54:09 annebeninghof : We required our daughter to friend us as well. There were a few times when we had the same conversation!
19:54:23 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Anne and Angela, all teachable moments.
19:54:23 PeggyG : the grandparent criteria is very effective :-)
19:55:23 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Hi Lorna, welcome.
19:55:27 PeggyG : that was a great approach for handling that Angela.
19:55:28 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : I am a FB friend to my niece's 3 older children. They know that I see all that they post
19:55:32 Lorna : Hello everyone
19:55:37 angela maiers : Hi Lorna!
19:55:55 PeggyG : Hi Lorna-so glad you could join us :-)
19:55:56 wmchamberlain : It is difficult to change the online conversations from strictly social to learning social, creating the online learning community.
19:56:38 Lorna : @peggy :)
19:56:51 Lorna : Hi Angela
19:56:51 bobsprankle : contribution
19:57:06 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Yes, wmchamberlain, there is not roadmap for this journey,
19:57:13 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : we are building as we go.
19:57:30 annebeninghof : love that - contribution instead of sharing
19:57:45 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Will your contribution be valued and accepted by your community~Angela Maiers
19:57:47 PeggyG : excellent distinction
19:58:30 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : and there may be some people who look up to you
19:58:46 bobsprankle : CONTRIBUTION
19:58:48 PeggyG : that's a very good point--adds a level of accountability to what you share by thinking of it as contribution
19:58:52 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : whoa, we lost everything hang on
19:58:56 PeggyG : back now
19:59:05 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : okay i thought i went deaf for a minute :)
19:59:10 PeggyG : :-)
19:59:18 MrT_Ro : I think we need to move away from this mentality of "survival of the fittest"
19:59:20 angela maiers : oops..trying again!
19:59:33 PeggyG : good point MrT!
19:59:38 angela maiers : I am just going on and on
19:59:41 Lorna : good time for reflection
19:59:49 @KathyPerret : me too - in and out
19:59:51 PeggyG : you're burning up the airwaves Angela :-)
19:59:57 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : we are back
19:59:58 angela maiers : Linchpin Seth Godin....must read BLOG!
20:00:01 PeggyG : I'm hearing again now
20:00:03 @KathyPerret : :)
20:00:05 annebeninghof : I am still a DLL - digital language learner, so I thought the problem was on my end. Relieved to know it's not!
20:00:09 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : I am back and we are recording.
20:00:14 angela maiers : Both!
20:00:17 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : both!
20:00:49 PeggyG : http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
20:00:57 sroseman : snowstorms in your neck of the woods!!
20:01:13 PeggyG : relationships are the key to everything!
20:01:21 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Yes, we will have snow tomorrow.
20:01:45 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Relationships are so cruical. I am on a dropout prevention committee and that makes a difference.
20:01:51 PeggyG : you can't think of hall duty as duty but opportunity :-)
20:01:51 @KathyPerret : We better not have snow here. I need to drive to see Angela! :)
20:02:08 bobsprankle : def. peggy
20:02:12 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Peggy, so true, I love my hall, cafeteria opportunities!
20:02:18 angela maiers : #passiondriven
20:02:24 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : No snow for you KathyPerret, enjoy Angela.
20:02:51 PeggyG : if you use Tweetdeck you should create a column just for #passiondriven Wonderful things happening there
20:02:58 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : The world expects your contribution.
20:03:08 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Thanks PeggyG!
20:03:39 MrT_Ro : "The purpose of life is finding your gift. The meaning of life contributing your gift to others" Anonymous quote
20:03:47 PeggyG : love that quote!
20:03:57 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Oh, that is good MrT_Ro.
20:04:09 MrT_Ro : It's at the end of every e-mail that I send.
20:04:30 MrT_Ro : My wife heard it at a chiropractic course she attended
20:04:31 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : I like that! Right now I have our school mission statement and Universal Design.
20:05:03 @KathyPerret : That is so true! It is something I've recently learned through twitter & blogging.
20:05:18 datruss : Yes, they need a community... that [i]is[/i] their audience
20:05:36 datruss : Great point Alice!
20:05:48 angela maiers : Yes, Dave! Our greatest gift to students is to give them a network when they graduate!
20:05:50 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Yes, David, we force our school rules in place of a community.
20:05:53 MrT_Ro : I actually blogged about it after Angela spoke at the RCAC conference in Londong. It's called "what's your gift?" http://rothinks.wordpress.com
20:05:54 annebeninghof : Daniel Pink's thoughts in "Drive" support this idea
20:06:44 datruss : It's a gifting culture - ala Alec Couros- I'll look for the link
20:06:59 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : I love adding these new blogs to my Google Reader!
20:07:04 alicebarr : @datruss... Oh yes please!
20:07:28 MrT_Ro : I just started blogging last year and it's one of the best things I could have done personally and professionally.
20:07:39 @KathyPerret : :)
20:07:46 @KathyPerret : :)
20:08:01 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Isn't it true MrT_Ro, it is such a game changer for us all. It is the best PD for me, blogging, reading , commenting.
20:08:16 alicebarr : @MrT_Ro That is so great!
20:08:39 datruss : How do I paste a url in here? :-)
20:08:48 alicebarr : @datruss drag in
20:08:50 @KathyPerret : I agree, MrT_Ro. Blogging has really changed me.
20:08:53 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : David, just drag from the URL window
20:09:18 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : It was scary though when I first started to blog - it was like revealing myself - walking out into the world naked!
20:09:19 MrT_Ro : It all started with Twitter. @zbpipe convinced me to join Twitter when I was skeptical of it. As soon as I joined I was exposed to so many great blogs and I was instantly hooked
20:09:30 PeggyG : I'm so glad Angela insisted on keeping passion in the title!
20:09:39 @KathyPerret : Me too, Peggy
20:09:40 angela maiers : The link is the most excellent example of humanity!
20:09:56 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Pat, that is such a good way to explain it.
20:10:04 Lorna : I am so happy to see so many courageous teachers
20:10:06 @KathyPerret : Twitter is where I started as well, MrT_Ro
20:10:16 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Isn't that the truth! Lorna.
20:10:18 MrT_Ro : THomas ro
20:10:19 Lorna : yeh Canada
20:10:31 MrT_Ro : I see you
20:10:37 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Yes, MrT
20:10:38 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : I wasn't sure if people were going to laugh at me or think I was stupid or ignore me or bash me
20:10:42 datruss : http://educationaltechnology.ca/couros/1335
20:10:48 PeggyG : Dave-try floating the chat log (click on the blue icon) and then it's easy to drag a url into the chat
20:10:56 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : I am glad you continued blogging you have important work to share.
20:10:58 alicebarr : @datruss Thank you
20:11:18 bobsprankle : "i see you"/"i am here"
20:11:42 MrT_Ro : Bruce Lipton says that we are all cells in a larger organism called humanity and the internet has allowed humanity to become more connected
20:11:46 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : {hugs} Angela!! I see you
20:11:55 angela maiers : Pat, I am sooo here!
20:11:58 PeggyG : how funny!
20:12:23 Lorna : wishful thinking
20:12:28 Lorna : snow day
20:12:31 sroseman : elbow rubs
20:12:32 annebeninghof : It reminds me of Namaste - the divine in me greets the divine in you
20:12:36 @KathyPerret : Here is my blog: http://learningisgrowing.wordpress.com/
20:12:45 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : Thanks @Kathy
20:12:54 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Lorna, all our students have talked about snow all week, we had an early release, a late start and now they are saying no school tomorrow.
20:12:58 sroseman : How many snow days have you had??
20:13:04 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Anne, yes, Namaste!
20:13:18 PeggyG : thank you Kathy!
20:13:24 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : We only have had 2 half days, which do not count
20:13:24 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : My blog is: http://successfulteaching.blogspot.com
20:13:46 MrT_Ro : Now following @kathyperret
20:14:19 Lorna : great to hear them
20:14:19 @KathyPerret : Thanks, MrT
20:14:35 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Thanks for links tonight!
20:14:40 PeggyG : loving all of the blog links!
20:14:52 PeggyG : :-)
20:15:15 datruss : Share your passiondriven posts Angela
20:15:18 Lorna : just audio is fun
20:15:21 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Create a new habit tomorrow.
20:15:46 PeggyG : what makes it a habit??? how often do you have to do something before it becomes a habit?
20:16:07 Lorna : when you don't know you do it
20:16:16 MrT_Ro : How great would our world be if people discovered their gift at an early age.
20:16:25 datruss : well said!
20:17:06 Lorna : are you finding a way to include parents in supporting their geniuses
20:17:25 sroseman : Were you at ECOO?
20:17:41 PeggyG : what an interesting comment!
20:17:42 datruss : LOL- I remember a kid saying, "Not another movie project"
20:18:06 @KathyPerret : Are these projects the dioramas of the past?
20:18:20 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Yes, Kathy
20:18:33 MrT_Ro : let students be active participators not passive observers
20:18:46 datruss : & it isn't a glogster or a movie project anyway. What are the learning outcomes and how else can they share their learning?
20:18:46 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : yes, active particpants
20:18:56 PeggyG : possibly Kathy--but more likely a resistance to everyone having to do the same thing at the same time--no choice
20:19:06 alicebarr : problem is kids are still expected to do x number of minutes and x number of transitions... instead of creativity
20:19:09 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : yes, learning outcomes and rubrics to celebrate the learning
20:19:12 @KathyPerret : Yes - clear learning targets are needed!
20:19:26 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : yes alice, creativity
20:19:27 PeggyG : nothing wrong with Glogster if you choose it as a tool that communicates what you want to communicate
20:19:31 @KathyPerret : Good point, Pat.
20:19:53 angela maiers : Just to clarify...I.m not anti -gloster! :-)
20:19:59 PeggyG : :-)
20:20:04 Lorna : whose homework is it ?
20:20:05 datruss : agreed
20:20:26 datruss : choice & voice
20:20:29 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : It was like when teachers learned wordle, everything was a wordle, book reports, characterization, notes in science.....
20:21:00 PeggyG : rubrics can also often restrict learning and creative thinking because of the structured standards for all
20:21:01 datruss : "It needs to be as long as it needs to be!" ~ my favourite saying as a teacher.
20:21:20 MrT_Ro : I think for a lot of teachers it's overwhelming when they see all the websites, technology, and tools that are available and they just don't know where to start.
20:21:36 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : oh, that would hurt some kids as long as it needs to be, my autistic kids would just spin
20:22:05 PeggyG : I agree Mr T! and it's great that they're wanting to get started with something :-)
20:22:20 @KathyPerret : Teachers are learning these tools quickly. They need time to explore them for themselves.
20:22:53 annebeninghof : Many of the teachers in my workshops/audiences still don't even know about Wordle
20:23:28 @KathyPerret : So true, anne!
20:23:29 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : Angela is just so inspiring to listen to, to read her blog, to talk to! I think I'm in the Angela Maier's fan club! :)
20:23:30 MrT_Ro : I think the first step before even introducing technology is getting teachers to move away from rows and into groups.
20:23:41 PeggyG : http://www.angelamaiers.com/2011/01/creativity-and-teenagers.html
20:23:51 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : thanks Peggy
20:24:03 @KathyPerret : And the next layer is does the principal know the tools and what is needed in the teachers learning.
20:24:04 PeggyG : that's the link for creativity and Teenagers
20:24:19 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : In my univ. class, many of my preservice teachers tell me that I am the only one that integrates technology into their assignments! That scares me
20:24:41 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : That is scary Pat.
20:24:42 @KathyPerret : :)
20:24:55 annebeninghof : comfort with "raw" is unusual - good for you
20:25:04 Lorna : expect the unexpected - learn to problem solve
20:25:08 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : Many profs think that because they "use" the tools, they are teaching technology
20:25:08 MrT_Ro : The principal is key! Nothing is going to happen in a school until the principal is on board with passion-based learning
20:25:21 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Kids are so comfortable with the problems to be expected.
20:25:25 alicebarr : So agree MrT_Ro
20:25:30 sroseman : Interesting project here in Ottawa ...grade 10 students working with grade 3 students creating game apps for the ipad ..related to their grade 3 math and language standards .. project began in October and finishes in Feb..the 8 pps will be for sale on itunes in Feb...lots of collaboration and team work
20:25:36 PeggyG : very unusual to be comfortable with "raw"--losing control is a huge fear of teachers (and admins)
20:25:40 angela maiers : Learning Outloud- live, open, and real in all its elements!
20:25:56 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : Sue, that is amazing, have you blogged it anywhere?
20:25:57 annebeninghof : just saw that website on accidents that become inventions - great for teaching kids about making mistakes or being raw
20:25:58 @KathyPerret : My thoughts, exactly MrT ... and that is why I'm on that path!
20:26:01 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : hello beachcat11
20:26:17 beachcat11 : hello everyone - this is my first time in here!
20:26:18 MrT_Ro : Awesome @KathyPerret!

20:27:31 PeggyG : you have to be watching and listening to observer those aha moments!!
20:27:44 MrT_Ro : As a math facilitator, I go through the same struggle to get teachers to buy into teaching math through problem solving.
20:27:49 @KathyPerret : I know where you are.
20:27:51 datruss : Dalian... a small city of 6 million
20:28:01 annebeninghof : Here's the url for the info on inventions by accident http://tinyurl.com/3433em5
20:28:02 @KathyPerret : Amazing
20:28:09 loonyhiker (aka Pat) : Waking up every morning gives me a fresh new start to learn something new!
20:28:10 ~Seedlings~cheryloakes : You are all amazing!!
20:28:17 MrT_Ro : I see a lot of parallels between 21st century fluencies and teaching mathematics through problem solving
