Chat Log Below
19:00:45 Harold -> Hi Dave & gang
19:01:22 dawn -> thx
19:01:59 Harold -> Happy friggin' Anniversary!
19:02:41 Harold -> I think I'm listening on IceCast - working
19:03:33 Harold -> Icecast died - now on ustream
19:04:15 Harold -> youz guys & gals are experts!
19:04:55 Harold -> irony is OK, but don''t be too cynical, IMO
19:06:29 Harold -> It's hurting right now
19:06:50 JenM -> content or audio quality?
19:06:54 Harold -> audio, Jeff
19:07:08 Harold -> I was around for that one
19:07:27 canugurl -> sounds okay from here....
19:07:31 Harold -> Icecast kicks in when listening to ustream
19:07:42 Harold -> I keep getting double-speak
19:07:43 Jennifer W -> Happy Anniversary!!
19:07:44 JenM -> is that Jdub????
19:07:50 JenM -> yeahhhh!
19:08:06 Jennifer W -> Sorry --- I have been AWOL --
19:08:26 Harold -> I have to keep turning off one of the streams - weird
19:09:37 Harold -> I must say that you folks were the leaders & a great inspiration - maybe not tonight though ;)
19:09:39 Jennifer W -> Jen -- are you still in IL???
19:10:18 Harold -> #84 Rocks!
19:11:24 JenM -> @JW ... yes ... in Chi-town
19:11:58 Jennifer W -> When I watch Cake Boss -- Hoboken, I believe -- I think of you, JenM :)
19:12:42 Harold -> Eliminate is a much better descriptor
19:13:17 Paula Naugle -> Can't hear anything what am I doing wrong?
19:13:33 Jennifer W -> Did you click on the USTREAM LINK??
19:13:39 jhando -> @Paula the Icecast worked for me
19:13:43 Harold -> click on one of the options on the right, Paula
19:14:10 Paula Naugle -> Okay got it. Thanks.
19:17:00 Paula Naugle -> This looks like a vodcast when you click on ustream link.
19:17:13 jhando -> There's now video which is innovation.
19:17:37 Harold -> Technology is the application of organised and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.
19:18:05 Jennifer W -> I think EdTechTalk was a master of trying new things -- which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't (grins) -- but always trying new things
19:18:07 Harold -> I remember th eearly shows as being very interactive (despite my crappy audio quality)
19:18:18 Bud -> Happy anniversary, y'all.
19:18:33 Harold -> Hi Bud!
19:18:34 Jennifer W -> and using us as guinea pigs....dragging us along to try new things as well. (esp chat rooms & video feeds)
19:19:20 Jennifer W -> and of course -- my all time favorite -- POST SHOW!!! LOVE Post Show!!!
19:20:04 jhando -> I remember not being able to paste links into chat.... hasn't changed ;-)
19:20:07 JenM -> I used to say "the convergence of messy and magical" ;)
19:20:08 Bud -> What I always liked about the space here is that y'all do - you ship - you get audio out -
19:20:58 Jennifer W -> and when Jeff or Dave did the 365 experiment?? that was fun.....
19:21:11 jhando -> Everyone's probably busier now with so many other technologies, talks, books, etc in this space
19:21:20 Jennifer W -> I liked the fact that you URGED us to fail -- but you were there to help us
19:22:03 Jennifer W -> and how we PUSHED things til they broke....just to see how far we could push
19:22:34 Bud -> I still miss the guests. Y'all're good interviewers.
19:22:44 Paula Naugle -> Went to first tech conference - NECC in New Orleans in 2004. Didn't know what they were talking about - podcasts, wikis, blogs, Nings, Moodle, etc. Come away determined to learn. Boy that seems so long ago.
19:23:29 Jennifer W -> and another memory -- Jen's husband waiting in the closet til the show was over. :)
19:23:46 JenM -> @JW .. oh, yay!
19:24:27 Bud -> But, Jeff - you're good at it.
19:24:35 Jennifer W -> where is John Schinker???
19:24:45 Bud -> aw, heck
19:24:50 Bud -> I was responding to him
19:24:55 Bud -> you are a fine team.
19:24:58 JenM -> ... at a family picnic ... he should be joining us soon
19:25:05 Bud -> I;'ll explicitly mention Jen and Dave and Jeff. Bravo, TEAM.
19:25:21 Jennifer W -> you were our twitter before twitter
19:26:00 Bud -> You know, maybe interviews aren't so good
19:27:53 JenM -> http://www.delicious.com/edtechtalk
19:28:14 Harold -> LMS = snake oil
19:28:30 Paula Naugle -> I use Edmodo as my LMS with 4th graders.
19:28:41 Harold -> yes, Dave - WP is a better option than an LMS
19:29:17 Cathy E -> Don't forget that many of us in the US don't have bandwidth either
19:29:20 Harold -> Oligopolies rule Canada :(
19:29:45 Jennifer W -> Wordpress began in 2003
19:29:56 Jennifer W -> so says their website
19:30:19 dawn -> I wonder about edublog verson. Does it allow students to have their own blog?
19:30:37 Harold -> but blogger is not open source - own your data
19:31:03 jhando -> Unfortunately we are driven by assessments here so Moodle is still best option ie. gradebooks etc
19:31:12 Jennifer W -> DRUPAL --- what a headache -- but what a triumph. Learned a lot but lost a lot of hair
19:31:12 Harold -> even Microsoft shifted their Live accounts to WordPress
19:31:34 Harold -> Drupal is great (for industrial strength applications)
19:31:59 Jennifer W -> being able to tear drupal apart made me not hesitate at all with tweaking my word press (self-hosted) blog
19:32:01 JenM -> http://jmaddrell.blogspot.com/
19:33:49 Jennifer W -> crum--- where is Durff and Doug?? gonna tweet this out again
19:34:49 Paula Naugle -> Durff's at the beach.
19:35:21 Jennifer W -> @Paula -- thinking of past shows.....where are all the hosts?
19:36:32 Jennifer W -> for 3+ years of my life -- this was my Home on the Web
19:36:33 Harold -> social - on the institution's terms - is not social
19:37:18 Bud -> Oh, Furl. How I miss thee.
19:37:29 Paula Naugle -> I've only attended a half dozen times. Need to add this to Google calendar so I remember to come.
19:37:30 Harold -> I remember when Furl was my social bookmark tool too :) went south just like Magnolia
19:37:33 Bud -> It's true.
19:37:56 jhando -> Is this social?
19:38:15 Harold -> yes, it's still Bud's message on Skype ;)
19:38:43 JenM -> http://jmaddrell.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
19:38:51 Bud -> Why mess with what works?
19:39:57 Harold -> CONTROL
19:40:07 jhando -> Rubrics are for progress and improvement, gradual improvement
19:41:03 dave -> http://wikieducator.org/User:Davecormier/Books/Educational_Technology_an...
19:41:06 jhando -> Same things happens in workplace ie. appraisals
19:41:25 Jennifer W -> If a teacher only judges the project based on a rubric, I believe they will miss a lot about the projects. Rubrics (to me) limit creativity
19:41:47 Jennifer W -> limit uniqueness perhaps would be a better word choice
19:42:36 jhando -> Rubric should be written by students
19:43:07 jhando -> It's like goal setting in learning process
19:43:17 Paula Naugle -> I find I want to change project rubric after proects are turned in because I see things I didn't include on original rbric.
19:43:36 jhando -> @Paula v true
19:45:06 jhando -> Schools are addicted to measuring unfort
19:45:34 jhando -> Or is it parents addicted to it? Or governments?
19:45:35 Paula Naugle -> Rubrics seem like easy way out when grading, definitely need to include a box which require instructor to add comments.
19:46:04 jhando -> Students always tell me that comments are the most important feedback
19:46:06 jeff -> we should start our post show soon
19:46:24 Cathy E -> What about ISTE? Anybody going?
19:46:38 Harold -> "am I some kind of idiot?" (I refuse to answer that)
19:46:52 JenM -> @harold ... he he he
19:47:09 jhando -> Question: what's the largest number of ppl in EdTechTalk chat over 6 years?
19:47:16 Jennifer W -> No -- to ISTE
19:47:30 Paula Naugle -> I'm going to ISTE.
19:48:12 dave -> in the chat? maybe close to 100 once...
19:48:16 Jennifer W -> It is WAY too early for POST SHOW
19:48:56 Jennifer W -> I think the night WOW2 had the Posse group on, we were close to 100.
19:49:13 jhando -> 100 and nothing broke?
19:49:25 Jennifer W -> we broke skype before we broke EdTechTalk
19:49:44 Paula Naugle -> Hi Maria.
19:49:47 jhando -> there was a time when skype broke often
19:49:52 MariaK -> hello
19:50:00 jhando -> now the interface (at least on Mac) is broken ;-)
19:50:12 jhando -> hi MariaK
19:50:20 jhando -> where are u from?
19:50:37 MariaK -> Thought i'd catch the last 10 minutes instead of listening later!
19:51:12 Bud -> keep up the good work, ysll. Especially Dave. Because I'd hate for him to feel left out.
19:51:44 Cathy E -> My staff gets much more PD online
19:52:09 JenM -> An attempt to describe informal PD via twitter: http://bigthink.com/ideas/38698
19:52:10 Jennifer W -> My staff needs to start considering PD online
19:52:50 Jennifer W -> JenM -- I was #1 on that list.... it was nice of Scott to include me. :)
19:52:57 Paula Naugle -> I'm presenting an all day workkshop for 25 tech coordinators on Wed. I'm very nervous.
19:53:09 jhando -> Accreditation is probably number one factor for choosing pd events
19:53:28 jhando -> @Paula what's the focus of preso?
19:53:37 Cathy E -> We are using the chat in Google Apps for PD
19:53:53 Harold -> those who own accreditation, control the system
19:53:56 Cathy E -> very informal - but it works
19:53:59 Jennifer W -> I list WOW2 on my resume
19:54:01 Paula Naugle -> Beleive it or not they asked me to present Web 2.0 tools.
19:54:16 MariaK -> It also depends on the school district. Some districts accept a variety of PD - not just formal. We use a portfolio based PD reporting so my reflections about how I learn and how it affects my practice can include EdTechTalk.
19:54:22 jhando -> @Paula good luck with it
19:54:32 JenM -> Oh, yeah ... http://twitter.com/#!/jenwagner/status/76105131342561280
19:54:42 dawn -> @MariaK nice
19:54:48 Paula Naugle -> @jhando Thank you.
19:55:59 jhando -> Why wld a teacher care if they already are trained and earning their dough?
19:56:10 Jennifer W -> That post was very easy to knee-jerk to if you did not read it carefully. He seemed to be knocking neighbor fence conversations but he really was not
19:56:11 Paula Naugle -> Is there any info on number of admins, principals, teachers, who blog?
19:56:28 Jennifer W -> NO NO NO -- not post show???
19:56:31 Jennifer W -> its too early
19:56:46 jhando -> I wld estimate there's 1-2 in each school blogging, if that
19:56:47 Jennifer W -> HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!
19:56:59 Cathy E -> Ya'll ROCK!!!
19:57:09 Jennifer W -> OH, we are starting a new show in September -- but will talk with you later
19:57:11 Paula Naugle -> Happy Anniversary to you.
19:57:32 Jennifer W -> you will be around in September???
19:57:39 MariaK -> So glad i could be here to say Happy Anniversary. meet most of my best friends here!
19:57:42 Jennifer W -> and remember the 24 hour sessions???
19:57:42 jhando -> Good on everyone for sticking with it for 6 yrs
19:58:33 Harold -> nothing in life is permanent
19:58:43 Jennifer W -> understood but sadness
19:59:07 Paula Naugle -> You have been responsible for helping so many to learn. Thank you.
20:01:21 dawn -> wow good for you
20:02:01 Jennifer W -> EdTechTalk gave me confidence to talk out my thoughts.....so THANK YOU for all you have offered generously to us all.

20:02:32 dave -> anytime now
