Does someone in the chat have that link?
thanks Andrea!
if we can hear through his headset mic it will work I think
perfect!!
great
seeing and hearing it great
My role tonight is to get you ALL to publish on digitalis!!!!
very cool
Hi, All!
this is so cool!!
Hi Chad!
please share the url for this project after the video is finished :-)
Wow... is this location specific?
Harvard/Boston?
nice
Monika and Peggy - Kelsey says hello
Hi Kelsey! Love having you here with us! Are you doing something special for Digital Learning Day?
hey Kelsey
Oh, my such great ideas for DLDay
She didn't see any reason to do anything differently -
DL Day is an incredible opportunity to make the public more aware of the importance of technology for learning
She was also a bit disappointed the hangout was full - gave up and went to bed to read.
but Kelsey--you have to share what you do every day to make the public more award
aware
Try something new!
She tries - takes her nook to school to show interesting things to her teachers
Play Fresh Air is from Matt
yes! I'm interested in that! Thanks

@scott love that!
Corp. wants to push bring-your-own-devices.... but teachers are against it
FYI, Matt just put out this link about his project's work: http://playfreshair.com/
that's great Scott! have her share that on the Digital Learning Day site
Here's a link Matt sent out to the full EcoMobile project: http://ecomobile.gse.harvard.edu/video/EcoMOBILE_demo_Fall2011.mov
I'll send her a livebinder with some links to show and share
that's great.
wonderful Scott!! love that idea!
ah, i see monika posted that already ... thanks, Monika!
i can use that activity in some other work i'm doing...good opportunity to be reflective about digital learning
what's their tool for their online portfolios?
that's great! before/after visions
are those students using the tlday hashtag or their own hashtag?
Scott Shelhart -- can you share the livebinder link here?
Ooooo. I have my "
EduCon Hack Jam in a Bag" all packed.
Peggy, our students will be using #dlday tag :)
YAY! HACKJAMMARAMA!
@sheri I have not compiled the links yet. I'll post it on twitter when done. @kd9sr
why do you have to declare a school when you register for the day? that's what made me think I couldn't participate because I'm a retired educator.
Peggy, for their online portfolios they get to choose the platform
Oh thank you, Scott
fantastic Andrea!
what are they using Andrea? just curious
Yes, Andrea - I'm interested also. I used Google Sites for mine.
these are all such exciting ideas!!
They are declaring their platform this week, so the results are trickling in, but last semester they chose Weebly, Wix, and Google Sites. A few did Wordpress.
We use Google Apps also...
We have them explore at least two platforms before they commit to a platform for their portfolios.
too funny
thanks! those are great sites for eportfolios!
@Peggy - I noticed Lake Havasu is hiring. Do you know anything about the area?
is the digital learning day just for the US?
I think of it as a day to showcase what you do all year long
It is a bit like earth day - a focused day of awareness
I think so Scott. I doubt people are doing technology projects just for the day if they're not already using technology.
that will be a great topic to follow on Youth Voices :-) use of mobile devices in school :-)
On this issue of doing things all year long: we'd love to have anyone tonight submit a little story to our Dlday Tumblr: dlday2012.tumblr.com
from the student perspective
the day that could be..
Lake Havasu is one of the hottest places in AZ!!!
Hmm. I'll have to look at that a bit closer.
but this day could be a celebration of digital life :-)
I think it's a great idea! Legislators and the public need to become more aware of how technology enhances learning
there are lots of places where it isn't that seamless (sadly)
that's a great idea!! it reminds me of something we do in AZ called "Principal for a Day" where a businessman spends a day shadowing a principal. Incredible learning for the businessman. :-)
funny!
who's this guy?
That is Tom Fox: he's at Chico
thanks
I am a huge fan of Tom Fox
I also don't think people know how much important work is happening in the classroom too. All the innovations!
I really agree with these points!!! TTT doesn't represent the majority of teachers but we hope they will begin to do more of this kind of thing.
I love your passion about this!! I just want to say "AMEN" :-)
I totally identify with her comment. I'm so glad she keeps going; it's not easy.
those are often the mentor teachers for the student teachers
If your only tech is one iPad in the classroom, what woud you do?
I love Katie's post...
http://www.all4ed.org/blog/katie_mckay_do_our_students_have_access
exactly
@Sheri-use it as your tool for capturing student projects/observations of their learning
When digital learning goes wrong
just "showcase" how you use your ipad during a school day normally :-)
All my staff have iPads, so one in each classroom. That's an idea, Peggy, I think we could do.
An apple tv connected to your projector can be a great way to extend one ipad
do we really want to be judgmental re the sharing on this day to say that some projects/ideas are ok to share and others aren't? That worries me
apple tv can connect to the projector? Wow...
yes Sheri! that's a great way to use it like a notebook or "document camera"
yeah it lets you "mirror" the entire ipad to the screen... cool for some of the ipad specific apps
I'm going to need to figure that out!
there's a great app called Splashtop that you can use to access anything on your computer remotely to share on your iPad
D2L and the "walled garden" approach is used at my college. I'm not a fan.
I don't think it is about not sharing various practices as much as honoring that these practices may leave those behind that do not have such saturated technology access
and then project it :-)
Because it isn't about the tool, but the way the tool enhances student learning and actually empowering learners
I'm thinking that by everyone sharing on this day some of the teachers and administrators will see that there are some better ways to use technology :-)
Do any of you know http://www.goorulearning.org/
yes Sheri! awesome site!
math/science lessons videos etc tied to standards
are you using it Sheri?
I got another meeting at 7, believe or not. So I gotta go. Thanks everyone for the great conversation.
a Google 20% time project
My experience with augmented reality is Skyping with Paul Oh.
Bye Tom!
Yes. We're designing a project where students choose a focus of interest to them (and others)
nice chad..daring
Thanks Tom
it's mostly math/science isn't it?
gooru?
that's funny @Chad!
Yes, but you can create your own units by copying / adding resources. As a writing teacher, I'm using it for content to write about!
yes! it's not the technology, it's the people!
The science teacher and I are collaborating for integrated projects.
@Sheri I love that idea!
Does gooru let kids share resources between them and collaborate?
Tech makes good students and good teachers better.... Technology does mot make an ineffective teacher good.
Yes. It is in beta. There are connections and we are still figuring it out. They can gather their own resources for their projects.
@Scott couldn't agree more
I think it's teachers that create the account on the site
"It will eventually get into K12," should be someone's motto.
It integrates with Google Apps. The kids sign in to our kid site and can go right to gooru from there.
but are the kids adding to the site or just accessing it?
Paul, are you broadcasting any from EduCon?
thanks guys
The kids can add to their "collections"
great question Chad!!!
Detox has special meaning to them :-)
thanks Sheri!
Good to meet some new folks tonight.
Look for NWP folk at EduCon!
Yes. You're welcome. Thanks for all the infol

Good evening
Howdy, All -
Hi Chad
Hi, Scott!
Chad... there's room for you.
Hi everyone
Just came from the most incredible presentation by Cable Green from Creative Commons on Creative Commons and open source policies with Steve Hargadon. Be sure to listen to it once it's posted. http://futureofeducation.com
is Kelsey with you Scott?
Yes Peggy, Kelsey is in the hangout.
great!
She has her own G+ account now.
awesome :-)
I lost my stream and didn't hear the response to Kelsey's comment
Hangout seems choppy tonight. Hopefully the recording will be intact
stream keeps dropping for me
Can you join the hangout with your ipad
no ipad just iphone
video just keeps spinning
hmmm if you have a front facing camera you can join
still on the wireless for the computer I'm using with a direct ethernet connection so I'll have the same problem
video back for now...
you have to feel safe to share your feelings openly
Kelsey Shelhart: yes you do, and i think that if you don't feel secure doing that, i think that you would have problems opening up and speaking what your thinking
I agree Kelsey
is that hiding behind anonymity?
self conscious about doing it with other people around but not self conscious about posting it online??
great example--thinking out loud :-)
reminds me of people talking on their bluetooth headset in the grocery store--you think they're talking to you...
thanks for the link Scott
:-)
Paul are you suggesting that posting video on youthvoices detox is different than posting on youtube (walled garden sort of?)
good night everyone.
goodnight
