Monica -> EdTechTalk do you think teachers would mind having skype on during their entire class sessions?
ElenaW -> EdTechTalk The class learned empathy, belonging and inclusion in addition to technology.
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk Monica, let's ask if teachers mind if their kids are listening during an entire class?
CheriT -> EdTechTalk that is so cool - amazing
DS -> EdTechTalk http//learningismessy.com/blog/?p=
Monica -> EdTechTalk I just see this in the future, but it could present problems, too.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk Brian is just wonderful...this is moving.
CheriT -> EdTechTalk what type of problems?
Monica -> EdTechTalk helicopter parents watching the teacher all day.... )
CheriT -> EdTechTalk ahh
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk LOL -- those are the parents you WOULDn't call
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk via skype
CheriT -> EdTechTalk )
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk it isn't a LIVE video for anyone -- right
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk you have to allow them in -- which I think is a plus
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk Just the two people on the call.
Durff -> EdTechTalk or the ones who threaten you
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk this kind of instruction and learning is seamless
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk Yes Lisa -- unless you set it up ONLY for those you invite
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk which is what I have
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk You can only do video skype between two computers at this time from what I understand.
jgarton -> EdTechTalk http//www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer= Google calendar directions
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk Thanks jgarton!
Durff -> EdTechTalk I was trying to provide some comic relief
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk Vicki -- really?? I thought you could do more
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk we shall have to see
mmiller -> EdTechTalk I had Janetta copy and paste the calendar directions
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk On video I think it is just two but I could be wrong.
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk LOL -- Lisa-- I was teasing back
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk We tried it a couple of months back but haven't since Jan/Feb
Durff -> EdTechTalk Did you see Operator ?
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk I shall check
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk so far only people on video, but now Operator , right durff
DS -> EdTechTalk two for video via skype, but something like operator would facilitate more
Durff -> EdTechTalk Robin Good used that
jgarton -> EdTechTalk when I do my skype workshop this summer I plan
to share a portion of this podcast for inspiration. Thanks Brian!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk Hmmm never heard of that.
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk Video calls are only possible with two
participants. Unfortunately, video conferences are not possible at the
moment.
Durff -> EdTechTalk look it up vicki
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk from SKYPE
Durff -> EdTechTalk it's cool
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk Elluminate can have more than -- right??
mmiller -> EdTechTalk Janetta did Skype "teaser" workshop with our
th grade teachers and they really liked it. She called me on Skype into
my office.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk But you could do it a little differently in something like elluminate.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk The video in elluminate is like a walkie talkie -- one at a time but everyone sees it.
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk but could you use SKYPE & ELLUMINATE??
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk Why would you?
mmiller -> EdTechTalk Now my teachers probably think I just sit in my office and skype people;)
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk to allow overtalk
Durff -> EdTechTalk at the same time?
JenniferW -> EdTechTalk like tonight
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk WE use skype in our whole school -- it is the best technology we've implemented in years.
janices -> EdTechTalk It's a great video!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk We use IM and the phone feature like an intercom.
janices -> EdTechTalk I showed it to my tech cadre during a Skype workshop. Very moving.

Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk Thanks jgarton.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk My quote of the day is this -- "Most of us
are living our lives miles wide and / an inch deep" -- we need to live
deeper, more focused lives and be less spread out.
sharonp
-> EdTechTalk and so many schools pay big bucks for expensive
software that don't take students nearly as far as Brian does with his
students on year old laptops
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk Yes!
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk It is not about spending a lot of money, it is about having a willingness!
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk my teachers are loving the year old ibooks and having in their classrooms.

ElenaW -> EdTechTalk Yes, it takes a teacher/leader to pull this off. I am glad that he shared this success.
Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk Isn't it great.

Vicki Davis -> EdTechTalk We need stories from heroes like this.
cheryloakes wow -> EdTechTalk Teacher stories are authentic learning for all.
Durff -> EdTechTalk I gave an assignment to read it
mmiller -> EdTechTalk What ever happened about Brian and the Today show? I think it was mentioned in the chat last week
sharonp -> EdTechTalk we should ask him about the admin support
