19:47:27 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: fake jobs!
19:47:34 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: lol
19:47:41 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: so what is a fake gates?
19:47:54 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: can the virtual "Just for Laughs" be far behind?
19:47:56 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: fakesteve.blogspot.com
19:48:07 Cathy E -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.ning.com/
19:48:12 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: a laugh-in reprisal
19:48:26 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: fakesteve is outrageous in a good way
19:48:57 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: Ning = social networking = :)
19:49:03 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: fake gates, that would be the filter at our school :)
19:49:12 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: (LOL)
19:49:15 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: (lol)
19:49:18 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: lol
19:49:39 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: yes - they don't value my comments - they value everyone else's comments
19:49:55 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: who doesn't value you you Durff?
19:49:55 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: @Cathy E I am so mad at myself for missing this tonight
19:50:10 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: you hire me to roll one for you :)
19:50:16 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: the learners
19:50:16 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: build*
19:50:32 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: ahhhh, they are middle schoolers, givem a break!
19:50:34 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: they value comments from other people
19:50:38 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: and they should
19:51:00 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: all of them PreK thru 12
19:51:03 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff they'll thank you one day, and I'm sure they are listening, they just can't let on....
19:51:05 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I set up a ning to get my teachers blogging
19:51:06 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: what about imbee? I've never used it
19:51:13 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Well, that is the goal anyway
19:51:14 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: good idea Cathy E
19:51:26 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: they are, they tell me when they are alone
19:51:39 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: We've been using drupal
19:51:44 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: wordpress on the school server?
19:52:07 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: Moodle = overkil
19:52:11 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: We have a principal at our 3-5 school who is using a wiki to discuss a book she gave her staff-gotten from an idea your school is doing
19:52:11 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: overkill*
19:52:29 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: a good way to get teachers introduced to the tools
19:52:36 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: The ning is much friendlier than moodle or drupal
19:52:43 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: brb
19:53:04 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: Hi criss
19:53:06 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Honestly people like to 'move in' they like to decorate and personalize
19:53:07 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: Is setting up drupal hard?
19:53:15 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Harder than ning
19:53:16 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: also, I think it might be worth sending Ning an email
19:53:24 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: see if you can work out something
19:53:39 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: back
19:53:41 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: The folks are great at drupal for helping out and all kinds of docs on the net
19:53:45 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: in ning though anyone can join any ning group
19:53:52 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: Did he say sloodle?
19:53:54 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: what are some safer avatar making sites
19:54:00 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: that's sounds dangerous in a school
19:54:00 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yes he did
19:54:09 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: habo?
19:54:13 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: you can upload an avatar to your profile in moodle
19:54:23 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: @kathy Portrait Illustrator
19:54:35 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: @jeff yes
19:54:42 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: OK will try
19:54:56 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: anyone tried www.gogofrog.com - creates second life style rooms - 3-D spaces with chats and avatars
19:55:06 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: no
19:55:08 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: cool
19:55:24 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: @cindy thank you
19:55:35 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: has a blogging and forum feature, but haven't been able to get it to work yet
19:55:50 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: it was easy to upload pictures and text
19:55:58 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: cindy showed me gogofrog today-looks really cool
19:56:00 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: go frog looks very promising
19:56:03 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: Meebo
19:56:13 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: use Meebo for IM
19:56:32 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: what was that site you just mentioned cathy
19:56:32 Art Gelwicks -> -EdTechTalk: Meebo raises the specter of instant messaging for many schools.
19:56:47 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: chatmaker.net was it.
19:56:51 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: edusim
19:56:53 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: thkx
19:56:55 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: It's great for creating your own chatroom
19:57:27 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: can others enter chatmaker rooms?
19:57:31 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I hope chat maker isn't blocked, looks ideal
19:57:34 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: Edusim didn't like my tablet
19:57:36 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: is it safe?
19:57:44 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: yes. You just send them the link thats created
19:57:47 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: If you have wireless computers in your room, set up server on an oS X, add MySql and wordpress.
19:58:03 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: edusim is kind of light at this point in terms of content and i haven't had time to make any
19:58:13 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Also the controls are a bit rugged
19:58:18 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: mildly techie solution but if might work
19:58:32 jeffmason -> -EdTechTalk: it
19:58:49 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Even my college age son who is a video game afficionado thinks, hey, where's the action?
19:59:04 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: is edusim a download?
19:59:08 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I know it's only in Alpha so hopefully they are collecting suggestions
19:59:13 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: No flying either
19:59:19 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yes
19:59:24 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: pooh
19:59:25 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: we do
19:59:27 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: Boo! Love to fly
19:59:34 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yes you have to be very fluid
19:59:40 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: if not its too sluggish
19:59:51 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: they also want to be able to compete with one another
19:59:51 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: no flying, what's the point then?
19:59:56 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: anyone put edusim on a flash drive yet?
20:00:02 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: just kidding :)
20:00:08 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: HAHA
20:00:23 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: my boys do that
20:00:29 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: url for pictochat?
20:00:41 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: it's part of nintendo ds software
20:01:20 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: Art, there you go again
20:01:25 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: try gogofrog.com
20:01:26 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: font of knowledge over there
20:01:56 Linda J -> -EdTechTalk: community unit
20:02:22 Linda J -> -EdTechTalk: guess we are kin
20:02:25 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Elem educators would use the space on the whiteboard
20:02:29 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: read James Paul Gee
20:02:32 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: to allow children to explore
20:02:37 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: then you will know Art
20:02:37 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: engage
20:02:43 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: and take things apart
20:02:46 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: museum style piece
20:02:58 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: ecosystems
20:03:00 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: mathematics principles too--being able to walk in and around shapes and such
20:03:05 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: see Paris :)
20:03:07 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: finding things like in I SPY but three D
20:03:16 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Yes
20:03:55 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: mmm-the virtual world as the textbook
20:04:12 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: what if you have a computer in the virtual world?
20:04:17 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: and then play SL in that..
20:04:20 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: yeah what if?
20:04:26 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: wow
20:04:27 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: and then get on the computer in there
20:04:27 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: could you?
20:04:29 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: etc.
20:04:38 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: very deeeep
20:04:51 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: @arthus - that sounds like an infinity concept
20:04:57 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: it is
20:05:09 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i'm calling a cab
20:05:09 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: actually, not it's not
20:05:14 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: one company, may be NetG is already doing computer labs in SL
20:05:19 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: Ladies and gents, must go, see you all back here at 9! Fun times, thx. What learning isn't distracting?
20:05:24 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: yes cathy i agree
20:05:25 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: AMEN Cathy!
20:05:26 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: bye, cya later
20:05:27 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: because eventually your SL character would run out of lenonsa
20:05:29 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: I used to love to set up mirrors so i could search for infinity
20:05:36 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: bye Kathy
20:05:37 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: kathy! loved seeing you!!
20:05:53 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: I saw infinity the other day
20:05:58 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: maria did you ever find it?
20:06:01 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: then I looked further
20:06:08 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: and their audience would be the world
20:06:11 Linda J -> -EdTechTalk: Thank you everyone! Great Show!!!!
20:06:14 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: where arthus? at educon?
20:06:16 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: I'm getting closer to infinity - way closer than when I was younger!
20:06:39 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i'm 12
20:06:41 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: nope, in binary
20:06:50 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: I'm 3.14
20:07:14 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: ok that's too deep for me - taking a cab outta here
20:07:17 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: here's a primary grade level wiki I started http://100thday.wetpaint.com/ maybe some classrooms would want to participate
20:07:45 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff I'm guessing that cab budget is a big one!
20:07:54 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: our 100th day was Monday
20:08:05 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: mine would be Spartan
20:08:09 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: @Doug maria is paying
20:08:12 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: a single white desk
20:08:16 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: a stool
20:08:17 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: excellent
20:08:20 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: and an iMac
20:08:23 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: @durff - no problem - this is more about the concept of counting to 100
20:08:40 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: @durff - I',m walking
20:08:42 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i'll share it maria
20:09:25 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: sneak peak: I might be starting my own regular show soon
20:09:37 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: good
20:09:39 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: also, I'm going to be webcasting on Super Tuesday
20:09:45 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: 'bout time
20:09:54 dougsymington -> -EdTechTalk: indeed
20:10:11 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: auf Deutsch-doch
20:10:21 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: more formative assessments - project based learning - testing now is on fragmented learning
20:10:44 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: define "actual experience"
20:10:48 Diane Brown -> -EdTechTalk: recall learning...no application of critical thinking skills
20:11:02 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: too much time on this
20:11:13 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: is an experience in SL "actual"
20:11:15 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i don't think it passes the test arthus
20:11:33 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: darn
20:11:43 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: actual experience is really contrived
20:11:50 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: it has to be
20:11:58 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: school is contrived
20:12:26 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: SL is not contrived enough
20:12:52 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: oh my! it is 8:12!! I gotta go
20:13:07 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: bye lisa - call a cab!
20:13:31 Durff graduate of 2017 -> -EdTechTalk: i'll not log out - just go fill the coffee
20:13:41 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: we lost him
20:13:43 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: losing sound...
20:13:46 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: we need to involve parents more in the classroom so they see how much learning goes on
20:13:56 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: Durff, what's up for WOW tonight?
20:14:41 lthompson -> -EdTechTalk: Test drives everything
20:14:45 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: Parents think the scores are measuring what their children are learning and how well the school is doing!
20:14:46 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: the scary thing: when it gets down to actual school work, I end up being like just every student
20:15:02 arthus -> -EdTechTalk: (cramming for the test, non-understanding based testing)
20:15:20 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: Teacher need to find their voice and stand up for what is right for children
20:15:34 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: yes we do maria
20:15:45 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: a march on washington is what we need!
20:15:48 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: but we need to be singing the same song!
20:15:54 lthompson -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks this was great
20:15:57 Diane b -> -EdTechTalk: sounds great
20:16:08 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: great show tonight Cathy!
20:16:10 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: will see you on Thursday evening
20:16:12 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: think of what that would do -if all the teachers across the country organized and marched
20:16:20 mariak -> -EdTechTalk: to wahington
20:16:23 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: I have a big list of things to check out! Thank you!
20:16:24 dgoodman_1958 -> -EdTechTalk: sorry I missed first half but will tune in Thursday evening

20:20:49 Diane b -> -EdTechTalk: I love NCWise
20:21:03 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: It will actually move smoother than you might expect
20:21:12 cindy p -> -EdTechTalk: Yes Cris should!
