21:27:41 PeggyG -> - I think the Parent Portal is such a great idea!
21:27:59 JoNelle -> - same here @PeggyG. "I was in school all day- don't want to talk about it"
21:28:03 jeannine -> - @peggyg read an interesting idea about that in the comments of a blog...ask them "what questions did you ask today?"...

21:28:53 [email protected] -> - I love the E-community!  it works very well
21:28:58 mrsdurff -> - i don't think his phone will get the show  but it does get twitter
21:29:02 derrallg -> - @peggyG I'm always entertained when I hear what my students tell their parents, 
21:29:31 PeggyG -> - that's so true derrallg!!
21:30:08 penny -> - I'm using phonevite on a smaller scale for sports teams -- works great
21:30:12 mrsdurff -> - hi dave
21:30:28 mrsdurff -> - ds - he can't come on over
21:30:28 Jeanne -> - our school calls them phone blasts
21:30:37 kdimini -> - @missals - Hey Sherri!
21:30:41 mrsdurff -> - hi missals
21:30:4 missals -> - hey
21:30:55 missals -> - This is interesting!
21:30:59 PeggyG -> - curious if all parents in their community have email access? That sounds so impressive!
21:31:05 mrsdurff -> - sound on ETT A - click the black icon
21:31:20 penny -> - @peggyg -- i know in our school not all would have access
21:31:30 Jeanne -> - I would like to know if anyone from Niagara is going to NCEA in Anaheim?
21:31:33 penny -> - even if they do have access many don't check regularly
21:31:39 cindy seibel -> - my parent portal implementation guide is taking shape - would love feedback. http://portalguide.tech4learning.ca
21:31:40 kdimini -> - Is this parent portal you are talking about?
21:31:40 PeggyG -> - it's obviously working for them!! very encouraging!
21:31:52 missals -> - @kdimini how to you get to the parent as partner one?
21:32:04 ds -> - @mrsdurff sorry, my bad
21:32:23 mrsdurff -> - ds - you know where he is then?
21:32:37 kdimini -> - @missals - this is it.. you just need to click EdTech Talk A to hear it
21:32:44 ds -> - I do, thought he might have a laptop....
21:32:54 mrsdurff -> - just the phone
21:33:00 cindy seibel -> - Directors in Ontario may be called Superintendents in other jurisdictions
21:33:11 mrsdurff -> - unless he swiped on
21:33:2 ds -> - lol
21:33:2 mrsdurff -> - come to think of it - i wouldn't put it past him
21:33:3 mrsdurff -> - hey missals
21:33:3 [email protected] -> - How do we find out where and when these board meetings will be held?  Are they on the ecommunity?
21:33:38 PeggyG -> - @Cindy--I think your Parent Portal guide is excellent and will be so helpful!
21:33:4 missals -> - Thanks
21:34:01 Jeanne -> - Our portal is just for our school
21:34:18 PeggyG -> - love that use of podcasting!!
21:35:38 kdimini -> - @cindy thanks for the parent portal guide! I will have to take a read through.. I have never heard of this before...
21:3:35 PeggyG -> - that is such a hard thing for board members and school council members--to think beyond the needs/interests of their own kids
21:37:01 JoNelle -> - GREAT points - different views.
21:37:13 [email protected] -> - I don't find it that hard to think of the majority of kids, I sit on the Regional Council with Laurel
21:37:20 missals -> - How do I view the parent portal guide?
21:37:39 kdimini -> - @missals http://portalguide.tech4learning.ca/
21:37:57 mrsdurff -> - you beat me to it
21:38:02 mrsdurff -> - good job
21:38:15 missals -> - thanks
21:39:01 mrsdurff -> - hi dane
21:39:10 PeggyG -> - @Shonna--that's wonderful!! I think parents on councils have the best of intentions but it's hard to remember they are representing lots of parents.
21:39:25 mrsdurff -> - click the black icon under ETT A for sound dand
21:39:28 mrsdurff -> - dane
21:39:29 penny -> - that question is important to ask
21:39:52 penny -> - Our parents wanted an online calendar!  Who knew it could be so simple
21:39:5 PeggyG -> - that's such a great perspective!
21:39:5 [email protected] -> - Well if we are discussing something particular i.e. the school calendar for 2009/2010 I actually posted it on Facebook
21:40:02 mrsdurff -> - individualisation

21:48:12 Jeanne -> - yes it is kdimini.. you are lightyears ahead of estd faculty in a lot of cases
21:48:15 PeggyG -> - Great question Penny! I think people have to find their own strategies for keeping all of the information from being overwhelming.

21:48:57 mrsdurff -> - hi again dane
