Post-Show description: 

Talk with Dave Cormier about a blog post of his: OERs Shining  Light: new textbook model or harbinger of a new imperialism and the comments it generated. Jeff Lebow joins us (@ the 36:00 minute mark), "because no one else will disagree with Dave" and the brainstorm ensues.

NOTE: Would love to revisit the topic with Dave and Jeff, and whomever else would like to weigh in, on a future show.

We also talk about an episode of onlinevisualjams hosted by Nancy White, from the previous afternoon: Audio / Visuals

Tunes: Remix Culture Addict, Wadidyusay?

 21:21:40  dougsymington ->  hi Kapil, welcome
 21:22:18  kapil ->  hi everyone
 21:22:56  PeggyG ->  anytime you say "best way" you'll find a difference of opinion :-)
 21:23:16  injenuity ->  I would really like to see a poll of the people promoting remixing OER to see how many of them do it
 21:23:35  kapil ->  are we talking about OER ?
 21:24:04  tjtech ->  Thank you Doug! :D
 21:24:24  PeggyG ->  That's what we started talking about kapil -- kind of a free flowing conversation about many things related to OER
 21:25:52  kapil ->  i did a small project , just remixed science videos from youtube and other video sharing websites jeetv.kapilbhatia.com , it has 300 science videos , fortunately not many schools in india know any thing about blocking youtube
 21:27:19  PeggyG ->  @kapil you share some fantastic resources and are doing wonderful things!! thanks for the link!
 21:29:38  PeggyG ->  welcome back Miguel! hope you have some audio now. You should Skype in :-)
 21:29:43  Lorna ->  @kapil that is excellent work
 21:29:55  MGuhlin.org ->  @PeggyG yes, have audio...zap mamma almost threw me off!
 21:30:12  MGuhlin.org ->  Breaks are great!
 21:30:19  PeggyG ->  hooray! success!
 21:30:31  JL ->  I nominate Dave to be in charge of musical interludes for ETW
 21:30:45  MGuhlin.org ->  cute kids!
 21:30:50  tjtech ->  very sweet
 21:30:55  MGuhlin.org ->  no way! I'm a text freak!
 21:31:02  PeggyG ->  what an adorable picture!!
 21:31:35  kapil ->  http://learn.creativecommons.org/ - its a great resource for OER
 21:31:53  injenuity ->  I have a 2 year old poking me in the eye, so I should probably go
 21:32:08  injenuity ->  thanks for letting me backchannel
 21:32:26  dougsymington ->  thank you
 21:32:41  PeggyG ->  impressed with how easily you slipped in that music to the stream!
 21:33:36  dougsymington ->  ty
 21:33:43  dougsymington ->  @Peggy
 21:34:44  PeggyG ->  I'm having a hard time shifting my paradigm from the open education philosophy of the 60's and 70's to OER and internet.
 21:35:16  kapil ->  i read somewhere that around 300 universities around the world are thinking about doing something on the lines of MIT OCW http://ocwfinder.com/
 21:35:59  kapil ->  not sure about the number
 21:36:17  PeggyG ->  :-) Jeff
 21:37:10  kapil ->  great point
 21:37:22  MGuhlin.org ->  The Internet is the system, unfettered and unmoderated. Should we make everyone filter out what isn't relevant?
 21:37:24  guest478 ->  http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/oer.aspx
 21:37:49  guest478 ->  @miguel but is anyone really able to filter for everyone?
 21:37:52  MGuhlin.org ->  Why should you force others to drink from the firehose? Bringing order to chaos is human
 21:38:49  MGuhlin.org ->  @guest478 sure...gimme the beef...do I really want students to wade through the rest?
 21:38:55  MGuhlin.org ->  How's that for oppositional? ;->
 21:39:05  PeggyG ->  good job Miguel!
 21:39:44  MGuhlin.org ->  Internet=chaos, AcademicER=Order, OER=Chaos/Order Blend
 21:41:28  MGuhlin.org ->  Rhizomatic - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizome_(Philosophy)
 21:43:07  MGuhlin.org ->  Higher level = charter schooling content on the web. The rest make do with OER. OER is better because it's accessible by the masses and updated more? is this wisdom of crowds?
 21:44:03  PeggyG ->  really intrigued by your thoughts Miguel! sure wish you could join the skype call
 21:45:19  MGuhlin.org ->  @PeggyG I think better writing than I do speaking. Sorry. Anyways, just playing with ideas...I'm not putting forward a point of view that i understand deeply.
 21:45:49  MGuhlin.org ->  who is "me?"
 21:45:56  MGuhlin.org ->  I'm late.
 21:46:04  PeggyG ->  but I think I understand you--lot of deep thoughts going on here
 21:46:22  dougsymington ->  http://davecormier.com/edblog/2009/02/22/oers-shining-light-new-textbook...
 21:46:49  PeggyG ->  do you think it isn't sustainable because it doesn't generate funding?
 21:47:03  MGuhlin.org ->  Dave Cormier! Duh!
 21:47:26  kapil ->  i once approached MIT for distributing MIT content in DVDs in India as most people dont have good enough bandwidth for watching videos online
 21:48:10  kapil ->  i got permission for 1000 copies but its very expensive to replicate DVDs
 21:49:25  guest478 ->  http://www.myoops.org/en/
 21:49:38  PeggyG ->  LOL!!
 21:51:09  Lorna ->  want their money's worth
 21:51:50  PeggyG ->  Just saw the Cormier citation on the Rhizome (philosopahy wikipedia entry :-)
 21:52:17  guest478 ->  http://wearemedia.org
 21:53:03  PeggyG ->  I had a hard time finding the students who wanted to be in control of their own learning in my univrsity :-(
 21:53:20  dougsymington ->  hard after all that spoon-feeding
 21:53:31  Lorna ->  link not working on my computer
 21:53:45  PeggyG ->  didn't work for me either
 21:54:00  MGuhlin.org ->  http://www.wearemedia.org
 21:54:24  kapil ->  i see a huge value in OER for developing countries as long as it is not top down
 21:55:02  PeggyG ->  how could OER be top down?
 21:55:41  MGuhlin.org ->  how could i setup edtechtalk live on a district moodle?
 21:55:51  Lorna ->  blush
 21:55:53  MGuhlin.org ->  you know, learning conversations available 24/7
 21:56:07  Lorna ->  cheer
 21:56:08  kapil ->  for me , ETT is attending university and doing one of the best master degree course in edtech
 21:56:40  Lorna ->  I agree kapil
 21:56:52  PeggyG ->  Lorna and her team are awesome facilitators!! I always marvel at how they manage their conversations on their show!
 21:57:29  MGuhlin.org ->  ustream is blocked...no, I want to share EdTechTalk discussions with a schedule and people click to listen
 21:57:45  PeggyG ->  it is for me too kapil!
 21:57:54  Lorna ->  there is a calendar
 21:58:15  Lorna ->  awe ds wants to be on Pasp
 21:58:19  Lorna ->  any time
 21:58:34  Lorna ->  we are doing a speakers corner on MOnday night
 21:58:48  PeggyG ->  probably the best way to share the discussions is via recordings
 21:58:49  kapil ->  it usually starts at 7 am here in india, ETT is making me disciplined :-)
 21:58:53  Lorna ->  everyone is welcoe me to join

 21:59:53  kapil ->  i want to summarize ETT episodes in 100 words through a wiki for quick reference
 21:59:58  Lorna ->  man I learned way too much tonight
 22:00:12  PeggyG ->  saw someone's Netvibe's page of feeds for all of his Nings--it was a great model
 22:00:26  kapil ->  let me see how we can take that forward
 22:00:47  PeggyG ->  thanks for the stimulating conversation!
