Seedlings 2009-09-17 with Mary O Brien and Tim Hart

Post-Show description: 

Join Alice, Bob and Cheryl as we talk to Tim Hart, from the University of Maine, College of Human Development and Mary O'Brien, 3rd grade teacher from Manchester, ME. We have a great conversation and learn a lot about Second Life and the courses Tim teaches and Mary speaks as a student and extraordinary builder in Second Life!

Tim mentioned this article from the UMaine Today magazine where Lyra Hall talks about her experiences with John Sherblom's Communication and Technology Course.

The Chat speaks volumes!

19:28:06 DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: Screen size is being reported as too small so the test taker won't open.
19:28:26 DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: Made for a fun first few days of testing.
19:28:43 Techplex Engineer -> -EdTechTalk: my school got nwea to run on the mac books
19:29:08 DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: if NWEA would come out with a linux version of test taker, it would help.

19:42:17 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Cathy E
19:42:32 Tim -> -EdTechTalk: I should have thought that
19:42:32 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: Hi CathyE, welcome
19:43:01 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: oh no--a textbook on SL?? should be electronic!
19:43:04 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: DaveC, not simulcasting since I don't know how much bandwidth I can stand while webcasting,
19:43:11 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: maybe we can go in later
19:43:14 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: the blue very expensive textbook
19:43:20 DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: I'm using THE WORLD IS OPEN for the next term.
19:43:29 Tim -> -EdTechTalk: That is a great book
19:43:33 Tim -> -EdTechTalk: just finished it
19:43:42 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @Dave C author?

19:46:23 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: Hi LindaN
19:46:31 LindaN -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Everyone!
19:46:39 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: We share tools and gadgets
19:48:20 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I would be much more enthusiastic about SL if my computer didn't freeze up so often while I'm there!
19:48:39 Mary O -> -EdTechTalk: Hey Peggy that can be frustrating
19:48:50 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: Peggy, that is one thing that may keep it from k-12, not only bandwidth, but workstations
19:48:53 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: @Tim I agree with you
19:48:54 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: it's so disappointing
19:49:05 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: it is a creation tool
19:49:08 Techplex Engineer -> -EdTechTalk: ANd latin
19:49:33 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: but I've been able to participate in a lot of awesome webinars and conversations on SL so I'm not giving up!
19:49:52 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: Great Peggy, it does offer a certain comraderiere
19:49:55 Techplex Engineer -> -EdTechTalk: 3d demonstrations
19:50:07 LindaN -> -EdTechTalk: Have any of you heard about Genesis- a MUVE program being created for students with students also helping to build the world?
19:50:18 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: @Peggy I agree with you I have been to amazing conferences
19:50:20 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Opinionator?? sounds wonderful!
19:50:26 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: LindaN do you have a link?
19:50:33 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: It is a cool gadget
19:50:42 Mary O -> -EdTechTalk: Entrophy Hax  created the Opinionator
19:51:06 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: aren't all second lifers "anti-traditional" in a way??
19:51:15 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: and you can fly
19:51:15 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: true peggyg
19:51:30 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: and walk into walls :-)
19:51:37 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: lol
19:51:43 LindaN -> -EdTechTalk: I am looking for the link- not sure it is actually active yet for sharing with others
19:51:50 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: or my speciality walk on chairs
19:51:56 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: thanks LindaN
19:52:15 DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: I think I just added everyone as an SL friend.  So when you get an invite from Dee Clary....it's me.
19:52:26 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: or my specialty--standing for whole sessions because I can't figure out how to sit down without embarrassing myself :-)
19:52:27 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: thanks davec

19:58:21 anniek -> -EdTechTalk: @alicebarr -- no, not yet. My goal is to get them there by the end of the year. My district was supportive until all the budget issues in PA (no state budget has hurt school districts).
19:58:22 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: yes, Quest Atlantis, is a great online environment
19:58:23 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: This is the blog that the Phoenix students are using to write about their SL experiences--very interesting!! http://pesdisland.blogspot.com/

20:07:34 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: Scratch works in Open Sim
20:08:09 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: They need direction and structure
20:08:20 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: but they love building
20:09:07 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: Yes thanks to you Roberto
20:09:29 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: @Alice I agree with you
20:09:31 Techplex Engineer -> -EdTechTalk: Hupergrid
20:09:40 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: OPen Sim, Edusim are they the same?
20:09:47 Mary O -> -EdTechTalk: What is that Tech?
20:10:00 Techplex Engineer -> -EdTechTalk: allows opensim to connect to sl places
20:10:12 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: thanks TechPlex
20:10:25 Techplex Engineer -> -EdTechTalk: @alice someday that will be possible
20:10:27 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: The move from SL to create a separation of adult sims and PG sims is a good move towards that
20:10:54 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: Open Sim is Alpha but is fun
20:11:11 DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: I'm in NH but wouldn't mind playing :-D
20:11:22 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: Yes Please DAve C!!!
20:11:35 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: @Dave the more the merrier
20:11:44 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: The students that I meet with and Roberto are going to try to meet on Tuesday afternoons this year
20:12:27 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: If you want to join us at 2:30ish at least there will be some folks to play with
20:12:53 LindaN -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Kim!
20:12:54 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: evening kim!
20:12:55 Mary O -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Kim
20:12:58 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: I am dying for them to create a learning space that is non traditional
20:13:36 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: how difficult is it to stream and record SL sessions?
20:13:37 kcaise -> -EdTechTalk: hi everyone!
20:13:38 DaveC -> -EdTechTalk: I might be able to do Tues at 2:30.  If not, I can do 3:10.
20:13:48 Roberto Borda -> -EdTechTalk: @Alice with Scratch 4 SL we might be able to do some cool things
20:13:52 Debbarrows -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Kim
20:14:01 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: @Dave C Yes Join us!
20:14:08 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: E-mail Tim for an account
20:14:14 cheryloakes~ SEEDLINGS -> -EdTechTalk: I want to do scratch in SL
