19:37:32 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: twitter account for classroom, mrswsclass
19:38:08 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: The classroom account is locked for safety. People can follow if they are classrooms.
19:38:51 csitterley -> Room 1: I am listening and making Gingerbread cookies for a weekend event, but will be watching the chatroom as well
19:39:06 bobsprankle -> Room 1: multitasking at its best, cs!
19:39:07 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: Can I have a gingerbread with icing?
19:39:29 csitterley -> Room 1: Absolutely Cheryl-I will DM it in twitter
19:39:48 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: I like that dip a cup into the river, a little at a time.
19:40:09 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: welcome sarahsutter, how is you r week?
19:40:09 alicebarr -> Room 1: Hi sarah!
19:40:15 wingsonwater03 -> Room 1: how did you begin making the connections to other elementary classrooms that use twitter as a classroom.
19:40:29 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: great question, we will get to it.
19:40:40 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: sounds like this is the story
19:40:43 sarahsutter -> Room 1: Week going by quickly. Catching up.
19:40:54 bobsprankle -> Room 1: hi sarah!!
19:40:55 alicebarr -> Room 1: Me too
19:40:57 sarahsutter -> Room 1: Such a great idea to have Deb on !
19:41:04 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: thanks sarah
19:43:31 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: Harvest Moon sandwiches are yummy.
19:44:46 csitterley -> Room 1: Yay for the boy who was persuasive with his Dad-maybe he can be with other teachers as wekk
19:45:11 wingsonwater03 -> Room 1: :D
19:47:38 csitterley -> Room 1: The seatbelt example is perfect-my parents really never did wear those belts without reminders because they hadn't had them from youth
19:48:09 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: I like this description! baby steps and constant learning about netiquette
19:48:33 alicebarr -> Room 1: It becomes culture then, so great for the younger ones
19:48:58 sarahsutter -> Room 1: Think about the potential culture built if everyone started this early with these tools and netiquette discussions.
19:49:09 alicebarr -> Room 1: I like how Deb had adapted her classroom to incoorporate technology in the mix
19:49:40 alicebarr -> Room 1: Exactly Sarah, by the time they get to HS they will know all the good habits
19:49:42 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: Yes, it makes so much sense. We have the same conversation with 8th graders and HS'ers.
19:50:29 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: http://kidblog.org/room8isgreat/Ko/my-dog-backster/
19:50:39 csitterley -> Room 1: Sorry-came in late-what grade does Deb teach?
19:50:48 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: Deb is a grade 2 teacher
19:50:49 bobsprankle -> Room 1: 2nd
19:50:51 alicebarr -> Room 1: @csitterly Grade 2
19:51:02 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: Deb teaches in Orono, ME grade 2
19:51:15 wingsonwater03 -> Room 1: is "Elmo" the new "Zerox". Or does anyone say "document camera?"
19:51:26 csitterley -> Room 1: Thanks Alice-glad to hear that-need that for encouragement with my primary teachers
19:51:29 mjgormans -> Room 1: at second grade it seems this type of integration would be good with reluctant readers
19:51:41 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: It does doesn't it.
19:52:48 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: 140 characters limits the writing required, so cool.
19:53:24 mjgormans -> Room 1: with quick feedback
19:54:49 Ernie Cox -> Room 1: i'm going to ask this because i can hear the voice of a middle school grammar teacher at my school ... "do you require [i]proper[/i] usage"
19:55:11 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: http://kidblog.org/room8isgreat/Ko/my-dog-backster/
19:55:19 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: This is Deb class blog
19:57:04 sarahsutter -> Room 1: Especially when the nearest starbucks for us is . . . 30 minutes away.
19:57:09 Ernie Cox -> Room 1: how do you convince parents and other teachers that writing without fear of correction is vital?
19:57:21 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: good questions, we will ask
19:57:24 bobsprankle -> Room 1: great question ernie
19:57:27 alicebarr -> Room 1: Great question Ernie
19:57:32 alicebarr -> Room 1: Jinx!
19:59:15 debwhite -> Room 1: Ernie~ lots of education about the importance . . .
20:00:02 mjgormans -> Room 1: Also a way to use community experts as a resource
20:00:20 bobsprankle -> Room 1: kern!!
20:00:25 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: yes, community involvement is a way to expand the classroom
20:00:29 alicebarr -> Room 1: Yes would be a great way to connect with community
20:00:32 cheryloakes~Seedlings -> Room 1: Hey Kern,

20:02:29 Ernie Cox -> Room 1: that "real" audience is key
