21:19:22 Gail Desler: The video will be online this week. Peggy
21:19:27 PeggyG: great Gail!
21:20:12 PeggyG: I heard about that on the news--the 11 yr old drawings :-)
21:20:40 PeggyG: isn't she an incredible model for all of us?!
21:21:54 PeggyG: wouldn't that be great to have an art gallery of voices from the gulf! love it!
21:24:17 PeggyG: This includes an interview transcript with Olivia Bowler on CNN-very interesting http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1006/08/cnr.02.html [24]
21:24:38 PeggyG: you have to scroll way down towards the bottom of the page
21:26:12 PeggyG: which site is Paul referring to?
21:28:00 Gail Desler: The advanced search feature on Google and Creative Commons via Flickr, Peggy
21:28:09 PeggyG: thanks
21:28:31 PeggyG: I agree about the interpretation of adding value to the piece for copyright issue
21:32:44 PeggyG: I thought Paul was referring to a specific site where the photos were located about the Gulf (not the part about how to find images on Creative Commons
21:33:16 PeggyG: those are really thoughtful questions Erin!
21:33:50 PeggyG: are you planning to write a blog post about that Erin including your self-reflection questions? That would be really powerful!
21:37:44 PeggyG: This is a really informative page on Voices on the Gulf! http://voicesonthegulf.org/about [25]
21:38:21 PeggyG: so she has not internet access right now?
21:39:08 PeggyG: funny! who has the "power" to push the button to get something unblocked :-)
21:39:14 PeggyG: good job Gail!!
21:40:00 PeggyG: love it when that works!!
21:40:18 Gail Desler: I'm in the same office with the person who blocks and unblocks - I work really hard to stay on his good side;-)
21:41:31 PeggyG: This page by Chris Sloan looks so good! http://voicesonthegulf.org/icon [26]
21:42:17 PeggyG: sounds like it's paying off Gail :-) he's a good friend to have :-)
21:43:17 PeggyG: that's a great approach David! the students will find their way and take ownership of the project
21:43:27 Gail Desler: He's not a teacher, so often it's just a matter of explaining the value of a site
21:44:48 PeggyG: that's a really authentic way to learn to evaluate validity of information on the internet!
21:45:09 PeggyG: and everyone has a personal story to tell :-)
21:45:50 PeggyG: should use the front page newspaper website to compare different versions of the stories around the world!
21:46:15 Gail Desler: Peggy, do you have the URL
21:46:22 PeggyG: http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/ [27]

21:49:32 Gail Desler: Thanks, Peggy
21:49:55 PeggyG: 5 million a week spent by BP on advertising? wow!!
21:50:05 PeggyG: wish that money could go to schools!
21:51:15 PeggyG: hard to trust that message of burying the hatchet and working together isn't it?
21:54:27 PeggyG: http://voicesonthegulf.org/posts [30]
21:56:30 PeggyG: This is a great post Gail!! http://voicesonthegulf.org/discussion/oil-and-water-dont-mix [31]
