It's my own PD and I can take it back to my students 16:01:35 mindelei : We are a laptop university here at NMU (I am also a nontraditional student), but many profs don't embrace the technology. You see a lot of ppt presentations and overheads. 16:01:39 Durff : welcome back 16:02:28 JoseRodriguez : Evengthough PPT still rule I do see use of moodles and blended classes with online and F2F work 16:02:35 scottmerrick : nobody is, i guess, hence we can't really assess "mastery" ... only expexperimental, adoptive, inclinations and flexible learning approaches, huh 16:02:42 Cathy E : What are the best tools? 16:02:53 JoseRodriguez : @scott I agree... 16:03:05 Durff : but i think mindi means knowing how to use 16:03:18 mindelei : I would like to see profs experimenting w/ tech too. 16:03:19 scottmerrick : 'spose we could establish a working rubrik for assessing "receptiveness and flexibility with new techs" 16:03:19 Durff : not a certain competancy level 16:03:26 JoseRodriguez : We can only assess if teachers are lifelong learners 16:03:42 Durff : it may not happen for you until masters 16:03:57 Durff : you're doing student teaching? 16:03:58 JoseRodriguez : It can be built in early on... 16:04:07 Durff : last semester? 16:04:10 mindelei : I'm not saying that every teacher needs to be a master of tech, but at least be comfortable to use & experiment with it. 16:04:30 scottmerrick : a very astute point about the constant struggle 16:04:31 Durff : i comfortable enough to break it 16:04:43 mindelei : ;) @ Durff 16:04:46 Durff : and i do often 16:05:13 gisele1 : I think even reluctant teachers typically become hooked on using tech if it's at their fingertips and they feel supported 16:05:22 Durff : yes 16:05:25 gisele1 : that's been the experience at our school 16:05:39 mindelei : I think it's funny, because I am not a "techie" but I seem to be ahead of the curve on some of the web2.0 items even just the knowledge of and discussion of it. 16:05:40 Durff : i try to find a use for each person 16:05:58 scottmerrick : lost audio 16:06:03 Durff : me too 16:06:04 gisele1 : even folks that couldn't open attachments are now exploring podcasting after having a data projector and laptop for a year 16:06:06 mindelei : me too 16:06:10 gisele1 : lost audio too 16:06:16 Durff : they may have gone thru a tunnel 16:06:17 mindelei : it's back 16:06:22 Durff : back 16:06:23 scottmerrick : if i could just share how much frickin' FUN it is to learn from all of you on a daily basis... 16:06:30 Durff : tunnels do that 16:06:34 JoseRodriguez : Teachers new and experienced respond positively to ongoingPD and support. 16:06:34 JoseRodriguez : It's a bit low 16:06:42 scottmerrick : something about a couch? 16:06:45 JoseRodriguez : It's a bit low on Patrick's side 16:06:52 Durff : it's gone 16:07:28 Durff : jose is doing his utmost 16:07:33 mindelei : One of the things that surprises me is that few of my profs have blogs or websites of their own. I'm not sure that they even read other blogs (journals seem to be the only important location of solid info). 16:07:39 scottmerrick : well, as i was saying, that's why i try to offer week long sessions to teachers new to 2.0 tech, TIME to noodle and seek and explore 16:08:11 JoseRodriguez : one seck While I get call back on. 16:08:17 pjhiggins : Sionce we lost the stream, does anyone have any questions for us? 16:08:18 scottmerrick : so maybe the model in preservice is a week long "unit" 16:08:21 mindelei : I think it's great that new & old teachers are becoming more interested in tech. But, I think that teacher training programs need to be solid there. 16:08:24 Durff : we are waiting patiently 16:08:58 mindelei : @scottmerrick Why just 1 week? Why not throughout? 16:09:08 Durff : mindi have you explored http://k12onlineconference.org/ ? 16:09:14 scottmerrick : as my pal Cathy in Arkansas says, there need to be an 'easy button' 16:09:23 Durff : scroll down to see the last two years 16:09:32 scottmerrick : a week of nothing but, chance to really explore 16:09:55 Durff : patience 16:10:01 mindelei : @Durff I have heard of that site, but will admit that I have not really explored. 16:10:06 Durff : i hate those phones too 16:10:14 Durff : explore 16:10:24 Durff : there is a wealth of learning 16:10:29 scottmerrick : but in lieu (sp) of that, deeper exploration of one or two techs throughout a semester is also a good thingie 16:10:42 Durff : thingie? 16:11:10 scottmerrick : slip of the typers...thing 16:11:21 Durff : :) 16:11:29 scottmerrick : that's a word i type like that, like "New Yourk" lol 16:12:03 Durff : the eagle has landed 16:12:04 mindelei : There is a one semester 1 credit Technology course in my class but the profs that teach it don't seem to be active in an online community. 16:12:13 scottmerrick : okay, ya'll the audio's driving me crazy and i'm going to go take a midday summer nap 16:12:14 Durff : earth we have contact 16:12:14 JoseRodriguez : ok we are back 16:12:20 scottmerrick : lol @Durff 16:12:24 scottmerrick : byeeeee 16:12:36 Durff : lol 16:12:57 JoseRodriguez : audio should be good now.. sorry.. 16:13:04 Durff : good now 16:13:06 Cathy E : yes, they don't want to give up control 16:13:21 mindelei : That makes sense the perpetuation. 16:13:30 Durff : opensource learning 16:13:40 Durff : who said that? 16:13:48 JoseRodriguez : Patrick? 16:13:56 Durff : no 16:13:57 Cathy E : they think they are not doing their job if they are not standing in front of the room "teaching" 16:14:05 Durff : it was cheryloakes 16:14:25 Durff : last summer during webcastacademy 16:14:31 JoseRodriguez : oh yeah OpenSource Learning right...
