SEEDLINGS SHOW # 50 discussing the Horizon Report 2009

Alice, Bob and Cheryl dissected the Horizon Report 2009. The chat room contains incredible resources and responses.

Alice, Bob and Cheryl did their homework and started the discussion about the Horizon Report 2009. One question we did not answer was how do the old reports measure up a year and up to 4 years later. That will be for you to decide, otherwise we would give it all away.

Listen to the show, leave a comment and come back for more. We are so happy to Worldbridges and Edtechtalk for sponsoring this show through the 50 episodes. Thanks again.

 19:44:13  DanWickedDecent  I'm trying to find a version that doesn't autoplay
 19:44:27  jan smith  It sort of blows you off your chair if you aren't ready for it
 19:44:54  bobsprankle  glad to hear that dan! yeah... it keeps scaring the dog
 19:44:57  jan smith  (my 13 yr old just got an electirc guitar, so your site may be quieter

 19:46:45  mrsdurff  hi mhall
 19:46:48  JeffWickedDecent  Any WDL listeners out there?
 19:46:59  mrsdurff  hi peggy
 19:47:12  jan smith  Ok, can you wicked decent guys pronounce "Ayuh!" for us--is it a Maine thing? Or am I just too old?
 19:47:41  mrsdurff  translation?
 19:47:54  Lisa Parisi  This is new to be Jeff.  Will be checking it out after the show. 
 19:47:58  cheryloakes~seedlings  it is an affirmation
 19:48:02  jan smith  I don't know durff, it's on the blog
 19:48:05  Lisa Parisi  new to me...not new to be
 19:48:18  PeggyGeorge  had to log in again and now there's two of me --oh dear!
 19:48:50  jan smith  It's like yut yut yut.
 19:48:51  TimLevesque  I feel a little out of place here..anyone else from "The County" here?
 19:48:53  cheryloakes~seedlings  Peggy, you have cloned yourself
 19:48:55  alicebarr  @Peggy the more the merrier
 19:49:01  Lisa Parisi  Now I get to learn about a whole new Maine language
 19:49:09  PeggyGeorge  that's scary!!
 19:49:09  jan smith  The scoopy breath is very eastern canada too.
 19:49:20  mrsdurff  oh my...we have fallen in our level of conversation
 19:49:31  jan smith  (Sorry , I got you off topic...:)
 19:49:37  mrsdurff  hi crista
 19:49:38  cheryloakes~seedlings  it is a Maine thingy
 19:49:54  mrsdurff  you Maine people
 19:50:19  DanWickedDecent  we're a rare breed up here
 19:50:30  TimLevesque  We get understand "the language"  here...we just don't condone it.
 19:50:32  mrsdurff  I can see that
 19:50:41  DanWickedDecent  if you've ever heard WDL, you know the danger of getting Dan & Jeff off topic
 19:50:56  mrsdurff  I need to listen
 19:51:25  cheryloakes~seedlings  we really did start out with education purpose and teaching and learning.
 19:51:39  bobsprankle  it really was amazing
 19:52:30  cheryloakes~seedlings  hello just saw crista stopped by, hello,
 19:53:36  Crista  Hi there!
 19:54:00  PeggyGeorge  http://wickeddecentlearning.blogspot.com/  is this the right link for the podcast blog?
 19:54:11  mrsdurff  I remember dialup
 19:54:12  DanWickedDecent  yup!
 19:54:20  alicebarr  Those packets are still available at http://www.actem.org/pages/Actem_Seed/index
 19:54:46  jan smith  Ok, I am still teaching some to make folders & use tabs on a browser :)
 19:54:50  TimLevesque  remember the term..baud
 19:54:59  mrsdurff  I have to be polite when faculty at my school are so proud about creating webquests
 19:55:02  cheryloakes~seedlings  yes peggy, you will get music
 19:55:06  jan smith  As in nice baud?
 19:55:16  PeggyGeorge  sure did :-)
 19:55:19  TimLevesque  lol
 19:55:26  derrallg  ok, back a teacher deleted her entrourage acct throught the district server
 19:55:37  cheryloakes~seedlings  Durff, absolutely, I am encouraging a new teacher to try webquests, it is a good solid place for folks to start.
 19:55:44  lorenchuk  @mrsdurff - me too, that and powerpoint, still
 19:55:49  DanWickedDecent  webquests still have the potential to be very exhilibarting and effective learnign experiences -- but there are just so many bad ones and misapplied theory
 19:56:23  mrsdurff  but they are a start
 19:56:32  mrsdurff  hi sheila
 19:56:33  cheryloakes~seedlings  they are a good start, I believe.
 19:56:37  cheryloakes~seedlings  Welcome Shelia!!
 19:56:39  derrallg  I haven't really used webquests in a long time
 19:56:50  sheila  Hi all! Multiple crashes but finally here!
 19:56:58  derrallg  Hi Sheila
 19:57:04  alicebarr  Hi Sheila
 19:57:09  mrsdurff  not car crashes i hope
 19:57:12  sheila  Hey everyone!  :)
 19:57:14  cheryloakes~seedlings  I was looking at the whole webquest and it not only is good for technology but it is a good thing for teachers who need to differentiate and teach to small gropus
 19:57:17  cheryloakes~seedlings  groups.
 19:57:25  PeggyGeorge  there is definitely a need for mentoring and support in learning new things
 19:57:31  lorenchuk  the best learning occurs when the students can create quality webquests or hypermedia projects on their own
 19:57:32  sheila  Just computer crashes  :)
 19:57:33  cheryloakes~seedlings  Shelia, we had many snafus at the beginning
 19:58:11  cheryloakes~seedlings  Oh, Lorenchuk, that is the perfect point!!! When teachers use them then kids create, it is the best.
 19:58:14  Lisa Parisi  Hello Sheila
 19:58:16  DanWickedDecent  powerpoints aren't inherently bad either -- just misseused
 19:58:20  jan smith  oops
 19:58:24  sheila  Hey Lisa!
 19:58:27  mrsdurff  welcome back jan
 19:58:32  cheryloakes~seedlings  glad you came back Jan
 19:58:39  PeggyGeorge  so glad you made it Sheila--perseverance!!
 19:58:45  jan smith  Sorry finger trouble
 19:59:02  lorenchuk  @chreryloakes yes, the time is the issue
 19:59:21  TimLevesque  I remember having to program out bad sectors on new hard drives..
 19:59:37  cheryloakes~seedlings  Tim, whew! I still don't know what that is.
 19:59:40  jan smith  I just wish there was a way to show teachers how much they have grown, even with little steps.
 19:59:51  PeggyGeorge  the technology is winning this afternoon/evening. My first login just disappeared all on it's own :-)
 19:59:53  lorenchuk  @DanWicked Decent, now all the tools can adapt but they so quickly descend
 20:00:11  cheryloakes~seedlings  Peggy, maybe your clone has gone t o another show?
 20:00:23  lorenchuk  :-)
 20:00:48  TimLevesque  Speaking of voice recognition...has anyone found anything better than Naturally Speaking?
 20:00:48  PeggyGeorge  funny Cheryl!!
 20:00:55  Lisa Parisi  Have to head out.  Thanks for the learning.  Can't wait to check out the show.  bye all.
 20:01:07  alicebarr  BYe Lisa! Thanks for coming!
 20:01:12  derrallg  bye Lisa
 20:01:19  bobsprankle  by e lisa!
 20:01:29  PeggyGeorge  I use the text-to-speech built into my Mac. It works pretty well!
 20:01:43  PeggyGeorge  bye Lisa
 20:01:46  cheryloakes~seedlings  Peggy, yes, I like to show kids how to use that.
 20:02:06  jan smith  I guess there needs to be consolidation time
 20:02:18  bobsprankle  @peggy it's gotten much better since the early days!
 20:02:27  PeggyGeorge  I think it has too
 20:02:44  mrsdurff  We don't have inspiration
 20:02:55  derrallg  If I just go by teachers around me I don't think I'd be motivated to continue to stretch my use of the tools in the classroom
 20:02:59  alicebarr  @durff Inspiration is now online free
 20:03:02  mrsdurff  some machines don't have Word
 20:03:05  alicebarr  wespiration.com
 20:03:08  jan smith  there is CMAP (free)
 20:03:11  PeggyGeorge  have you tried the free online version of Inspiration-mywebspiration.com
 20:03:14  alicebarr  webspiration.com
 20:03:16  mrsdurff  we can't download anything
 20:03:20  mrsdurff  hi kern
 20:03:20  TimLevesque  wait ..it's free now?
 20:03:26  lorenchuk  We stay with what is safe, large scale use with advanced thinking and problem solving is harder to advance
 20:03:31  Kern  Hey Druff
 20:03:32  alicebarr  @Tim for now
 20:03:32  derrallg  @alice someone said its only free until March, not sure though
 20:03:37  cheryloakes~seedlings  Durff, you can't download, that is absurd
 20:03:40  PeggyGeorge  think it's http://www.mywebspiration.com ??
 20:03:41  mrsdurff  our IT is a piece of work
 20:03:46  Kern  Is that Jeff and Dan!
 20:03:49  mrsdurff  power hungry
 20:03:50  alicebarr  @derrallg Ah I wondered for how long! Thanks
 20:03:56  cheryloakes~seedlings  hey Kern,welcome
 20:04:02  Kern  Hi Cheryl
 20:04:10  bobsprankle  hey kern!
 20:04:11  alicebarr  HI Kern
 20:04:14  mrsdurff  yes cheryl it is absurd
 20:04:14  cheryloakes~seedlings  Yes, Kern.

 20:04:39  JeffWickedDecent  Hey Kern
 20:04:47  cheryloakes~seedlings  Durff, you are such a leader and your kids must love you.
 20:04:54  TimLevesque  I built a jeopardy game in power point once
 20:04:57  DanWickedDecent  Dan is hyper audiotorially distractable -- so forgive me if I'm not as active in the chat
 20:04:59  mrsdurff  don't tell anyone
 20:05:02  adinasullivan  @Durff I can't download anything anymore either.  ALl rights removed from everyone but IT over the summer
 20:05:12  mrsdurff  i teach them how to go around the filters
 20:05:19  cheryloakes~seedlings  Oh, adina, that is just terrible.
 20:05:33  lorenchuk  cmap is really simple, there is bubble.com (or org) free, not as many pictures and symbols but free
 20:05:37  derrallg  what did DAvid Byrne do?
 20:05:38  mrsdurff  flash drives do wonders adina
 20:05:47  TimLevesque  It annoys me how powerpoint is overused and misused..such a powerful tool and people dont even realize the potential :( 
 20:05:54  alicebarr  @Derrallg Talking Heads
 20:05:55  adinasullivan  @durff yes ma'am the do

 20:06:56  PeggyGeorge  I got it in the Seedlings chat :-) very helpful!
 20:07:06  alicebarr  @Kern Yes! Amazing
 20:07:17  TimLevesque  @mrsdurff surround your school in aluminum foil..block all frequencies lol
 20:07:43  mrsdurff  i think not
 20:07:49  lorenchuk  in Maine that must be cold
 20:07:50  cheryloakes~seedlings  oh Tim, very funny
 20:08:00  Kern  @alice it inspired a couple of my kids to make something similar (but more appropriate ;)
 20:08:05  derrallg  @TimLevesque recreate Andy Warhols Factory
 20:08:13  mrsdurff  i want to teach learners how to exploit the technology not block it
 20:08:18  alicebarr  @Kern :)
 20:08:42  alicebarr  @lorenchuk it's getting colder tonight
 20:08:51  Kern  I listen!
 20:08:55  mrsdurff  ok everyone - listen to WDL
 20:09:04  PeggyGeorge  great question Cheryl!
 20:09:05  cheryloakes~seedlings  you got it durff.
 20:09:06  mrsdurff  raise their stats
 20:09:15  cheryloakes~seedlings  thanks PeggyG
 20:09:20  cheryloakes~seedlings  anyone in the chat with questions.
 20:09:42  mrsdurff  i have parents listening multiple times to the K & 1st graders
 20:09:48  cheryloakes~seedlings  These guys are teachers like all of us. Look what they've done.
 20:09:48  TimLevesque  @derrallg I had to look up the factory...that's exactly what her school would like afterward though :)
 20:09:59  mrsdurff  the stats show me and parents tell me
 20:10:15  cheryloakes~seedlings  Durff, that is satisfying
 20:10:29  mrsdurff  teachers who are possibly touched in the head?
 20:10:36  JeffWickedDecent  http://blubrry.com/ is our new podcast hosting service
 20:10:44  cheryloakes~seedlings  like the rest of us:-)
 20:10:56  Crista  People like me (Montana...)
 20:10:57  mrsdurff  it means i should give up planning periods for it
 20:11:06  lorenchuk  I haven't opened the website yet because of the music warning
 20:11:17  cheryloakes~seedlings  Yeah Crista, like us in Maine
 20:11:34  derrallg  @lorenchuk the player is towards the top so you can pause it quickly :)
 20:11:53  PeggyGeorge  @lorenchuk--wise!! but you can pause it pretty quickly :-)
 20:12:02  TimLevesque  @lorenchuk yeh the warning helps..I didn't know music was coming so it confused me..i was looking for where it was coming from
 20:12:12  sheila  What resources do they use to remain current?
 20:12:17  Crista  Hope that made sense...forgot I had paused "me in Montana" was about distant listeners ;)
 20:12:27  derrallg  @Sheila that's a good question
 20:12:29  lorenchuk  ok, here goes, It always worries me when live that my sound will invade yours
 20:13:03  cheryloakes~seedlings  it doesn't lorenchuk, don't worry, but it is startling
