[buthaina] Bye Bye, all..
[JeffLebow] It's being re-webcast now
[teacherruth] Bye Buth
[JeffLebow] Bye Buth

[aiden] what's the site again?
[cbsiskin] and the educational prices for the video ipods are even lower
[aiden] can you type it here?
[ElizabethHS] ehow.com
[ElizabethHS] Mobility is the issue, though
[bee] see you...must go and vote in the referendum now
[ElizabethHS] Good luck to Brazil, Bee!
[ElizabethHS] Got it--like Excel
[bee] let's see what happens..whether they prohibit the sale of ammunition and arms here or not
[cbsiskin] no not like excel -- excell is a spreadsheet
[bee] see you
[ElizabethHS] Won't stop violence--see Pinker, The Blank slate
[bee] I know
[bee] education is the solution
[cbsiskin] well pinker is highly controversial
[bee] and satisfying people's basic needs...giving them a chance...empowering them
[ElizabethHS] yes, Bee--and econ development
[bee] anyhow...see you
[ElizabethHS] C;ya
[cbsiskin] see you bee
bee has left the chat.
[daf] that would be a great gift: a video ipod :-)
[cbsiskin] daf, you are moving to spain?
[daf] yes, i hope I can do it early next year
[sroseman] http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCooki...
[cbsiskin] why, if I may ask?
[sroseman] good for previewing photos and watching videos
[daf] well, I don't like in a dictatorship :-(
[sroseman] nice sized screen
[daf] living in a...
[cbsiskin] understandable, daf
[cbsiskin] i understood what you meant
[daf] :-)
[ElizabethHS] Address for the Yahoo search?
[ElizabethHS] video search?
[dave_on_air] ?q=node/115
[dave_on_air] show notes
Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor has joined the chat.
[cbsiskin] so many jeffs :-)
[daf] yes, a jeffy world ;-)
[aiden] lol
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] Yes so many Jeff and so little time
jo has joined the chat.
[ElizabethHS] Good notes--thanks for pointing to this excellent resource. You guys have this well organized!
[elderbob] Great advice.
ElizabethHS has left the chat.
[su_on_mac] I get such emails phishing for passwords, titled : You recently changed your password (which I did not)
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] Dave do you think it is because of all the links on other blogs linking to your feedbook
[daf] just delete them, Sus
[elderbob] I wonder if blog spam raises your google ranking?
[su_on_mac] you bewt I do Daf :-)
[dave_on_air] probably
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] Yes Flock I am using it right now
[dave_on_air] skype in to tell us about it jeff!
[aiden] yes, i got those comments. I always tell my students they can delete these kind of comments
[daf] my students are annoyed by the spam on their newly-created blogger blogs
ElizabethHS has joined the chat.
[elderbob] I think I will stay with Firefox and extensions for now.
[cbsiskin] wb elizabeth
[daf] yes, they delete them, and they have activated the word verification feature
[su_on_mac] Daf - do your students ask for resctricted comments in Blogger, where you need to verify the comment user?
[ElizabethHS] Yeah--I checked the blog and used Back--so got lost.
[daf] but having 5 nasty comments in a row is not nice
cbsiskin has left the chat.
[elderbob] Of course maybe firefox will join with flock and then it will be fireflock
[sroseman] we have OPERA and SAFARI and FIREFOX installed
[dave_on_air] the problem was that they were VERY nice comments
[dave_on_air] "i love your blog, it's great, buy my stuff"
[daf] yes, Dave that's what those messages are about
[sroseman] how many browsers can you have?
[dave_on_air] zillions
[dave_on_air] i run 3 regularly
[dave_on_air] konqueror, opera and firefox
[aiden] how can jeff in ann arbor join the voice chat?
[dave_on_air] skype
[su_on_mac] when you have eventual problems with using both Elluminate and Horizon Wimba, it can be a good idea...
[su_on_mac] to have one browser for each system'
[dave_on_air] all you need to do if you want to talk is skype 'worldbridges'
[dave_on_air] hi jo...
[aiden] thanks, dave
[dave_on_air] sleepy this time of night?
[jo] Hi, Dave
[dave_on_air] thanks for staying up!
[elderbob] Jeff will you describe how that is done.
[jo] I tried to go to bed but then got up again
[dave_on_air] lol
[ElizabethHS] NiceCast? ShoutCast?
[sroseman] 50 in a conference call ..a plus for the Mac
[ElizabethHS] OK--Shoutcast?
ElizabethHS has left the chat.
[dave_on_air] shoutcast is...
[dave_on_air] oh. she left
sus_back_on_mac has joined the chat.
[sus_back_on_mac] why am I hearsing such echo?
[dave_on_air] we fixed
[dave_on_air] it
[sus_back_on_mac] yes, I hear that now :-))
[elderbob] The echo is because Jeff is listening over speakers.
Elizabeth_H-S has joined the chat.
[Elizabeth_H-S] Trying out any links from the Notes seems to bump me from the Chatroom.
[jo] Elizabeth, try having another window open to try out the links
[sroseman] nicecast http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21347#screenshots
[sroseman] http://www.rogueamoeba.com/nicecast/
[Elizabeth_H-S] I just figured that out, Jo, thankx
[jo] :D
[Elizabeth_H-S] From here a new window opens--it's just from the notes that I have the problem.
su_on_mac has left the chat.
[sus_back_on_mac] I'd like to learn more about how you can Skype in an analog phone call, suah as we plan to do with Etienne for the Nordic voice
[Elizabeth_H-S] Do people here in the chatroom have speaking ability?
[dave_on_air] yes
[sus_back_on_mac] NV online conference
[elderbob] So that would mean that with Gizmo, you could increase the number of voice participants.
[dave_on_air] you can skype in at 'worldbridges'
[elderbob] and it adds video
[sus_back_on_mac] Elizabeth, you would need to call on Skype
[Elizabeth_H-S] ic
[daf] skype: worldbridges
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] which usb mike do you use?
[elderbob] Jeff and Dave, why do you prefer Skype over Gizmo.
[elderbob] Another words, a training class or time for Gizmo users might be nice
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] same one I have
[daf] Skype sound is great
[sus_back_on_mac] I got a beautiful new headset, Sennheiser 160
[elderbob] If I were doing a limited class, have folks take a class in how to use the Gizmo set up or the Skype set up.
[elderbob] Gizmo is open source, Skype is ont.
[elderbob] not
[Elizabeth_H-S] Skype works well over my cell phone. I assume Gizmo does too?
[Elizabeth_H-S] Makes the call in free.
[elderbob] I had trouble in earlier versions but now it seems to have improved.
[sus_back_on_mac] sounds like great corporate fun
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] any mac folks us iChat much?
[sus_back_on_mac] nope, not me Jeff
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] I did a little but the audio is much less than skype
[elderbob] My thoughts exactly.
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] we use the text IM in iChat at my schools and work much than
[elderbob] Thanks very much for looking into my Gizmo question.
[daf] I use YM with my students
[sus_back_on_mac] popTech?
[jo] YM?
[daf] Yahoo Messenger
[jo] Oh, thanx
[daf] for group work
[daf] and consulting hours
[sus_back_on_mac] hehe
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] web cast and pod cast "Moving at the speed of Creativity"
[daf] :-)
[aiden] thanks, that's a compliment :-)
[JeffLebow] http://www.speedofcreativity.org/
[daf] interesting!
[sus_back_on_mac] Webheads are activists, homegrown virtual nomads
[Elizabeth_H-S] Reading is beyond words, too. You need to subconsciously understand contextual properties.
[daf] pragmatics
[sus_back_on_mac] that's why score testting does not really reveal if kids are ready to put their knowledge into action
[sroseman] need alot of real world experiences before you read
[Elizabeth_H-S] Depends on the test, Sus.
[sus_back_on_mac] perhaps I understand teh term "test" in a narrow sense
[sus_back_on_mac] in Danish education testing is still pretty controversial
[Elizabeth_H-S] skimming and scanning were always taught--but in higher level classes.
[daf] tests should be learning experiences
[Elizabeth_H-S] I disagree Daf--it would be mixing two modes--learning and assessing
[aiden] got to go folks, thanks and good night, from taiwan
aiden has left the chat.
[Elizabeth_H-S] g'nite, Aiden--see you at EVO
[daf] of course they are part of the assessement process, but they should let the students learn
[daf] what they know and what they have to go back to. Tests should not be given just for grades
[elderbob] Robert Horn's Visual Language.
[Elizabeth_H-S] I agree there, Daf
[daf] as they do in my university. Teachers then, teach to the test
[daf] I mean they test for a grade
[sus_back_on_mac] yay
[daf] and teach for the test
[Elizabeth_H-S] Chris will be demonstrating to newcomers.
[elderbob] In Dallas, yahooo.
[daf] I will present with her at alado
[Elizabeth_H-S] I hope to join in LT.
[daf] Buth will present at LT with Chris
[elderbob] Communities of Practice?
[Elizabeth_H-S] We have presence.
[daf] it will be MVP session
[daf] lol
[daf] that was sus' description
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] What will be the screen sharing or will it all be audio?
[daf] there will be page pushing at alado
[daf] and PPT slides at LT
[Elizabeth_H-S] Too loud, Sus
[daf] yes
[Elizabeth_H-S] Sounds great to me!
[Elizabeth_H-S] Sus--you faded out.
Sus_back has joined the chat.
[Sus_back] sorry but I was cut off skype
[Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor] I apologize for my lack of knowledge but I don't know alado nor sure what LT stands for
[Elizabeth_H-S] Elluminate is easier to make work than Alado.
[daf] I find alado very easy
[Sus_back] the Nordic Voice conference page is at http://www.nordiskestemme.dk
[daf] I had problems trying to get all my grad students to LT
[daf] even though I created a tutorial for dummies using Camtasia
[Sus_back] it is free of charge and anyone with an interest in language and ICT is welcome
[daf] I spent almost 45 minutes in YM herding them to the Elluminate room
[daf] maybe because they don't speak english and they got scared when faced with a all-english site
[Elizabeth_H-S] don't forget Video Online -- Mike Marzio and I will be talking about some video resources for teachers and Mike's new video
[Elizabeth_H-S] Video Online will be in the Webheads convergence conference.
[JeffLebow] Elizabeth, are available to skype?
[Elizabeth_H-S] I guess I'd say, no--I'd have to go dig out my skype account, eh?
[Elizabeth_H-S] Not worth--keep up Sus
[Elizabeth_H-S] Conference site is up with times!
[Elizabeth_H-S] Sorry--I was referring to the Webheads' conference.
sus_back_on_mac has left the chat.
[daf] VAnce is going to Skype to talk about our WiAOC
[Elizabeth_H-S] Great!
[daf] but can talk about EVO, Eliz,
[daf] you
[Elizabeth_H-S] OK--hang on 2 secs--the household is just waking up.
[daf] lol
[Elizabeth_H-S] 916-524-6988
[daf] that was fast, eliz
[Elizabeth_H-S] Cross-talk...
[Elizabeth_H-S] Did want to mention the EVO in Jan-Feb
[daf] We want to hear about our WiAOC, Vance ;-)
Jeff_in_Ann_Arbor has left the chat.
[elderbob] Now I am hearing myself on the delay.
[daf] nice to hear Elizabeth
[Sus_back] yes, Elizabeth has a very clear and fine voice call!!
[daf] when Sus starts talking she won't stop, Jeff, she might take your place ;-)
[Sus_back] Vnace is not in here and he cannot hear US in the Skype room
[Sus_back] oh Daf!!!
[daf] lol
elderbob has left the chat.
[Sus_back] I have stopped talking!
[dave_on_air] oh no!
[daf] lol
[Sus_back] a roundtable discussion sounds very interesting
[Sus_back] sounds like a cool session Elizabeth, can you invite Webheads for that particular session, we promise to be good
[Sus_back] i will jump out so someone else can get into Skype
[daf] yes, just like this year
[daf] Tere and I will be delivering Becoming a Webhead in its third round
[Sus_back] <i just jumped out from the Skype room without saying goodbye, perhaps very impolite'
[Elizabeth_H-S] [email protected]
[Sus_back] actually I would need to start some cooking dinner!
[Elizabeth_H-S] Sus--it's breakfast time for us!
[daf] almost lunch time for me
[Sus_back] and I am in a team of three co-moderators preparing an EVO blog course with Jane and Anna
[Sus_back] we do hear you so well Vance
[daf] the sound is great here
[Elizabeth_H-S] I agree, Vance
[Sus_back] i just found out I will be in Spain for the TESOL week
[Sus_back] so I will probably have to do with recorded podcasts
[Sus_back] the TESOL 2005 Webheads Fiesta was audioblogged live from Austin
[daf] I hope to be in Tampa
[Sus_back] so you will not be in Spain that week :-(
[daf] I have not been to TESOL for 3 years in a row
[daf] he he, the TESOL Alado session
Sus_back has left the chat.
Sus_back has joined the chat.
[daf] well,I think we need to be critical when a tools is not used in the best way
sroseman has left the chat.
[daf] are
[daf] they could have recorded a video-conference
[Sus_back] I found out I was not able to text chat because I wanted to know the name of the presenter and I would have asked someone in p¾r
[daf] and then people would have asked the questions in a forum
[daf] Vance cannot read these comments
[Elizabeth_H-S] Did anyone give them feedback??
[daf] well, we have discussed this issue in the WiA list
[JeffLebow] Would anyone else like to skype in to offer feedback?
[JeffLebow] We like interactivity!
[daf] Andy said that they had not want to rehearse
[jo] Well, guys, I guess I'm off to bed now. See you next time.
[daf] they had no time to rehearse
[JeffLebow] Thanks for staying up JO
jo has left the chat.
[JeffLebow] Sleep well
[daf] and to get to know how to use Alado
[Sus_back] This is indeed a problem I am also experiencing with the Nordic voice conference; presenters/discussion leaders are not aware...
[Sus_back] how much they would need to train with a new online environment
[Sus_back] the idea of having personal coaches sounds very heloful'
[daf] yes
[Elizabeth_H-S] TESOL isn't really on our WiA list, so maybe Vance should summarize for John?
[Elizabeth_H-S] Alado just gives Mac users so many problems, for some reason.
[Sus_back] I agree, John and Margo should know we have had this dsicusssion
[Elizabeth_H-S] Can you have more than one chatroom at a time, Dave?
[JeffLebow] yes
[daf] Christine B-R is in the list and she mentioned that the TAC should let them know
[dave_on_air] hey.. that was my question!!!
[dave_on_air] yes.
[Elizabeth_H-S] But will Christine do that?
[daf] no idea
[Elizabeth_H-S] (the should part...)
[daf] Susan G. is the TAC chair now
elderbob has joined the chat.
[Elizabeth_H-S] Dave was so neat on the phone--I felt it was a conversation, not a broadcast.
[dave_on_air] that's the goal
[daf] yes, Eliz. I had the experience in spain
[elderbob] and I have lost the sound somehow.
[elderbob] Now the sound comes on.
[daf] Jeff phoned me while I was by the swimming pool, and having lunch with family
[elderbob] Im listening to Vance, so I think this is quite delayed.
[Elizabeth_H-S] It has to make the connection.
[daf] they could even hear the spanish accent of my family and friends there
[daf] VAnce is speaking
[elderbob] So maybe it is not delayed.
[Elizabeth_H-S] I had that problem for a minute, Vance.
[Elizabeth_H-S] But I just started over with the address.
[daf] he he
[elderbob] I am listening to Vance, but I h ave a picture of Bush on my TV.
[daf] :-(
[elderbob] \Im pretending Bush is actually Vance.
[daf] lol
[elderbob] I iike Bush much bettter that way.
[Sus_back] Webheads can be very very tough!!
[Elizabeth_H-S] Oh Bob :D
[Elizabeth_H-S] You see, we are talking out of turn again....
[elderbob] Im always out of turn....
[Elizabeth_H-S] To Skype in--do we go to Skype or what?
[Sus_back] thank you everyone - this was another great Sunday afternoon
[daf] lol
[elderbob] But I m listening to the conversation.
[elderbob] Maybe its a left brain, right brain thing.
[elderbob] My left brain is text messaging.
[Elizabeth_H-S] Maybe a Skype link could be put in the list?
[elderbob] Right brain is listening.
[Sus_back] yes, open Skype and make a call for worldbridges or dave_cormier
[Elizabeth_H-S] Definitely!
[Sus_back] interesting split brain case, eBob
[Sus_back] virtual T-shirts?
[Sus_back] we can print our own shirts
[elderbob] Actually in my case, I think it has been subdivided, by my del.icio.us categorries.
[elderbob] Thats a great idea.
[elderbob] and what about theme music.
[daf] this is our map for the BaW-06 session
[Elizabeth_H-S] Thanks, Dave--great 'cast
[daf] http://www.risingconcepts.com/frapper/baw2006
[Sus_back] :puts on her good old invisibility cloak
[elderbob] It was fun....
[dave_on_air] cool
[Sus_back] :vanishes in cyberspace
[elderbob] bye all.
[Sus_back] Bye bye dear edtdechers
[elderbob] More coffe...
[daf] we should have webheads-worldbridges t-shirts
[Sus_back] wow
[Elizabeth_H-S] I'm curious how you accept multiple Skypes?
[daf] thanks, Jeff and Dave
[Elizabeth_H-S] At TESOL Tampa, that will be true, but they WILL tell you.
[Sus_back] did you try to make a call yet Eliz?
[elderbob] They are on a conference call in skype
[Elizabeth_H-S] That
[dave_on_air] thanks for coming
[dave_on_air] nice to have you as always
[Elizabeth_H-S] 's why we need to arrange this beforehand with TESOL and CALL-IS.
[elderbob] But they did say earlier, that there was a way to include even more participants on a MAC
[Elizabeth_H-S] Vance--whoa!--there may be guards at the door of the conference this year.
[Elizabeth_H-S] We do need to make some arrangements.
[daf] well, hope not to get busted as I got in the airport of my own country :-(
[Elizabeth_H-S] The EV is Tom Robb and Susan Gaer as Chair and Chair-elect
[Elizabeth_H-S] But Steve will be there too.
[Elizabeth_H-S] OK--at least register.
[daf] ;-)
[Elizabeth_H-S] I think it would be better both for CALL IS and for EdTech to be "official" however.
[elderbob] In Florida, they will be considered to be broadcasting to Cuba
[Elizabeth_H-S] Yes--think of Daf's experience!
[Elizabeth_H-S] Of course Dave isn't as cute.
[Elizabeth_H-S] We'
[Elizabeth_H-S] d like to get official sponsorship and help in setup, etc.
[dave_on_air] we like being aofficial
[elderbob] And you fellows could help set up the Live Webhead party.
[Elizabeth_H-S] CALL IS will be all for it--and it's only courteous to let them know in advance what will happen.
Sus_back has left the chat.
[dave_on_air] yes... and who's saying i'm not cute
[Elizabeth_H-S] We'd like to gather interviewees, not interfere with the pre-advertised schedule, etc.
[JeffLebow] Absolutely. We want to make sure everyone knows what we have in mind and is OK with it
[elderbob] We did that in San Antonio.
[Elizabeth_H-S] Yes
[Elizabeth_H-S] Many times at the EV, they have limited access and you have to take a number.
[daf] I prefer a pub
[daf] with some beer samplers
[Elizabeth_H-S] We'd want to be a star show--like Garrison Keiler.
[elderbob] Are you going to be there, Daf?
[daf] hope to, Bob
[elderbob] THen you can host the 2nd annual Cyber Celebration for webheads.
[daf] I have not been able to make it to TESOl since Salt Lake
[Elizabeth_H-S] Gotta to attend to family--but stay in touch guys. I really would hate to see this totally "on the wing"--should be official.
[elderbob] Dave and Jeff will help you.
[Elizabeth_H-S] Bye all! Thanx for a great session--sorry I missed Downes last week.
[elderbob] Bye Elizabeth.
[daf] I would love to do it if I can make it there, bob
[elderbob] I would be happy to help in the virtual sense.
[elderbob] You need to get with Vance and Elizabeth and see what the best date and time might be.
[elderbob] I can tell you how I did San Antonio, and I am sure those who were there, may have some of their own suggestions
[elderbob] Take the web presence class in January.
[daf] you are a born webhead, Jeff
[elderbob] Well, I lost audio again so I am going too.
[elderbob] I will talke to you all on another time.
[elderbob] \bye.
elderbob has left the chat.
[daf] back to work, guys, nice being here again :-)

[buthaina] Yep, that was Spanglish , Daf
[daf] Hay = heno in spanish
Dennis has joined the chat.
[buthaina] have you heard of it
[daf] hi Dennis
elderbob has joined the chat.
[sroseman] -9
[daf] no, Buth, maybe Dennis who is exposed to other spanishes
[Dennis] Hi, Daf. I had to change my screen display before I could see the typing window.
[buthaina] thanks, Daf..Never mind will ask Dennis later
[sroseman] wonders if there will be talk about Apple's new announcements
[daf] we are waiting for the talk to start :-)
[Dennis] Which announcements, SR?
[daf] I am a PC user
Stephen_Downes has joined the chat.
[daf] hello Stephen, welcome!
[Dennis] Stephen Downes here!!! Incredible!!!
[elderbob] Hello all, and welcome Stephen.
[buthaina] or the announcement about iTune
[Stephen_Downes] Hiya Folx
[Dennis] Yes, I thought it might be about iTunes or about the ROKR cell phone.
[buthaina] Hi Stephen and welcome, :-)
[Dennis] Ditto!
[willrich] Hey everyone!
[daf] I have taken a screenshot :-)
[Dennis] Terrific, Daf!
[daf] hi Will
[buthaina] Me too..Daf..great minds think alike..heheh
[daf] lol, buth
Rita has joined the chat.
[Dennis] And Will Richardson here, too!!! Equally incredible!!!
[daf] yes, 2 gurus :-)
[sroseman] I am googling both names
[sroseman] Stephen ..born in Montreal
[sroseman] me too
[buthaina] 2 great thinkers and teachers, happy to be hear to learn from them and others of course, :-0
[Dennis] I feel exactly the same, Buth.
[daf] it is so exciting to be listening to them LIVE
[Dennis] (another ditto from me!)
[sroseman] http://www.downes.ca/me/index.htm
[buthaina] clap, clap, clap..
[Rita] (this is fantastic!)
[daf] :D
[Dennis] I agree, Rita.
Rickpr38 has joined the chat.
[daf] you are a philosopher, Stephen
[Stephen_Downes] My web page is http://www.downes.ca
[daf] lol
[daf] I heard of Stephen back in 2002 at the Networking 2002 conference (Australia)
[Rita] me too, Daf
[daf] yes, we were there together, Rit
[sroseman] what area of Montreal*-+
[buthaina] I learned about Stephen from the Webheads in Action community in 2002
sus has joined the chat.
[buthaina] provbably it was you who reported it to us, Daf..:-)
[Dennis] And I learned about Stephen and Will this year. Before this year, I only knew about ESL figures:
[Rita] "being online changes everything"...., how very true!
[daf] didn't you attend that conference, Buth. We presented with Michael C.
[daf] right, Rit
[daf] joining webheads is a door to the world, Dennis
[Dennis] Charles Kelly, Ruth Vilmi, Randall Davis, Dave Sperling, Elaine Hoter
[willrich] My weblog is at http://www.weblogg-ed.com
[buthaina] Not sure, Daf..I attended the one in Hawii, was it that one?
[Dennis] It certainly is, Daf.
[daf] no, much before that one
[sroseman] Worldbridges is opening up a new frontier for me in terms of tech innovation
[Rita] once you open that door you are out into the whole world
sus has left the chat.
[Dennis] Ditto, SR--Worldbridges and the Webheads are doing that.
[daf] I have learned about podcasting thanks to JeffL
[buthaina] And I learned about Will from Worldbridges; maybe eBob too earlier..
[Dennis] I have your weblogg in my feed list, WR.
[daf] didn't will give a talk about RSS at LT?
[Dennis] I remember when the Web was mostly read.
[Dennis] And this is an incredible learning opportunity for us as well!
[sroseman] oops..another blip
[sroseman] I did use the web when it was text based
[daf] yes, he did: Recording: "RSS: The New Killer App for Educators" with WillRichardson
[daf] you can find it at the Webheads room in LT
[daf] http://home.learningtimes.net/learningtimes?go=273662
[Dennis] Hear, hear, SD!
[sroseman] Thanks Daf
[daf] :-)
[Rita] thanks, Daf
[daf] it is really good if you want to learn how to RSS
[Dennis] "It changes everything because it eliminates those barriers." Hear, hear.
[daf] a borderless world
[Dennis] Definitely!
[elderbob] Wikibooks.
[Dennis] Traditionally, though, textbook publishers are the last to adopt something new.
[Dennis] I was a textbook editor.
[dave] no offense dennis
[Dennis] I remember when few publishers used desktop publishing. Now, of course, that's common.
[Dennis] No offense taken--none at all.
[daf] publishers only think of the money they will get out of something
[daf] in general
[Dennis] Yes--and they also have a great deal invested in hard-copy machinery.
[daf] they "control" education in schools
[sroseman] I have an art text with web references throughout..a grabber for me purchasing the text
[Dennis] Yes, definitely, Daf.
[Dennis] I wonder how soon we'll "get there."
[daf] Viva Moodle!!!
[elderbob] sroseman, there are several companies in computer training that have sheeeese interactive books and websites working in
[elderbob] conjunction with each other.
[sroseman] of course, elderbob
[Dennis] The whole idea of holistic learning will be a challenge.
[Rita] and thare are already books including sites for consultation, at least...
[daf] my case
[Dennis] The educational establishment resists change and is also heavily invested in a "controlled learning" model.
[daf] right, Dennis
[Rita] true
[Dennis] It's too bad, isn't it?
[elderbob] EVonline is an informal classroom?
[Rita] people are not ready yet
[daf] I am a weirdo in my university
[Dennis] Definitely, EB.
[daf] I think it is, Bob
willrich has left the chat.
[Dennis] Yes, I imagine you are, Daf, but that doesn't matter, because you're also a visionary.
[sroseman] what happens to all those traditional architectural school spaces?
[daf] I really don't mind, I feel happy not to follow the crowd
[Dennis] Why does that not surprise me, Daf?
[buthaina] Yaodong says hi to all of you and tells you that he is sad since his "new home is not connected to the net"and cannot join us u
[Dennis] :D
[daf] say hi to him, Buth
[Dennis] the smilie was for Daf, not Yaodong!
[daf] lol
[Dennis] <<chuckle, chuckle, chuckle>>
[buthaina] done already Daf..Was clear to me Dennis, haven't confused things..:-)
[Dennis] Good, Buth!
[buthaina] :-)
[Rita] ;-)
[Dennis] :o)
[Dennis] The fact that people want to "see it" is encouraging.
[sroseman] *
[Dennis] It's folly to think that everything will change overnight, so the fact that people want to know
[Dennis] what Web 2.0 can do is very encouraging indeed.
[buthaina] It's break fasting time here..My children are calling me to have Iftar now..Will have this window open and volume higher to hear
[Rita] yes, Dennis, but some still dont want to know...
[Dennis] Here are some virtual dates, Buth.
[Dennis] Oh, I agree, Rita.
[buthaina] thank god we have the talk recorded too; thanks to worldbridges..:-)
[daf] I love dates
[Dennis] Definitely, Buth!
[buthaina] thanks, Dennis
[Dennis] In many places, they're a traditional way to break the fast. Am I correct about that, Buth?
[Dennis] Afwan, Buth.
LangLabDirectrix has joined the chat.
[Dennis] Hi, LLD.
[LangLabDirectrix] hello
[daf] wb, LLD
[elderbob] But didnt we have similar issues years ago, when Sony wanted to release tape recorders.
[Dennis] And both publishing and education are power-based.
[LangLabDirectrix] sorry, closed a window, and lost connection
[Dennis] I think we always have similar issues when the paradigm shifts, EB.
[daf] definitely, Dennis
[Dennis] Do you remember, for example, when calculators first became available?
[daf] students are amazed when we want them to be autonomous
[Dennis] :o) Daf
[Dennis] Definitely!
[Rita] yes, and so many other things this generation ahs been lucky to appreciate !
[Dennis] Hear, hear, Rita!
[Dennis] An appreciation for diversity has been a wonderful paradigm shift since I was a child.
[LangLabDirectrix] my son is trying to do an opinion piece for school on whether technology should be a requirement for graduation. He is 13 and
[Dennis] That's not to say that North American culture has no xenophobia, of course.
[LangLabDirectrix] has never known the world w/o it
[Rita] you are fortunate to have the gift for that, Dennis, not everybody has it!
[Dennis] Interesting question, LLD.
[daf] I had a discussion with my graduate students about that, LLD
[LangLabDirectrix] and what did they think?
[daf] my architecture students think that what they are doing in my classes should be done in al their other courses
[Dennis] It was obviously designed by someone who's much older--and has experienced the times when technology was NOT a heavy part
[Dennis] of school work.
[Dennis] I'm sure they do, "Daf.
[Dennis] Rita: My family is a mixed one and I've always felt more comfortable in diverse groups.
[daf] both grad and undergrad students think they should learn about tech as part of their curriculum
[LangLabDirectrix] If you require it will they learn it any better? Use it?
[elderbob] Flat earthed.
[Dennis] Flat-earthed indeed!
[Dennis] I wonder, LLD. Sometimes I think they learn it better informally and on their own!
[daf] venezuela has always been a melting pot
[daf] I agree, Dennis
[Rita] being in the middle of the continent, yes, Daf
[Dennis] The U.S. is often described as a melting pot, but it may be more of a salad than a melting pot!
[LangLabDirectrix] yes but then shouldn't we try to tap into that and help them express themselves through that medium?
[LangLabDirectrix] Or is that too teacher centered
[daf] that's what we are trying to do, LLD
[Dennis] Yes, LLD, I think we should, but they have less fear of it and are more willing to discover their own ways of managing it.
[Rita] first teachers should be convinced and knowledgble
[Dennis] We who have learned to use technology learned it in a different way.
[daf] we give the means, LLD
[LangLabDirectrix] (can you tell I entered late?) :? :?
[Dennis] Right, Daf--but not in a step-by-step way.
[daf] and allow students to go on their own
[Dennis] Definitely!
[daf] lol, Jeff
[daf] I feel a citizen of the world
[elderbob] Im not giving up my Texas citizenship.
[elderbob] No more countries, just networks.
[Dennis] A Texican forever!
[daf] lol
[LangLabDirectrix] Elder Bob: that is a great slogan!
[sroseman] How will web 2.0 impact the K to 6 curriculum/classroom
[Dennis] http://www.rubyonrails.org/
[daf] thanks, Dennis
[Dennis] Hear, hear, EB ("No more countries . . . .")
[Dennis] :o)
[LangLabDirectrix] Well, given that my 10 year old's first complete sentence was "double click mommy, noit single click" I think Web 2.0 NEEDS to b

[Rita] reminds me of John Lennon's words..

[daf] webheads utopia
[LangLabDirectrix] I could send the mp3 of that.... beware
[elderbob] Im of a John Lennon thought process
[Sus_Nyrop_] Oops
[Dennis] Use that tune for "I'd like to live in Webheadsland"
[daf] you can record it for the WiAOC
[Sus_Nyrop_] I would like to jump in and out from differnt "countries" or contexts

[Rickpr38] Are tablets more expensive than regular laptops?
[LangLabDirectrix] yes they are...and they are heavy
[LangLabDirectrix] we use them for teaching stroke order in japanese and chinese
[elderbob] The MIT $100. laptop has a tablet self contained.
[LangLabDirectrix] we use Gateways
[Rickpr38] 100? 1,000?
[elderbob] 100
[Rickpr38] Wow!
[elderbob] Dont get too excited, its still experimental.
[LangLabDirectrix] and not available...yet
[Sus_Nyrop_] I am being haunted, my real player started to play something else (a samba I think)
[sroseman] used this one in a pilot project http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/messagepad/stats/emate_300.html
[Rickpr38] I would love to be able to get 100 laptops into schools with few resources...
[elderbob] Correct.
[dave] we talked to someone who's using 20dollar thin clients in a computer lab
[dave] Kathy in New Hampshire
[LangLabDirectrix] what is Kathy's email?
[elderbob] Now you got me....Ive not heard of a 20 thin client, is that like a palm or phone device.
[Sus_Nyrop_] the thin client for school use is cool; you can recycle old machines; only teh server need to be a really strong working horse
[elderbob] Ill have to look that up, I dont think I have heard of it before.
[Rickpr38] recycling old machines? Tell me more!
[sroseman] training and professional development is essential with new tech..modeling is the key factor
[Sus_Nyrop_] no - you use any PC, but let them be connected to the server, I think programs are stored centrally
[Rickpr38] Can anyone speak?
[sroseman] speechless
[daf] ys, Rick just contact them in skype
[Rickpr38] {:-{>}
[Rickpr38] I am doing my first skype on my own account today....

[elderbob] Dennis, it is always nice to have you around....
[sroseman] a PC or tablet on every two students desks..my dream..classrooms with students sitting in pods working collabiratively
[daf] That is a great idea, Dave
[Dennis] SR: And this works very well--even though students often think there needs to be one PC per student.
[daf] Teachers are action researchers
[Dennis] Or they SHOULD be!
[Dennis] Can be?
[daf] we always look for ways to solve problems, and then look at the results
[daf] the only cycle most teachers miss is the publishing
[Dennis] And many teachers generate reams of customized classroom materials--so they are still publishing, but on a local level.
LangLabDirectrix has left the chat.

[Dennis] Hear, hear, Sus.
[buthaina] My Remedial English classes are 110 minutes, and students like to stay more, Daf especially if we are at the c-lab.
[buthaina] It's good here , Rick
[Rickpr38] I had no sound for about a moment (my hearing perhaps?)
[Sus_Nyrop] it is such fun when kids get sop immersed that they wist to stay in the computer lab
[sroseman] I am from Onterio ..just noticed this http://curriculum.enoreo.on.ca/ontario_blogs/why_blog.html
[daf] yes, Buth, that is the problem they want to keep working on the computer
[Sus_Nyrop] sometimes you will have a time lag Rick
[daf] and some of my students attend classes from home
[Rickpr38] sus, I think that must be it. In the archives on Worldbridges is the sound feed also saved?
[buthaina] Yeah, like my hair now, full of Gel and Spiky..heheh
[daf] this is my class podcasting blog: http://courses.worldbridges.com/dyg_usb/
[daf] my students will start podcasting next week
[buthaina] If I did that, Daf, have students join the class from home, I could have got fired..
[Rickpr38] daf, how quickly did your students take to podcasting?
[daf] so far they are listening to podcastings made by webheads
[buthaina] It doesn't matter now..I resigned..
[daf] I am step by step, Rick
[Rickpr38] I am new to it myself....
[daf] first they are listening to others' podcasts (recorded especially for them)
[daf] and they have activiites to complete,
[buthaina] Happy, Vance is able to skype the globe now..Bravo UAE
[Rickpr38] daf, what is the time limit of the podcasts
[daf] and next step is for them to do the podcasts
[daf] what do you mean, time limit?
[Rickpr38] yes.
[daf] around 5-7 minutes, I think

[dave] Jeff: mine is fine
[Sus_Nyrop] I lost you, am back
[JeffLebow] how many people do you see in the conference?
[dave] 6

[Stephen_Downes] rss2javascript
[jo] daf, have you got them to turn on word verification?
[Sus_Nyrop] who is now talking?
[Sus_Nyrop] thank you
[daf] yes, they have done that
[Rickpr38] There is a size limite for the casts, no? sounds like vance?
[JeffLebow] skype conferences are limited to 5 participants....somehow we've overcome that
[Sus_Nyrop] Is that Will Richardson speaking?
[Rickpr38] I am getting some feedback from Vance. Anyone else. sounds metallic
[Stephen_Downes] yes
[Rickpr38] (if it was Vance)
[sroseman] our school district disallowed the use of blogs due to some bullying practices
[sroseman] among students
[daf] since my students topic is architecture or urban planning they are getting messages with adds about arch. stuff
[Sus_Nyrop] instead of teaching blog culture and avoid bullying
[sroseman] replaced by Ontario Blogs http://curriculum.enoreo.on.ca/ontario_blogs/about_blogs.html
[buthaina] Yes, Rick, me..I'm getting metalic when waslistening to Vance,minor though
[daf] Vance always have that problem in LT and Alado
[Sus_Nyrop] yes, some blog comment spam seem to be generated by some sort of tag tracking
[daf] LiveJournal is free of spam, so far
[buthaina] oh, Why don't suggest the use of BlogMeister to your school, Sroseman
[sroseman] we are using blogmeister
[sroseman] http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=6860
[buthaina] Blogmeister. by David Warlick are very secured and no one can post a comment without a password provided by a class teacher
[daf] but that is too restricted, Buth
[daf] the idea of a blog is to be read
[buthaina] does David knows about this; if you join his YG you can report this to him
[Sus_Nyrop] smartasses from obscure corporate bizniz have grabbed the RSS for their spread of links to ad sites they hope people will click
[daf] and get comments from others, not only your classmates. For that you don't need a blog
[buthaina] Daf , I used it in Fall 2004, ad it worked very good
[daf] yes, but for that kind of activity we don't need to use a blog
[daf] you can use a forum
[sroseman] Blogger and xanga seem to be blocked by our school district
[buthaina] I agree, Stephen, so far it''s the best for me and my students..easy and simple
[sroseman] we have to go with Blogmeister
[Sus_Nyrop] elgg is an interesting option, but still in the making - I like the FOAF feature
[buthaina] Where are you located, sorseman
[Sus_Nyrop] that's Sue Roseman
[sroseman] Ontario, Canada
[sroseman] yep..that's me
[daf] yes, I love buzznet
[buthaina] I'm sorry to hear that, soresman
[buthaina] Yes, I agree, Vance..Buzznet is so cool, easy and simple and we can do lots of things with it
[Sus_Nyrop] Strongly agree on this point
[daf] I have been having problems connecting to buzznet in the last few days
[Sus_Nyrop] that we do need to support developing communicative internet skills
[daf] it says that there is too much traffic
[sroseman] a controlled envirnment with blogmeister here in Ontario http://curriculum.enoreo.on.ca/ontario_blogs/about_blogs.html

[sroseman] environment
[buthaina] sroseman, maybe you could have the management in your school listen to today's talk in order to convinc them to unblock Blogger.

[Sus_Nyrop] goodnight Jo
jo has left the chat.
[buthaina] I agree, sroseman about blogmesiter, but it's good for kids in order to provide a secure environment
[Sus_Nyrop] you should also consider the democratic potential that the internet may have for students
[buthaina] FYI, blogmeister has started Podcasting too
[sroseman] I agree
[Sus_Nyrop] which factor please?
[Sus_Nyrop] I did not understand the term
[buthaina] which term, Sus?
[Sus_Nyrop] the something factor
[buthaina] Sorry, I think I've missed that

Sus_Nyrop has left the chat.
[buthaina] My Remedial English classes are 110 minutes, and students like to stay more, Daf especially if we are at the c-lab.
[buthaina] It's good here , Rick
[Rickpr38] I had no sound for about a moment (my hearing perhaps?)
[Sus_Nyrop] it is such fun when kids get sop immersed that they wist to stay in the computer lab
[sroseman] I am from Onterio ..just noticed this http://curriculum.enoreo.on.ca/ontario_blogs/why_blog.html
[daf] yes, Buth, that is the problem they want to keep working on the computer
[Sus_Nyrop] sometimes you will have a time lag Rick
[daf] and some of my students attend classes from home
[Rickpr38] sus, I think that must be it. In the archives on Worldbridges is the sound feed also saved?
[buthaina] Yeah, like my hair now, full of Gel and Spiky..heheh
[daf] this is my class podcasting blog: http://courses.worldbridges.com/dyg_usb/
[daf] my students will start podcasting next week
[buthaina] If I did that, Daf, have students join the class from home, I could have got fired..
[Rickpr38] daf, how quickly did your students take to podcasting?
[daf] so far they are listening to podcastings made by webheads
[buthaina] It doesn't matter now..I resigned..
[daf] I am step by step, Rick
[Rickpr38] I am new to it myself....
[daf] first they are listening to others' podcasts (recorded especially for them)
[daf] and they have activiites to complete,
[buthaina] Happy, Vance is able to skype the globe now..Bravo UAE
[Rickpr38] daf, what is the time limit of the podcasts
[daf] and next step is for them to do the podcasts
[daf] what do you mean, time limit?
[Rickpr38] yes.
[daf] around 5-7 minutes, I think
Sus_Nyrop has left the chat.
Sus_Nyrop has joined the chat.
[JeffLebow] Dave, just wanted to let you know I can't read your skype chat. My skype window is really scary looking
[dave] Jeff: mine is fine
[Sus_Nyrop] I lost you, am back
[JeffLebow] how many people do you see in the conference?
[dave] 6
[daf] I am having problems with spam on my students blogs in blogger :-(
[JeffLebow] Wow!
[Sus_Nyrop] spell it here pls
[Stephen_Downes] manila
[Stephen_Downes] rss2javascript
[jo] daf, have you got them to turn on word verification?
[Sus_Nyrop] who is now talking?
[Sus_Nyrop] thank you
[daf] yes, they have done that
[Rickpr38] There is a size limite for the casts, no? sounds like vance?
[JeffLebow] skype conferences are limited to 5 participants....somehow we've overcome that
[Sus_Nyrop] Is that Will Richardson speaking?
[Rickpr38] I am getting some feedback from Vance. Anyone else. sounds metallic
[Stephen_Downes] yes
[Rickpr38] (if it was Vance)
[sroseman] our school district disallowed the use of blogs due to some bullying practices
[sroseman] among students
[daf] since my students topic is architecture or urban planning they are getting messages with adds about arch. stuff
[Sus_Nyrop] instead of teaching blog culture and avoid bullying
[sroseman] replaced by Ontario Blogs http://curriculum.enoreo.on.ca/ontario_blogs/about_blogs.html
[buthaina] Yes, Rick, me..I'm getting metalic when waslistening to Vance,minor though
[daf] Vance always have that problem in LT and Alado
[Sus_Nyrop] yes, some blog comment spam seem to be generated by some sort of tag tracking
[daf] LiveJournal is free of spam, so far
[buthaina] oh, Why don't suggest the use of BlogMeister to your school, Sroseman
[sroseman] we are using blogmeister
[sroseman] http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=6860
[buthaina] Blogmeister. by David Warlick are very secured and no one can post a comment without a password provided by a class teacher
[daf] but that is too restricted, Buth
[daf] the idea of a blog is to be read
[buthaina] does David knows about this; if you join his YG you can report this to him
[Sus_Nyrop] smartasses from obscure corporate bizniz have grabbed the RSS for their spread of links to ad sites they hope people will click
[daf] and get comments from others, not only your classmates. For that you don't need a blog
[buthaina] Daf , I used it in Fall 2004, ad it worked very good
[daf] yes, but for that kind of activity we don't need to use a blog
[daf] you can use a forum
[sroseman] Blogger and xanga seem to be blocked by our school district
[buthaina] I agree, Stephen, so far it''s the best for me and my students..easy and simple
[sroseman] we have to go with Blogmeister
[Sus_Nyrop] elgg is an interesting option, but still in the making - I like the FOAF feature
[buthaina] Where are you located, sorseman
[Sus_Nyrop] that's Sue Roseman
[sroseman] Ontario, Canada
[sroseman] yep..that's me
[daf] yes, I love buzznet
[buthaina] I'm sorry to hear that, soresman
[buthaina] Yes, I agree, Vance..Buzznet is so cool, easy and simple and we can do lots of things with it
[Sus_Nyrop] Strongly agree on this point
[daf] I have been having problems connecting to buzznet in the last few days
[Sus_Nyrop] that we do need to support developing communicative internet skills
[daf] it says that there is too much traffic
[sroseman] a controlled envirnment with blogmeister here in Ontario http://curriculum.enoreo.on.ca/ontario_blogs/about_blogs.html
[buthaina] Maybe they're maintaining their site, Daf..
[sroseman] environment
[buthaina] sroseman, maybe you could have the management in your school listen to today's talk in order to convinc them to unblock Blogger.
