IHAQ#3: How to curate and foster online conversations (especially ours)

hello! Is anyone here? ;)

Hi there.

hi, Paul!

Hello all! Long time no hear . . . Great to see you all!

Just listening tonight.

Getting ready for Tuesday in the background.

I liked how K12Online revisited their content with the "Echoes." The recording (about 20 min) was replayed and then the speaker was available for questions for the rest of the hour.

late but here before it's over

Wow! 400! :)

Hi, Vanessa :)

Hi everyone! Just got home from family Easter festivities. Sorry I'm joining you late!

Hi back Jennifer -- seems more order than #2 when no audience was visible

@peggy ... thank you for joining :)

Great to be here with you!

Hello all. Happy Sunday

FB is blocked in schools . . .

Hi Valerie :-) Great to see you :-)

FB is blocked in some schools, though I don't know if it's all that great for curation. Though I guess that depends on whether we're talking curation vs. archiving. You can go back through previous posts, but you mostly have to do that scrolling through the timeline which is sorted based on activity, which can be difficult

I love the one hour length of Teachers Teaching Teachers. It takes awhile to get people introduced before the topic gets rolling but it's always a great conversation!

Hey @Peggy.

Archiving is kind of like structure where fostering is about engagement, no?

Though I guess fostering also has a structural demand

@Jason ... good point

@Jason, maybe Edmodo, blogs. wikis or Schoology would be better for curating

Maybe turn the question around. Why do you have audiences? What are the listeners' goals?

I'm thinking like a twitter hashtag, though Twitter tends to kill older tweets so you have to archive it through other means, i.e. TAGS, storifiy

I often go back to ETT archives to find old conversations and resources shared. Just last week I searched for our earlier Earthcast conversations and discovered that some people I am still connected with and learning with/from were part of those early conversations back to 2008-2009. :-)

Nice that John could join us with 3 minutes left

I'm still thinking that fostering is based on building or choosing a platform that will be able to continuously engage the participants, but archiving is about giving the participants a way to tag conversation and providing an updating aggregator that will outlast the course.

And ideally, when someone goes back and interacts with a tweet, Dave Cormier gets an update to let them know that someone has used the word MOOC without his permission

Geocities!

Chatwing and Titanpad both provide great opportunities to review links/resources before a conversation. :-)

You can create VT but not delete VT for free. So I just change the pics and delete the comments . . .

dual band router

mine is "Pretty Fly for a Wi-Fi"

we're still with you :-)

This is the best part!

I agree Sheila!

Thanks all

I can hear you Dave

Stay tuned for an awesomely fostered and curated conversation next week :)

BYe!

see you next week!

that you! sorry for my rambling ... I thought we turned off the stream :)

can you repeat the question for next week? Is it K-12 Moocs?

yes ... #k12mooc :)

I'm sure Verena Roberts will be interested in that topic!! :-)
