21:23:28 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I have no clue what below zero means
21:23:35 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: Have any of you used cell phones with your students?
21:24:16 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: I've used phone to do a poll when I was subbing. Phones are forbidden, but EVERY student carried one.
21:24:24 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: I know when we were in South Africa, teachers were very interested in using cell phones in education - computers are not ubiquitous
21:25:01 [Message] Liz -> -EdTechTalk: go.blogger.com
21:25:16 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I haven't had students to teach since I learned about Liz's ideas by reading her blog and book and listening to her radio show. I would love to try these things!!
21:25:18 [Message] Liz -> -EdTechTalk: Utterli.com
21:25:35 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: I've used a couple of Liz's ideas with my students - preservice and inservice teachers
21:26:03 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: go.blogger.com uses enhanced sms/mms. Can't get it to work on my windows mobile phone.
21:26:13 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: When Chris Betcher was with us a couple of weeks ago, he showed us some of the cell phone videos from his school's cell phone film festival!!
21:26:19 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I just keep telling all of my colleagues and teacher friends about uses of cell phones hoping they will consider it!

21:27:28 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: HI Joyce! Will I see you at educon this year?
21:27:44 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I think cell phones could be the answer to many of our ed tech funding problems! Use what they already have!

21:30:38 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: great approach--what are the concerns and what can we do about them?
21:30:38 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: I try to remind myself tht for years we paid lowest rates for high bandwidth (interesting comparison)
21:31:04 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: hey lisa...stream isnt' working for me
21:31:07 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: they can't bring them to our school, so handbook says - yeah right - kids use them in my classes

21:31:49 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: I wish the iTouch had camera...that is my only gripe
21:31:51 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: ahhh losing the phone??
21:31:52 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: I agree @durff
21:31:58 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: I passed on the iPhone. Got a verizon XV6800.
21:32:03 [Message] joycevalenza -> -EdTechTalk: sometimes they get stolen if left
21:32:16 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: @Peggy... Oprah discount??
21:32:17 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: who's responsbility is it if lost on school -- ??
21:32:18 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Does the cell phone need to have a "thumb board" to substitute for student computers in the classroom?
21:32:20 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: I hear that the next generation of ipod touch will have a cam
21:32:24 [Message] sroseman -> -EdTechTalk: use an ipod touch along with a cell phone..cheaper
21:32:34 [Message] joycevalenza -> -EdTechTalk: have i mentioned that I love my iphone?
21:32:35 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I am using SKYPE with the itouch -- if I get it
21:32:40 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: We can do it
21:32:43 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: let's teach 'em to take pictures, podcast, txt FOR class not in spite of class
21:32:53 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: @Sharon...google phone's Androis is still a bit immature...I'd wait a year on it
21:33:05 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: I'm waiting for Mar 22 to arrive so I can get the new BB Storm
21:33:16 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: Not a good area for iPhones here
21:33:17 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: @sue I want to be able to use skype on a device

21:33:40 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: no wait!! sorry! the discount was on my Kindle--my daughter gave me my iPhone for Christmas!! even better :-)
21:33:42 [Message] page -> -EdTechTalk: They need to be taught those things
21:33:44 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: I can't get the discounts until Mar 22 - otherwise $600
21:33:46 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: yuk
21:33:52 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: Phone ettiquette is so important. Seems adults talk much too loudly on them (especially in the airport). Kids don't seem to talk as loudly on them.
21:33:58 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @Jen - what's your provider?
21:34:02 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Verizon
21:34:17 [Message] page -> -EdTechTalk: they are texting mostly
21:34:40 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: me too
21:34:43 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: but we can impact that page
21:34:44 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: @Jen Check into used windows mobile phones on ebay. Ones like mine are going for abt 100
21:34:47 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: Exactly. And texting is quiet. :)
21:34:48 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: that makes our calls free
21:34:49 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: sounds so much like talking to students about online identity!
21:35:03 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Scott -- that is where the itouch is that I want to buy
21:35:09 [Message] page -> -EdTechTalk: parent education as well
21:35:32 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: interesting that parents can be far worse abusers of cell phones than their kids!
21:35:36 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: I touch is cool, as long as you are always near wi-fi.
21:35:51 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: :) at home and work is for sure....... :)
21:36:02 [Message] page -> -EdTechTalk: @sharon you got it!
21:36:17 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: i guess i am a lone ranger in cell phone education
21:36:20 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: that's why i got the blackberry - there's a keyboard :D
21:36:33 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Tony has written some fantastic blog posts about iTouch/iPhone :-) Jump in here Tony!
21:36:46 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: everyone twitter this show
21:37:02 [Message] page -> -EdTechTalk: I am guilty too
21:37:15 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: I taught my son how to text Google to get information. THe other 8th graders think its cool.
21:37:39 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks Peggy. iPod touch/iPhones are my favorite "cell phones" because of App Store.
21:37:53 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I learned I could do an audio search on Google on my iPhone--incredible!
21:38:00 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: perhaps an "Honor Code" for use makes better sense than an AUP
21:38:25 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: Dial2Do let's me use my cellphone to check email & twitter while waiting in the Starbucks drive-thru
21:38:29 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: the apps store is my undoing--every time I'm waiting for something to happen I'm looking for new apps :-)
21:38:29 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: Is it true that the iTouch can be used with skype as a cell phone? Does it have a mic? (Pardon my ignorance!)
21:38:33 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.google.ca/mobile/sms/index.html
21:38:50 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: I use Gabcast with Spanish for their homework
21:39:05 [Message] matt montagne -> -EdTechTalk: @sharon...I use Fring, which gives my skype on my iPhone...not sure about iTuch
21:39:23 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: The 2nd gen iPod touch support an attachable mic.
21:39:28 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: YES,
21:39:36 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: that is how I am going to use SKYPE
21:39:47 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: oh how cool, that is what I want to know!
21:40:00 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Ed tech can be an equalizer for students in poverty. However, how much student cell phones and texting depend on how much the family can afford. How do you equalize that gap?
21:40:07 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: txt msg campaign.... wow
21:40:08 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: and since I live in CA and can't drive and talk at the same time, I won't have to worry about WIFI
21:40:14 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: I used http://wiffiti.com/ as a 1st day activity
21:40:15 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: James -- I will ask THAT
21:40:17 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: good question
21:40:30 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: i'd go broke - i dont' have a text plan
21:40:36 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: @James Many developing nations have dead cheap cell phone rates
21:40:40 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: 6th grade used Gcast for interviews with cellphones
21:40:41 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: We have free/reduced lunch. Maybe we need free/reduced cell service.
21:40:54 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: i like that Scott
21:41:07 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I dont' have TEXT either Cheri
21:41:12 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @Scott - there was a program in NY city - free phones for school
21:41:31 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: DO they take them home or leave them @ school?
21:41:33 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: unlimited txting is only $15 for me Cheri
21:41:36 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: I witnessed something in South Africa.... all the phones are unlocked, kids who could not afford a phone had a card and swapped out cards on their friends' phones when they needed it
21:41:39 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: @cheri for anyone in school?
21:41:42 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: http://learninginhand.com/blog/2008/12/12-days-of-ipod-touch-and-iphone.... some of Tony's postings on iTouch :-)
21:41:53 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @James - its was only in NY city
21:42:04 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: her lists can go on and on--something for everyone!
21:42:28 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: they gave students cell phones that were limited when at school
21:42:31 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I am overwhelmed :)
21:42:56 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: exactly, outside classroom - extends the learning
21:43:00 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: that's such a key point about being able to use the cell phones as learning tools outside of school
21:43:06 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: @cheri did the school provide service?
21:43:23 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @james - it was AT&T or another provider
21:43:24 [Message] Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: @JenWagner- No service where I live- it's all Greek to me. Amazed!
21:43:30 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: @Jen is so quiet
21:44:04 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: The average number of monthly texts for a 13-17 year old teen is 1,742. http://tinyurl.com/9smvvf

21:45:52 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I also don't get jailbreaking.

21:46:03 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: you can now create Animoto videos from photos on your iPhone :-)
21:46:11 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: Qik ROCKS! Great tech support and a cool service.
21:46:33 [Message] JoNelle -> -EdTechTalk: sorry don't know how to get pics from phone to computer - older phone:)
21:46:34 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @durff - that's what I was thinking about - HS students ... my phone ... hmmmmm
21:46:36 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Yes! qik is amazing!
21:46:43 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: @PeggyG my pocketbook cringes when I hear these things bec of the high cost here in Canada
21:46:57 [Message] joycevalenza -> -EdTechTalk: ebooks too
21:47:26 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: but once you invest in the phone and monthly charges the apps are free or very cheap--maybe 99 cents-$4.99.
21:47:37 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: cheri - this is a HS student who needed my # and the library asst # so she lets us both know how the other is doing
21:47:39 [Message] joycevalenza -> -EdTechTalk: yes
21:47:51 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: @JoNelle Put pics on memory card, then take card from phone and insert in computer.
21:47:56 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Even a non-activated phone can be used for voice recording, taking photos, and calculator.
21:48:03 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: i had them work in groups - so we used the phone of whoever had the free texting
21:48:11 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: @James I agree, yes
21:48:12 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: i have mostly middle school kids who don't own phones yet
21:48:14 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: students can share cell phones and even share the teacher's phone
21:48:32 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: you first peggy
21:48:42 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: now there is an Option, CHERI!!
21:48:51 [Message] Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: What about the kids who live where there is no cell service?
21:48:53 [Message] JoNelle -> -EdTechTalk: Oh, thanks!- looking at qik too
21:48:54 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: are there some of these that can be done from a land line?
21:48:57 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I don't mean to gush, but WOW, I am learning a lot
21:48:57 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: HI Susan!
21:49:05 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: if they're doing this at home ... then use the land line if they don't have the cell
21:49:06 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, Maurren
21:49:10 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Maureen
21:49:14 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: they do borrow each other's
21:49:20 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @Durff-you mean you wouldn't let your students use your cell phone in your classroom to do an assignment?
21:49:24 [Message] susaneinhorn -> -EdTechTalk: Hi all
21:49:32 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: and this is why i don't do much txting
21:49:33 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Have bluetooth adapter I use to get photos off and podcasts onto my cell phone
21:49:47 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: so James -- you use cell phones with students as well??
21:50:18 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: Hi susan
21:50:25 [Message] Maureen -> -EdTechTalk: I don't have a cell phone- there isn't any service here. When the Verizon guy came to fix my landline, he was surprised- couldn't use his cell to check the line.
21:50:34 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: that's what i have - few phone call mins and unlimited txting
21:50:58 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Not yet, want to do a voice and photo digital storytelling project with student cell phones and mp3 players before the end of year
21:51:07 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: My younger sister never checks her email. She just texts.
21:51:12 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: good point--doesn't always have to be cell phones--can be other electronic tools they already have like the Wii
21:51:31 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: thanks James I will have questions when you do so
21:51:34 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: kids haven't used email for awhile
21:51:37 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: "bridging the gap"--good concept
21:51:41 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: there is so much that we need to avoid assuming in using phones
21:51:45 [Message] page -> -EdTechTalk: I have a 15 year old daughter that is ALL she does
21:51:49 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: I have to teach them how in middle school
21:52:31 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: My 14yo boy texts all day, rarely uses voice calls
21:52:41 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I want to try cell phone txting as clicker
21:52:47 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: <I do assume a lot Cheri -- cell phones is one area that I am really still very ignorant
21:53:05 [Message] joycevalenza -> -EdTechTalk: James, how would you do that?
21:53:17 [Message] joycevalenza -> -EdTechTalk: texting a response?
21:53:21 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: the cell phone seems to be a natural substitute for clickers :-)
21:53:29 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: For the panel....What age do you introduce pones in the classroom?
21:53:30 [Message] page -> -EdTechTalk: some families don't even have land lines anymore, they use cell phones
21:53:37 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Good question, Scott
21:53:41 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: lets ask the room too
21:53:48 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: using something like PollEverywhere is instant and easy on cell phones with texting
21:54:01 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: May 4th graders around here have phones. My child does not.
21:54:11 [Message] joycevalenza -> -EdTechTalk: what if their texts were on their phones?
21:54:22 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: 7th grade seems to be the break point
21:54:41 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Vinnie
21:55:34 [Message] Lorna -> -EdTechTalk: how is gr8 that is for parent partnerships
21:55:35 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: I like the first grade example.
21:55:51 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I'm sure there are special management techniques teachers would want to use with cell phone projects
21:55:54 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: about 40% of my 3rd graders have cell phones, 60% have cell phones or mp3 player w/ record
21:56:12 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @james - 3rd graders ... amazing
21:56:27 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: excellent point Jen--it doesn't have to be all or nothing
21:56:27 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: I think the cell phone is an untapped unrecognized and underappreciated resource for our classrooms
21:56:44 [Message] listening -> -EdTechTalk: use gabcast to have students summarize the class for the day and post to blog
21:56:54 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: Red Halo is a service that links so many devices together--like phones, iPods, Wiis, DSs, PSPs, and laptops. http://redhalo.com/devices.html
21:56:56 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: BUT...what do you do with the phones during an exam. But them in a big basket?
21:56:59 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: Many of the same issues arise with 1-1 laptop classrooms
21:57:08 [Message] sarah h -> -EdTechTalk: I like the basket idea!
21:57:12 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: there always has to be classroom management
21:57:14 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: It is very much like the laptops we use in our classrooms - appropriate times in class for it - not so appropriate time for it in our classes
21:57:22 [Message] listening -> -EdTechTalk: I've seen the basket in a class
21:57:25 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @Tony--Red Halo? That's a new one for me!
21:57:39 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: are the baskets a safe idea -- I would want to replace my phone with someone else's :)
21:57:45 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: balance
21:57:47 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: not teacher control, but organization and basic agreements b/n teachers and students on when and how to use
21:57:48 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: so lucky to have tony Vincent here with us tonight!
21:57:50 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: Red Halo is from the U.K.
21:57:59 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: Maybe a big multi-pocket thing on the wall....
21:58:04 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Can't wait to check out the link for Red Halo
21:58:40 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I like the POCKET thing -- safer
21:58:42 [Message] mrsdurff -> -EdTechTalk: the kids all have the cellphones on their persons at all times anyway
21:58:49 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: It's kind of confusing at first--but you can take a photo on your cell phone and access it on your Wii, PSP, etc.
21:58:59 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: good idea with the pocket idea -- no accidental oh you dropped yours on mine
21:59:01 [Message] susaneinhorn -> -EdTechTalk: I would hate to put my cell phone in a basket - doesn't there need to be ssome trust between teacher and students
21:59:07 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Could just have cell phone off and visible at all times during tests
21:59:15 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: James -- that is a thought
21:59:18 [Message] VinnieVrotny -> -EdTechTalk: have a great week all.
21:59:21 [Message] page -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks for this great information!
21:59:24 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: http://virtualstaffroom.net/2008/09/27/episode-25-computer-in-my-pocket this is an awesome podcast with Liz and Toni Twiss from NZ re cell phone uses. Check it out (after the show) :-)
21:59:25 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks Vinnie for dropping by
21:59:48 [Message] joycevalenza -> -EdTechTalk: must run. night everyone!
21:59:53 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: thanks Joyce
21:59:57 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: good to see you in the chat
21:59:58 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: bye Joyce
21:59:59 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Night Joyce
22:00:11 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: night Joyce - thanks for coming out tonight!
22:00:18 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: I liked the point made earlier. Cell phones won't do everything you want them to do. Sometimes lessons with cell phones seem too contrived.
22:00:37 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: I agree Tony --
22:00:49 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: but I am feeling that about all tech right now
22:01:03 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @Tony - right - as with any other tool. If it doesn't enhance the learning, don't use it ... including power point
22:01:08 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: It's still about the learning, not the tools.
22:01:13 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Yes Tony. It's not about the tool but does it help you to do what you want to do in the best way possible. Great point.
22:01:19 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: but smiles -- THE TOOLS can be so FUN
22:01:27 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: agreed.
22:01:38 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: I know! And I love to have fun!
22:01:38 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: Maybe we should ask some of our older students to be the ones to come up with the ideas for how to use the tech tools for education - wonder what they might come up with? My students usually blow me away!
22:01:46 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: the tools definitely provide motivation!
22:01:48 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @Jen - i try real hard not to subject my students to my hobbies
22:01:54 [Message] ld -> -EdTechTalk: What is the best place to organize/collect what you collect online?
22:01:55 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: :D
22:02:03 [Message] Scott Shelhart -> -EdTechTalk: diigo
22:02:05 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: So is the learning through communication and digital media creation, overall?
22:02:06 [Message] JoNelle -> -EdTechTalk: @sharon great idea
22:02:15 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: "subject students to my hobbies" -- that's an interesting quote Cheri!
22:02:16 [Message] susaneinhorn -> -EdTechTalk: That's a great idea Sharon. They have much more fluency with the tools than most of us
22:02:38 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I agree re Diigo--that's my tool of choice for compiling resources!
22:03:21 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: Errr. I keep getting logged out of the chat when I switch windows.
22:03:23 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Curriculum_Integration&TEMPL...
22:03:25 [Message] JoNelle -> -EdTechTalk: twitter did not start out out as an educator tool either
22:03:29 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: Liz's book
22:03:30 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: Where can we find Liz's book?
22:03:35 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Curriculum_Integration&TEMPL...
22:03:42 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: that can be so frustrating--hard not to click on the links!!
22:03:47 [Message] ld -> -EdTechTalk: Do you mean when students call in with a certain task it goest to diigo? I have only used gcast.
22:04:04 [Message] sharon -> -EdTechTalk: Cool! Might have to pick up a copy to take with me to Africa next summer
22:04:08 [Message] ld -> -EdTechTalk: thanks.
22:04:10 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Liz-are you doing a radio show tomorrow?
22:04:35 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: I'm planning to host an online chat/podcast on the 28th for educators to share their favorite iPhone/iPod touch apps: http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/34884 Hope ya'll can participate.
22:04:56 [Message] cheri t -> -EdTechTalk: @Tony - that's great

22:06:29 [Message] tonyvincent -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks Liz!!
22:06:33 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Need to use the tools myself so I can figure out how to use them with students for learning
22:07:04 [Message] JenWagner -> -EdTechTalk: just added those links to our DELICIOUS

22:08:59 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Angela Maiers next time! She's a fantastic resource!!
22:09:06 [Message] susaneinhorn -> -EdTechTalk: Thanks - great discussion!
22:09:17 [Message] James Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Bill Gates predicted several years ago that the cell phone will be the new laptop, he may be right
22:09:24 [Message] PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Wow, Jen! What exciting news! Back to college! Congratulations!
