|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Hi Maureen, welcome
how is snow in western MA |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Hi Cheryl- It's
ridiculous- 2nd snow day in a row. Getting a combo of sleet and snow. Had to
go out and free up the phone lines- hemlock trees were pulling it down |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: It's waist deep- not even
counting the drifts |
|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: Hi Mike! You Made
it! |
|
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: I did |

|
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: Hi Cheryl and Maureen |
|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: Looked like it was
good. Did you enjoy it? |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Hi Gail |
|
bobsprankle -> EdTechTalk: hi all! |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: @Alice- mixed feelings-
lots of energy- lots of questions- not a lot of answers and what next steps |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Our Groundhog Show,
Snow Day show!! |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: I remember that one
Cheryl. |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Did you have a snow day
yesterday? |
|
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: @lizbdavis wrote a neat post on
her educon experience; it's changed over the years for her |
|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: No not much snow
yesterday |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Maureen, we had a
full day of school yesterday |
|
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: We should also be
thinking of our friends in Australia dealing with the Cyclone! |
|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: @Gail Thanks I will
read that |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: @Gail I read it- feel
somewhat the same, but not sad- just wishing I could bottle the energy and
take it home with me |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Yes, Michael, I
haven't seen any Twitter updates so we are thinking of them. |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Shelia, hello!! |
|
Sheila -> EdTechTalk: Hi all! |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Hey Sheila! Nice to see
you |
|
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: We talked at a ILT
meeting recently about "technology school packs". Much like Meals on Wheels storm
packs. |
|
Sheila -> EdTechTalk: Just get weather report from a
friend's husband (expert) - Another storm Sat pm and another mid week - all
coming from south so wet, wet, wet. |
|
bobsprankle -> EdTechTalk: v. cool, michael! |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: I emailed work to kids
yesterday- talked thru some stuff on gdocs with 6th graders... had a 4th
grader iming me last night- told him to go to bed- it was late |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Hi Lucy |
|
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: Welcome Lucy |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Hi Michael and Maureen....
trying to get the stream now. |
|
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: Welcome Del |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: It worked on ettA for me |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Yes, Maureen ,I am
looking at google docs to see my students |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Happy Snow Day! It's the first
for my kids. Their previous school hadn't called one since 1979. |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Hello Del, |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: This is exciting
for Chicago! |
|
DelBrown -> EdTechTalk: Hi there |
|
Sheila -> EdTechTalk: I've left some work for my
students on my web page. Also left a google form for them to log their work.
Hoping to show it would work for home school days. |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: It's crazy here. |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Shelia, little
steps! |
|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: Lucy, How much snow
do you have? |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Lucy, you have big
winds! |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Hello GailP |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Hey Alice, are you still work
with the Singaporeans? I was thinking about hat last night. |
|
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: Lost my chat window :O |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: I'm hoping the power
stays on. It seems to be changing to a mix here- much rather have snow than
ice |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: I'm thinking we have about 2
feet. It's still going on. Winds are strong, but not to bad where I am. Lake
Shore Drive apparently is closed. |
|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: @Lucy,no we never
connected :( Dod they connect with Ryan? |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: No idea! |
|
Sheila -> EdTechTalk: @maureen - I saw a weather map and
you will be getting hail, sleet coming through now. :( |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: We should try to get that going
again. |
|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: I would love to |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: My plow guy is running
out of space to put the snow-gigundo piles at the bottom of the hill |
|
Michael Richards -> EdTechTalk: What do we do about
those students with no or very limited access to technology at home? I know it is not a big % but it is
still a %! |
|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: Seems to have just
dropped |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Michael, Kern
Kelley hands out, verizon cards which are offered at discount education
rates!! |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Good question Michael- we
have kids with no access |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Student choice... have been
thinking about that. My second graders has been saying he hates school this year. And we've decided that
going from a school with a lot of choices to one that where he doesn't has
ben a factor. |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: We should have Kern
on to talk about that. |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Kern Kelley rocks. |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: Yes he does Lucy! |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: Michael, I think we're going to
see more bring your own device programs |
|
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: I wrote a post on the last snow
day about work at home http://bit.ly/f4eL65 so did Kevin @dogtrax but can't
find his right now |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Sorry- what was the name
of the book again? |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: If kids have cells at least... |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: then they should be able to use
them and schools need to think creatively about allowing all sorts of
devices. |
|
LucyGray -> EdTechTalk: At the elementary level, though,
not sure how to bring that connectivity divide. |

|
alicebarr (SEEDlings) -> EdTechTalk: Thanks, very
excited! |
|
Maureen@bcdtech -> EdTechTalk: Nice, I have one domain
for fac, another for students. Did it before they allowed sub domains. It
keeps them separate. We finally did the complete switch for fac email in December. |
|
cheryloakes~seedlings -> EdTechTalk: good for you
Maureen! |
|
Gail P -> EdTechTalk: We hope to switch to GMail for
school by end of yr - fingers crossed |
