[10:39:12] : Hey, all. [10:39:16] : you guys need lives [10:39:22] : Are we all watching will sit at his desk!? [10:39:33]  : It's riveting television, Mark. [10:39:40] : :) [10:39:51]  : I dont have sound [10:39:55] : me neither [10:39:57] : I don't either [10:40:08]  : "See Will Richardson, internationally known School 2.0 Consultant as he sits at his desk and surfs the web. This is cutting-edge stuff, folks." [10:40:10] : wait like one minute [10:40:33] : Works out for me though. I've got David's keynote playing in another window. While reading feeds. Good times for late monday morning. [10:40:48] : LOL you too ;) you get my skype chat about skype in ustream Will? [10:40:49]  : David -- about to launch the registration for EduCon 2.0. We're actually going to make this happen. [10:40:57]  : Excellent [10:41:04]  : See you Jan 25 [10:41:22] : Ok. This is cool. So he's using a different tool to share with his audience? [10:41:33]  : nice. Next step is planning the conference dinners. :) [10:41:42]  : Mark -- yes. SO they can't see our chat. [10:41:47]  : sweet [10:41:57]  : I love this stuff [10:42:28]  : Hey Will -- SPEAK the address so we know it! [10:42:40] : I missed it too [10:42:45] <ChrisLehmann> : he didn't say it. [10:43:02] <ChrisLehmann> : let's see if he can SNEAK the wiki address into his speech... [10:43:06] : do you have the chat from beginning he said he put it in there [10:43:12] <ChrisLehmann> : robin -- different chat. [10:43:17] : oh sorry [10:43:23] <ChrisLehmann> : He's in a chat session with a bunch of State Tech Directors. [10:43:30] : thanks [10:43:34] : came late [10:43:39] <ChrisLehmann> : sure enough. :) [10:44:14] <DavidJakes> : nice transition [10:44:26] <ChrisLehmann> : he's smoooooooooth. [10:44:32] <DavidJakes> : understatement of the year [10:44:36] <DavidJakes> : century [10:44:50] <ChrisLehmann> : hang on... Theo needs me. [10:44:50] : This really is a boone for our community if he (and others) are going to share like this. [10:44:55] : It'll be like k12 online all the time. [10:45:25] : Hey guys. [10:45:29] : I was just setting up my own channel. [10:45:31] : ;-) [10:45:32] : Hi Vicki [10:45:33] <DavidJakes> : Hey Vicki [10:45:35] : Hey, Vicki! [10:46:09] : I was just saying that ustream is going to make every day k12online day. ;) [10:46:20] : I think you are right Mark [10:46:37] <DavidJakes> : Publish our own schedule of Webinars [10:46:58] : iJohn posted a calednar for us recently. Let me see if I can find it. [10:46:59] : Extremely powerful tool! [10:47:00] <ChrisLehmann> : hey Vicki! [10:47:20] <DavidJakes> : Vicki: what will we be talking about tomorrow night? [10:47:47] <ChrisLehmann> : you know what I love about this message -- it's not that new. McLuhan talked about the "Prosumer" almost 40 years ago. We finally have the tools. [10:48:22] <DavidJakes> : McLuhan's idea are never more important than today...the medium is the message [10:48:56] <ChrisLehmann> : agreed. I want to re-read. [10:48:57] <DavidJakes> : the ability of the medium to make significant changes in the way we connect, learn, and promote change is the message [10:49:36] <ChrisLehmann> : agreed. [10:49:50] <ChrisLehmann> : But we also have to make sure we still have something to say. :) [10:50:14] : Just think of the connections available to all of us in the past year [10:50:15] : Boy, my home office is a lot less solitary than it used to be. I might as well be in an office with all of you (and Will in the next cubicle) right now. [10:50:28] : I mean that in a good way. ;) [10:50:56] <ChrisLehmann> : Web 2.0 -- the Global Cube Farm. :) [10:51:03] <DavidJakes> : @chris. http://tinyurl.com/3ym58l [10:51:15] <DavidJakes> : Favorite McLuhan analysis [10:51:46] : Edublogger community calendar from iJohn. Use it for things like this. http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/1131/?ps=1 [10:51:48] <ChrisLehmann> : sweet. [10:51:50] : And pass it on. [10:52:20] : Best way to get URLs out of this chat? [10:52:54] : Oh, Vicki's a moderate of the calendar, too. Thanks, Vicki. [10:53:13] : Yes. The calendar is awesome. [10:53:17] <ChrisLehmann> : Cut and paste [10:53:21] : John did it -- we just refound it the other day. [10:53:30] : Does this channel seem really really quiet to anyone else? [10:53:58] <ChrisLehmann> : Vicki -- we might be concentrating on Will? [10:54:20] : Oops I've got it now. I'm in a loud room, Chris, sorry to distract you. [10:55:14] <ChrisLehmann> : Vicki -- no distraction at all. I love multi-tasking... I was just wondering. :) [10:55:27] <DavidJakes> : Connection is the most critical element of learning today that is missing from most schools [10:55:30] <ChrisLehmann> : I thought you meant "Chat Channel," not Will's voice. :) [10:55:41] : No his voice -- the audio -- not the chat. [10:55:42] : ;-) [10:55:53] <ChrisLehmann> : ah... gotcha. Did you turn up the volume on the strea? [10:55:58] <ChrisLehmann> : I always have to turn it all the way up. [10:55:58] : I figured it out. [10:56:05] : Ihad to turn it all of the way up too. [10:56:26] <DavidJakes> : We are being forced to do that, but in the wrong way-its called NCLB [10:56:51] <ChrisLehmann> : Do we accept payment by check for EduCon? [10:57:01] <ChrisLehmann> : ack... don't want to leave... have to get to ameeting. *grr* [10:57:16] <DavidJakes> : He's absolutely right [10:57:23] : I had to turn it down, am watching the chat - I'm in in service. [10:57:25] <ChrisLehmann> : yep. He usually is. [10:57:59] <DavidJakes> : that vision is so far from reality in US schools [10:58:18] <ChrisLehmann> : David -- we're trying. :) [10:58:24] <DavidJakes> : In our schools, we are preparing kids for a test-either that or get taken over by the state [10:58:47] <DavidJakes> : Already happening at our South campus [10:59:02] : teaching to test all the time [10:59:03] <DavidJakes> : Learning on Demand, nice [10:59:05] <ChrisLehmann> : I'm actually proud of how well we do that kind of learning at SLA. [10:59:26] <DavidJakes> : All of this has really been amplified since NECC [10:59:31] <ChrisLehmann> : Might not be the right answer... but it'd be *AN* answer. :) [10:59:49] : in my district 4th grade is not teaching SS for 1st MP only science because of the science state test in Oct [11:00:33] <DavidJakes> : From the movie Seabiscuit: "It was the beginning and end of imagination all at the same time" [11:00:48] <DavidJakes> : fits education perfectly [11:01:23] <DavidJakes> : he's in a zone now [11:01:44] <DavidJakes> : not transparent, not permeable [11:01:44] : I love this theme. [11:01:57] <DavidJakes> : @markwagner. I used permeable... [11:02:14] : @davidjakes ;) [11:02:16] <DavidJakes> : sweet [11:02:28] <DavidJakes> : and the show just rocked! [11:03:02] : it was good, missed the chat though [11:03:13] <ChrisLehmann> : Anyone else just lose sound? [11:03:20] : Still have sound. [11:03:22] <DavidJakes> : im good [11:03:25] <ChrisLehmann> : odd. [11:03:39] : audio choppy for me at times Chris [11:03:51] : David, I almost watched that show from the archive. Couldn't quite make myself do it. ;) [11:04:12] <DavidJakes> : c'mon drink the Weblogg-ed TV kool aid [11:04:37] <ChrisLehmann> : o.k. -- got to go to a meeting. Late already. [11:04:38] <ChrisLehmann> : Later all! [11:04:52] : Bye, Chris. [11:05:06] : still got video [11:05:54] : my connection is fine [11:06:01] : sound just skipping a beat once in a while [11:06:11] <DavidJakes> : I think the most important aspect of blogging is personal reflection, and then have the network question, challenge, and support your thinking [11:06:11] : not bad [11:06:55] <DavidJakes> : I'm wondering if his audience understands the true power of the network for learning [11:07:18] <DavidJakes> : @markwagner: loved your NECC submission title about networks and learning [11:07:38] : Readers are writers too and have a lot of power. [11:08:01] : And he just left! [11:08:04] <DavidJakes> : too bad he had to leave! [11:08:14] : I wish we could see his audience and their reflections. I suspect it's "out of the echo chamber" and we could benefit from that. And thanks, David. I certainly indepted to the network for those ideas. :) [11:08:31] : David I am not sure if one can understand that concept until they actually start to read and connect themselves [11:08:41] <DavidJakes> : I completely agree [11:09:11] : Would hope some of these folks will start after this session at least explore [11:09:42] <DavidJakes> : I think that is a critical aspect of blogging (including personal posts) because it lets people see the real person, and develop that connection. [11:10:11] : I agree [11:10:12] <DavidJakes> : It's an amazing experience when you finally meet the person you have been reading, you feel like you know them [11:10:20] : Really, you do know them. [11:10:35] : However in some ways the person you know doesn't know you!! and it can be a little daunting. [11:10:59] <DavidJakes> : LeaderTalk is a great way to hook admins on blogging [11:11:51] : I agree David, that's how I got my admin profs hooked. [11:12:36] : Regarding knowing the bloggers you read: we really only know part of them. Also, I find reading blogs much different after actually meeting (and getting to know) the blogger. [11:12:46] : That is true, Mark! [11:12:57] : I mean, who knew that we had twitter maniacs in our midst until NECC. [11:13:04] : Very true Mark [11:13:05] : Steve Dembo and the twittercam were something else. [11:13:23] <DavidJakes> : Raise your hand if you are looking forward to San Antonio! [11:13:32] : [11:13:39] : hand raised [11:13:51] : hand in stratosphere [11:14:27] : So true... and important. A lot of folks don't believe that "write it and they will come" bit. [11:14:29] <DavidJakes> : how will (no pun intended) these tools make a difference there? [11:14:39] : Use the connections, teach how to connect, teach ethics. [11:14:58] : Many of us are using the Ning for blogging. [11:15:01] <DavidJakes> : How does the blogger cafe change? [11:15:13] : What platform is he using to present? [11:15:19] <DavidJakes> : @coolcat-how are you getting around the inappropriate Nings? [11:15:38] <DavidJakes> : @snbeach. Don't know. [11:15:41] : I think the back channel chat will make the biggest difference. I'll be "we" attend more sessions this year - and get more out of it. [11:15:42] : I've really enjoyed Ning, my preservice teachers are really starting to "get it" through Ning. [11:15:50] : Nings are blocked for me because of that David [11:16:06] : Where are the edc leaders he is presenting to? [11:16:10] : Just blog ning nad unblock the url for your ning. [11:16:22] : Usually you can have an appropriate site for yours. [11:16:25] : has there been alot on action over the weekend alec? [11:16:31] <DavidJakes> : and what about home? That's my concern. [11:16:43] : Hopefully we see a lot of google presos and ustreaming this year, too. [11:16:45] : There are good and bad web pages. [11:16:53] : There are good and bad places in Atlanta -- I don't stop going to Atlanta. [11:17:09] : I'm using it for a church group with a very clear permission form and complete instructions for the parents. [11:17:23] : @thekyleguy ... no, been pretty slow this long weekend, but I find that in every social network this weekend. [11:17:55] <DavidJakes> : But are you sending them to those bad web pages. Would you send them to those bad places in Atlanta? [11:17:59] <KarenJanowski> : Vicki - the difference is you have to move yourself to that environment, unfortunately, one click takes you to "bad" pages. [11:18:07] : No. I don't send them there. [11:18:11] : Yeah! [11:18:16] : Yay Vicki! [11:18:17] <DavidJakes> : But a parent could make that argument [11:18:31] : and they have where I am [11:18:31] : Flat classroom just restarted and includes 7 classes [11:18:31] <DavidJakes> : Good for Vicki! [11:18:35] : including LA school for the arts [11:19:02] : http://flatclassroomproject.wikispaces.com - Quatar, US, ST. Louis, China, Australia, Austria [11:19:06] : Man it's amazing how much the content filtering theme continues to emerge in the last few weeks. What a pain filtering is! [11:19:22] : Oh and forgetting LA [11:19:25] <DavidJakes> : @courosa. Getting worse, not better [11:19:35] : Well, if you teach parents about the dangers [11:19:38] : wrap up? Man I just got here again. I'm always late [11:19:38] : Tell them that there are problems. [11:19:39] <KarenJanowski> : i understand your point, vicki, but wish there was an easier way to protect my own kids - I'll never forget the day my daughter at age 10 was onslaughted with visual porn and couldn't get out of it. [11:19:55] : Hey. I just discovered you can set a preference so people can chat in ustream without having to login. [11:19:55] : I use Norton Internet Security. [11:20:11] : It lets me block chatting but I can go in and enable a certain website. [11:20:14] : That is what I use. [11:20:18] : at home [11:20:34] : It can be done with filtering but someone has to be willing to try. [11:20:35] : Clarence, he is going to answer questions from his audience in a few min [11:20:47] : Part of the issue is those who make the decisions of what is blocked and what is not and why [11:20:54] : I thought you went or groceries? (Twitter) [11:20:56] : @djakes: Yea, seems like the pressure to filter is worse and worse, but I'm fighting it hard, and helping teachers do the same, while educating parents. It's the only long-term, sustainable solution IMHO. [11:21:03] : You are in a great position Vicki because it is in your control [11:21:06] : @KarenJanowski -- Get Norton Internet security and turn on parental controls. [11:21:09] : ha, on my way [11:21:21] : There is always a way -- filters do as they are told. [11:21:27] : for me it is my IT department and they are less that cooperative [11:21:30] : You can block domains but allow a specific one. [11:21:30] : @thekyleguy: What time does the game start? [11:21:34] <DavidJakes> : @courosa. Fight the good fight, I think the way you are doing it is the right way. [11:21:36] <KarenJanowski> : thanks vicki! [11:21:40] : 2:00 your time [11:21:41] : do you know any good adobe help sites [11:21:42] : 2 i think [11:21:50] : 3 here in MB [11:21:54] : I know I have asked for training but won't give me access [11:22:05] : do you know any good adobe help sites [11:22:17] <DavidJakes> : what was in that glass? [11:22:18] : Oh man. How do we ditch the spam or whatever that is? [11:22:28] : Never saw this before [11:22:30] : Nicely done Will\ [11:22:31] : @dporductionz1 -- I don't know that we would -- I just use the regular adobe center. [11:22:34] : no questions [11:22:40] : oy [11:22:42] : Great talk, Will. Thanks for sharing. [11:22:47] : OK, how do you feel about ustream inschools. [11:22:48] : Great job Will [11:22:48] <DavidJakes> : very nicely done [11:22:51] : We don't know how we feel yet. [11:22:56] : Really? No questions? [11:23:03] : Definitely outside the echo chamber. [11:23:11] : lost audio... [11:23:12] <KarenJanowski> : looks like will is listening, but i lost audio [11:23:14] <DavidJakes> : same here [11:23:15] : No audio. [11:23:24] : We're in trouble, guys. [11:23:27] : will take some time before this is accepted in my school [11:23:27] : He gave us the teacher look. [11:23:31] : @glassbeed: I think it's WB & SK or WB & BC in the grey cup ... no other possibilities. [11:23:35] : But look at the PD here! [11:23:37] : and the shaky finger thing [11:23:39] : wants us to be patient [11:23:47] : audio back [11:23:51] : @cfisher - lol [11:23:54] : audio now [11:24:02] : @courosa we are down to the wire [11:24:19] <DavidJakes> : @cfisher. How bout dem Bearsz? [11:24:24] <KarenJanowski> : he is speaking to the audience that needs to hear this stuff! [11:24:29] : yeah, yeah I sw the score [11:24:50] : couldnt make it till the end, but picked up the highlights [11:24:57] <DavidJakes> : same here [11:25:11] <KarenJanowski> : Will, can you ask them how many of them are using social tools themselves? [11:25:20] : Alright I got to run to the store [11:25:20] : Too bad we can't hear the questions. [11:25:25] : He need a USB headset to get discreet audio so we can hear both... but he may not want that too [11:25:32] : And a TV channel for that matter. [11:25:36] : have a good day all. [11:25:39] : Speakers would feedback to them... how could he do that. [11:25:41] : I couldn't hear the questions. [11:25:42] : You can set them up within 5 minutes, only IF they are not blocked on your school filters ... ugggh. [11:25:50] <DavidJakes> : like he needs more business [11:25:57] : I have skype running through ustream now. Directions here: [11:25:57] <DavidJakes> : hahahaha [11:26:00] : lol [11:26:01] : true [11:26:07] : We have had a terrible time on flat classroom e'mailing theteacher from the LA school for the arts. [11:26:10] : http://vanishingpoint.edublogs.org [11:26:11] : I literally cannot e-mail her! [11:26:16] : Had to et ning unblocked. [11:26:20] : It is like pulling teeth. [11:26:29] : Yes it is Vicki [11:26:30] : Awesome job. [11:26:36] : Thanks for leading the way on this, Will. [11:26:40] : This is a great tool and great PD. [11:26:44] : Thanks Will! [11:26:51] : I'm sitting here in a workshop listening to you working on my assignment. [11:26:53] : Will, you're making it k12onlineconference every day. ;) [11:26:56] <DavidJakes> : Enjoyed it, had lots of fun chatting [11:26:57] : bye [11:26:57] : boring to watch, huh?
