Jeff: what is the name of the user that she is using right now on delicious danna: I'm dannabeck on Twitter juliana: I am not lost but since almost everything we are discussing is blocked at my school, what is the point. Sad I know. I teach in several different classrooms and there is only one computer in each room so we have to go to a special room if the students have to use a computer. Jeff: @juliana - what school are you at? SandraR2002: i want to know how to make wikis for my english class. where do i go to get started? hvoran from x.x.x.98 joined the chat 5 hours ago Jennifer M.: @ Juliana This is something you can also use for your personal professional development or your personal learning network (your PLN) BarbInNebraska: @sandra I like Wikispaces, very easy to start Jennifer M.: These are tools that can be used as a learning tool for you and then eventually hopefully schools will catch up and you'll be able to use these with students hvoran: @SandraR2002 PbWorks is also good...http://www.pbworks.com juliana: River Road HS BarbInNebraska: @Juliana, It's all about being a life long learner.

BarbInNebraska: hey, what time is lunch, I'm getting hungry. :-) klmontgomery: Step 1 - http://delicious.com Jeff: I try to determine what the sites contain if anything is inappropriate or not. Sometimes they error on the cautious side instead of blocking as things happen :( juliana: I am always hungry--barbara, are you from here in Amarillo? suzysouth: in the TAGS on this region 16 delicious acct, pbworks is saved in about 4 or 5 tags, what do you do to keep that from happening or does it matter? klmontgomery: Step 2 - login using username: ecs16 password: a23456 klmontgomery: Step 3 - Find a URL by using TAB browsing BarbInNebraska: @Juliana, I'm in Nebraska and I guess I could just run to the fridge and get a snack. klmontgomery: Step 4 - Copy URL Zachary from x.x.x.98 joined the chat 5 hours ago klmontgomery: Step 5 - Click "Save A Bookmark" John Peters: I just downloaded Yummy on my iPhone to access my Delicious Bookmarks.

If I had a fridge in the room, I would be snacking for sure. hvoran: I do use it for personal information such as bank, credit cards, etc. Jennifer M.: @ suzysouth it's the same basic idea; however, diigo has a few other features that you don't have it delicious Jennifer M.: in diigo you can make comments about things on the webpage and share with those of you that are in my network RRP: @hvoran thanks, we have scholar through Bb and it is more of a protected place for students Jennifer M.: ask questions now... :) Jeff: ??????????????

Nick from x.x.x.98 joined the chat 2 hours ago Robby: rhondacurtsinger....I taught in Irving, Jennifer M.: if you need use to help make that connection, we can do that! klmontgomery: An H.323 386 kbps call takes about 400 kbps rhondacurtsinger: Ok I mean to connect with another class on a regular basis Jennifer M.: I'm not sure about that, but is definitely something we could try and find for you Jeff: There have been some classes in schools from NY that have been looking. I would contact jeff rogers or jane at region 16 Robby: the entire district has the ability to skype with you...at most all schools...most all grade levels Jennifer M.: yes - Jeff/Jane can help make those connections because they're in the "thick of it" klmontgomery: rhondacurtsinger Check out http://thinkingmachine.pbworks.com/Think-Interactive-Videoconferencing.

Is it not? Jennifer M.: Skype costs to make phone calls to landlines Jennifer M.: if you both have a Skype account - it's free Super Jill: ok...thanks for the info! Jennifer M.: Skype also costs money for cell phones :) Jennifer M.: sure! dkhill: I think a lot of this is a staff development issue. We can show teachers all of this, but if we don't have proper training, frustration sets in. Jennifer M.: totally agree @dkhill Jennifer M.: it's all about the training and, again, giving purpose to the tools...and the process of using them personally prior to using them in classrooms dkhill: as a trainer, sometimes it's the follow-up that becomes a time issue. John Peters: The beauty of skype is utilizing the free video conferencing aspect. I use that all of the time to "visit" my my grandsons in San Antonio all of the time and it is free Zachary: @dkhill If admin is not properly trained and or informed, that is frustrating Jennifer M.: I'm jennafuzz on Skype as well Jeff: @dkhill - i agree completely. I try to do as much as possible on staff development plus help them on their first couple of times using it. Wesley: Here is Brian's preso on videoconferencing: http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=279 klmontgomery: Also can find video here: http://learningismessy.com/blog/?p=196 suzyhug from x.x.x.199 joined the chat 2 hours ago TexMetsFan from x.x.x.199 joined the chat 2 hours ago Jennifer M.: what do you think about the video and the opportunity that this is providing that student? RRP: we have several students that this will help suzysouth: it's pretty awesome; will sure make better teachers of us all if we were on video.... John Peters: @dkhill I agree with you. You have to get your teachers using the technology and then get them passionate about technology BoSox Fan: @Jennifer M. Could be used for all kinds of home bound situations. suzysouth: getting teacher buy in is a biggie Jennifer M.: exactly! SandraR2002: this was awesome klmontgomery: @Jeff - Are you the person Heather Lamb mentioned in reference to the June 9 TCEA event? BoSox Fan: @Jennifer M. Do you have a list of technology trainings for your 2009-2010 calendar already? klmontgomery: @Jennifer M. Just realized your the person I was playing phone tag with yesterday. Jeff: very true. We need to use more technology because that is how kids learn. We have to keep up with them which is hard to do klmontgomery: your = you're Zachary: This would actually save us money because our district pays homebound teachers extra. Also we would avoid a teacher having to teach multiple subjects. Jeff: @klmontgomery - I don't believe so Jennifer M.: @BoSox Fan - not yet, but have it on my calendar to plan that sometime this week! Be watching the calendar and I'll send info out to districts... klmontgomery: Can't hear her on the UStream. Jeff: everybody is always playing phone tag with Jennifer M Jeff: :) Jennifer M.: haha - yes @Jeff...hard to get me when I'm in the office - email is always best :) jennifer.mcdaniel@esc16.net Jennifer M.: I'm a woman on the move... ;) Jeff: lol klmontgomery: @Jennifer M I thnk the problem was I was on the move!

I tried to sign up but was too late for this summer. suzysouth: aha, I take it that would include the use of whiteboards? Zachary: Web 2.0 is offeered this summer. Jennifer M.: I'm hoping to run it again...go ahead & register and put yourself on the waitlist - helps me to justify the need for another session! Corina: i am glad they added that last part on there about dvd's suzysouth: elec whiteboards Marisa: okay thanks danna: History 2.0 will be offered next fall, once during the week and once on Saturday. Jeff: Jennifer -- I am signed up for it :) Cowgirl: which whiteboards do you prefer, smartboards or promethia(sp) suzysouth: if we are putting our lessons and kids are recording their part, is it just 'out there' on the net? Jennifer M.: To register: go to http://www.esc16.net; click on Workshops, Session # 128896 Jeff: is that last video on our videos list? twilliamson15: Cowgirl, in my experience the only difference for the boards is with the software...the boards themselves do the same basic thing suzysouth: Jeff, do we have a videos list? Jennifer M.: @suzysouth it's not "out there" until the teacher puts it there...the content is wherever you placed it Jennifer M.: *place Wesley: Here is our MyWebspiration brainstorm: http://www.mywebspiration.com/view/133133a10de2 Pat: when is the training for "smart boards" for teachers/districts? Nick: Cowgirl, I have never used the promethia, but I do have a smartboard in my classroom and I love it. Wesley: here is the video link page: http://www.speedofcreativity.org/resources/videos-for-pd/ Cowgirl: so is there much difference between the software, one better than the other? zoe from x.x.x.98 joined the chat 2 hours ago Lost in Ama from x.x.x.98 joined the chat 2 hours ago Jan from x.x.x.98 joined the chat 2 hours ago Corina: @Jennifer M. so if we use blackboard that is great, right? John Peters: @Lost in Ama Why are you lost? suzysouth: I had a smartboard, it was good, our school is buying promethean boards. What I see that's different is the software available, and already ready to use klmontgomery: @twilliamson15 There are some slight differences in the way they operate, too. Don from x.x.x.98 joined the chat 2 hours ago Jennifer M.: @Corina - yes...Bb is a way to post the information annette: Does region 16 have a Smartboard training this summer? zoe: mobi interwrite boards are also a great tool for the interactivity in the classroom. chara: I did have a smartboard and they took it away for the whole school to use and no one have checked it out! Very sad :( dkhill: I love Smartboards, but if you want the same experience away from the board, try the new Mobi by einstruction. The cost will make you smile! suzyhug from x.x.x.199 joined the chat 2 hours ago Jennifer M.: @annette & @Pat - we're working towards being able to offer SmartBoard training this summer...not out there yet... klmontgomery: The nice thing about IWB ia that the lessons you can fin online import from one to the other. A SMART lesson can be imported into Promethian and vice versa. hvoran: Presentation Zen--Gar Reynolds Corina: @zoe do you use the mobi interwrite boards? Cowgirl: has anyone worked with brands of whiteboards, which did you like better twilliamson15: @klmontgomery can you mention any specifics?? I have a SmartBoard in my classroom but have used Promethian before and didn't notice any major differences? klmontgomery: @Jennifer M. I'm a SMART certified trainer if you need one:-) dkhill: We've had online staff development on Presentation Zen. I've already done training with some of our teachers and we're changing. chara: I had an Interwrite Board and I liked it! Jennifer M.: :) thanks @klmontgomery! Corina: @dkhill I have one of the old interwrite boards, do the Mobi boards work better? hvoran: @dkhill That is awesome! I'd love to see us have that kind of training here! annette: Where do you do the training at? Zachary: @Jennifer M I wish ESC XVI or XVII would offer a course on the creation of webpages using Google or FrontPage. dkhill: Corina, not only better, but they'll work together! twilliamson15: my wife has a Mimio system in her classroom...again, the basics are the same even with that tool...the real key is how you change your instruction to allow students to interact with the information suzysouth: presentation zen has some great examples of different ways/methods of ppt presentations dkhill: I'd be more than happy to do a training here. suzysouth: best practice methods Corina: @dkhill how about recording and uploading to Bb Jeff: which type of the interwrite boards are better? mobi, rmeducation, etc Jennifer M.: @Zachary - we haven't had requests for that in a while, but I know we've done that previously :) klmontgomery: @twilliamson15 "The big difference is touching and writing on the boards. For the Smartboard there are 4 color "pens" that write on the board. You can add other colors, but those for are as easy to use as picking up off the tray. A finger can also be used to touch the board, acting like a cursor. For the Promethean board you can not use a finger to touch the board, instea you muct use one of the two provided pens. To change the color you have to use a menu on screen and then choose your color." dkhill: Jeff, don't think it's a matter of better, but what you prefer. Jeff: which do the teachers prefer? I would not be using it, but they would Corina: @dkhill does AISD have a preference? we are looking at choosing for AACAL's math dept twilliamson15: @klmontgomery okay, I'm with you there...didn't get that indepth into it...that's similar to my wife's Mimio, you have to use the pen and change the color through the software program dkhill: kl, are you not using Notebook 10 with your smartboard? Wesley: link is here: http://handouts.wesfryer.com/ingredients Zachary: @Jennifer M, GeoCities is being closed by Yahoo so it may be a good time to guage interest again. I feel new teachers without a webpage would be very interested in Webpage design classes. suzyhug from x.x.x.199 joined the chat 2 hours ago dkhill: our cluster is going with the Mobi for both the ability to be away from the board and do whatever Smart can do and the cost. klmontgomery: I am using and my certification is in Notebook 10, I have also presented Level 1 Senteo training. Corina: thanks ;) klmontgomery: A wiki makes a wonderful wbesite - no IT needed! Jennifer M.: Thanks @Zachary - I was not aware and we're always looking for needs to meet...thanks for sharing! zoe: if you are wishing to use interactive wireless boards that can be handed around to students, then it is only a matter of preferences. Interwrite was a stand alone company that is now part of the www.einstruction.com umbrella company. dkhill: kl, I asked because you mentioned 10 has so many other uses of color. suzysouth: I liked the ease of operating the smartboard, but we had to build our own lessons, find online resources, etc. it took a LOT of time twilliamson15: @suzysouth one of my main goals for next year is to have students create interactive Notebook files for topics we're covering in class zoe: The new smartboard updates have lots of lessons that are available at no charge. and the templates in smartboard are easy to use and put in the information that is relevant to your classroom lessons. dkhill: suzysouth, the online lessons are what I LOVE about smart! Jennifer M.: that is so true @klmontgomery - I know a lot of wikis are still blocked in school, but this would be a great way to show how wikis can be used in classrooms klmontgomery: Flickr Group http://www.flickr.com/groups/voicethreadphotos/ has 800 photos all creative common licensed for teachers and students. Set up for use with VoiceThread, but can be used for anything by educators. klmontgomery: @dkhill We were talking about the differences of IWBs. klmontgomery: twilliamson15 Student use is so awesome!!! twilliamson15: @klmontgomery our school's technician never got around to installing Notebook software in any of the labs...only on teacher computers...so I'm begging for it to be done over the summer :) Jennifer M.: if you need assistance with the assignment (when we're released to work on that), I'll be available! klmontgomery: My flickr resources http://thinkingmachine.pbworks.com/Think Photo Sharing with Flickr klmontgomery: Bad Link - Try http://thinkingmachine.pbworks.com/Think Photo Sharing with Flickr klmontgomery: Might have to type in URL??
