I am interested in this conversation

Carrie Williamson (NC) • 2007-11-26 08:47:32
I am looking forward to having a conversation for you to look forward to...

Ellen Verhaagen (US) • 2007-11-26 08:48:01
this is hard to do...

Jane Bowser (NC) • 2007-11-26 08:48:22
This is really cool!

Julie Williams (US) • 2007-11-26 08:48:42
hello-

mary warren (US) • 2007-11-26 08:49:03
I finally got it!

dbrunskill (US) • 2007-11-26 08:49:07
By following your link it knew to take us all to the same place?

Amy (US) • 2007-11-26 08:49:16

Along with Web 2.0 we will need to address Teaching 2.0 or Classroom 2.0

''I hope that we touched on this. I know that you're already a member of Classroom 2.0 Ning social network. Hopefully those conversations will help as well. I think that there are simply a small handful of shifts we have to make in our teacher minds that will enable and empower us to become 2.0pians ;-):

Shift from thinking about teaching in an info-scarce environment to thinking about teaching in an info-abundant environment
Shift from teaching students to assume authority to proving authority (teach more from sources that demand proof instead of sources that demand obedience [textbooks])
Shift from just teaching, to teaching and creating valuable learning experiences
Shift from controlling the learn toward respecting the learning experience.
Shift from using the computer as a teaching tool, to using it as a thinking tool.
A shift from exclusive practicing teaching in front of the class to practicing learning in front of the class -- becoming a model/master learner.''

I wish I could do this with my students

The Ajaxchat software can be downloaded here -- download. You'll need to install it on a web server that will run PHP scripts and includes a MySQL database. This includes virtually all web servers and you can rent sufficient server space for companies like Bluehost or Dreamhost for $5 to $10 a month.

mary warren (US) • 2007-11-26 08:50:28
Me, too!

Carrie Williamson (NC) • 2007-11-26 08:50:41
could I do this with my students? It would be great to have conversations about class topics and then post to a wiki

The Posting to a wiki is a hack that I wrote. But you are right. It's a cool feature, as illustrated here ;-)

Natalie (US) • 2007-11-26 08:53:57
that's awesome...I've been looking for something like that

Carrie Williamson (NC) • 2007-11-26 08:58:41
my next book talk will be a podcast

I think that podcasted book talks are a cool idea. If you can involve the community in the talk (through the talk), then that would be great as well.

mary warren (US) • 2007-11-26 08:58:49
Audacity is very user friendly

Natalie (US) • 2007-11-26 09:06:42
if we wanted to change the wiki we would have to sign in, right?

The signin/password for this wiki is (teacher).

Jane Bowser (NC) • 2007-11-26 09:07:44
Yes

Natalie (US) • 2007-11-26 09:08:59
wow that's really cool

Ellen Verhaagen (US) • 2007-11-26 09:28:20
how do you teach kids that adding their favorite mp3 song to a podcast is not legal?

I really like what someone else said in the workshop, that if you can make the students intellectual property owners, then then may come to respect the intellectual property of others.

There is a great dvd created by DPI called Copyright or Wrong? that does an excellent job of explaining copyright to kids. A Raleigh H.S. kid explains why "stealing music" for his movies is illegal. Every NC school should have this dvd.

Ellen Verhaagen (US) • 2007-11-26 10:01:29
thanks, amy!

Ellen Verhaagen (US) • 2007-11-26 10:20:42
i created a wiki using PBWiki for a classroom full of 7th and 8th graders

Natalie (US) • 2007-11-26 14:33:33
would you allow students to just go on creative commons freely to search for images for websites, etc?

marywarren (NC) • 2007-11-26 15:05:09
Thanks for the GREAT DAY of knowledge!
