vances : we can see you now

vances : I can tell you the trick

vances : you have to click on the app share WHEN you want us to see it

vances : generation Me, i like it

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: I think those connections are a search for something of substance, something secure . . . but are often very shallow indeed.

Daf : wonderful combination peech-images

Daf : s peech

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: "This environment of reciprocal apprenticeship"

cheryloakes50 [Cheryl]: Dennis that is music to my thinking!

Daf : networked learning

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Mine, too, Cheryl.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Exactly, Dafne.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: forging, fostering, facilitating: yes

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Yes, I think it IS a good thing: it inspires those who are secretly (or not so secretly) afraid of technology or fearful of looking like a fool. (It's OK to look like a fool, I think; it's part of learning.)

cheryloakes50 [Cheryl]: It is okay to demonstrate perseverance when working with technology, it doesn't always work smoothly.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Yes!

shieldsk : Ok, I made it, Hi all

vances : well done

shieldsk : thx!

shieldsk : what do you do vance?

vances : let's talk back in the webheadsinaction chat

shieldsk : ok

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Students have the opportunity to "find their voices."

monayegy [Mona]: yes definetely

monayegy [Mona]: taking the responsibility of their own learning

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Yes--and being INVOLVED in it.

monayegy [Mona]: but the crucial point here IF we do it right

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: I agree.

cheryloakes50 [Cheryl]: even the quiet students have a voice without the struggle.

monayegy [Mona]: I liked the idea of giving the middle space up ... for the learners... this will raise their confidence

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: Isn't some modeling needed somewhere along the line, however--so it's not just blab, blab, blab?

monayegy [Mona]: yes.... like I said we have to do it right ( within a frame ...)

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: These students are really engaged--if they read each other's work that really can do it.

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: So it's like a "read aloud protocol" -- they see how someone else does it.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: But I think they do need some guidance.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: I think that's what Barbara is talking about now.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: "To start commenting . . . without setting down the groundwork . . . ." That's the modeling, the guidance, no?

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: (Actually that was an example of NOT modeling and providing guidance, but Barbara said it to show how important groundwork / background / modeling / guidance is, right?)

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: I'm fllowing it, Dennis--just supporting what she was saying

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Me, too. Thinking out loud.

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: I didn't mean to seem critical or "teachy."

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: Question- Barbara--have you had any bad experiences, ie. someone who just didn't get it/post at all, or who stuck to trivial interactions?

vances : got a mic elizabeth?

vances :

shieldsk : bandwidth is a problem with elluminate

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: My computer seems to be fighting it all the way, too!

vances : I was having that problem on my laptop

durff [mrs]: can you put those links in the chat?

vances : I have a question

durff [mrs]: I can't copy them

vances : we can hear you ok

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: A tech question--do you have laptops/wireless? or computers in your regular classes? How do you show, e.g., the 5 blog examples to the class?

shieldsk : we ca hear you

shieldsk : but the ppt isn't moving

shieldsk : no we can't hear you!

vances : turn off the app share?

shieldsk : OK good now!

shieldsk : something is happening on the screen

shieldsk : slowly

durff [mrs]: I thought it was just me

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: It's the desktop sharing that causes problems, I think.

shieldsk : think so too

shieldsk : yes

shieldsk : we hear

vances : yep

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: yes--you are clear

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: Yes, we can hear.

vances : that was Mona

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: So it's kind of gradual blending

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: This is a great talk!!

Dennis-Phoenix [Dennis]: I agree!

shieldsk : do you assign reading

shieldsk : like the book you mentioned?

shieldsk : Do they have to post to blogs or start their own

shieldsk : I'm in grad school and think it lacks interactivity

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: Sounds really logical

shieldsk : I like f2f for converstation butplease don't read from a ppt, you don't so that do you?

ElizabethHa [Elizabeth]: SK: Do you work in groups or only solo?

shieldsk : Do you podcast your lectures

shieldsk : Do you have people listening to your elluminate archives?

shieldsk : I wish I had you as a teacher

shieldsk : I agree

shieldsk : i can reead!

shieldsk : read!
