17:21 davecormier yo

17:22 AliceMercer That could be interesting for you and and Durff Dave

17:23 AliceMercer Dave did I miss you talking about Archive project?

17:23 arthus busy building an open source WordPress package for education...

17:24 AliceMercer I did one at Edublogs

17:24 JL2 http://www.snapvine.com/

17:24 AliceMercer Miguel G is doing work on that

17:24 stevem We use an ELGG, plugged into moodle for portfolios

17:25 davecormier where was that link Alice?

17:25 arthus had computer taken away... but was still able to tweet :P

17:25 JohnSchinker I was thinking elgg was the way to go, but wasn't sure if there was something newer & better

17:25 AliceMercer Oh, I have REVOLUTIONED my admin with Jott

17:25 arthus did anyone notice Jott integrated with Twitter?

17:25 arthus very nice...

17:25 JohnSchinker http://notemesh.com/notemesh.php?a=home

17:25 AliceMercer The NPR on story corp, then you were going to talk about archive project in PEI

17:25 sharonp ahhh you Americans whose cell phone service is so cheap

17:26 AliceMercer Arthus, I heard about it.

17:26 sharonp those kinds of services would cost me a mint

17:26 AliceMercer Sharon, you have NO idea how ugly the documentation is with new speical educuation plan

17:26 davecormier yes... i couldn't remember that it was NPR

17:26 sharonp Alice, I shudder to imagine

17:27 AliceMercer John, anyone think of using that with conferences?

17:27 davecormier http://www.vmware.com/download/server/

17:27 sharonp my despair this week - we have a great education plan - based on multiple literacies.... took a look at the annual prov teachers' conference - NO web 2.0 - closest is someone offering to teach how to make webpages on geocities....!!!

17:27 SuzieQ what are you using at school at the moment. Arthus..I wonder if it jives with what you use out of school

17:28 JohnSchinker I think they're trying to keep it to postsecondary, but there's no reason why you can't just do the same thing with a wiki

17:28 AliceMercer I also put in a link for Jen Stark's paper sculpture, and Eric Gejarde's photostream of origami

17:28 SuzieQ that qustion was directed at arthus

17:28 SuzieQ question

17:28 arthus Suzie: what do u mean as in wat i'm using?

17:29 arthus using for....

17:29 AliceMercer Sharon, sounds like my online class. Scholastic pages for teachers or teacherweb

17:30 JL2 http://www.cogniview.com/convert-pdf-to-excel/post/conversion-central-101-tools-to-convert-video-music-images-pdf-and-more/

17:30 JL2 http://www.trueknowledge.com/

17:30 arthus uh... use Mac OS X :P

17:30 JenM having some skype issues ... sorry ... brb (I hope)

17:30 AliceMercer Hey, why didn't Premiere Elements read the Mac .mov file I uploaded? That's not an unusual format is it?

17:30 SuzieQ do you use the same web2.0 apps at school as you are using outside of school

17:30 AliceMercer Sorry, existential question

17:30 sharonp I looked at trueknowledge - very interesting

17:30 davecormier sorry Alice... too long for me to read live... will have to wait :P

17:30 JL2 http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2007/11/attack-of-20ers.html

17:31 arthus @Suzie oh... lol... we don't use web 2.0 apps in school at all

17:31 JohnSchinker http://wiredforbooks.org/index2.htm

17:31 arthus unfortunately we dont

17:31 AliceMercer Dave, the link or my link to story corp?

17:31 SuzieQ I thought so, arthus!!

17:31 AliceMercer How to change my color?

17:32 arthus why is there something saying "webcam ustream" over the text?

17:32 arthus over the stream

17:32 davecormier http://librarianinblack.typepad.com/librarianinblack/2007/10/il2007-cool-too.html

17:33 AliceMercer Dave, Hey I use that google reader to link list on my blog!

17:33 JL2 it's the webcam max logo

17:33 AliceMercer It's sweet!

17:33 JenM http://www.boingboing.net/2007/11/05/wfmu-streaming-radio.html ... and ... http://www.sesamevault.com/mobile?campaign=deck&ad=3

17:33 JL2 haven't paid for it on that machine yet

17:33 arthus @JL2 oh... stupid Windows :P

17:33 AliceMercer Arthus, don't get me starte on MAC! I've had "issues" this week.

17:34 arthus you've had issues with your mac!? WHOAH

17:34 AliceMercer Dave Cormier: you want to do it another week?

17:34 SuzieQ Mac and issues..hard to believe

17:34 SuzieQ LOL

17:34 sharonp I object to the American exclusive coverage of iPhone....

17:34 arthus no longer...

17:35 arthus it's in Europe now...

17:35 arthus doncha know? :P

17:35 AliceMercer That proprietary thing is a PITA

17:35 AliceMercer Europe is NOT Canada

17:35 sharonp exclusive from Canadian

17:35 JL2 http://www.ustream.tv/channel/where-the-dust-settles

17:35 sharonp s

17:35 SuzieQ one can hack an iphone so that it can be used here in Canada

17:35 JenM Yeah!!! NJ!! :)

17:35 arthus much better answer...

17:35 sharonp yes, have been eyeing them on ebay

17:35 arthus my new phone comes tomorrow :)

17:35 sharonp HEY! I watched that show!

17:35 sharonp I blogged about it even

17:36 sharonp I have a question about online safety ?

17:36 sharonp is it a public or private school??

17:37 sharonp Should we have concerns about pedophiles being able to openly view UStream - please know that I think it is a great idea and followed along.... just throwing the question out there

17:37 davecormier no.

17:38 davecormier by that argument we shouldn't bring kids to the park

17:38 arthus pedophiles need not use ustream... they can just hang out on street or park

17:38 AliceMercer Sharon, if they aren't striping, I think not?

17:38 sharonp I ask because I have been advocating skype in the classroom... and I get this argument thrown at me

17:38 davecormier need to type faster arthus :)

17:38 arthus yup... darn u

17:38 davecormier bwhahahaha

17:38 AliceMercer Sharon, the logic leads to the chador

17:39 davecormier everyone take notes

17:39 davecormier lessons learned!

17:39 AliceMercer Hey, someone might see your daughter, and lust after her, so put her in a sack!

17:39 sharonp I was very impressed with what I saw - on many levels

17:39 sharonp impressed with the students and their ability to answer questions

17:40 AliceMercer Would you recommend having a chat moderator?

17:40 sharonp impressed that you were able to do this with the students

17:40 sharonp my question - did the fact that the students had an audience make a difference to the students? in what ways?

17:40 AliceMercer If you had another adult there as moderator would that help?

17:40 JohnSchinker It's great to see people taking chances and pushing at the edges

17:40 AliceMercer Oh, lots of those on Skype.

17:40 Durff And I thought it was dave...

17:41 davecormier :|

17:41 sharonp was great

17:41 sharonp nice to have pioneers out there ahead of me

17:41 JL2 http://justin.tv/

17:42 sharonp trailblazers.... I raved about it to a whole bunch of prov consultatns later

17:42 AliceMercer Sharon, do you feel like you have the arguments against it?

17:42 sharonp I feel as though I need to anticipate the opposition and arguments

17:42 Durff oh the segues

17:42 AliceMercer How's this looking? http://voicethread.com/#u16410.b20480.i116623

17:42 AliceMercer Sharon, you do...

17:42 sharonp so this is why I throw the questions out here.... to those who are doing it...

17:42 AliceMercer As 14-15-16 yo's are want to do?

17:43 AliceMercer Yeah, you don't teach them, they do stupid stuff.

17:43 AliceMercer Oh, who was a latch key kid?
