session 4
expectation.... how you learned from others and what you brought to them
if we're going to be together.. there needs to be a reason... value of being together in a room
social learning... need to own
start out developing parameters together
Start with deconstructing criteria, exemplars, values.
darn sound went out
question - how many "experts" are there and how can they be so available.
being a teacher and learner at the same time brings authenticity... how could you not?
shared methods:
I record with audacity on laptop then upload to podomatic to embed on blog or use iPadio on cellphone
I use camtaisa and pre-record all of my lessons: no more lecture. class time is used to help kids with content that they are stuck on. @jonbergmann and
here
pre-service teachers need to be taught different ways to think about education. @jon bergman
we have no idea...we have to imagine what we haven't experienced
zbpipe: Jan - I completely agree! It is about authenticy for them, has to be real and meaningful.
openschool : Are you wondering what blogs, wikis, and Web 2.0 have to do with teaching math? This group is a place to connect with other math teachers to share resources, ideas, questions, and feedback about trying new technology tools in math class. wiki via Sue Hellman
if it's more about learning than teaching... we should be ok with not knowing it all.
einstein quote about if you can't explain your theory to a 5 year old...then rethink your theory @snydersensei
snydersensei: educators know it is about the desire to find out...not about what you know mastery vs. fixed ability mindsets!
camera in classroom for pre-service, maybe less instrusive
Camille: I'd like to see teacher candidates skype their lessons
nydersensei: tossing out conjectures and getting familiar with VandeWalle and Fosnot (for math people)
ehvickery: What happens to traditional teachers when learning (not education) is more customized, personalized, when K-12 and higher ed institutions have imploded?
GuyNBernie: Here's a question: where does the "passion" come from. Are you a good teacher if you're passionate about teaching or a good teacher if you're passionate about your subject?
have to be passionate about learning
durff: Madelin Hunter?
SueH: I like Wiggins and Tighe
durff: We all learned her lesson model in college, did we not?

session 5:
no one there
___________
no visual
comment; Is this a general discussion or presentation, too many voices at once
hmmm...i thought it was supposed to be conversation.....
i wish we could quit using the word teach.. and start focusing on learning... together even
kids are free tech
the craziness that follows is a reminder to me - that this is the day i learned to copy the backchannel chat... and just have it as a link.. and not cut and paste the whole time...
don't laugh. just skip to session 6.
too much laughing... it's now linked here if you want to laugh.
___________
no one there - but great resource in his link
____________
____________
can't hear very well
______________________
session 6
left - sound bad
__________
she was the smartest kid in class it turned out. She knew all the answers in backchannel. Helped other kids
shys can speak out, those that can't focus can -or not
What are some other tools besides twitter or Elluminate that would work in a classroom setting?
---------------------
Me: noticed that here
---------------------
Carole McCulloch: META: can offer our thoughts on conversation or presentation by prefacing txt chat with META
---------------------
SueH: depends on the speaker. Natural speech speed is a little fast it you're listening online
Me: cell and polleverywhere
hadleyjf: edmodo
Patti R: etherpad? how many can that accomodate?
Tom Krawczewicz: I mean discourage listening to others
BethAdamczyk: chatzy and backnoise
Carole McCulloch: Disruptive learning - is an easy process for Gen Y students - happy with multi tasking
META: actually back channelling requires you to LISTEN harder in order to make constructive comments
shift tasking
save the chats
Scott S: @hadleyjf I have found that to be the case in my classroom with the quiet shy kids
in college - class of 300 - backchannel is a way for more participants
use of backchannel when several groups are watching video at same time
synchtube
New classroom jobs - camera person, backchannel moderator, blog poster, etc.
That's why I like Cover It Live...a direct message can go to the bad behavior participant, and you can see in RED on the student computers who is misbehaving
back channels should become participatory notes for cllass
www.udel.edu/ats/wfi10
invite parents to join
I like the concept of the Google jockey, had not heard of that term before.
vScott S: By the way, this doesn't have to be a 1 to 1 ussue either. I've seen two kids share a computer successfully in a backchannel
with phone - cover it live
if backchanneling is a group based summary /overview with built in expansion/research to follow then i think you have more control
backchannel offers something to kids who have to be doing something else to pay attention
use wave to backchannel
democratization of the classroom
mrsdurff: I will have 7th graders use Edmodo to form groups with another school - that backchannel will be available to them till the end of schoolyear
edtechtalk
rudder-directs, anchor-drives, jockey of google jockey - url finder
united discovery streaming
Carole McCulloch: META: knowing the purpose of the back channelling prior to a conference for example, would he helpful - same for a live session - explain why and how then the back channel becomes an excellent reflection by all participcants
arole McCulloch: Use CoverItLive and place the panel inside the wiki or ning that they use
Carole McCulloch: Set up a #hashtag and encourage the use of Tweets to feed into the back channel, elect an anchor, rudder and jockey
---------------------
Cliff Thompson: Backchanneling while showing a video is my "take away" from this session.
need to check out coveritlive
do you archive your backchannel..
@cmcculloch - ask how she organizes the saving of her chat archives..
