Live blogging for 2nd Session at EBC08. Facilitated discussion with Steve Hargadon hosting and Pearson Learning waving their boom microphones around.
-elgg is a possibilty open source program
- walled garden vs. not, what are the benefits of each?
- @coolcatteacher – do no start out on open space, teach them in safe space first then move towards public forums when they get etiquette down.
- a lot of people running cover it live, tried to get but FF3 isn’t compatible it seems, budtheteacher told me try it anyway but out of time for this session.
- How much social web about pedagogical model or creating global citizenship? Both, but more about education benefit for me since trying to get at-risk kids through hs
- using summize.com to follow even more twitterers who I dont normally follow
- students self-regulating in one example, 300 posts but 3000 comments in a blog project one ran on Ning network and kids self-regulated
- kids that never talked f2f, was one of smartest kids in class and only did teacher find that out when they got a chat forum going
-look up fishbowl w/ live blogging
- backchannel in classroom is not threatening for f2f
- places to mentor, to teach etiquette cuz have grown up in Wild Wild West @kevinhoneycutt
- kids mentoring kids,
- why are we zero tolerant with digital when not in analog, kids get in a fight at recess would we close recess.
- think of everything as learning opportunity
- kids learning how to use these tools in personal lives while teachers learned in professional lives @khokanson says. Rings true, so we need to use these to teach professional behavior.
-Hate my method of liveblogging, need to write next session up a littel different.
