Learning to use Podcasting and Vodcasting for Teaching and Learning

July 7, 2008 |  Tagged , , | 2 Comments

Course Number: EPC 511
July 7-11, 2008 (8:30 AM - 4:30 PM)
USM Gorham Campus
Class Wiki

    Teachers will explore the use of audio and video tools that support student learning, collaboration, and communication that extend beyond classroom walls. Audio and video content can be accessed online, created by individuals or groups and used for collaborative conversations. The first step of the course is acquiring and organizing existing content available from online. Next, is learning to use podcasting tools to create content. Participants can then expand from podcasting to screencasting and video to make use of the distributed, collaborative potential of these tools. The ability to easily publish content online will encourage teachers to rethink the way they communicate with students, and the way curriculum is delivered. Educators will become knowledgeable about 21st Century Literacy skills as they fit into the classroom.

    Participate in the free K12 Online Conference
    I am very excited to be part of the team keynoting the “Getting Started” strand at the K-12 Online Conference this year. It is such an honor to be part of this terrific line up. If you haven’t ever taken part, this is a great opportunity to take part in professional development that is timely and appropriate for your classroom. It is structured so that you can take the sessions whenever you want.

    And, if you are thinking of proposing a session, you still have time. The due date is July 11th.

    I hope to see you online at the sessions!

    04:38 MrChase : We ustreamed our school play at SLA.
    04:38 shareski : Tim Lauer…how’s Portland?
    04:38 colettecairns : does ustream record?
    04:38 justinreeve : Does the chat room get included with that, edueyeview?
    04:38 karlfisch : yes, it archives
    04:38 colettecairns : ahhh there is the answer
    04:38 budtheteacher : I messed justin up - promised him a recording - and didn’t hit record
    04:38 colettecairns : How do you record
    04:38 karlfisch : no, chat room does not - have to manually copy
    04:38 JLWagner : I love when Tech doesn’t work just the way you want — but you keep going strong :)
    04:38 mrsdurff : you’tr NOT recording?
    04:39 skydaddy : bud, he hasb’t missed all that much so far
    04:39 mrsdurff : Oi Veh
    04:39 edueyeview : Come on Bud! Make sure someone is hitting the archive button
    04:39 JackieB : You’re kidding, right Bud? It’s recorded. Right?
    04:39 justinreeve : haha, it’s no problem. Sounds like something I’d do.
    04:39 justinreeve : Bud isn’t talking about this presentation
    04:39 loonyhiker : missed the guys in the front row tho :)
    04:39 bcrosby : I wonder if Skype would work better for what he is dmoing?
    04:39 skydaddy : JLW - that’s why youi bring a hand puppet!
    04:39 gefahey : a bit of lag, but looks good
    04:39 EdTechVision : major lag on my end
    04:39 brianmullnl : straming smoothly on my end
    04:39 BarbNebraska : @bcrosby, does Skype record tho?
    04:39 mrsdurff : the thought of him not recording is not funny
    04:39 jsommermeyer-1 : smooth here as welll…
    04:39 karlfisch : yes, skype would be better for just two, I think
    04:39 JLWagner : @skydaddy — I read about a session at NECC with puppets — sounded interesting
    04:39 WOScholar : John Maklary has the best blog ever, or so he paid me to say: http://learning20.blogspot.com/
    04:40 bcrosby : You can record it … doesn’t do it by itself.
    04:40 brianmullnl : As far as Skype, depends on the purpose. can’t broadcast Skype
    04:40 edueyeview : What, again with the promo Scott?
    04:40 mrsdurff : how much did he pay you?
    04:40 JLWagner : WOS — how much did you just get paid for that promo??

    04:40 JLWagner : Raising hand
    04:40 jsommermeyer-1 : ME
    04:40 mrsdurff : you have to select record
    04:40 cleisure : *raises hand
    04:40 karlfisch : kristin hokanson is the expert on that
    04:40 justinreeve : and how do I get paid for promoting blogs?
    04:40 brianmullnl : yes
    04:40 BarbNebraska : FailWhale!
    04:40 christopherbell : lol about the twitter being down
    04:40 christianlong : I have choice to make: Remain in ‘room’ to here rest of prezo or go get my kid at daycare. No WiFi in car. Clash of culture decision coming my way!
    04:40 skydaddy : I’ve got a cheap webcam from W-M. $25 I think
    04:40 mstina : what, is he kidding????
    04:40 mrsdurff : yes Jen?
    04:40 edueyeview : Yes, you need camtwist or something to use an external camera on a mac or ustream crashes.
    04:40 christopherbell : failwhale has been showing up a lot today
    04:40 lorips : because he said that…. now it will crash
    04:41 bcrosby : Can’t broacast … but for doing what he is showing … bringing one person in … it is less wonky.
    04:41 jsommermeyer-1 : twitter was broken most of the day… on and off

    04:43 shirley8153 : met ewan in greenville last week–thanks for the tweet!
    04:43 mrsdurff : you did karl
    04:43 MrChase : Why haven’t these “tools” broken in to pop culture?
    04:43 christianlong : Did Tim just move?
    04:43 budtheteacher : @brian - yep
    04:43 JLWagner : Did I say just how nice it is to be here with ALL of you!!
    04:43 colemama : tools v. pedagogy….uhmmm - maybe it’s a little of both! :P
    04:43 mrsdurff : hi mrchase
    04:43 justinreeve : hey JLWagner! Great to have you here, too!
    04:43 MrChase : Hey Durff.
    04:43 EdTechVision : don’t know why NECC was concerned about streaming - those of us who are virtual can barely get any stream
    04:43 karlfisch : mogulus.com
    04:43 budtheteacher : @mrchase - they have
    04:43 jsommermeyer-1 : are we going to have to move?
    04:43 BarbNebraska : @MrChase, look at the front page of UStream
    04:43 justinreeve : wish I could be at NECC, though this is really the next best thing
    04:43 skydaddy : MrChase - UStream is only 1 yr old. YouTube still isn;t well-known outside us and our kids.
    04:44 mrsdurff : but with mogulus you can’t password protect
    04:44 JackieB : Hi John!
    04:44 mstina : @JLWagner did you see the SL video of you and the band?
    04:44 christianlong : Quick. someone tell Tim Lauer to wave. I think it’s only a statue sitting in for him.
    04:44 budtheteacher : no - they have - artists are doing sessions talking about prducts, tours,etc
    04:44 briancsmith : @ijohn Looming large my man.
    04:44 MrChase : But that’s not pop culture, that’s cult culture.
    04:44 JLWagner : @mstina - -not yet
    04:44 JLWagner : IT IS JOHN
    04:44 JLWagner : yeah!!!!
    04:44 skydaddy : Yup, it’ll take a while to hit pop culture.
    04:44 christopherbell : i’m really hoping these tools will force elluminate to significantly decrease their costs
    04:44 mstina : What is his blogsite?
    04:45 JLWagner : getting ready to laugh with JOHN
    04:45 justinreeve : I hear that Ustream is starting to be blocked by school filters
    04:45 cleisure : Hi john!
    04:45 lorips : :)
    04:45 mstina : Hey John!
    04:45 christianlong : Ah, at least John P waves. Tim L must be frozen.
    04:45 BarbNebraska : My school blocks the chat
    04:45 lisibo : that was a cheesy wave ;o)
    04:45 briancsmith : that’s sweet video
    04:45 mstina : It is blocked at my school. My network admin showed me <censored> on it. :(
    04:45 mkforbus : Hey ijohn!
    04:45 JLWagner : can John speak???
    04:45 budtheteacher : @mr. chase - who’s defining pop?
    04:45 mrsdurff : i think not
    04:45 karlfisch : @BarbNebraska - chat is wonky - not blocked by firewall, but sometimes doesn’t get through
    04:45 justinreeve : that’s unfortunate
    04:45 karlfisch : *our* firewall
    04:46 jsommermeyer-1 : @justinreeve wonder if filtering will ever be part of the school shopping routine… How strict are your filters?
    04:46 mrsdurff : it’s their bandwidth i believe
    04:46 cyndidannerkuhn : anybod have link to Will’s Mogulus?
    04:46 JLWagner : YES
    04:46 justinreeve : what I would LIKE to do is set up our own in-house streaming video service
    04:46 mrsdurff : Dr. Danner-Kuhn!
    04:46 cyndidannerkuhn : yup
    04:46 mstina : @justinreeve - ME too!
    04:46 JLWagner : http://edstreamtv.wikispaces.com/
    04:46 jaten : Hi everyone. This is pretty amazing!
    04:46 justinreeve : there’s a couple free/open source servers I’ve been looking at. Icecast (www.icecast.org) is one option, though I haven’t been impressed with the clients that work with it.
    04:46 mrsdurff : thanks Jen
    04:46 JLWagner : welcome
    04:46 danfroelich : chat took forever to get in, glad to be here.

    04:47 lorips : Wish there was a filtered version so it would not be blocked in school - awesome tool
    04:47 mrsdurff : veni, vidid, vici
    04:47 mrsdurff : opps sort of
    04:47 JLWagner : yes — thank you Edueyeview — i just grabbed the full Link to all of them

    04:47 loonyhiker : is he pickin on canadians? lol

    04:47 VirtualTeacher : Who are the Canadian Bloggers? Another Canadian is curious
    04:47 MrChase : Pop culture being of more mass consumption nature.
    04:47 lorips : @skydaddy YES!!
    04:47 budtheteacher : @mrchase - they’re using these tools
    04:47 karlfisch : @virtualteacher clarence fisher

    04:49 christopherbell : jakes
    04:49 kcaise-2 : what is operator11.com?

    04:49 skydaddy : does he need an introduction?
    04:49 ewanmcintosh : Can karlfisch put his hand up quickly so that I can see who he is?
    04:49 mstina : Will this be available for later viewing?
    04:49 colemama : who is going to put him ‘under the bus’ for @Shareski?

    04:50 colemama : @JLWagner I forget what @Shareski is planning to pay…
    04:50 skydaddy : it’s all about the affordances and constraints
    04:50 JLWagner : hmmmm I have some stories
    04:50 ewanmcintosh : Not the most flattering angle for jakes
    04:50 cyndidannerkuhn : what’s David’s new job?

    04:51 WOScholar : @cyndidannerkuhn he is taking the south campus where Ryan Bretag is at.
    04:51 MrChase : @brachsmith gotta love those factory stores.
    04:51 edueyeview : Can we see the screen, please?
    04:51 JLWagner : @cyndi — working with Ryan B — each on a separate campus??
    04:51 Jackson224 : possible to adjust camera for screen that you are viewing?
    04:51 colemama : @JLWagner looking back at the chat history & only paying off with a free drink - might be worth holding on for future opportunity!
    04:51 mrsdurff : MST portal?
    04:51 greatnews : The camera is running itself :-)
    04:51 BarbWesterman : Hi Lisa
    04:51 brachsmith : @mrchase You know it…rarely ever go actually
    04:51 kgreen5 : @markwagner - don’t think I can get to your session … still at home!
    04:51 WOScholar : can we get the camera to my rib smoking buddies on the front row?
    04:51 BarbWesterman : Hope you are watching
    04:51 MrChase : No one does. I’m from Springfield originally.
    04:51 JLWagner : a free drink to throw him under the bus?? Hmmm — not worth it. I don’t drink :)
    04:51 briancsmith : www.mstportal.com
    04:51 mguerena : Watching the session at the CUE get together on the Smartboard.
    04:51 ChrisLehmann : Woo hoo! Finally connected to the chat!
    04:52 jsommermeyer-1 : THANKS BRIAN!
    04:52 teach42 : Curious how many people in the backchannel are in the room here.
    04:52 danfroelich : welcome chrisL
    04:52 loonyhiker : @chrislehmann glad u made it! :)
    04:52 mstina : Hey Chris!
    04:52 WOScholar : might be the reason the stream is hiccupping
    04:52 timstahmer : hi chris
    04:52 BarbWesterman : Yoohoo are you there
    04:52 Luke1946 : not me steve, I’m at home
    04:52 MrChase : Nothing.
    04:52 skydaddy : teach42 - 108 here
    04:52 ChrisLehmann : Hey Tim.
    04:52 mstina : @teach42 I think 96
    04:52 cleisure : not me…wish I was!
    04:52 mrsdurff : chrislehman in the chat room?
    04:52 christianlong : perhaps the UStream team can shift the laptop vid to grab what David is pointing to on screen?
    04:52 mkforbus : In the room.
    04:52 misterabrams : DJAKES…can we see the screen?
    04:52 justinreeve : could someone in the room move the laptop?
    04:52 markwagner : I’m upstairs. Level 3. Global Connections cafe, which by the way might be a good location for a satelite Bloggers Cafe tomorrow. :)
    04:52 lisibo : nor am I - far far away!!
    04:52 christianlong : Although Jakes right hand is adorable.
    04:52 JLWagner : yes, we enjoy seeing DJ — but we would LIKE to see the screen
    04:52 briancsmith : Any other examples out there from the chatroom?
    04:53 ChrisLehmann : Christian — he does have a cute right hand.
    04:53 justinreeve : even if it takes someone in the room to speak up, perhaps? :)
    04:53 loonyhiker : and the way the cam is, we get to look up his nose lol
    04:53 WOScholar : @christianlong Still see the BBQ sauce under the nails?
    04:53 karlfisch : finally got the chat back did I miss anything?
    04:53 greatnews : Will to the rescue-just a min
    04:53 christianlong : Wait, this is like a podcast, since you can’t see what he’s referring to.
    04:53 JLWagner : howling — someone grab a screen shot of his hand
    04:53 mrsdurff : @mark lesws crowded?
    04:53 misterabrams : ty
    04:53 mstina : Yay!

    04:53 danfroelich : @willrich45-1 thanks!
    04:53 brianmullnl : My son did one with me on webkinz - a tutorial
    04:53 teach42 : You talk, Will responds.
    04:53 mstina : Fellow Oklahoman Wes Fryer
    04:53 loonyhiker : thank u
    04:53 brianmullnl : http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/364482
    04:53 lorips : ty
    04:53 teach42 : He’s good like that.
    04:53 Jackson224 : thanks…better
    04:53 edueyeview : Much better - thanks!
    04:53 justinreeve : yeah we pwn this conference
    04:53 markwagner : @mrsdurff way less crowded… out of the way really, but tables, comfy chairs, power… less users on the wifi.
    04:53 danfroelich : pwn indeed
    04:53 JLWagner : hmmm — what else can we get WILL to do
    04:53 BarbNebraska : I saw Wes Ustream at the Air and Space museum with his sin
    04:53 skydaddy : justin - but they have the ribs
    04:53 BarbNebraska : *Son*
    04:53 ijohnpederson : (searches for a bus to throw my friend @djakes under)
    04:53 mstina : Jen, are you in control AGAIN?
    04:53 BarbWesterman : Hi Lisa
    04:53 justinreeve : now someone fetch me a burger
    04:54 ChrisLehmann : :)
    04:54 skydaddy : Barb - saw that one too
    04:54 JLWagner : @mstina — 1,300 miles away — YEP
    04:54 greatnews : Poor guy! He’s having to stand there and hold it-no tripod! That’s dedication and service!
    04:54 loonyhiker : like us
    04:54 BarbNebraska : @skydaddy, they had fun!
    04:54 mrsdurff : ducon!! the way a conference SHOULD be run
    04:54 briancsmith : @ijohnpederson, there’s a few out in front of the conference
    04:54 timstahmer : love the camera people at Educon!
    04:54 edueyeview : Me too - they were great
    04:54 BarbWesterman : Lisa you are a legend
    04:54 csessums : I <3 show not tell!
    04:54 JLWagner : @ijohnpederson — dont’ you have some photos you could share ???
    04:54 christianlong : Wondering: If someone is recording this chat/UStream audio, do I have to sign a release?
    04:54 cyndidannerkuhn : Wow, can’t wait to show this to my pre-service teachers class!
    04:54 ijohnpederson : i miss not being there f2f
    04:55 teach42 : Will Richardson, human tripod.
    04:55 edueyeview : I watched the play on ustream.
    04:55 JLWagner : actually we do have good seats here, iJohn
    04:55 karlfisch : http://karlfisch.wikispaces.com/AWNMLiveBlogging
    04:55 markwagner : We’re watching this on a big screen in the Global Connections Cafe, too. This is a good location.
    04:55 csessums : I’m with you @ijohn
    04:55 cleisure : Thanks, Will!
    04:55 briancsmith : LOL @teach42
    04:55 loonyhiker : nice belt
    04:55 mrsdurff : @Dr. Danner-Kuhn they will love it
    04:55 skydaddy : are the URLS of the examples listed anywhere?
    04:55 ChrisLehmann : edueye — did you enjoy it?
    04:55 mstina : @markwagner, thanks for the warning!…
    04:55 danfroelich : way to go - cyndida - get this to the pre-service teachers.
    04:55 ChrisLehmann : http://www.ustream.tv/channel/science-leadership-tv
    04:55 skydaddy : need to be ale to sho good examples
    04:55 skydaddy : able to show…
    04:55 markwagner : BTW, iJohn, I nominate you as the most missed blogger.
    04:55 WOScholar : @christianlong - Good one. I gave the Scantron lady her pencil back and walked away when she proudly announced they merged with Pearson.
    04:55 JLWagner : clapping
    04:55 Luke1946 : any other ICE members here?
    04:55 ChrisLehmann : http://www.scienceleadership.org/challen/practical-theory-tv
    04:55 JLWagner : ooohhh thought he was winding down
    04:55 csessums : is that you on the cam @lehmann?
    04:55 mrsdurff : i did and enjoyed it too
    04:55 edueyeview : I did - I’ve done tech for our plays for one act competitions
    04:55 JLWagner : clapping
    04:55 edueyeview : I was impressed
    04:55 Jackson224 : thank you
    04:55 loonyhiker : educon in philly was my first experience w/ all this and it got me hooked
    04:55 BarbWesterman : I have to get ready for work, what an experience this is
    04:55 JLWagner : OHHHHHHH EWAN!!
    04:55 teach42 : FYI, when I go to present, please keep in mind that the camera adds 10-20 pounds, uStream adds another 10 pounds and eating meals in San Antonio adds another 15
    04:55 misterabrams : thanks Jakes!
    04:55 cyndidannerkuhn : I hope, just accepted a position at Kansas State University so moving in Aug..
    04:56 loonyhiker : awww man, i love his accent
    04:56 christianlong : Shadow puppets!
    04:56 lisibo : ooh - here comes Mr McIntosh :o0
    04:56 Jackson224 : lost Ewan’s image
    04:56 mrsdurff : it’s a ewan - watch your mics!
    04:56 christianlong : Make a rabbit!
    04:56 ijohnpederson : @teach42
    04:56 JLWagner : @Teach42 — we love you no matter what
    04:56 ijohnpederson : lolx
    04:56 BarbNebraska : Who’s this?
    04:56 markwagner : Chris Lehmann talking with his students (in October or so) is one of my favorite ustream examples… didn’t think of it when djakes asked.
    04:56 karlfisch : http://colearning.wikispaces.com/
    04:56 ChrisLehmann : @csessus nope. Wasn’t me. Was Anissa Weinraub, our special ed teacher and director of the play.
    04:56 WOScholar : What did he say?
    04:56 WOScholar : xploooooore?
    04:56 mrsdurff : @mark yes i like that one too
    04:56 Jackson224 : weblink?
    04:56 danfroelich : wonderful ad on youtube -
    04:56 justinreeve : www.yeardot.co.uk
    04:56 lisibo : Yeardot?
    04:57 WOScholar : He told me last night he had Tude.
    04:57 WOScholar : Tude with a burr is pretty funny.
    04:57 lisibo : oh- off to investigate!!
    04:57 ChrisLehmann : Mark — was that when we had a bunch of folks asking our kids question?
    04:57 ChrisLehmann : (s)
    04:57 JLWagner : I hope to someday meet Ewan F2F
    04:57 MrChase : Yup.
    04:57 ChrisLehmann : (and thanks!)
    04:57 jsommermeyer-1 : who is this speaking?
    04:57 csessums : can you imagine Ewan after 3 or 4 pints!
    04:57 edueyeview : @JL you and me both
    04:57 Luke1946 : wish all this web 2.0 stuff had been around before I retired
    04:57 lisibo : it’s funny!!
    04:57 lisibo : ewan after a few pints
    04:57 BarbWesterman : I am definately going now
    04:57 ijohnpederson : @jsommermyer-1 Ewan McIntosh
    04:57 WOScholar : @JLWagner I got to last night. Enjoyed it. The chicks flock to him and Utecht.
    04:57 loonyhiker : @jlwagner met ewan and david jakes last week at utc. they both were wonderful
    04:57 markwagner : @chrislehmann Yeah… the day you barged in on a class with white lab coats on. Awesome.
    04:57 justinreeve : you can still substitute teach, Luke :)
    04:57 JLWagner : wan Mcintosh
    04:58 misterabrams : is this choppy for anyone else?
    04:58 lisibo : esp when mixed with Bulgarian gutrot ;o)
    04:58 JLWagner : my E is not typing
    04:58 markwagner : I loved how they were all for it until you mentioned their parents could see it. :)
    04:58 JLWagner : wan Mcintosch
    04:58 jsommermeyer-1 : @ijohn thanks @JLWagner too
    04:58 bcrosby : Very choppy!!!
    04:58 Luke1946 : I do, but they limit my online access
    04:58 mrsdurff : mine has problems too jen
    04:58 markwagner : @misterabrams choppy here.
    04:58 ChrisLehmann : @markwagner that was Marcie’s class. :)
    04:58 justinreeve : at least the audio is good
    04:58 BarbWesterman : I am still going
    04:58 markwagner : @bcrosby where r u?
    04:58 misterabrams : thanks bcrosby, thought it wa sjust me
    04:58 BarbNebraska : Have to go make dinner. Bye!
    04:58 bcrosby : Cafe on my wireless card
    04:58 justinreeve : This gives me an idea. Classrooms could host and stream their own reality shows.
    04:58 markwagner : @chrislehmann That’s fun to know - didn’t realize it at the time.
    04:58 ChrisLehmann : :)
    04:58 shareski : We need to make distinctions between live and flip type video and edit and produced video…they are not the same but many lump them together and call it all video
    04:58 teach42 : One other FYI. When I’m talking about cell phones, the two live streams I’ll be showing can be found at teach42.com/qik-test and cometnow.com
    04:58 justinreeve : Then students could be in charge of the production.
    04:58 Luke1946 : district I sub for blocks many web 2.0 sites
    04:59 edueyeview : I agree - there are uses for highly refined, and others for just basic recording
    04:59 JLWagner : @loonyhiker — already a fan of DJ, but I think I could listen to EM 4-EVER!!!
    04:59 WOScholar : @justinreeve We stream all of the awards and events on our elementary stage multiple times every week.
    04:59 shareski : Stager hammers away at this all the time
    04:59 mstina : @bcrosby went to hotel to take nap, but couldn’t “stay” away.
    04:59 mrsdurff : those students are learning loads
    04:59 skydaddy : dean - quite right
    04:59 danfroelich : @shareski - I’m your neighbor to you right….nice to ‘meet’
    04:59 jsommermeyer-1 : @karlfisch maybe shure and logitech will team up to do this for schools so you could stream classroom leactures :)
    04:59 loonyhiker : i think the chat is deep and meaningful to me :)
    04:59 csessums : no lightbulb moments?
    04:59 JackieB : The chat is not meaningful?
    04:59 skydaddy : *snif*
    04:59 teach42 : @dan and @shareski seem to be having a moment
    04:59 mrsdurff : backchannel
    04:59 justinreeve : that’s wonderful, WOScholar. That’s a good use of the technology.
    04:59 BarbWesterman : Still going
    04:59 shareski : Ken Robinson
    04:59 karlfisch : @jsommermeyer-1 Funny
    04:59 justinreeve : what about streaming sporting events and so on?
    04:59 skydaddy : Mentos and Diet Coke?
    04:59 WOScholar : Parents appreciate it
    04:59 jsommermeyer-1 : is anyone using this to stream classes?
    05:00 WOScholar : and admin
    05:00 BarbWesterman : Bye
    05:00 edueyeview : I streamed classes to a kid who was stuck at home with a broken leg
    05:00 DavidJakes : OK everyone, please give us a couple of questions
    05:00 jsommermeyer-1 : @justinreeve that’d be cool
    05:00 colemama : agree that reflection is important, but love the learning in live chat, too!
    05:00 Luke1946 : gonna have to re-work the way I do some of my conference sessions
    05:00 WOScholar : We used DimDim to stream classes to homebound students.
    05:00 shareski : Quality counts but this kind of stuff matters too we just have to make distinctions
    05:00 RuFu : new to ustream. is this stream live???
    05:00 bcrosby : If the broadcast is choppy like this will the archive be choppy too?
    05:00 misterabrams : i would think that having some kids online might have some privacy issues
    05:00 karlfisch : @shareski agreed
    05:00 Jackson224 : Each of these tools has advantages–depending on purpose
    05:00 justinreeve : I think teachers should use streaming video more often, and I think we’ll see more of that. Imagine being a parent and being able to watch your kids give their in-class presentations.
    05:00 JLWagner : hmmmm what should we ask??
    05:00 brianmullnl : yes rufu
    05:00 christianlong : All previous playfulness aside, this is hugely impressive. BTW, kudos to Ewan (however you say that in Scottish) for reminding us that “it takes time” to do it well (editing, storyboarding, etc). Often we lose site of the “talent” side when we see new tool!
    05:00 mrsdurff : @RuFu yes
    05:00 justinreeve : yeah, Dimdim is a great tool for that.
    05:00 skydaddy : YouTube has lowered expectations of production values - crudulated image is acceptable
    05:00 jsommermeyer-1 : @justinreeve you’d be hard pressed to get rights to do concerts or plays or other things with “rights”
    05:01 colemama : @christianlong - so right!
    05:01 mrsdurff : wan can be cogent?
    05:01 budtheteacher : So would teachers be okay if students came into class and streamed their classes home to mom or dad?
    05:01 justinreeve : though Dimdim is more like Webex, geared for presentations with a computer, and just a small webcam
    05:01 edueyeview : Crudulated? I love it
    05:01 lisibo : I agree with Ewan on that point
    05:01 shareski : @skydaddy but I wonder if Youtube will evolve…let’s keep in mind how new this stuff is
    05:01 skydaddy : technical term from the early days of digital vid
    05:01 karlfisch : @bud some, but not many
    05:01 WOScholar : @jsommermeyer Our staff writes our own stuff. Lucky I guess. We have not had any published work pop up yet.
    05:01 Luke1946 : or <censored>
    05:01 karlfisch : not yet
    05:01 justinreeve : OpenMeetings is another: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/
    05:01 karlfisch : @bud permissions would be a huge problem
    05:01 JLWagner : what peripherals would a teacher need to do this?? How many cameras did you use last night for the RibFest — we had two views?? What camera would you suggest
    05:01 MrChase : We’ve used the vid function of iChat to catch up kids who are home sick.
    05:01 lisibo : so many kids in Uk watch stuff on iPlayer or Skyplus things
    05:01 jsommermeyer-1 : @WOScholar wow…
    05:01 JLWagner : a USB camera???
    05:01 skydaddy : I use a cheap $20 webcam
    05:01 mhrn : How do we tackle the copyright issue, i.e sites like this wanting ownership of content. What if authors want to retain it creative commons style?
    05:02 justinreeve : I think you also have to consider, some teachers don’t WANT others seeing how they run their classrooms
    05:02 JLWagner : is Cam whatever PC and MAC??
    05:02 skydaddy : mhrn - BIG issue
    05:02 budtheteacher : @karlfisch - permissions are a problem - but I wonder about how realistic getting permission will be when everyone always has a camera.
    05:02 misterabrams : our teacher contract prohibits teachers being recorded
    05:02 MrChase : camtwist, yes
    05:02 christianlong : I really want my students to UStream various debates throughout a month-long read of great texts, and allow each to ‘research’ the other classes’ discussions, et al. But ultimately, can we evaulate the impact in real terms if we do all this in our classrooms ‘tomorrow’?
    05:02 karlfisch : camtwist is mac only, I think
    05:02 lisibo : @justinreeve - very true
    05:02 budtheteacher : and why would a child need permissionto show their class content to their teacher?
    05:02 JLWagner : smiles — see I am asking ??? and getting answers!! :)
    05:02 jsommermeyer-1 : @justinreeve because the only observations they get is once or twice a year… admins need to be in every room… every day…
    05:02 budtheteacher : I think that’ll freak a lot of teachers out
    05:02 karlfisch : I’m thinking permissions from every single kid in the room
    05:02 karlfisch : their parents
    05:02 JLWagner : can you ustream a ustream
    05:02 justinreeve : I can understand that, misterabrams, though I’d propose that might be an outdated contract
    05:02 teach42 : SplitCam is the same thing as CamTwist for the PC.
    05:03 WOScholar : @JLWagner Mine came from my MacBook Pro. Utecht used the Logictech cams. 9000 series I think. We use them and get them from CDWG for about 90 bucks each. Killer video and audio quality.
    05:03 karlfisch : We had to do that with our Pink ustream
    05:03 lisibo : @karlfisch - that’d be a nightmare
    05:03 bcrosby : I get permission from every student every year.
    05:03 JLWagner : those are some questions to ask — and we have provided the answers too
    05:03 budtheteacher : @misterabrams: That’s a weird requirement.
    05:03 karlfisch : Kids who forgot had to sit off camera
    05:03 Luke1946 : too many teachers aren’t past the email stage yet…this would overwhelm them
    05:03 christianlong : @karlfish: Yes, “permissions” is 1/2 of equation.”Talent” and “vision” is the other, along with “story”.
    05:03 cnelson : not that diff
    05:03 misterabrams : justinreeve-that is just the beginning of issues, we don;t even have web space for our teachers
    05:03 justinreeve : yeah it would freak them out, and we don’t want them to think admins are constantly watching them, because that’s not what this is about
    05:03 colemama : re: permissions - can we cover with broad overall web 2.0 permission slip?
    05:03 misst2 : How close do you need to be to the camera to get good audio?
    05:03 greatnews : Is Camtasia for PC the same as CamTwist for Mac?
    05:03 karlfisch : alisa miller TEd Talk
    05:03 danfroelich : You would definitely need to get permission
    05:03 JLWagner : can you skype with a ustream or the mogalus program??
    05:03 skydaddy : saw that TED talk -potent
    05:04 cleisure : what camera is being used for this?
    05:04 christianlong : What is link to that TED talk?
    05:04 brianmullnl : camtasia and camtwist are totally different
    05:04 karlfisch : no camtasia not the same
    05:04 WOScholar : @misterabrams Have y’all considered Google Sites?
    05:04 jsommermeyer-1 : @justinreeve get a copy of the 3 minute classroom walkthrough good stuff…
    05:04 skydaddy : JLW - it’ll probalby smoke yout CPU
    05:04 budtheteacher : @karl - do we get permission from all of the kids whenever a parent stops by?
    05:04 justinreeve : I’ll check it out
    05:04 jsommermeyer-1 : which TED talk robinson?
    05:04 christianlong : Great for lesson on ‘POV’ in English class.
    05:04 mstina : @justinreeve My brother was a deputy sherrif and they were on camera all the time. He said “If you’re doing the right thing, it doesn’t bother you.”
    05:04 colettecairns-1 : I haven’t used google sites ….
    05:04 christianlong : No, the MAP talk @ TED
    05:04 colettecairns-1 : is it easy to use?
    05:04 karlfisch : ted talk february 2007 news map - google it
    05:04 teach42 : That is a fantastic point. Wow.
    05:04 justinreeve : I think permission statements should be included in teachers’ disclosure statements
    05:04 skydaddy : mstina - yup
    05:04 rowall : that news map is eye opening
    05:04 danfroelich : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ly7Btx0Stg
    05:04 misterabrams : yet, I cannot require teachers to create a webpage without compensating them, I just set up a Ning site to ge tthems tarted
    05:04 shareski : fun is good
    05:04 shareski : fun works
    05:04 christianlong : Thx @danfroelich!
    05:04 justinreeve : sites.google.com is a great way to make a simple web page, colette, yes
    05:04 JackieB : http://blog.ted.com/2008/05/alisa_miller.php
    05:04 JLWagner : does USTREAM have a requirement on how many videos you can host?? where else can you host videos?? for free
    05:04 justinreeve : you can even install it on your own domain
    05:05 budtheteacher : @jlwagner: Archive.org
    05:05 Luke1946 : many districts filter out ning
    05:05 csessums : Is he conflating technology with skills?
    05:05 WOScholar : @misst2 - With Logictech we are about 15-20 feet with decent volume speaker and it is VERY clear.
    05:05 budtheteacher : Ourmedia
    05:05 cleisure : Steve!
    05:05 WOScholar : @greatnews - Nope
    05:05 lisibo : Ning is blocked in many authorities in the UK
    05:05 Jackson224 : thanks Ewan
    05:05 WOScholar : Camtasia is screencasting software
    05:05 lisibo : managed to get selected ones unblocked
    05:05 mstina : Is there a way to go back and see the history on the web log?
    05:05 skydaddy : csessums - excellent point - remember the early days of desktop publishing?
    05:05 ewanmcintosh : Was that crappy?
    05:05 ewanmcintosh : Hard to know
    05:05 lisibo : Go Ewan!!!
    05:05 JLWagner : NOPE!!
    05:05 budtheteacher : @ewan -
    05:05 misterabrams : luckly, mine does not, I am behind the times but light years ahead of others in my district
    05:05 cleisure : no!
    05:05 JLWagner : thanks!!!
    05:05 budtheteacher : well done
    05:05 edueyeview : That was great.
    05:05 lorips : No - it was great!!!!!
    05:05 shareski : @mstina….someone has to copy and paste it somewhere
    05:05 misst2 : @woscholar thank you
    05:05 karlfisch : good ewan, very good
    05:05 lisibo : Not in the least <censored> ;o)
    05:05 skydaddy : well done Ewan!
    05:05 lorips : Thanks!
    05:05 Jackson224 : well said
    05:05 derrallg-1 : nice change of perspective Ewan
    05:05 MrChase : No <censored>.
    05:05 timstahmer : not crappy! Great comments
    05:05 budtheteacher : I appreciare yourthoughtfulness, Ewan.
    05:05 ijohnpederson : @ewan nice “social object” reference
    05:05 coachnorm : it was great @ewan
    05:05 JackieB : No @ewan it was not!
    05:05 algona81 : I am really advocating Google Sites with our teachers…very easy way to create a Web site without becoming a Web site designer.
    05:05 RuFu : how is ustream and mogilus different from youtube?
    05:06 budtheteacher : @rufu -
    05:06 jsommermeyer-1 : who is this?
    05:06 budtheteacher : Youtube’s only broadcast
    05:06 misterabrams : algona81 — great idea
    05:06 misst2 : I have been wanting to buy a camera for school. Will check out logitech
    05:06 colettecairns-1 : is google sites like a wiki
    05:06 justinreeve : youtube doesn’t allow live streaming
    05:06 danfroelich : Great @ewan way to talk to N. America about Global perspecitve.
    05:06 Luke1946 : ustream is live
    05:06 danfroelich : logitech rox
    05:06 ewanmcintosh : @RuFu YouTube keeps video there and you respond - the person who made it cannot change their mind
    05:06 colettecairns-1 : can edit, etc?
    05:06 bcrosby : Youtube isn’t live!
    05:06 JLWagner : can someone spell the site Steve is talking about??
    05:06 colettecairns-1 : kids can edit
    05:06 misterabrams : target has cheap logitech cameras
    05:06 skydaddy : veodea?
    05:06 ewanmcintosh : But with streaming the people talking can, in theory, change their mind, change their tack
    05:06 mstina : Yay, it’s Dembo!
    05:06 jaten : ustream CAN be live, but also broadcast
    05:06 ewanmcintosh : learn in real time with people
    05:06 jsommermeyer-1 : logitechs are nice misst2
    05:06 shareski : A social object http://flickr.com/photos/edublogger/2622917941/
    05:06 lorips : think it is earlier in the chat
    05:06 ewanmcintosh : Hope that helps @RuFu
    05:06 brianmullnl : slow down dembo :)
    05:06 justinreeve : youtube fills its non-live niche just fine, too
    05:06 budtheteacher : @ewanmcintosh - it does make for a fine feedback loop
    05:06 Luke1946 : right, jaten, should’ve qualified
    05:07 skydaddy : Dave Warlick said last week or so: We are the first generation that has to prep our children for a world that we know we cannot imagine
    05:07 MrChase : Is there a session there about how teachers can make a coordinated effort to talk to elected officials about what we need in classrooms?
    05:07 Jackson224 : I’m not certain that students would use the live video… text is still very important to them
    05:07 budtheteacher : I’ll ask it again - at what point will kids be sending daily classes home to parents? And will that force some school change?
    05:07 shareski : Lehmann’s ustream with kids is still my favourite example
    05:07 csessums : hi lehmann!
    05:07 WOScholar : @algona81 - We went to Google Apps for Your Domain. Whole package rocks. Would pay good money for it all, yet it is free. Superintendent loves the cost and the product.
    05:07 Luke1946 : looking for ICE folks in the crowd
    05:07 JLWagner : the camera has a zoom??? excellent - mine does not
    05:07 lisibo : Ustream brilliant for CPD too
    05:07 jsommermeyer-1 : @bud very soon… and absolutely
    05:07 shareski : @JLWagner…..its’ a DV Camera
    05:08 skydaddy : bud - as soon as their schools allow it
    05:08 danfroelich : anyone not getting video feed?
    05:08 JLWagner : ahhhh — okay
    05:08 JLWagner : thank you
    05:08 coachnorm : what is the program that dembo mentioned
    05:08 JackieB : @bud - will the admin allow this to happen?
    05:08 budtheteacher : @skydaddy: Butwhy will the school need to?
    05:08 colemama : LOL - and so true!
    05:08 Luke1946 : coming thru great here in chicago
    05:08 mstina : very choppy
    05:08 misterabrams : it seems to be sharing with everyone but they are still anonymous
    05:08 coachnorm : veodea?
    05:08 justinreeve : @danfroelich: refresh
    05:08 budtheteacher : If a parent walks into a public school - do they get to see their child in class?
    05:08 jsommermeyer-1 : @JackieB you think kids cant record without the admin’s permission?
    05:08 lisibo : shame it’s so difficult to make SLT see it that way though
    05:08 skydaddy : bud - because we parents demand it. But only when.
    05:08 christopherbell : GREAT Point >kids are used to broadcasting to a very narrow audience
    05:08 karlfisch : @bud - not without going to the office first
    05:08 JLWagner : @budtheteacher — at our school, after they sign in
    05:08 jokingswear : @lisibo did he say murder?
    05:08 danfroelich : @justinreeve ..I will be back when the chat lets me back in.
    05:08 JackieB : @bud - not at my school. Need an appt.
    05:08 timstahmer : but we can’t let the world leak in or out of the classroom!!
    05:08 lisibo : HI JO!!
    05:08 justinreeve : @budtheteacher I think every parent should have that right, even if that includes streaming from the classroom
    05:08 lisibo : NO- HE DIDN’T SADLY
    05:09 karlfisch : And we usually send for the kid - parent does not go to class
    05:09 jokingswear : hola
    05:09 aschmitz : @jsommermeyer At our school, no.
    05:09 budtheteacher : @jackieb - is anyone denied access?
    05:09 lisibo : but if we asked he might type it!!
    05:09 christopherbell : qik
    05:09 mstportal : @bud - some teachers welcome parents into the classroom, some do not. Same with ustream. Some are ready to live stream classes, some are not.
    05:09 markwagner : I’d love to see a live Q&A dealing with some of the issues you all are brining up.
    05:09 markwagner : I’ll bet this idea would meet with a lot of friction.
    05:09 WOScholar : I noticed a few posts here that had the censor tag. Is that automatic or a new trend for people to type instead of Wirty Dord?
    05:09 jokingswear : twitter request?
    05:09 karlfisch : Post-Columbine nobody gets to walk into class on their own
    05:09 colemama : post urls?
    05:09 greatnews : http://www.cometnow.com
    05:09 jsommermeyer-1 : @aschmitz you think kids care to get admins’ permissions?
    05:09 justinreeve : It does raise some concern, because you’re basically showing pedos where to find the kids if you make the streams public
    05:09 colemama : thanks!
    05:09 budtheteacher : @mstportal - but at what point are we done with the “YOu can’t” as a practical/functional argument?
    05:09 lisibo : he’s reading this too
    05:09 JLWagner : @karlfish — first HELLO –and Second — is there a reason the parent can’t go into the classroom?? mostly for disruption ??
    05:09 skydaddy : markwagner - this IS a live Q&A :-)
    05:09 budtheteacher : @justinreeve: Nah.
    05:09 karlfisch : HI Jen - security. disruption
    05:10 aschmitz : @jsommermeyer-1: I didn’t. It is apparently an option, but nobody really cares.
    05:10 justinreeve : Streams could be placed behind some login system though, such as a student portal
    05:10 karlfisch : security and disruption, both
    05:10 misst2 : There are some parents that i would like to see live streaming from my room. They need to see how their child interacts in the classroom.
    05:10 markwagner : Sorry… catching the discussion while multitasking… and can’t here the questions here.
    05:10 mstportal : @bud - Who’s saying you can’t? Admin?
    05:10 JLWagner : it makes sense if the parent just wanted to drop off lunch or something
    05:10 mrsdurff : these rich people with these fancy cellphones
    05:10 markwagner : No wonder I thought of it though, eh? ;)
    05:10 justinreeve : @budtheteacher I can understand the concern, at least. And its’ a concern to our technology leaders.
    05:10 JLWagner : but not itf the parent had a justified concern
    05:10 JLWagner : he is using his iPHONE??
    05:10 markwagner : And I’m breaking all records for sticking my foot in my mouth this year. ;)
    05:10 jaten : I saw something about the need to address Web 2.0 in AUPs…
    05:10 budtheteacher : @justinreeve: I understand it, too. But it’s over.
    05:10 ChrisLehmann : Woo hoo! Made it back!
    05:10 ewanmcintosh : Permissions forms: http://edubuzz.org/support
    05:10 timstahmer : pc only? boooo
    05:10 jsommermeyer-1 : its pretty amazing that ustream can support 100 views live, for free…
    05:10 greatnews : oops-cometnow is PC only
    05:10 skydaddy : OH has some high-tech security @ some schools - scan your DL and it calls the PD for a background check in real-time
    05:11 misst2 : We have parents drop by all the time.
    05:11 cleisure : thanks @ewan
    05:11 markwagner : And probably offending the folks I’m socializing with here, too. ;)
    05:11 edueyeview : Thanks for the link Ewan
    05:11 mstina : @JLWagmer I have never heard of such a thing! disruption? Aren’t parents part of a child’s learning process?
    05:11 budtheteacher : @mstportal - no one’s saying that - just asking.
    05:11 karlfisch : @misst2 what level? We’re high school
    05:11 JLWagner : this is the camera he used on the PLANE
    05:11 jsommermeyer-1 : @mstina yes… exept when they are being disruptive :)
    05:11 jaten : Makes sense…the tools are here. We need to be discussing HOW to embrace them not WHETHER to embrace them.
    05:11 misst2 : second grade and I’m at a private school
    05:11 karlfisch : @misst2 OK. A lot different
    05:11 JLWagner : @mstina — I am not agreeing — just wondering
    05:11 mstina : @jsommermeyer-1 Yes, of course!
    05:11 greatnews : http://qik.com
    05:11 Jackson224 : cross-platform?
    05:12 JLWagner : if I was a parent — i would want to be able to go anytime
    05:12 JLWagner : uhoh
    05:12 briancsmith : @mstportal are you in the room?
    05:12 Jackson224 : audio lost
    05:12 rowall : Is anyone else who is in the session getting in and out service. I get a few seconds and then it stops.
    05:12 skydaddy : whoever is runnig the camera - thanks for the zxoom
    05:12 edueyeview : Did Steve break the ustream?
    05:12 lisibo : has it frozen 0-or just me??
    05:12 ewanmcintosh : Dembo crashed it
    05:12 JLWagner : we hit the limit
    05:12 karlfisch : dembo crashed it
    05:12 skydaddy : stream locked up
    05:12 JLWagner : 00 in this chatroom
    05:12 karlfisch : beat you ewan
    05:12 ChrisLehmann : heh.
    05:12 ewanmcintosh : Two ticks
    05:12 lisibo : oh dear
    05:12 mstina : @JLWagner I am just shocked at the policy. I have never been told I couldn’t enter my child’s room.
    05:12 JLWagner : one hundred
    05:12 brianmullnl : His cell broke it… what power
    05:12 cleisure : where I teach parents can come at any time. Where my daughter goes you can’t enter the school.
    05:12 misst2 : Our parents just have to check in at the office and then they can come to the room
    05:12 mstportal : @briancsmith - in my focus group not paying attention - reading this chat instead.
    05:12 mrsdurff : thanks i thought he said kik - qik makes sense
    05:12 skydaddy : aaaahhh!!!
    05:12 justinreeve : oh dear
    05:12 briancsmith : That’s why Dembo was last correct? :)
    05:12 ewanmcintosh : @karlfisch - nya, nya, nya… ;-)
    05:12 cleisure : Oh man, no video or audio
    05:12 JLWagner : @mstina — not a NOT you cannot — but you have to stop by the office first and sign in
    05:12 briancsmith : Ah…
    05:12 edueyeview : LOL brian
    05:12 mrsdurff : we lost ‘em
    05:12 jokingswear : hmmm
    05:12 mstina : @misst2 same policy.
    05:12 WOScholar : I saw cell phone pop popcorn, but not a stream
    05:12 colemama : dembo did it?
    05:12 csessums : rebooting
    05:12 briancsmith : @mstportal… we miss you.
    05:12 mrsdurff : thank you ISTE
    05:12 greatnews : bleeding edge has new meaning :-)
    05:13 lisibo : oh wel - we’ll just have to chat amongst ourselves
    05:13 misst2 : Jen go find them they are lost
    05:13 JLWagner : gotta love tech
    05:13 misterabrams : did everyone lost the feed?
    05:13 justinreeve : I was running out of hard drive space, anyway
    05:13 mrsdurff : veryone write a letter
    05:13 traceymcgrath : hey where did everyone go?
    05:13 edueyeview : Yep, lost it
    05:13 briancsmith : Yikes!!!
    05:13 JLWagner : @misst — sending out the troops
    05:13 brianmullnl : remind me to get THAT phone
    05:13 danfroelich : classic
    05:13 mstportal : @briancsmith I miss you guys to. Not interested in printer ink costs.
    05:13 mhrn : http://qik.com/video/118088
    05:13 lisibo : go on soemone in the room blog it!!
    05:13 greatnews : streaming what was in his pocket :-)
    05:13 JLWagner : Tech support is on the WAY!!
    05:13 lisibo : what’s he saying??
    05:13 misterabrams : ok, well this was neat and overwhelming all at once
    05:13 timstahmer : can only show these crashes to an audience that understands
    05:13 misterabrams : things to work thru
    05:13 lisibo : do tell
    05:13 mstina : Jen, you’re in control - we’re counting on you! :)
    05:13 JLWagner : @mstina — 1,300 miles away - yet still there!!
    05:13 mrsdurff : refresh didn’t do it this time

    05:14 ewanmcintosh : He’s showing Qik

    05:15 rowall : Nice job Teach42
    05:15 JLWagner : I asked TONS of questions :)
    05:15 WOScholar : reboot and it all comes back
    05:15 edueyeview : Too bad the sound doesn’t go with the camera like in SL

    05:16 colettecairns : I would love to get more global connections
    05:16 Jackson224 : Does the moderator have any control of text messaging?

    05:16 brianmullnl : refresh browser
    05:16 lisibo : issues making it work at school
    05:16 ChrisLehmann : Jackson — not really, this is a a web-based front-end for an IRC channel. I imagine you could put an IRC-bot on it somehow…
    05:16 traceymcgrath : Is anybody publishing these sessions as podcasts?
    05:16 lisibo : not least alck of webcams
    05:16 JLWagner : so @shareski — can you explain later how to use a DV camera with a computer. Don’t mean to be ignorant — but I seem to be
    05:16 lisibo : and Bgfl doesn’t like it
    05:16 brianmullnl : Just connect with firewire on a mac
    05:16 jokingswear : nor does swgfl
    05:17 justinreeve : lisibo: Don’t use webcams
    05:17 karlfisch : @JLWagner DV camera with ustream?
    05:17 ChrisLehmann : interestingly, it’s not set up now to have the owner of the channel be the “operator” of the chat room, which would be smart, and honestly, not technologially hard to do.
    05:17 JLWagner : is it really just that easy??
    05:17 justinreeve : @lisibo Use document cameras and turn them into webcams
    05:17 justinreeve : that way your cameras aren’t serving only one purpose
    05:17 lisibo : thanks for that advice
    05:17 RuFu : thx so much for explaining! i love that i can participate w/o being physically there. great tool for kids ! how long has this been around?
    05:17 skydaddy : JL - it really IS that simple
    05:17 mstina : @justinreeve you can do that with a document camera? Cool!
    05:17 JLWagner : I think I make things WAY too hard
    05:17 skydaddy : justin - scary good idea!
    05:17 lisibo : blocking / access issue more a problem though
    05:17 Jackson224 : text moderation would be really useful when in livestream with students…
    05:17 edueyeview : On a Mac, you need camtwist to use an external camera instead of the iSight built in, or UStream crashes
    05:17 lisibo : also Head not so chuffed aut the idea
    05:17 Bookjewel : silly question…new to ustream chat; how do I address a comment to one particular person?
    05:18 todbaker : What are the effective ways to promote your channel?
    05:18 Deacs84 : @jutecht and I sucessfully used Skype and used Call Recorder to document. Not live stream, but we could have set up a stream of the video conference,,,
    05:18 edueyeview : @bookjewel, like this
    05:18 skydaddy : then the question is whether the ports are blocked by the admins
    05:18 JLWagner : @book — double click on the person’s name
    05:18 mke614 : Use the @
    05:18 jokingswear : Head is up for it but rest of swgfl seem scared
    05:18 colemama : @bookjewel do the same way as twitter
    05:18 lisibo : been working on him but he’s now leving os will have to start again…
    05:18 edueyeview : Oh, direct message
    05:18 skydaddy : but if it’s not moving, why put it on video?
    05:18 traceymcgrath : Jen _There are no answers if we don’t ask the questions ;)
    05:18 Bookjewel : thanks
    05:18 JLWagner : @traceymcgrath — yes
    05:18 mhrn : Blocking: did a test of 5 most popular like this on two different institutional networks (hospital and university). This site got through were almost all others didn’t
    05:19 ChrisLehmann : Tracey — you’re very zen today. :)
    05:19 skydaddy : Chris - you really want a spearate moderator so the presenter can present
    05:19 justinreeve : Even if your document camera doesn’t have DirectShow filters which is what ustream, mogulus, etc. use to identify the webcam, you can use a program like this one: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=4 to get document camera video to ustream/mogulus
    05:19 briancsmith : @teach42 Have you seen Kyte.tv?
    05:19 lisibo : @jokingswear - theoretically unblocked but won’t work
    05:19 bcrosby : Remember don’t assume if the Skype web site is blocked that Skype is blocked.
    05:19 timstahmer : Apple’s iSight cameras are excellent for this kind of streaming
    05:19 ChrisLehmann : skydaddy — you do… but from a technological standpoint, the easiest thing that uStream could do is give the owner of the channel “operator” access.
    05:19 bcrosby : The skype web site has nothing to do with skyping
    05:19 jokingswear : swgfl won’t unblock because of deal involving selling video conferencing equipment to schools ;-(
    05:19 jeffmason : ustream chat is blocked at school but not the video
    05:19 ChrisLehmann : And you can always log in more than once.
    05:19 JLWagner : can you hook the Flip Camera to a computer and use live video — (sorry, it this is a DUH ??)
    05:20 ChrisLehmann : Jeff — we have that problem, to.
    05:20 JLWagner : sorry — record video
    05:20 justinreeve : why does that seem backwards, jeff?
    05:20 danfroelich : don’t think so @JLWagner
    05:20 JLWagner : to capture LIVE
    05:20 ewanmcintosh : Even if they do insist on corporate video conferencing, the techniques and pedagogy cross that border
    05:20 Jackson224 : repeat question please
    05:20 justinreeve : if you can get the video camera feed to show up ON the computer, then yes you can capture it and send it out over a streaming server
    05:20 lisibo : @jokinswear / @ewanmcintosh - Bgfl blocking comes and goes - one minute it’s blocked, the next it’s sort of blocked then it won’t work at all
    05:20 bcrosby : You can download skype software other places besides the Skype website.
    05:20 alicebarr : @JL Wagners but other video cams I think yes?
    05:20 RuFu : wouldn’t it be great if districts ustreamed and you could access different speakers you might not otherwise hear.
    05:20 lisibo : same with Youtube
    05:20 Jackson224 : for remote viewers
    05:20 JackieB : What is her question?
    05:21 ChrisLehmann : Justin — a lot of districts block the IRC port, so it’s not that they block anything “uStream,” it’s that that port is always blocked.
    05:21 JLWagner : I need to investigate this much more
    05:21 mstina : Please repeat..
    05:21 traceymcgrath : The nice thing about using a DV Camera as opposed to the isight is having the ability to move it around and zoom in on the presenter, audiences and your screen
    05:21 danfroelich : get a logitech quickcam of any type - cheaper option than flipcam - but better quality
    05:21 justinreeve : ah, I didn’t realize this was IRC-based
    05:21 skydaddy : ChrisL - good point, then owner can delegate it
    05:21 danfroelich : @traceymcgrath I agree
    05:21 justinreeve : yeah, that’s normal then. We block that in our district, too.
    05:21 ChrisLehmann : sky — yah.
    05:21 JLWagner : my logitech camera didn’t agree with my PC — wondering does it have to do with video card??
    05:21 skydaddy : There is no such thing as privacy, that’s what it means
    05:21 timstahmer : I think Apple still sells the iSight independently of the computers
    05:21 jsommermeyer-1 : HE IS HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD THERE
    05:21 neiffer : here, here
    05:22 shareski : for those not in the room here’s how they streamed it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/shareski/2625315131/
    05:22 ChrisLehmann : tracey — a camera is much better, it’s true… but if yo don’t have one… it works. :)
    05:22 metaweb : is there no sound being streamed?
    05:22 mrsdurff : gtg hope it is recorded
    05:22 shareski : It’s always about modeling
    05:22 MrChase : What’re the latest numbers of school Internet saturation and student home Internet saturation on a state-by-state, national and international level?
    05:22 jsommermeyer-1 : streaming, facebook, myspace, ning,… kids need MODELS!!! on how to behave
    05:22 bcrosby : We’ve done skyping with 4 schools at once and it worked well.
    05:22 skydaddy : repeat, please
    05:22 shareski : @jsommermeryr That’s exactly right
    05:22 lisibo : @ewanmcintosh - we tried to use FM with Voices of the world with Sharon Tonner with schools right across the world but there were so many issues with blocking and access and heads being dubious that it didn’t happen all at once as planned
    05:22 edueyeview : @shareski Thanks for the images so quickly
    05:22 JLWagner : I can’t hear — just me??
    05:22 bcrosby : Audio only of course is nice but audio works well too.
    05:23 metaweb : I can now but barely
    05:23 JackieB : Speak up @djakes!
    05:23 edueyeview : It’s soft
    05:23 skydaddy : only getting front-of-house audio, not the presenter’s mic
    05:23 GuitarShreder0 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sC4iwOA-uE
    05:23 coachnorm-1 : How do you get your district policies for technology safety to allow use of these types of tools?
    05:23 Jackson224 : faint audio streaming
    05:23 lisibo : there were several mini FMs though - but none with the kids as we’d envisaged
    05:23 jokingswear : ditto what lisibo said re voices of the world
    05:23 coachnorm-1 : Most of these tools are “blocked” for safety reasons
    05:23 skydaddy : coachnorm - educate, educate, educate
    05:23 shareski : Lesson learned about audio….Jakes is about 15 feet from the mic
    05:23 mhrn : evo.caltech.edu is really cool for multi-site videoconferencing - big on bandwidth though. Can work on whiteboard and share parts of screen. It’s free but might not get through firewalls
    05:23 justinreeve : @coachnorm: Talk directly to them, and show why it’s useful. Explain what you’re going to do with them.
    05:23 jeffmason : @coachnorm-1 application process
    05:23 psteffen : Can we get David’s link to his AUP
    05:23 jokingswear : ning & wiki worked well, but not in real time of course
    05:23 timstahmer : you need rules but you also need to give teachers permission to experiment
    05:24 greatnews : Such an important point–we really need to update our AUPs ASAP
    05:24 justinreeve : and if you can, getting parents invovled might help too, because they’re the ones technology coordinators are catering to
    05:24 JLWagner : xcellent session gentlemen!! THANK YOU!!!
    05:24 skydaddy : We teach kids to read, and that’s dangerous - what if thery read “bad” stuff?
    05:24 lisibo : @jokingswear - agreed
    05:24 justinreeve : like “bad” chat rooms!
    05:24 traceymcgrath : ChrisL How is the district’s bandwidth for Ustreaming and do I need permission from networking to stream a PD?
    05:24 mkforbus : @djakes Would you be willing to share your AUP?
    05:24 JLWagner : going to try this — not so scared now
    05:24 skydaddy : Have to teach kids to filter, not try to protect them
    05:24 psteffen : Can we get David’s link to his AUP
    05:24 justinreeve : Agreed, skydaddy!
    05:24 jeffmason : @greatnews our AUP was just updated to a 27 page leagal doc
    05:24 mstina : Yes, enjoyed the session folks!
    05:24 markwagner : You guys are still on screen in the Global Connections lounge. I’m off to a Walden residency.
    05:24 colemama : risk versus potential - always a bala
