- pgeorge that streaming banner across the bottom covers about half of your faces :-(
- pgeorge MOOC Cast superstar--Lisa Lane :-) Nice title!
- ASTM Student Members The audio is great, but the video is choppy
- Lisa M Lane I think the audio depends on your connection and the connections of the individuals on cam
- ASTM Student Members I hear a little echo but this is wonderful considering!
- pgeorge both audio and video are coming through great for me but I have a direct ethernet connection with great bandwidth
- pgeorge wow! one talk/interview with Dan PInk about all 4 of his books!!
- pgeorge http://www.edtechcrew.net/2011/08/24/ed-tech-crew-171/
- pgeorge thanks for tweeting that link Vance
- pgeorge it's really interesting to watch Jeff's face change with each of the words he was using to describe the course--frowns with the control words and smiles/big eyes with the open terms :-)
- gsiemens those are the best courses, Lisa :)
- pgeorge HI George :-)
- Lisa M Lane http://pedagogyfirst.org/wppf
- pgeorge thanks! always feel like I'm missing something when there are 2 chat rooms (I am...)
- Vance ok, found it, Hi Peggy
- pgeorge HI Vance :-)
- pgeorge @Vance-did you see my earlier message about Elluminate Publish?
- ASTM Student Members Is this BuddyPress?
- ASTM Student Members WPTavern is a great forum for BuddyPress
- pgeorge I really like the title and sub-title for your site! :-)
- Vance can anyone reach this blog post or is it truly down http://joedale.typepad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_/2011/03/easy-classr...
- pgeorge I had no problem reaching that post Vance
- Vance I'll use my vpn then
- pgeorge Easy classroom blogging with Posterous??
- pgeorge came through fine
- Kate Robbins no problem with that link, Vance, but it did freeze my screen
- Kate Robbins This sounds like Vance's strucutre except Mentors.
- pgeorge must just be a bit bandwidth intensive with this livestream/hangout running simultaneously
- Kate Robbins It's interesting so many feel so uncomfortable not via an LMS
- pgeorge I love that model--12 weeks/12 weeks
- pgeorge that is the classic struggle for university folks--well almost everyone! structured learning vs open learning. Still looking for the prof to structure their learning
- Kate Robbins That's the US School System - administration has tp have the oversight
- pgeorge ummmm--oversight = control :-)
- Kate Robbins or saving their jobs:)
- Lisa M Lane oddly, if your class is open, they can oversight all they want
- Lisa M Lane but they want the stats maybe
- pgeorge probably right Lisa--stats...
- pgeorge I think Posterous provides a fantastic tool for this
- Kate Robbins Which is very difficult for the traditional learners, who grew up with structure
- pgeorge exactly Kate!
- pgeorge so true--Google has so many tools integrated for the entire experience
- Kate Robbins important for grants and funding
- Kate Robbins Where are you, Jeff?
- Vanessa but welcome to those of us who grew up resisting the structure
- Kate Robbins Is Arnold included? LOL
- Vance hi vanessa
- Vanessa hello all -
- Vanessa no sound just text
- morteza barin hello everybody
- Lisa M Lane you can join us in Google + hangout if you are linked to Jeff Lebow
- Lisa M Lane Vanessa, are you here via http://edtechtalk.com/livestreamjeff?
- Vanessa I'm finding higher ed faculty is as resistant to openness as admin: they characterize open learning as content without learning (eg no active 'teaching')
- Vance what about active learning?
- Vanessa I got Lisa's FB msg and am her via that link
- Lisa M Lane ooooh, I must remember that - OER might be content without teaching
- Vanessa Some find active learning threatening
- Lisa M Lane Vanessa, find Jeff LeBow through G+
- pgeorge hard to keep track of all of the MOOCs :-)
- Vanessa I replied by saying take one of these before passing judgement
- Jeff Lebow: would you like to join Vanessa?
- Kate Robbins yes - mentorship finds itself
- Kate Robbins just not appointed
- Vanessa Yes, George it is... comforting that even a moocuru would find it so
- Vanessa I agree Kate - many is the time I have gone mentor hunting
- pgeorge community means you have to take some personal responsibility for contributing to the community--not just completing assignments
- Vanessa because what was offered did not suit
- Jeff Lebow: hangout invite sent Vanessa
- ralenefriend Hello all
- pgeorge hi ralenefriend :-) welcome
- Lisa M Lane Hi Ralene!
- Vanessa cooperative also means (to some) relinquishing control
- Vanessa hi Ralene
- Lisa M Lane or switching to a different kind of control
- Vance that's a really good point, Kate, I'll certainly consider formalizing the mentorship relationship in future courses
- Kate Robbins It might save your time, Vance!
- Kate Robbins guess it relplaces the old model of team / partner work
- pgeorge the concept of aggregating using tags is really important--not just tracking/monitoring but aggregating
- pgeorge hahaha--grasshoppers for dummies!
- Vanessa Having done both, I think voluntary (and mutual) mentoring works better than old team / partner model w/ those imposed top down
- pgeorge scoop.it can handle individual blog posts but haven't tried a page with rss feeds
- Kate Robbins yes @Vanessa I agree
- pgeorge I agree @Vanessa--and don't need to have just one mentor--community of mentors :-)
- Kate Robbins Hi, by the way:)
- Lisa M Lane As a mentor and a mentee, I felt more comfortable having the connection defined, even loosely.
- Vanessa @George - Tags - took me a long time to really get the habit but they have made such a difference. I have Vance and EVO to thank
- ASTM Student Members Love Scoop.it too
- pgeorge Bill Zimmerman :-) To help educators, MakeBeliefsComix.com, thefree online comic strip generator, has launched a Daily Comix Diary Pageoffering many ideas at http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/Daily-Comix-Diary/
- Vanessa @Lisa - I agree, maybe it's something we need to work on... loose enough to be flexible but clear enough to be useful
- Vance here''s the list of epcop mooc recordings and upcoming sessions, here http://learning2gether.pbworks.com/w/page/32206114/volunteersneeded
- pgeorge thanks for the link Vance--have it bookmarked from your earlier email to webheads--very helpful!
- Vance coach Carol's Make Belief change eportfolio cover http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/Comix/?comix_id=33421980C521942
- pgeorge interesting distinction between collaboration and cooperation--not sure I agree
- Kate Robbins If you're sharing ideas, that's collaborating, no?
- pgeorge good explanation Lisa :-) that makes sense
- gjoyce glenis joyce I'm in eportfolio mooc, great scaffolding, great support from Challenge Mentors. http://epcopmooc.ning.com/
- ASTM Student Members Google + question - Jeff how come you don't appear at the top, even when you're speaking
- ASTM Student Members now I'm hungry...
- ASTM Student Members Jeff, now you're on top :)
- Kate Robbins Vance re: Dan Pink - here is the link to the TED Talk re: motivation http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html
- Kate Robbins Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation
- pgeorge is it that the "streamer" doesn't pop up to the top because of the audio source?
- Vanessa @G - focused vs diffused ~ collaboration requires cooperation..
- Vance yes and this is the link to the interview I mentioned earlier http://www.edtechcrew.net/2011/08/24/ed-tech-crew-171/
- Kate Robbins ok - thanks
- Vance he says the intrinsic drivers are the ones we should be attending to
- pgeorge some people don't trust their intrinsic drivers--think they don't know enough and want the guidance fromthe experts
- Michael I really apprecated folks recommendations during the eduMOOC regarding Canvas
- Kate Robbins drove me crazy in grad school -some prof use 1 chapter
- pgeorge and it's usually a textbook written by that faculty member :-(
- Vanessa intrinsic / extrinsic - big difference in language learing where a lot has been written about it
- pgeorge great first session!!! thank you all for your sharing and transparency! :-)
- Vanessa G+ is still trying to load me to hangout
- pgeorge global sweetspot! love it! I'm on Pacific time at 7:00am was definitely doable
- pgeorge 80 viewers on Livestream :-) awesome!
- Vanessa I'll listen to the audio later

- pgeorge you can try cel.ly as a more private twitter option for a reluctant group
- ASTM Student Members I lost sound and video...
- pgeorge me too but just came back
- ASTM Student Members back now :)
- Michael Yes
- pgeorge no ads during--just at beginning for me
- ASTM Student Members Just a static ad under the chat box
- pgeorge and a little man in the lower right corner a few times
- Kate Robbins not in google
- Kate Robbins when?
- ASTM Student Members Also a slider at the top announcing upcoming streams
- pgeorge the static ad is a banner created by Jeff for Livestream channel
