Why is that, and how can we better predict this ahead of time? (I spend no more than five minutes talking about this, but I've found it adds a dash of reality to our excited promotion of new stuff.)

High speed networks
Course management systems
THOUGHTS ABOUT STRUCTURE
We can simply divide up the topics (one of you talking about blogs and podcasting, another about cell phones and xxx, etc.) or we can try something like Vicki suggests on the Chicago page -- with an introducer for each category or app and the chance for others to respond with examples from their own experience. Opinions?

David, Ginger and Dan, would you care to introduce yourselves to one another with a bit about your interest/background in emerging technologies?
David Warlick:
for 31 30+ years, starting as a middle school social studies teacher. I am currently working as a consultant, writer, blogger, podcaster, programmer and public speaker -- doing business as The Landmark Project. My current interests are 21st century literacy, understanding, and finding and inventing applications for Web 2.0 applications, and video games as learning engines.
Ginger Jewell:
I've been in the field 28 years and I've been hooked on technology for 27 of them. I've worked in rural, suburban and urban districts, in private and public settings, and as a university professor, so I've seen the issues from different perspectives. I currently work in an economically disadvantagedurban school district. My district won NSBA's national top technology using district award in 2004 and we've gone way beyond where we were when we won that, so we've proven that poverty is not a roadblock to good technology. Right now my burning interest is gaming in the classroom, but I'm also heavily invested into MP3 players for learning and digital resources.

I think the tag team approach might be really fun...we will want to compare notes well in advance so we can make sure we have everything covered and reduce the "dittos". :) (dan)
I agree with the introducer/reflector idea- we just need to form a collective attack plan to cover as much ground as we can, which addresses Judy's "breadth" need, and is somethng I agree with. Without minimizing the importance of Web 2.0 in the scheme of things, I would hope that our audience, who are leaders versus practitioners, would have enough background with wikis, blogs and podcsting to not get bogged down in how to do it but rather concrete examples of why you would do it and the impact on achievement. I'd really like to stick with real examples of how something is being used and why it is increasing achievement.That's my take on this.GJ

What's Hot Today
#
Blogs - Introducer - ?May want to mention the results the National Writing project is seeing with BloggingIntroduction and writing. - Vicki
#
Podcasts - Introducer - ?
Reflector: Vicki - a note about putting your class in the itunes store (I did it this year.), Mention Mabry Middle school putting class on Itunes
#
Wikis Formula for Analysis - Introducer Conn - Wikis 10 min
The Technology Analysis Equation
P= p - Vicki (Will mention my flatclassroomproject i
Performance = potential - meets all of ISTE's newly drafted NETS standards.)
Reflector:
Wireless Access -This may be too much to take on. We should focus on the tools and how they're being used. How to get to them would be another whole session. Vicki - is it okay to remove this item? (Idea Referenced Below)
!
5. Smart Art in Word 2007 (This is a huge use for teachers who interference (we will use graphic organizers!)
6. Hot Sites for Classroom Use
(perhaps we go through these very quickly and alternate?) -- We could just let each give this as a hot site and rotate until time is up for each section?
BubbleShare
Slideshare
Flickr (Need framework to mention Darren Kuropatwa using Flickr to teach Math -- it is amazing!)
YouTube (Vicki)
GoogleNotebook/ All Google Docs
7. Hot Sites for finding grants? (Are there a couple discuss each technology)
Taken from the Inner Game of these?)
8. Tennis
An example: Document Cameras -
I know they aren't
These little gems may not be as whiz-bang "whiz-bang" exciting as some of the other technologies, but if you are looking for some real bang fo ryour buck, they are having a huge impact in our schools, and they can actually be used for some cools stuff like videoblogs. (I'll post an example soon.)
Global Collaborative Projects - Conn
9. Digital photography/video/storytelling -
This Vicki 5 minutes
Where one can go when interference is minimized
Flat Classroom Project
The Horizon Project (will be in process)
Connecting the foundation for many of the previously-mentioned technologies, and is a huge part of our students' lives outside of school. Campus - Conn
!
10. Why Some Cool Technologies Stick (and Others Don't) Tom -
Those of us who have been through this for a while know that sometimes really cool technologies end up disappearing without ever having the impact we expect. Why is that, and how can we better predict this ahead of time? (I spend no more than five 10 minutes talking about this, but I've found it adds a dash of reality to our excited promotion of new stuff.) - Conn
Tomorrow's Killer Apps (and Gadgets?)
Web 3D - Vicki (SL and Virtual Worlds Website -- will add links later)
SmartPhones in the Classroom (When ipods and cell phones become our friends.)
*Vicki would like to reflect if time.
Webconferencing and videoconferencing - Conn
What's Hot Tomorrow!
WiMaxx
Wireless - WI-MAX. I could touch on this for just a minute if you would like. It is a deep topic, technicallity wise. But I could compare briefly the difference between a wireless access point that covers a section of school building versus a wireless access point that covers a section of a city. Tom
Moodle & other social networking
My Web 2.0 Up and Coming App of the Year- Year
- www.notecentric.com - A A "Social Noteworking Site". I made that last part up. Developed Developed by an actual student at the University of New Mexico using Ruby on Rails. The site uses a login/network similiar to that of facebook, where networks are created solely based on the end of an educational email system such as .edu, or .k12.wi.us, etc... Students use the application to add courses, take notes, and share notes with others in the network. There is an RSS on courses, so if a fellow student in Biology 120 just just added some new notes and chose to share them, you will be up to date. The system also allows you to create discussion forums within the courses. An extensive search funtion, recently created notes page, and the ability to browse by year, subject, course, semester, will allow students to access notes from past years/courses quickly. Tom
Telling the Story - Conn - 5 minutes
PhotoStory
Digital Storytelling
This is the foundation for many of the previously-mentioned technologies, and is a huge part of our students' lives outside of school.
Web 3D and Second Life - Vicki - 10 minutes
3D environments and learning
Second Life - why its not quite ready yet but kids need to be ready anyway
Shall we play a game? (And learn too!) - Tom - Wii - 5 minutes
Wii
Nintendo Wii - Nintendo's newest game console, becoming known for it's active/interactive/exercise approach to gaming could find it's way into afterschool programs and classrooms. Third party educational games that can be accessed through the Wii browser allow for gamers to play/participate in games created especially for Wii using the Wii remote. Nintendo will also be rolling out it's Mii (pronounced Me) in the near future, which will involve users to create their Nintendo Mii avatar's and take them into an online networking environment. I will be testing the Wii out with the Afterschool Boys and Girls Club in my school next week. Tom WiiOutsellsPS3inU.S.$13BillionDollarMarket Tom WiiOutsellsPS3inU.S.$13BillionDollarMarket
Sony Playstation 3 also with a web browser, will be putting out a Beta version of their virtual 3D world. Too big of a topic for me though.
Handhelds,Instant Assessment - Conn - 5 minutes
Tablets / Airliner/ Smart Pads
*IF time, webconferenceing/ video conferencing!
Preventing Problems before they happen - Tom - 5 minutes
Behavior Tracking
The future is in your hand - Conn - 5 minutes
Handhelds, the Sequel - This would tie in with Vicki's SmartPhones. As As Ultra-Mobile PCs and devices like the Nokia Internet Tablet drop in cost (and SmartPhones get smarter, and videogame devices like the PSP get wireless connectivity and browsers), ubiquitous net access becomes more and more of a reality, and will definitely be an integral part of our students' futures. - Conn
Why some technologies "stick" and others don't
Those of us who have been through this for a while know that sometimes really cool technologies end up disappearing without ever having the impact we expect. Why is that, and how can we better predict this ahead of time? (I spend no more than five minutes talking about this, but I've found it adds a dash of reality to our excited promotion of new stuff.)
Q&A
Gwen will lead in Questions and Answers (if there is a live chat, it can be used to pose questions as well.) We will field questions but leave the last 5-8 minutes for a conclusion
Conclusion
Gwen will ask each participant to ask "If you have one message to leave with our participants today, what would it be?"
We'll go in the order Tom, Vicki, Conn.
From Gwen
Organization
We'll look at technologies of your choice within the framework of your perspective. So for example, Vicki will talk about how Web 3D and other technologies make a difference for student learning. Then Tom will pick up with his perspective on working with teachers to use these and other tools. Finally, Conn will talk about the big picture of tech integration in his region.
Do you want to list some thoughts here?
Vicki - classroom perspective
Tom - district perspective
Conn - regional perspective

Video Games
Ginger:Ginger: My topics would have to be (in no particular order):
MP3 players
Small form factor devices
Digital resources, specifically texts
Assistive technology for ALL students
Blended learning environments for regular classroom teachers
Gaming (my personal current fave)
Open Source
As far as presentation, in looking over what everyone has written, it looks like things fall intothese categories, with some fitting in multiple spaces:
Web 2.0 tools (wikis, podcasting, blogging, RSS, social networking)
Gaming included immersive games like Second Life
Devices (MP3, small form factor like iPhone and others in the space, assistive devices)
Online learning aids and platforms (digital texts, blogs, wikis, Moodle (and other brands))
Open Source software (Moodle and others)
I think 21st century literacy/skills is almost an umbrella topic which impacts all of them.
Dan: We could look at specific technology pieces or we could try to group and frame them within the context of a school or a learning environment. I'm open to either approach. Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling.
Leveraging Networks of People for Collaboration (distributed collaboration - this would include spaces like wiki's, google docs, collaborative podcasts, etc)
I agree with you and Vicki here. Why don't you, Judy, introduce each of us with a short paragraph. We could even have a slide with our vita, and get right to the topics. You throw out the topic, and we each chime in with our angle and examples. I suspect that we might each need to limit ourselves to a budgeted number of minutes. (dfw)
I think the tag team approach might be really fun...we will want to compare notes well in advance so we can make sure we have everything covered and reduce the "dittos". :) (dan)
I agree with the introducer/reflector idea- we just need to form a collective attack plan to cover as much ground as we can, which addresses Judy's "breadth" need, and is somethng I agree with. Without minimizing the importance of Web 2.0 in the scheme of things, I would hope that our audience, who are leaders versus practitioners, would have enough background with wikis, blogs and podcsting to not get bogged down in how to do it but rather concrete examples of why you would do it and the impact on achievement. I'd really like to stick with real examples of how something is being used and why it is increasing achievement.That's my take on this.

Two types of people: Introducer/ reflector
Introduction/ Welcome
Gwen Solomon
-->--> Somewhere in the intro, I’ll let the audience know that I'm compiling stories, lessons, best practice tips, tutorials, etc. for a second Web 2.0 book and ask them to contribute. Is that okay with everyone?
Bio/ Speaker Intro?
State a brief bio of where you are now, and why you feel that new technologies are important for today's classroom.
6. Hot Sites for Classroom Use
(perhaps we go through these very quickly and alternate?) -- We could just let each give a hot site and rotate until time is up for each section?

What's Hot Tomorrow!
- WI-MAX. WI-MAX. I could touch on this for just a minute if you would like. It is a deep topic, technicallity wise. But I could compare briefly the difference between a wireless access pointthat point that covers a section ofschool buildingversus of school building versus a wireless access point that covers asection a section of a city.Tom

My Web 2.0 Up and Coming App of the Year- www.notecentric.com www.notecentric.com - A A "Social Noteworking Site". Imade I made that last part up. Developed Developed by an actual student at the University of New Mexico using Ruby on Rails. The site uses a login/network similiar to that of facebook, where networks are created solely based on the end of an educational email system such as .edu, or .k12.wi.us, etc... Students use the application to add courses, take notes, and share notes with others in the network. There is an RSS on courses, so if a fellow student in Biology 120just 120 just added some new notes and chose to share them, you will be up to date. The system also allows you to create discussion forums within the courses. An extensive search funtion, recently created notes page, and the ability to browse by year, subject, course, semester, will allow students to access notes from past years/courses quickly. Tom
Nintendo Wii - Nintendo'snewest Nintendo's newest game console, becomingknown becoming known for it's active/interactive/exercise approach togaming to gaming could find it's way into afterschool programs and classrooms. Third party educational games that can be accessed through the Wii browser allow for gamers to play/participate in games created especially for Wii using the Wii remote. Nintendo will also be rolling out it's Mii (pronouncedMe)in (pronounced Me) in the near future, which will involve users to create their Nintendo Mii avatar's and take them into an onlinenetworking environment.I online networking environment.

Sony Playstation 3 also with a web browser, will be putting out a Beta version of their virtual 3D world. Too big of a topic for me though.
SmartPhones. As As Ultra-Mobile PCs and devices like the Nokia Internet Tablet drop in cost (and SmartPhones get smarter, and videogame devices like the PSP get wireless connectivity and browsers), ubiquitous net access becomes more and more of a reality, and will definitely be an integral part of our students' futures. - Conn Conn
From Gwen
Organization
We'll look at technologies of your choice within the framework of your perspective. So for example, Vicki will talk about how Web 3D and other technologies make a difference for student learning. Then Tom will pick up with his perspective on working with teachers to use these and other tools. Finally, Conn will talk about the big picture of tech integration in his region.
Do you want to list some thoughts here?
Vicki - classroom perspective
Tom - district perspective
Conn - regional perspective

Related to this is the question of breadth vs. depth. I should be embarrassed to admit this but I (Judy) am pushing for breadth because I think the audience is looking to you for a whole bunch of great ideas and inspiration from you -- including things they haven't even seen yet. I see the afternoon EduBloggerCon session as allowing participants to return to some of these technologies and share their own thoughts and experiences, which takes some of the pressure off of you to do as much as of the WHY as you would have otherwise. On the other hand, just doing the WHAT part could be superficial and sound like technology for technology's sake. So I guess the goal is a balance. Over to you:

Description: xxxxxx Blogging is an entirely unimpressive technology. You fill in a web form, press the submit button, and you have updated a web page. We've been doing that for years. What has made blogging so phenomenally special is what people have done with it. What has emerged on the Internet, over the past handful of years is a growing layer of content that can best be described as conversation.
It's benefits to education are both obvious and subtle. Come to the New Technologies that are Changing Education for more.

Description: Until recently, video games have been viewed as little more than a distraction. Some games have been used in education, but more during the early years of instructional technology than recently. But while we were not watching, a video game culture has emerged -- a way of life and a brand new story- and myth-base for a generation of youngsters. We are starting to pay attention now, and starting to wonder if this video game experience might be a golden opportunity. Are video games learning engines?

Description: This is one of the coolest technologiesout there with huge impact for education. Most students already know the technology, it's just a matter of making it work fof us. On the average, 28% of your students are audio learners and the benefit to them is direct and quick. We also know that the research shows us the more ways we can deliver content, the better the chance of it sticking. How are they being used in your district?

Digital Texts %5BGinger Jewell%5D Texts
Description: In an age where we are digitizing anything and everything, that last bastion of the publishing world is trying to hold fast to its traditional ways. As computing becomes cheaper, and access therefore more ubiquitous, the next logical step will be to obtain digital rather than paper texts. University publishers seem to be more amenable to this idea, with a little over a quarter of the market share being in the digital realm. K-12 is a little slower. There are several issues in play here. (Feel free to add to this list)
The current pricing structure in K-12 is to offer the digital text as an "add-on" dependent upon the purchase of the paper text.

MyWeb 2.0 Up and Coming App of the Year- www.notecentric.com - A "Social Noteworking Site". Developed by an actual student at the University of New Mexico using Ruby on Rails. The site uses a login/network similiar to that of facebook, where networks are created solely based on the end of an educational email system such as .edu, or .k12.wi.us, etc... Students use the application to add courses, take notes, and share notes with others in the network. There is an RSS on courses, so if a fellow student in Biology 120just added some new notes and chose to share them, you will be up to date. The system also allows you to create discussion forums within the courses. An extensive search funtion, recently created notes page, and the ability to browse by year, subject, course, semester, will allow students to access notes from past years/courses quickly.

Tech Forum Long Beach, May 18
Listen and watch as a panel of ed tech gurus shares online tools and cutting-edge technologies that have the potential to change the way teachers teach, students learn and schools operate. What’s hot today and what will be tomorrow's "killer apps" for schools?

HOT TOPICS/TECHNOLOGIES/PRODUCTS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADDRESS
Why don't you use this space to list all the things you might touch on if you were doing this session solo. I know there will be lots of overlap but once it's all written out here, I think it should be easy to divide up somehow.

THOUGHTS ABOUT STRUCTURE
We can simply divide up the topics (one of you talking about blogs and podcasting, another about cell phones and xxx, etc.) or we can try something like Vicki suggests on the Chicago page -- with an introducer for each category or app and the chance for others to respond with examples from their own experience. Opinions?
Related to this is the question of breadth vs. depth. I should be embarrassed to admit this but I (Judy) am pushing for breadth because I think the audience is looking to you for a whole bunch of great ideas and inspiration from you -- including things they haven't even seen yet. I see the afternoon EduBloggerCon session as allowing participants to return to some of these technologies and share their own thoughts and experiences, which takes some of the pressure off of you to do as much as of the WHY as you would have otherwise. On the other hand, just doing the WHAT part could be superficial and sound like technology for technology's sake. So I guess the goal is a balance. Over to you:

Digital Texts %5BGinger Jewell%5D
Description: In an age where we are digitizing anything and everything, that last bastion of the publishing world is trying to hold fast to its traditional ways. As computing becomes cheaper, and access therefore more ubiquitous, the next logical step will be to obtain digital rather than paper texts. University publishers seem to be more amenable to this idea, with a little over a quarter of the market share being in the digital realm. K-12 is a little slower. There are several issues in play here. (Feel free to add to this list)
The current pricing structure in K-12 is to offer the digital text as an "add-on" dependent upon the purchase of the paper text.
The definition of a digital text is variable and open to interpretation.
Sometimes a text in the hands of every child is a political decision based on whatadults wantrather than an instructional decision based on what students need.

NOTES TO DAVE:
HURRAH. I MANAGED TO GRAB THE BANNER!!
THANKS FOR DOING THE SIDEBAR.
NOW:
1. How on earth do I move the sidebar back to the side instead of having it on top where it looks bad? I'm also having trouble adding blank lines between things?
You can't move the sidebar. I haven't had problems putting spaces in, give me an example.
2. Want to add some links to the sidebar to PBwiki's help pages? They're pretty good and perhaps we don't need to create new ones but I agree that we want to make things as easy as possible for people who are just getting started.
I'll do that in the sandbox.
3. What else seems important to add before we invite other speakers to start playing with it?
Give me a couple of days...
4. Before a lot of other folks start editing, I'll change name of this wiki to TechForumWiki. In looking at their FAQ, apparently I do that by emailing them.
I did it for you. I also added a hyperlink to your logo, so when you roll-over it, it links to TF.
