2007.08.07 09:10:16 AaronF: today ive decided to focus my presentation on the online aspect of teaching
2007.08.07 09:10:20 KarinaS: hi
2007.08.07 09:10:44 RubenB: morning
2007.08.07 09:10:45 AaronF: and how Wimba Voice tools can be used to supplement your courses
2007.08.07 09:11:00 AmeliaIG: name name
2007.08.07 09:11:13 AmeliaIG: nice*
2007.08.07 09:11:21 AaronF: Ive prepared a link that you can click on if you want to see a demo
2007.08.07 09:11:42 DanikaB is letting voice tools demo load
2007.08.07 09:11:45 AaronF: you can find it in the teaching resources folder
2007.08.07 09:12:05 AaronF: or just click http://wimba.com/assets/_flash/VT_preloader.html
2007.08.07 09:12:16 VictoriaNG joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:12:23 AaronF: its only a minute long so ill let you see it
2007.08.07 09:12:36 HilarioP left the room (signed off).
2007.08.07 09:12:36 DanikaB listens to the demonstration
2007.08.07 09:12:37 HilarioP joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:12:48 AaronF: having speakers is a plus as well
2007.08.07 09:13:00 AlexandrMB: i am too no need for headphones
2007.08.07 09:13:07 SonyaAndrV joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:13:09 LourdesR joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:13:31 DanikaB nods but notes that you can follow along with the images
2007.08.07 09:13:34 AaronF: Wimba can be used to teach any subject over the internet
2007.08.07 09:13:38 AlexandrMB: very true
2007.08.07 09:13:43 AaronF: Wimba is perfect for language learning and creating vocal exercises in any subject.
2007.08.07 09:13:53 SamanthaRG joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:14:01 DanikaB thinks this is nice...
2007.08.07 09:14:04 AaronF: most of the ways i have seen it applied are for language courses
2007.08.07 09:14:10 DanikaB has been using garage band to create voice modules
2007.08.07 09:14:12 AraceliaG: great
2007.08.07 09:14:22 MarcS joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:14:26 HilarioP: Aaron, can you send the link again? I clicked on it and it logged me out of the group discussion.
2007.08.07 09:14:35 AaronF: ItThe web-based vocal tools facilitate and promote vocal instruction, collaboration and coaching.
2007.08.07 09:14:38 AaronF: sure
2007.08.07 09:14:47 AaronF: http://wimba.com/assets/_flash/VT_preloader.html
2007.08.07 09:14:52 DanikaB: hilario, you might want to click on the link from the discussion board...
2007.08.07 09:15:05 AdrianB: that's nice
2007.08.07 09:15:06 DanikaB: but, hilario, i'm going to push the page on you, so you might get bumped...
2007.08.07 09:15:21 DanikaB projects http://hilariop http://wimba.com/assets/_flash/VT_preloader.html
2007.08.07 09:15:21 DanikaB projects http://hilariop http://wimba.com/assets/_flash/VT_preloader.html
2007.08.07 09:15:30 MarcS: wow this is cool
2007.08.07 09:15:32 DanikaB: oops...
2007.08.07 09:15:34 DanikaB: sorry guys
2007.08.07 09:15:41 HilarioP: not sure what you did
2007.08.07 09:15:43 DianaG: nice
2007.08.07 09:15:57 SonyaAndrV: awww i can't get into it...dial up =[
2007.08.07 09:16:02 AaronF: there really is no way to teach a foriegn language online without having some comfusion
2007.08.07 09:16:27 AlexandrMB: http://wimba.com/assets/_flash/VT_preloader.html
2007.08.07 09:16:28 LourdesR: that's for sure
2007.08.07 09:16:35 AdrianB: same as Sonya
2007.08.07 09:16:37 AlexandrMB: try that and hold on the ctrl button
2007.08.07 09:16:42 AaronF: but with Wimba Voice Tools, your voice can help coach your students
2007.08.07 09:17:05 LourdesR: how cool
2007.08.07 09:17:06 AmeliaIG: neat
2007.08.07 09:17:11 AaronF: The process usually happens just like tapped in
2007.08.07 09:17:14 CatherineZ: Very nice!
2007.08.07 09:17:20 AlexandrMB: cool
2007.08.07 09:17:31 AndreaZ: nice
2007.08.07 09:17:32 JulissaL: i do agree
2007.08.07 09:17:35 AaronF: everyone is trying to get a message across
2007.08.07 09:17:35 MarcS: i'm sure when it works properly, it can be very beneficial
2007.08.07 09:17:53 AaronF: except unlike tapped in, Wimba allows for asynchronous chat
2007.08.07 09:18:24 DanikaB nods... like leaving and retrieving voice messages
2007.08.07 09:18:28 AaronF: and the ability to conduct live discussions just like tapped in, but you get to HEAR what peers are saying instead of having to play catch-up with the fast scrolling comments.
2007.08.07 09:18:37 LudivinaV joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:18:40 DanikaB nods
2007.08.07 09:18:50 SamanthaRG: cool works with webct
2007.08.07 09:18:59 AaronF: yeah....thanks samantha
2007.08.07 09:19:11 MarcS: interesting
2007.08.07 09:19:18 AaronF: it seamlessly integrates with WebCT and Blackboard
2007.08.07 09:19:39 AraceliaG: Wow! thats great
2007.08.07 09:19:42 JoAnnaG joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:19:46 AaronF: So if your an instructor that is set in your ways of using Course Managements Systems, Wimba would not change that
2007.08.07 09:19:47 DanikaB: it looks like you could also integrate it into a regular web page
2007.08.07 09:20:11 DanikaB wonders if Aaron doesn't work in academic computing
2007.08.07 09:20:20 AaronF: I work at CLTT
2007.08.07 09:20:28 DanikaB thought you might
2007.08.07 09:20:30 AaronF: Taking care of WebCT courses
2007.08.07 09:20:42 DianaG: kool
2007.08.07 09:20:48 AlexandrMB: ummm an expert
2007.08.07 09:20:49 DanikaB hopes he isn't offended at my dismissive webct remarks now and again
2007.08.07 09:20:51 LourdesR: nice
2007.08.07 09:20:55 DanikaB appreciates the expertise
2007.08.07 09:20:58 AaronF: Another advantage is that you can access it from anywhere, anytime
2007.08.07 09:21:03 AlexandrMB: i do too
2007.08.07 09:21:30 AaronF: There is one drawback however
2007.08.07 09:21:37 AlexandrMB: what is it
2007.08.07 09:21:41 DanikaB: aaron, wimba has the advantage of allowing students to contribute voice material too, unlike a podcast, say
2007.08.07 09:22:10 AaronF: Yes.... that is a definite advantage
2007.08.07 09:22:34 AaronF: You can make podcasts, and upload them to your ipod. This allows learning on the GO!
2007.08.07 09:22:41 SonyaAndrV: neatt!
2007.08.07 09:22:45 AdrianB: nice
2007.08.07 09:22:48 VictoriaNG: cool
2007.08.07 09:22:50 AaronF: You are no longer confined to the computer
2007.08.07 09:22:51 JulissaL: now that is one of the neatest things ive heard of
2007.08.07 09:22:53 LudivinaV: very nice
2007.08.07 09:22:55 DianaG: ic awesome
2007.08.07 09:23:03 AnabellR: wow!
2007.08.07 09:23:07 AaronF: But......
2007.08.07 09:23:12 DanikaB: what was ...
2007.08.07 09:23:17 AlexandrMB: convient
2007.08.07 09:23:17 DanikaB waits for the drawback
2007.08.07 09:23:20 AaronF: you DO need a fast internet connection
2007.08.07 09:23:22 DanikaB nods
2007.08.07 09:23:28 SonyaAndrV: =[
2007.08.07 09:23:38 MarcS: yea definitley need a fast connection
2007.08.07 09:23:39 AaronF: Dialup cant suppor the voice feature, and causes major lag
2007.08.07 09:23:41 JovanaG: oh well
2007.08.07 09:23:48 LudivinaV: aah
2007.08.07 09:24:18 AaronF: There is also a video feature that is available when using Wimba Voice Tools, so if the student wants to been seen and heard at the same time they will need a webcam
2007.08.07 09:24:19 DanikaB: it seems like we might have to wait to completely integrate wimba/podcasts and such into our classes, but that we might develop supplemental materials on them.
2007.08.07 09:24:20 AraceliaG: But I think most of us have switched to high speed
2007.08.07 09:24:37 CatherineZ: Technology is getting so advanced! It's crazy all the things you can do now!
2007.08.07 09:24:38 MarcS: for the most part
2007.08.07 09:24:45 AndreaZ: yeah
2007.08.07 09:24:50 DanikaB: or, use it for entirely online course options, where students can choose to enroll if they have the technology resources.
2007.08.07 09:25:06 JulissaL: yup
2007.08.07 09:25:09 AndreaZ: or could they use the school computers?
2007.08.07 09:25:13 LudivinaV: righ, danika
2007.08.07 09:25:19 DanikaB . o O ( if they have earphones! )
2007.08.07 09:25:22 DanikaB grins
2007.08.07 09:25:25 CatherineZ smiles
2007.08.07 09:25:30 AlexandrMB: haha
2007.08.07 09:25:31 CatherineZ: I have earphones today!
2007.08.07 09:25:33 CatherineZ: WOO HOO!
2007.08.07 09:25:34 CatherineZ: lol
2007.08.07 09:25:42 LudivinaV: smiles
2007.08.07 09:25:45 AaronF: a big problem though is that some students dont even know there is an online supplement to their classes
2007.08.07 09:25:49 DanikaB: aaron, it looks like on your slideshare, you have a number of resources (blogs, wordpress...)
2007.08.07 09:25:51 AraceliaG: i brought my earphones.2
2007.08.07 09:25:57 JulissaL: lol
2007.08.07 09:25:58 AlexandrMB: or just the school internet on our laptops
2007.08.07 09:25:59 DanikaB nods to Aaron
2007.08.07 09:26:02 CatherineZ high fives Aracelia!
2007.08.07 09:26:15 DanikaB hopes everyone has figured out where the online supplements for this class are....
2007.08.07 09:26:18 DanikaB smiles
2007.08.07 09:26:19 AraceliaG: high 5
2007.08.07 09:26:30 XochitlP joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:26:35 AaronF: Ive worked at CLTT for 4 years now, and every sememster without fail, several students come in halfway through the semester and say they didnt even know they were on WebCT
2007.08.07 09:26:43 DanikaB: ayayay
2007.08.07 09:26:48 SamanthaRG: even better grassrt press releases by voice
2007.08.07 09:27:13 DanikaB nods at samantha... podcasts and voice tools have a lot of community applications, i think
2007.08.07 09:27:20 DanikaB loves podcasts
2007.08.07 09:27:35 AaronF: Oh yeah guys ive included a slideshare that includes some general information on WIMBA
2007.08.07 09:27:35 SamanthaRG: i love free podcasts

2007.08.07 09:28:21 JoseRH: if i had one
2007.08.07 09:28:24 LudivinaV: with professor cole we did voice recorded message assignments through webct
2007.08.07 09:28:24 DanikaB: Aaron, i'd love to talk more to you about tech tools available. i'm also thinking that since next semester, my course (this one) only meets once a week, i won't be able to use TI extensively, i'd like to have a presentation or two on what is available....
2007.08.07 09:28:46 DanikaB nods to Ludi, Cole is teaching this fall entirely online
2007.08.07 09:28:49 DanikaB: from jakarta
2007.08.07 09:29:04 SamanthaRG: jakarta cool
2007.08.07 09:29:05 AaronF: Well Wimba would defenitely be a good choice

2007.08.07 09:32:17 DanikaB: the technology them continues. excellent
2007.08.07 09:32:22 VictoriaNG left the room.
2007.08.07 09:32:23 CatherineZ: How many of you future educators would like a resource that is full of useful information for you to use as a teacher?
2007.08.07 09:32:26 AlexandrMB: morning
2007.08.07 09:32:33 EduardoG joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:32:38 AraceliaG: me
2007.08.07 09:32:40 AdrianB: me
2007.08.07 09:32:41 CarolynJC: listening....
2007.08.07 09:32:41 LourdesR: good mornign
2007.08.07 09:32:41 DanikaB raises hand for yes
2007.08.07 09:32:42 AnabellR: me
2007.08.07 09:32:44 RubenB: me
2007.08.07 09:32:45 AndreaZ: me
2007.08.07 09:32:47 DianaG: me 2
2007.08.07 09:32:51 CatherineZ: Great! I have just the thing that will help to make your transition from student to teacher less stressful in numerous ways.
2007.08.07 09:33:02 CatherineZ: The teaching resource that I found is called TeAchnology and even calls itself “The Online Teacher Resource.” It has TONS of free & easy to access resources for teachers. I think this site might just be the epitome of an educator’s all access pass with information at your fingertips. It is full of things from lesson plans to rubrics and everything in between.
2007.08.07 09:33:02 LourdesR: sure
2007.08.07 09:33:02 AlexandrMB: how???
2007.08.07 09:33:21 VictoriaNG joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:33:27 AlexandrMB: sounds good
2007.08.07 09:33:36 CatherineZ: I would like to show you all just ONE of the activities that I found most interesting, so be aware that there are SO MANY more to choose from. More difficult ones could be used for students in the higher grades while more simple or basic could be used for the younger ones. But, for now, let’s have a look at one particular example of what this website has to offer…
2007.08.07 09:34:03 DanikaB waits
2007.08.07 09:34:10 CatherineZ: Plese go to this website: http://www.teach-nology.com/
2007.08.07 09:34:17 MarcS: cool
2007.08.07 09:34:28 DianaG: k
2007.08.07 09:34:30 DanikaB notes that you can get that from the featured discussion of Cathy's
2007.08.07 09:34:32 SamanthaRG: deja vu
2007.08.07 09:34:42 CatherineZ: Everyone please click on the heading titled “Worksheets”
2007.08.07 09:34:51 CatherineZ: Notice how the free worksheets are divided by categories. Find “Critical Thinking” and click on it. Next, click on the on “Logic Puzzle” & find worksheet #13 titled “Where’s The Gold?” Be aware: Lots of brain power is needed here!!!
2007.08.07 09:34:51 SamanthaRG: did it
2007.08.07 09:35:11 DanikaB smiles
2007.08.07 09:35:12 CatherineZ: Now, I will give you 1 minute or 2 to try and find the answer to this particular Brain Teaser! Don’t over think it!!
2007.08.07 09:36:16 SamanthaRG: ahh totally shipwrecked
2007.08.07 09:36:20 CatherineZ: Are you ready for the answer???
2007.08.07 09:36:31 DianaG: yup
2007.08.07 09:36:46 CatherineZ: If you read it carefully, you will see that the problem cannot be solved with the information given. See if this logic helps you to better understand the reason behind that:
2007.08.07 09:36:59 CatherineZ: The following argument can be made: If the statement on box A is true, then
2007.08.07 09:36:59 CatherineZ: the statement on box B is true, since that is what the statement on box A
2007.08.07 09:36:59 CatherineZ: says. But the statement on box B states that the statement on box A is false,
2007.08.07 09:36:59 CatherineZ: which contradicts the original assumption. Therefore, the statement on box A
2007.08.07 09:36:59 CatherineZ: must be false. This implies that either the statement on box B is false or
2007.08.07 09:36:59 CatherineZ: that the gold is in box B. If the statement on box B is false, then either
2007.08.07 09:36:59 CatherineZ: the statement on box A is true (which it cannot be) or the gold is in box B.
2007.08.07 09:36:59 CatherineZ: Either way, the gold is in box B.
2007.08.07 09:37:08 MarcS: whoa
2007.08.07 09:37:16 SonyaAndrV: huh
2007.08.07 09:37:17 SonyaAndrV: lol
2007.08.07 09:37:17 DianaG: ic
2007.08.07 09:37:17 CatherineZ: sorry!
2007.08.07 09:37:18 CatherineZ smiles
2007.08.07 09:37:23 JoAnnaG: lol
2007.08.07 09:37:24 CatherineZ: lemme break it down
2007.08.07 09:37:26 DanikaB furrows brow
2007.08.07 09:37:29 AlexandrMB: ummm...
2007.08.07 09:37:37 CatherineZ: The following argument can be made: If the statement on box A is true, then
2007.08.07 09:37:37 CatherineZ: the statement on box B is true, since that is what the statement on box A
2007.08.07 09:37:37 CatherineZ: says.
2007.08.07 09:37:47 EduardoG left the room (signed off).
2007.08.07 09:37:52 CatherineZ: But the statement on box B states that the statement on box A is false,
2007.08.07 09:37:52 CatherineZ: which contradicts the original assumption.
2007.08.07 09:38:02 XochitlP: oh logic...that class it pretty hard
2007.08.07 09:38:07 CatherineZ: Therefore, the statement on box A
2007.08.07 09:38:07 CatherineZ: must be false.
2007.08.07 09:38:16 CatherineZ: This implies that either the statement on box B is false or
2007.08.07 09:38:16 CatherineZ: that the gold is in box B.
2007.08.07 09:38:22 SamanthaRG: cool
2007.08.07 09:38:26 XochitlP: but i also used some online resource and ut helped me get an A
2007.08.07 09:38:27 DanikaB nods and gets it
2007.08.07 09:38:32 CatherineZ: If the statement on box B is false, then either
2007.08.07 09:38:32 CatherineZ: the statement on box A is true (which it cannot be) or the gold is in box B.
2007.08.07 09:38:32 CatherineZ: Either way, the gold is in box B.
2007.08.07 09:38:49 XochitlP . o O ( but i dont remember anything )
2007.08.07 09:38:52 CatherineZ: Common sense dictates that this problem cannot be solved with the information
2007.08.07 09:38:52 CatherineZ: given. After all, how can we deduce which box contains the gold simply by
2007.08.07 09:38:52 CatherineZ: reading statements written on the outside of the box?
2007.08.07 09:39:01 EduardoG joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:39:11 CatherineZ: Suppose we deduce that
2007.08.07 09:39:11 CatherineZ: the gold is in box B by whatever line of reasoning we choose.
2007.08.07 09:39:22 CatherineZ: What is to stop
2007.08.07 09:39:22 CatherineZ: us from simply putting the gold in box A, regardless of what we deduced?
2007.08.07 09:39:32 CatherineZ: So there you have it. That’s the reason why.
2007.08.07 09:39:39 CatherineZ smiles
2007.08.07 09:39:51 CatherineZ: This is just one of the MANY interesting things that this website has to offer!
2007.08.07 09:39:53 DanikaB smiles.... thinks about the relationship of language to truth
2007.08.07 09:40:04 JacquelyPH joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:40:12 CatherineZ: Feel free to explore and take advantage of the large number of other things that may be of use to you future educators!!
2007.08.07 09:40:33 VictoriaNG: i like the free worksheets
2007.08.07 09:40:38 DanikaB: Cathy, how might you use this brainteaser activity in a specific class?
2007.08.07 09:40:46 LourdesR: now that was something
2007.08.07 09:40:52 DanikaB: i mean, would you build on other skills through it?
2007.08.07 09:41:01 DanikaB is thinking how she might use it
2007.08.07 09:41:11 CatherineZ: It could be used as a kind of warm up activity just to get the brain juices pumping in the morning
2007.08.07 09:41:17 DanikaB nods
2007.08.07 09:41:23 CatherineZ: Makes students think "outside the box"
2007.08.07 09:41:26 JoAnnaG: yup
2007.08.07 09:41:30 DanikaB: that makes sense... like an intellectual calesthenic
2007.08.07 09:41:37 DanikaB doesn't think she spelled that right
2007.08.07 09:41:40 CatherineZ: Also, makes them see that the answer won't always be readily available
2007.08.07 09:41:42 AndreaZ: my 5th grade teacher used to do that
2007.08.07 09:41:50 EduardoG: lol
2007.08.07 09:41:50 DanikaB nods... excellent points
2007.08.07 09:41:57 CatherineZ: Sometimes, things need to be investigated some more
2007.08.07 09:42:10 SamanthaRG: theres more than 1 way 2 skin a cat
2007.08.07 09:42:26 DanikaB: so your pedagogical principle would be to blow your students' minds to get them into learning!
2007.08.07 09:42:36 CatherineZ smiles
2007.08.07 09:42:39 CatherineZ: perhaps
2007.08.07 09:42:43 DanikaB smiles
2007.08.07 09:42:44 AlexandrMB: it keeps them interested
2007.08.07 09:42:50 AlexandrMB left the room (signed off).
2007.08.07 09:42:56 DanikaB laughs
2007.08.07 09:42:57 CatherineZ: I also like the THEMES part of this site
2007.08.07 09:43:05 DanikaB: looks like alexandra lost interest all of a sudden!
2007.08.07 09:43:10 SamanthaRG: lol
2007.08.07 09:43:11 MarcS: hahaha
2007.08.07 09:43:11 CatherineZ: It offers a long of greast ideas!
2007.08.07 09:43:11 CarolynJC: well i was looking around the websites and found some other helpful information
2007.08.07 09:43:13 DanikaB looks at the themes section
2007.08.07 09:43:13 JacquelyPH left the room (signed off).
2007.08.07 09:43:17 CarolynJC: for the little ones
2007.08.07 09:43:20 AlexandrMB joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:43:32 CatherineZ: Themes related to computers and Language Arts, Math and Social Studies
2007.08.07 09:43:38 SamanthaRG: snooping around i like this one...http://search.teach-nology.com/today/today2.pl
2007.08.07 09:43:53 SamanthaRG: use any date
2007.08.07 09:44:21 CatherineZ: Glad to see you are searching!
2007.08.07 09:44:47 CatherineZ: I hope you all can benefit from what this site has to offer one way or another...
2007.08.07 09:45:05 AraceliaG: I like the back to school songs i will sing them with my students
2007.08.07 09:45:17 DanikaB nods... there are clearly lots of resources here. I think another presenter showed us other areas of the site.
2007.08.07 09:45:28 CatherineZ: Ohhh ok.
2007.08.07 09:45:30 CatherineZ: oops
2007.08.07 09:45:32 CatherineZ smiles
2007.08.07 09:45:36 DanikaB believes this has been a tested great site!
2007.08.07 09:45:40 MarcS: yeah i thought this looked familiar
2007.08.07 09:45:45 SamanthaRG: is cool man
2007.08.07 09:45:48 GracielaC joined the room.
2007.08.07 09:45:56 AdrianB: yes great site
2007.08.07 09:45:58 DanikaB: that's perfect to me... if we are looking at resources multiple times with different applications, that suggests the site really is useful
2007.08.07 09:45:59 CatherineZ: Sorry, again. I just searched and came across it! I didn't even think of that!
2007.08.07 09:46:00 SamanthaRG: i think we did rubics here
2007.08.07 09:46:19 SamanthaRG: no worries man i like even more now
2007.08.07 09:46:24 DanikaB: no, really, these resources have so much on them, it is great to look at them from different angles.
2007.08.07 09:46:32 CatherineZ blushes
2007.08.07 09:46:35 CatherineZ: ok.
2007.08.07 09:46:41 CatherineZ: Thanks!
2007.08.07 09:46:45 JoseRH: ohhhh blushes
2007.08.07 09:46:48 DanikaB smiles and reassures Cathy that she did a great job!
2007.08.07 09:46:53 DianaG: good work!!!

2007.08.07 10:11:55 DianaG: interesting

2007.08.07 10:13:30 HilarioP: i know we as teachers are always expected to align our curriculum with standards, and this gives us the tool to do so
2007.08.07 10:13:30 XochitlP: how do u see the video

2007.08.07 10:15:04 EduardoG: for some reason the surrounding in this website isn't as professional or serious as some other ones that deal with standards. Thanks Hilario
2007.08.07 10:15:04 DanikaB: Hilario, who introduced you to this site?
2007.08.07 10:15:05 JovanaG: cool
2007.08.07 10:15:19 LourdesR: how interesting I am now exposed to another good site
2007.08.07 10:15:33 HilarioP: my sister who is also a teacher-5th grade Social Studies
2007.08.07 10:15:35 DanikaB is wondering if anyone found out how much it costs for the non-free parts
2007.08.07 10:15:41 HilarioP: she uses it extensively with her students

2007.08.07 10:16:57 HilarioP: they also created a Brain Pop Junior for K-3rd grade
2007.08.07 10:16:58 DanikaB: given that some of these sites cost for membership, it seems to me you would really want to analyze them and weigh your own goals/approaches in terms of what they do so you can select one that works for you best
