2007.07.19 07:36:55 DanikaB: well, it sort of depends on the instructor, the
environment used, and things like that, Liza
2007.07.19 07:37:02 DanikaB: this is what my online courses are like
2007.07.19 07:37:07 SandraFl: I was wondering if I could have a copy of yesterday's

2007.07.19 07:39:04 JoseJC wonders what Greg is doing
2007.07.19 07:39:05 MariaBa: Yes, we're ready to listen

2007.07.19 07:39:27 JoseJC chuckles.
2007.07.19 07:39:32 DanikaB: remember, i don't expect everyone to think this
is the greatest thing ever, nor do i think everyone will get everything here...

2007.07.19 07:40:08 JoseJC: what? long distance communication isn't the greatest
thing ever? :(((
2007.07.19 07:40:10 DanikaB: it's just important that we try and see what happens...
that makes us more aware of different ways to teach and learn, and the limitations
that come up with this sort of stuff.
2007.07.19 07:40:15 JasmineR: i will be in room 259 in the english building
after class
2007.07.19 07:40:15 DanikaB smiles

2007.07.19 07:41:15 MariaBa: I'm kind of nervous of the presentations online.
First time
2007.07.19 07:41:20 JoanieP: We are ususally quiet in class, this is quite fun
2007.07.19 07:41:23 DanikaB: Good, we've just noticed the first way this might
change the way we learn or interact
2007.07.19 07:41:26 JoseJC: there's a second part to this?
2007.07.19 07:41:28 JoseJC: WHERE
2007.07.19 07:41:33 LizaR: ?
2007.07.19 07:41:36 DanikaB: sandra, i wasn't aware there was a second part
2007.07.19 07:41:39 JoseJC: oh

2007.07.19 07:41:42 RicardoT: yeah i wanna know
2007.07.19 07:41:43 JoseJC: er
2007.07.19 07:41:43 JoseJC: </3
2007.07.19 07:41:51 JoanieP smiles
2007.07.19 07:42:14 GregMar sits in front of a computer
2007.07.19 07:42:18 AidaM is thinking
2007.07.19 07:42:26 DanikaB: okay, while we are getting used to the environment,
i am going to ask you to "multitask" and look at the article for today....
2007.07.19 07:42:28 JoseJC: mm this is great, I want some different music now,
ho what's this some SALSA
2007.07.19 07:42:37 SandraFl: maybe I am mistaken...the girl who recomended
I take this class asked me yesterday if I'd be taking the second part of this
class in the fall...oh! well!
2007.07.19 07:42:41 DanikaB: can you Find the single sentence in the article
that covers the main purpose and idea of the article.
2007.07.19 07:43:01 DanikaB: i don't think there is a second part of the class.
2007.07.19 07:43:08 MariaBa: I think this class will help us all with communicating
technology wise
2007.07.19 07:43:15 DanikaB: but if there is, i am evidently not teaching it!
2007.07.19 07:43:15 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 07:43:21 AissaT: wouldn't it be the first sentence after the quote?
2007.07.19 07:43:22 JacquelyPH: The first sentence
2007.07.19 07:43:25 RicardoT: if we printed it will that work too?
2007.07.19 07:43:31 JoanieP: computing is not just a new technology or a new
medium or communicaiton?
2007.07.19 07:43:36 JoseJC: no rick you HAVE to look at it online >:D
2007.07.19 07:43:40 SandraFl: Just as technology is influencing language and
reading, it has already had an impact on writing and teaching writitng??
2007.07.19 07:43:51 JoseJC: I'd say writing, yeah
2007.07.19 07:43:55 DanikaB: that's a possible oen, but i think there is another
one that more broadly captures the arguments in the article.
2007.07.19 07:43:56 JoseJC: people LOVE posting blogs
2007.07.19 07:44:02 ErikaC I'm back
2007.07.19 07:44:03 JessicaG joined the room.
2007.07.19 07:44:06 JoseJC: LIveJournals, etc
2007.07.19 07:44:07 JacquelyPH: hmmm....
2007.07.19 07:44:10 DanikaB: welcome back
2007.07.19 07:44:12 JoseJC: even I have one :3
2007.07.19 07:44:14 AidaM: It is where it say Teachers using technology in thier
English language ares classrroms are ...
2007.07.19 07:44:16 ElizabetCh: Teachers using technology in their English language
arts classrooms are not only improving their instruction for their students,
thy are changin the nature of that instruction.
2007.07.19 07:44:21 JoseJC: oh
2007.07.19 07:44:34 RicardoT: i would have to agree with that
2007.07.19 07:44:34 DanikaB: well, the article is all about principles of using
technologies, though, isn't it?
2007.07.19 07:44:48 RicardoT: that too
2007.07.19 07:44:51 JoanieP: yes
2007.07.19 07:44:59 DanikaB: the article makes a few more specific arguments
than that first sentence.
2007.07.19 07:45:10 DanikaB: so, look deeper for a sum up sentence, please
2007.07.19 07:45:11 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 07:45:34 JoseJC: Teaching and learning English languuage arts is
our goal; technology is a means by which we can reach that goal. <-- I'd
say that's it
2007.07.19 07:45:48 DanikaB: what page is that on Jose?
2007.07.19 07:45:55 JoseJC: let us see, on the third page
2007.07.19 07:45:57 LuceroM: well I think tha t the first sentence of the article
reveals the purpose and every thing it is going to talk about.
2007.07.19 07:46:03 JoseJC: under Discussion of Principles
2007.07.19 07:46:09 ElizabetCh: People from different parts of the world can
post responses
2007.07.19 07:46:23 DanikaB: but that first sentence, lucero, doesn't address
the principles the article covers
2007.07.19 07:46:35 DanikaB: what does the article argue for?
2007.07.19 07:46:39 DanikaB: what are they suggesting?
2007.07.19 07:46:44 MariaBa: The new technology will help us process and organizae
information to a new form of language.
2007.07.19 07:46:44 GregMar: yeah, its so cool, especially for us
2007.07.19 07:46:47 SandraFl: You know, I have never been very good at this,
I guess because I was just kind of afraid to try it, but I am actually enjoying
this...the use of technology is very important/crucial...I am glad your making
us do this Danika
2007.07.19 07:46:49 JacquelyPH: These new teachers must be ready to step into
the status quo as well as to advance the profession by infusing technology into
their teaching.
2007.07.19 07:46:56 AissaT: technology should be integrated more in teaching
2007.07.19 07:46:57 DanikaB smiles at Sandra
2007.07.19 07:47:09 DanikaB: okay, but just any old way Aissa?
2007.07.19 07:47:16 DanikaB: or do they have specific ideas in mind?
2007.07.19 07:47:34 AissaT: yes they do, they give 3 ideas
2007.07.19 07:47:34 DanikaB: who is the article addressed to? i mean, who is
the audience?
2007.07.19 07:47:44 DanikaB: just 3?
2007.07.19 07:47:58 JoseJC: I like this one too "No longer will the teacter
be the dispenser of information; teachers and students will be learners together."
reminds me of what I learned last semester about Freiere
2007.07.19 07:47:59 LizaR: to evry1
2007.07.19 07:48:02 SandraFl: future teachers
2007.07.19 07:48:03 AissaT: well not alot more in every principle
2007.07.19 07:48:04 SylviaMe: the students
2007.07.19 07:48:09 DanikaB: i think you are looking at 3 examples, but the
article is all about "Principles" right?
2007.07.19 07:48:11 JoanieP: future elementary teachers
2007.07.19 07:48:11 JoseJC: I'd say the teachers
2007.07.19 07:48:12 LoriOl: teachers and students
2007.07.19 07:48:12 RicardoT: to teachers
2007.07.19 07:48:13 ElizabetCh: anyone
2007.07.19 07:48:14 AidaM: Teachers and people that want to become teachers
2007.07.19 07:48:19 JoseJC: yeah
2007.07.19 07:48:20 AissaT: yes
2007.07.19 07:48:21 JoseJC: d@
2007.07.19 07:48:22 DanikaB: is it to teachers?
2007.07.19 07:48:26 NoraEG: future teachers
2007.07.19 07:48:32 MariaBa: The audience is the new teacher coming in; the
educators
2007.07.19 07:48:32 SylviaMe: future teachers yes
2007.07.19 07:48:37 ErikaC: its to everone who can make a diffrence
2007.07.19 07:48:37 JacquelyPH: the people teaching future language arts teachers
2007.07.19 07:48:38 JoseJC: oh
2007.07.19 07:48:39 DanikaB: hmmmm.
2007.07.19 07:48:39 JoseJC: gaga
2007.07.19 07:48:40 JoseJC: waut
2007.07.19 07:48:41 GregMar looks at the fast typing
2007.07.19 07:48:41 JoseJC: haha
2007.07.19 07:48:43 DanikaB: are you sure?
2007.07.19 07:48:45 JoseJC: the TITLE
2007.07.19 07:48:46 JoseJC: says
2007.07.19 07:48:54 JoseJC: Preparing Tomorrow's English Teachers
2007.07.19 07:48:56 LizaR: info to public about the benefits..
2007.07.19 07:48:57 DanikaB nods
2007.07.19 07:48:58 JoseJC: it's for professors
2007.07.19 07:49:01 AidaM: This is what the tiltle says
2007.07.19 07:49:03 DanikaB: good Jose
2007.07.19 07:49:03 JoseJC: teacher educators
2007.07.19 07:49:03 AissaT: well Enlish Language Arts teachers
2007.07.19 07:49:07 JoseJC: that's the audience
2007.07.19 07:49:11 DanikaB: it's actually addressed to teachers of teachers
2007.07.19 07:49:23 JoseJC looks pleased with himself.
2007.07.19 07:49:28 DanikaB: and, as the title suggests,
2007.07.19 07:49:30 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 07:49:36 LizaR: oic
2007.07.19 07:49:41 JosephAW joined the room.
2007.07.19 07:49:41 LoriOl: teacher of teachers....so its addressed to you Dr.
Brown
2007.07.19 07:49:43 SylviaMe: oh yeah
2007.07.19 07:49:47 DanikaB: the article is giving principles for preparing
teachers to learn to use technology
2007.07.19 07:49:48 MariaBa: If teachers know the technology this will benefit
the students
2007.07.19 07:49:51 DanikaB nods at lori
2007.07.19 07:49:52 AidaM: yes, that is true
2007.07.19 07:49:54 DanikaB: exactly
2007.07.19 07:50:03 DanikaB: so,
2007.07.19 07:50:05 SandraFl: Page 2, PRINCIPLES OF TECH...
2007.07.19 07:50:10 JasmineR: which is what you are putting into practice at
this very moment Dr. B
2007.07.19 07:50:12 ErikaC: so your doing a good job
2007.07.19 07:50:18 RicardoT: indeed
2007.07.19 07:50:21 DanikaB: given that... look at the conclusion, and the sentence:
2007.07.19 07:50:42 DanikaB: Using the principles we offer above, we suggest
that English language arts methods classes can infuse technology in a way that
does not interfere with the content pedagogy but supports it in a way that actively
involves students and prepares them with the technical and pedagogical skills
for creating the new learning-centered classroom.
2007.07.19 07:50:55 MariaBa: Hats off to Dr. Brown
2007.07.19 07:50:58 DanikaB grins
2007.07.19 07:51:04 DanikaB: we'll see if i'm doing a good job or not
2007.07.19 07:51:24 DanikaB: so, do you agree that that sentence more fully
captures the main argument of the article?
2007.07.19 07:51:26 JoanieP: Professor, while reading this article, I thought
of the Valley. Many schools do not have computer usage
2007.07.19 07:51:33 AissaT: yes
2007.07.19 07:51:33 DanikaB nods
2007.07.19 07:51:36 NoraEG: yes
2007.07.19 07:51:43 JasmineR: yes
2007.07.19 07:51:47 RicardoT: thats true
2007.07.19 07:51:49 ErikaC: many teachers are ognorant to computer usage
2007.07.19 07:51:50 SylviaMe: that is true
2007.07.19 07:51:51 AidaM: Yes, you are right
2007.07.19 07:51:57 DanikaB: you are right, Joanie... that's an issue. and one
we need to actively address... one of the principles takes that issue on, which
one?
2007.07.19 07:52:08 JasmineR: it is the main premise of the article or argument
2007.07.19 07:52:09 JoanieP: I do enjoy the readings, but if anyone becomes
a teacher in the valley we will have very little access to computers for our
class
2007.07.19 07:52:10 JacquelyPH: I agree that that sentence better summorizes
the main idea
2007.07.19 07:52:18 LizaR: 7
2007.07.19 07:52:18 ErikaC: Will we get a copy of this transcript
2007.07.19 07:52:26 DanikaB: right liza, the last one.
2007.07.19 07:52:35 LoriOl: num.7
2007.07.19 07:52:41 MariaBa: I think this class will help us throughtout the
Education Blocks
2007.07.19 07:52:44 AidaM: yes Erica in your e-mail
2007.07.19 07:52:45 DanikaB: yes, erika, you will be emailed a transcript, and
i will post a copy on the class website.
2007.07.19 07:52:52 GregMar: it will get sent to your email
2007.07.19 07:52:52 ElizabetCh: I spoke to a teacher yesterday and her response
to this class was disappointing. she said that this was not going to be used
in teaching students.
2007.07.19 07:52:56 ErikaC: thanks
2007.07.19 07:53:07 DanikaB: okay, so if that is the main point ....
2007.07.19 07:53:09 JoanieP: Well, it depends where you go.
2007.07.19 07:53:16 DanikaB stops and thinks about what elizabeth said.
2007.07.19 07:53:24 JoanieP: I plan to leave the valley, and this class is very
helpful
2007.07.19 07:53:34 JacquelyPH: what kind of teacher?
2007.07.19 07:53:44 ErikaC: I know of tachers who are having to input grades
on computers, this is elementary
2007.07.19 07:54:00 ElizabetCh: I think its helping me
2007.07.19 07:54:16 MariaBa: not only that but lesson plans too
2007.07.19 07:54:21 GregMar: there still should be a written copy of grades
2007.07.19 07:54:25 ErikaC: and they are having a hard time learning how to
because they were ignorant of how to
2007.07.19 07:54:28 DanikaB: so, the teacher doesn't think that understanding
pedagogy and principles of teaching writing (including the possible use of technology,
not only for your students, but for YOU as a professional educator) is worth
learning?
2007.07.19 07:54:30 SylviaMe: how does that teacher know what kind of class
this is?
2007.07.19 07:54:38 AidaM: Oh, also in high school, technology is becoming very
popular these days
2007.07.19 07:54:40 JoanieP: I am loving tapped in, its giving me ideas on how
to intergrate technology into the class room, pluse the readings I have recieved
2007.07.19 07:54:40 LoriOl: if thats the main point, then teachers should access
all kinds of technology, but realize that students have limitation in accessing
them.
2007.07.19 07:54:44 SandraFl: I think though that they are making an effort
to get more computers although it would be wonderful if all students had the
same opportunity...my six yr. old has been in school since she was three (headstart),
but most of the children i know her age have not had the opportunity to expirience
this
2007.07.19 07:54:48 ElizabetCh: She told me no
2007.07.19 07:55:04 DanikaB: and what do you think?
2007.07.19 07:55:06 NikkiC: what was her argument
2007.07.19 07:55:09 LizaR: Wat?!
2007.07.19 07:55:21 GregMar: yeah
2007.07.19 07:55:25 ElizabetCh: I don't know what she's doing there if she doesn't
think it's worth it.
2007.07.19 07:55:29 JasmineR: i think technology is the world's future especially
in the education system, therefore; we do need to be ahead of ourselves as future
teachers so that we can teach our students
2007.07.19 07:55:33 ErikaC: my child is only 4, and I have already introduced
the computer to her
2007.07.19 07:55:44 DanikaB is listening to your interesting reflections
2007.07.19 07:55:47 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 07:55:59 ErikaC: she is in the stage of imitation and she wants to
do everything mommy does
2007.07.19 07:56:03 ErikaC: that includes reading
2007.07.19 07:56:06 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 07:56:13 DanikaB thinks mommy should do good things!
2007.07.19 07:56:14 RicardoT: my nephew knows more about this stuff than i do
2007.07.19 07:56:21 ErikaC: indeed
2007.07.19 07:56:22 JacquelyPH: is your child able to use the computer alright?
2007.07.19 07:56:25 LoriOl: technology is nice and all but takes away from human
interaction....how are children supposed to learn to interact
2007.07.19 07:56:27 MariaBa: I know that teacher she's been teaching for many
years
2007.07.19 07:56:30 ErikaC: everything she does reflects on me
2007.07.19 07:56:44 ErikaC: she has an avtech computer,
2007.07.19 07:56:49 ElizabetCh: I have to ask my girls for help sometimes
2007.07.19 07:57:01 ErikaC: I bought it at Toys R Us and it introduces the ABC's
and numbers
2007.07.19 07:57:18 ErikaC: she uses my computer onces in a while with games
2007.07.19 07:57:18 DanikaB: well, Lori, one possibility is that we are doing
a lot more interacting through technology, so we need to learn to use it to
foster genuine interaction. and, it's important to also have face to face interaction
2007.07.19 07:57:21 SandraFl: Erika does your baby go to headstart...just wondering...it
is honestly a wonderful program for those of us who have had the luck to qualify...
2007.07.19 07:57:29 NoraEG: I agree with jasmine
2007.07.19 07:57:33 DanikaB: that's why i don't teach this course entirely online
2007.07.19 07:57:43 JessicaG: I have a a 7 year old son and I totally agree
with this new technology, my son already knows how to use the computer and even
access the internet without me even helping him; its amazing how children at
a very young age can grasp about anything. Students will benefit from our technology.
2007.07.19 07:57:43 GregMar: cool, a literacy, electronic teaching device
2007.07.19 07:57:47 RicardoT: we need the human part of this class
2007.07.19 07:57:54 MariaBa: The older teachers are not too happy with technology
2007.07.19 07:57:56 DanikaB nods to ricardo.
2007.07.19 07:58:04 LoriOl: i can understand that.....
2007.07.19 07:58:10 ErikaC: No, my poor kid stays at home all day, but she finds
things to do
2007.07.19 07:58:12 DanikaB: me too
2007.07.19 07:58:13 JoseJC: back in my day we had to use an abacus!
2007.07.19 07:58:18 JoseJC shakes his cane menacingly.
2007.07.19 07:58:18 DanikaB laughs
2007.07.19 07:58:30 AidaM: that is true because there are still teachers that
know nothing about technology
2007.07.19 07:58:30 LizaR: wat we learn durng online tym is helpful 4 those
f us who werent familiar
2007.07.19 07:58:42 JoanieP: LOL
2007.07.19 07:58:55 DanikaB: okay, so technology is clearly not obvious in terms
of being good or bad... we have to actively critique what is going on with our
uses of technology
2007.07.19 07:58:56 GregMar: there old school
2007.07.19 07:59:14 RicardoT: i love the idea of teachers learning along with
students
2007.07.19 07:59:22 ElizabetCh: We need to know everything we can about technology
2007.07.19 07:59:26 DanikaB: but, like anything, it's important that we know
the technologies and possible uses before we can actually critique them, right?
2007.07.19 07:59:26 LoriOl: whether or not the teacher has the ability to use
todays technology is no excuse to not do well in the class though
2007.07.19 07:59:27 MariaBa: that's why it is important for us to be updated
with technology
2007.07.19 07:59:46 LizaR: true
2007.07.19 07:59:48 ElizabetCh: I agree
2007.07.19 07:59:49 JessicaG: I agree
2007.07.19 07:59:54 JosephAW: I went to Monte Alto. I am not sure that they
are not still using the abacus.
2007.07.19 07:59:56 NoraEG: I agree
2007.07.19 07:59:56 DanikaB: i agree Lori... so, we can agree that technology
is simply one component of a pedagogy
2007.07.19 07:59:56 JasmineR: i think that technology not only helps our students
but also helps us as future teachers, it simplifies things for us
2007.07.19 08:00:06 DanikaB laughs at Joseph's comment
2007.07.19 08:00:09 RobertMar joined the room.
2007.07.19 08:00:19 LizaR: y
2007.07.19 08:00:21 DanikaB: okay, so, let's look at the principles a little
bit...
2007.07.19 08:00:23 LoriOl: yeah i agree with that
2007.07.19 08:00:26 JoanieP: Ok Joseph you are making me feel my age
2007.07.19 08:00:27 JoanieP frowns
2007.07.19 08:00:29 GregMar looks at everyone agreeing
2007.07.19 08:00:31 DanikaB: if the article is suggesting to ME, as the professor
preparing you...
2007.07.19 08:00:34 JoseJC: pfft
2007.07.19 08:00:39 JoseJC: just remember
2007.07.19 08:00:40 DanikaB: that I should use these principles, am i?
2007.07.19 08:00:43 JoseJC: no one is old on the internet
2007.07.19 08:00:45 JoanieP: Yes
2007.07.19 08:00:46 ErikaC: yes
2007.07.19 08:00:48 DanikaB: in each principle, there is an "example"
2007.07.19 08:00:48 JasmineR: yes
2007.07.19 08:00:48 LizaR: y
2007.07.19 08:00:54 ElizabetCh: of course
2007.07.19 08:00:59 LoriOl: then it is preparing you to prepare us....ironic
2007.07.19 08:01:01 MariaBa: what is the abucas
2007.07.19 08:01:02 AidaM: oh, yes you are
2007.07.19 08:01:04 JessicaG: yes....
2007.07.19 08:01:05 ErikaC: you are focusing on technology as well as following
pedegogy
2007.07.19 08:01:06 DanikaB: so, let's look at a principle or two and see what
examples from our class we can come up with.
2007.07.19 08:01:12 KevinMG joined the room.
2007.07.19 08:01:15 JacquelyPH: ok
2007.07.19 08:01:16 DanikaB: that is, let's analyze my use of technology
2007.07.19 08:01:28 DanikaB: does anyone want to choose a principle to start
with?
2007.07.19 08:01:29 JoseJC: http://www.brianmicklethwait.com/education/archives/Abacus.gif

2007.07.19 08:01:42 ElizabetCh: online class
2007.07.19 08:01:42 JoanieP: LOL
2007.07.19 08:01:46 JoseJC: well you introduced it
2007.07.19 08:01:47 JoseJC: with tapped in
2007.07.19 08:01:49 LoriOl: how about 7
2007.07.19 08:01:49 ErikaC: princip[le 1
2007.07.19 08:01:50 LizaR: 2
2007.07.19 08:01:51 DanikaB smiles at Jose who is already using this space to
provide resources for discussion
2007.07.19 08:01:53 JoseJC: you infused our classroom
2007.07.19 08:01:57 JoseJC: YES
2007.07.19 08:01:59 JoseJC: I do that a lot
2007.07.19 08:02:09 LizaR: prin 2
2007.07.19 08:02:10 JoseJC: since the internet is at my disposal
2007.07.19 08:02:16 DanikaB: Yes, Lori, i think 7 would be an important one.
perhaps we should start with another one first though
2007.07.19 08:02:18 JasmineR: principle 1: introduce and infuse technology in
context
2007.07.19 08:02:20 MariaBa: wow that was fast
2007.07.19 08:02:31 AidaM: also prin 3
2007.07.19 08:02:34 LoriOl: ok....
2007.07.19 08:02:37 DanikaB: i do want to get to 7.
2007.07.19 08:02:43 ErikaC: how so in context
2007.07.19 08:02:44 DanikaB smiles at Lori
2007.07.19 08:02:56 DanikaB: okay, which principle are we looking at?
2007.07.19 08:03:01 JacquelyPH: prin 1. you introduced tappedin to us
2007.07.19 08:03:08 DanikaB: erika and jasmine suggested 1
2007.07.19 08:03:10 JasmineR: im looking at prin. 1
2007.07.19 08:03:11 JoseJC: we could start with one, like I had said, she has
a page online, and she also introduces TappedIn
2007.07.19 08:03:13 NoraEG: pric 1
2007.07.19 08:03:14 JoseJC: and that's much more
2007.07.19 08:03:24 JoseJC: because most schools force you to use WebCT
2007.07.19 08:03:31 JoseJC: and most teachers/professors aren't really into
it
2007.07.19 08:03:34 RicardoT: i hate that
2007.07.19 08:03:35 JacquelyPH: boo for webct
2007.07.19 08:03:36 ErikaC: how about when doing this to young children?
2007.07.19 08:03:40 JoanieP: I donot like WebCT
2007.07.19 08:03:41 JasmineR: i have a question?
2007.07.19 08:03:46 ErikaC: how do you introduce it as context
2007.07.19 08:03:53 JoseJC: well Erika you have to take into account your classroom
as well :p
2007.07.19 08:03:59 JosephAW: I think that the infusion of technology has greatly
expanded my education.
2007.07.19 08:03:59 GregMar: boos webct
2007.07.19 08:04:03 JasmineR: waht does "sine qua non" mean, it is
the first sentence of prin.1
2007.07.19 08:04:07 DanikaB: okay, the principle says both content and to be
aware of "different developmental" levels of the students (YOU) in
using technology
2007.07.19 08:04:24 JoseJC: Sine qua non or conditio sine qua non was originally
a Latin legal term for "without which it could not be" ("but
for")
2007.07.19 08:04:27 JoseJC: wikipedia
2007.07.19 08:04:29 DanikaB: jasmine, it means, loosely, the most essential
part
2007.07.19 08:04:34 DanikaB: right,
2007.07.19 08:04:41 DanikaB smiles again at Jose
2007.07.19 08:04:41 JosephAW: With new information always available now, I am
better off than I was with that stack of old encyclopedias.
2007.07.19 08:04:42 JasmineR: ohh ok thank you
2007.07.19 08:04:44 LoriOl: we are reaching a goal (passing this class) and
you (Prof. Brown) are infusing technology (this online class) to help us reach
that goal
2007.07.19 08:04:53 JacquelyPH: you know that we ought to be able to sign up
for tapped in and even encouraged us to go a step further by setting up our
own office
2007.07.19 08:05:10 DanikaB: so, in what ways has this class addressed (or failed
to address) those different levels of preparation with technology ?
2007.07.19 08:05:11 JoanieP: LOL I already have my own office
2007.07.19 08:05:13 JoseJC: you know I always did want to make my own office
|:^|a
2007.07.19 08:05:26 SandraFl: we can always go out of our way as others would
say to make it a point to teach the importance of the use of tech to OUR students
like Danika has done with us...this is only the second time since I have attended
college that
2007.07.19 08:05:29 LizaR: to become aware of wat is avail
2007.07.19 08:05:33 LizaR: online
2007.07.19 08:05:37 MariaBa: Teachers need to be aware that all students have
different needs to receive encouraghement, support and opportunities to learn.
2007.07.19 08:05:39 RicardoT: well there isnt really a step by step guide
2007.07.19 08:05:39 LoriOl: i agree with liza
2007.07.19 08:05:47 RicardoT: we just jumped right into it
2007.07.19 08:05:49 NoraEG: online
2007.07.19 08:05:54 JoseJC: I can sit in my desk then swivel around in my chair
with my hands together and be like "I've been expecting you mwahahaha"
2007.07.19 08:05:54 ErikaC: I do like the use of thecknology for ones self,
but to theach it? No
2007.07.19 08:05:55 RicardoT: and we are forced to learn
2007.07.19 08:05:59 ElizabetCh: All students are at diff. levels
2007.07.19 08:06:01 JoanieP: LOL
2007.07.19 08:06:13 LoriOl: yup i still feel a little confused by all this...i
hate computers
2007.07.19 08:06:18 DanikaB: right Elizabeth... do you think I have addressed
that fact in this class, or did I fail to do so?
2007.07.19 08:06:18 JoseJC: whaaaa
2007.07.19 08:06:19 ErikaC: I hate online courses
2007.07.19 08:06:26 JacquelyPH: why?
2007.07.19 08:06:28 RicardoT: computers are our friends
2007.07.19 08:06:28 JoseJC: but this isn't an online course
2007.07.19 08:06:34 MirandaR: same here lori
2007.07.19 08:06:37 LizaR: urs werent lyk this erika?
2007.07.19 08:06:37 ErikaC: Oh, I know
2007.07.19 08:06:38 JoseJC: it's a class using the internet as a resource and
a tool
2007.07.19 08:06:41 RicardoT: come join us...
2007.07.19 08:06:41 JoseJC: TOOL
2007.07.19 08:06:44 JoseJC: yes
2007.07.19 08:06:44 ElizabetCh: we all know where we are at more or less, I
think
2007.07.19 08:06:45 ErikaC: but there are
2007.07.19 08:06:45 SandraFl: opps...that I have had to deal with the internet
as far as group wk and discussions and honestly now that I am getting the hang
of this it is really such a shame
2007.07.19 08:06:46 JoseJC: come to the dark side
2007.07.19 08:06:51 AidaM: I do like online courses
2007.07.19 08:06:52 JessicaG: Yes, it is a tool
2007.07.19 08:06:55 JoseJC swishes his cloak.
2007.07.19 08:06:56 JosephAW: I think this class is getting us to look at other
resources. With that, we are also able to interact with a greater range of people
with greater ranges of experience.
2007.07.19 08:07:03 DanikaB: and am i using technology as "an integral
part of the instruction" or does it feel like an "add on"
2007.07.19 08:07:07 VictoriaNG joined the room.
2007.07.19 08:07:12 JoseJC: well
2007.07.19 08:07:17 LoriOl: a bit of both
2007.07.19 08:07:24 MariaBa: welll I guess we have to get used to online course
because that's what the future looks like
2007.07.19 08:07:24 NikkiC: you make it integral considering the class sort
of evolves around it
2007.07.19 08:07:26 JoseJC: integral part of the instruction would make it something
like an online classroom
2007.07.19 08:07:28 AissaT: an integral part of instruction
2007.07.19 08:07:28 JoanieP: I don't thin its an add on, it more of an intergration.
2007.07.19 08:07:32 RicardoT: it goes in well
2007.07.19 08:07:33 JoseJC: I think it's more important for it to be an addon
2007.07.19 08:07:35 MirandaR: "add on"
2007.07.19 08:07:38 JessicaG: Don't worry sasndra, i feel the same way I had
never chatted through the internet
2007.07.19 08:07:48 AidaM: oh no, this is interesting to me even though it is
a little complicated
2007.07.19 08:07:49 JoseJC: wow
2007.07.19 08:07:50 ErikaC: maybe in the future there won't even be professors
2007.07.19 08:07:51 JacquelyPH: it has been intergreted with your pedagogical
theory
2007.07.19 08:07:52 SylviaMe: I ENJOY THIS
2007.07.19 08:07:54 ErikaC: meaning us
2007.07.19 08:08:01 DanikaB: What do you all understand as my reasons for having
this aspect of the course? specifically, tapped in?
2007.07.19 08:08:04 JasmineR: i think is 50% the use of technology and the other
50% is the use of the reading and writing skills put into practice
2007.07.19 08:08:04 ElizabetCh: as an interal part of instruction, because we
are going to have to learn it everntually
2007.07.19 08:08:07 JoseJC: I've been a part of internet chat rooms and message
boards since I first got a computer, back in that fateful day in 2001...
2007.07.19 08:08:11 JoseJC me reminisces.
2007.07.19 08:08:14 JoseJC: oops
2007.07.19 08:08:19 JoseJC: too used to /me
2007.07.19 08:08:19 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 08:08:28 JasmineR: there is a balance
2007.07.19 08:08:29 JosephAW: Technology is used every day in this course. I
think it is more integral than an "add on."
2007.07.19 08:08:38 JacquelyPH: you would like for us to implement technology
to further our understanding of the course and pedagogy
2007.07.19 08:08:41 ErikaC: welll technology makes us a better person, smarter.
Its like bilingual, the more languages you know the better
2007.07.19 08:08:42 SylviaMe LAUGHS
2007.07.19 08:08:43 AidaM: to learn technology to be able to incorporate it
in the classroom as teachers
2007.07.19 08:08:43 JoseJC: well the way I see it
2007.07.19 08:08:44 RicardoT: add on is a terrible word
2007.07.19 08:08:44 JasmineR: you are using technology but also adapting the
reading and writing skills in it
2007.07.19 08:08:45 LoriOl: tapped in gives us more resources for the class,
and also lets us contact each other as well as you
2007.07.19 08:08:45 LizaR: it helps those who r shy in class to be more outgoing
2007.07.19 08:08:46 MariaBa: I,m still nervous of the pres. online
2007.07.19 08:08:52 LizaR: interactive
2007.07.19 08:09:01 DanikaB smiles at maria
2007.07.19 08:09:04 JoseJC: integrating techonology in the classroom is kinda
like a copout
2007.07.19 08:09:08 KevinMG: i think interacting with students is much better
than online though
2007.07.19 08:09:09 RicardoT: i would call it an "unexpected bonus"
2007.07.19 08:09:12 DanikaB wonders what jose means
2007.07.19 08:09:13 JoseJC: you put everything online so you don't have to do
it
2007.07.19 08:09:14 LoriOl: copout?
2007.07.19 08:09:17 JoseJC: like in the class
2007.07.19 08:09:19 JoseJC: I don't like that
2007.07.19 08:09:21 JoseJC: add on is better
2007.07.19 08:09:22 DanikaB laughs
2007.07.19 08:09:23 JoseJC: cause you USE it
2007.07.19 08:09:27 GregMar: it seems to have linked us comfortably in free
saying environment
2007.07.19 08:09:28 JoseJC: not let it do stuff fdor you
2007.07.19 08:09:29 JoseJC: for
2007.07.19 08:09:37 JoseJC: it's like
2007.07.19 08:09:45 JosephAW: I am nervous about the online presentation too.
But I welcome the opportunity to be pushed out of my comfor zone to meet a challenge.
2007.07.19 08:09:45 JacquelyPH: I dont type quite fast enough
2007.07.19 08:09:46 ErikaC: U lost me
2007.07.19 08:09:54 DanikaB: I guess you don't realize how much work it is for
me to post everything, update stuff, and that sort of thing. it really requires
me to do much more work than not using technology
2007.07.19 08:09:59 ErikaC smiles at Jacky
2007.07.19 08:10:00 JoseJC: it's comparing like a mannquin and the clothes it
wears
2007.07.19 08:10:01 JessicaG: Very interesting, Dr. Brown, I think that is a
good idea that you have introduced tapped in to us because in the long run we
will need to have access to these type of sources as future teachers.
2007.07.19 08:10:12 DanikaB nods...
2007.07.19 08:10:13 ErikaC: huuuuuuh
2007.07.19 08:10:20 AidaM: Well I feel that this works both ways, having on
line activities as well as class activities is good
2007.07.19 08:10:23 LoriOl: well thanks for that Prof. Brown
2007.07.19 08:10:30 LoriOl: i mean the hard work
2007.07.19 08:10:30 JoseJC: technology should be the clothes
2007.07.19 08:10:33 JacquelyPH: but u must find it very valuable to go to all
that trouble
2007.07.19 08:10:40 ErikaC: I really enjoy our class discussions
2007.07.19 08:10:51 RicardoT: he has a point
2007.07.19 08:10:55 JessicaG: All that extra work pays off, students will enhance
their capability of using internest sources.
2007.07.19 08:11:00 JoanieP: Well, I like technology, I plan to ge my masters
doing it online, this is preparing me to do so.
2007.07.19 08:11:00 ErikaC: I am impressed at Dr. Brown's theory of teachin
2007.07.19 08:11:04 JoseJC: I think it's because we both speak out D;
2007.07.19 08:11:06 DanikaB: I don't know if you "have" to get resources
from online and that sort of thing, but i do know that to have the opportunity
available to those of you who find this sort of stuff helpful, whether you choose
to use it or not right away, it's important, to me, that you feel comfortable
with exploring new ways to learn
2007.07.19 08:11:10 LuceroM: Dr. Danika, are you going to present a sample -Presentation
of what you expect for us to present ? Please!
2007.07.19 08:11:13 KevinMG: what do u mean by clothes
2007.07.19 08:11:14 ErikaC: you don't find that on many professors ar a college
level
2007.07.19 08:11:20 JoseJC: well
2007.07.19 08:11:29 JoseJC: I was kinda going on about mannequins and the clothes
it wears
2007.07.19 08:11:32 DanikaB: Well, that's what i'm doing, Lucero, with the reading.
my presentation, though, is really long
2007.07.19 08:11:33 JoseJC: but I forgot my analogy
2007.07.19 08:11:35 JoseJC: so idk
2007.07.19 08:11:35 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 08:11:45 RicardoT: i got you jose
2007.07.19 08:11:45 JacquelyPH: i dont think a lot of people are comfortable
exploring new ways to learn
2007.07.19 08:11:46 LizaR: lol
2007.07.19 08:11:48 ErikaC: idk?
2007.07.19 08:11:51 JoseJC: I don't know
2007.07.19 08:11:54 LizaR: i dnt know
2007.07.19 08:11:56 KevinMG: i understand don't worry
2007.07.19 08:12:00 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 08:12:00 JoseJC: it's like
2007.07.19 08:12:05 JoseJC: say the internet is the mannequin
2007.07.19 08:12:07 JoseJC: and
2007.07.19 08:12:08 RicardoT: an oreo
2007.07.19 08:12:10 DanikaB: see, the innovative use of text going on here.
2007.07.19 08:12:11 JoseJC: yeah
2007.07.19 08:12:12 JoseJC: an oreo
2007.07.19 08:12:15 NikkiC: ....
2007.07.19 08:12:15 JoseJC: and you are the milk
2007.07.19 08:12:17 RicardoT: yeah
2007.07.19 08:12:18 JoseJC: and like
2007.07.19 08:12:18 NikkiC: hahaha
2007.07.19 08:12:22 JoseJC: you guys go together
2007.07.19 08:12:24 RicardoT: it works better
2007.07.19 08:12:24 KevinMG: an oreo with milk
2007.07.19 08:12:26 JoseJC: and when it dips into you
2007.07.19 08:12:27 LoriOl: oreo and milk....very innovative
2007.07.19 08:12:27 LizaR laughs
2007.07.19 08:12:28 RicardoT: see
2007.07.19 08:12:30 JoseJC: you get it soaked
2007.07.19 08:12:31 ErikaC: not necessaryly
2007.07.19 08:12:37 JoseJC: and squishy
2007.07.19 08:12:37 LizaR: stop talkin bout food
2007.07.19 08:12:38 RicardoT: no silly
2007.07.19 08:12:38 JoseJC: and delicious
2007.07.19 08:12:39 DanikaB: All right...
2007.07.19 08:12:42 JoseJC: FOOD OH GOD
2007.07.19 08:12:45 JoseJC: sorryt
2007.07.19 08:12:47 AidaM laughs
2007.07.19 08:12:50 DanikaB: let's think about the tricky and very important
principle... number 7
2007.07.19 08:12:50 JoseJC: -t
2007.07.19 08:12:55 JacquelyPH: ok
2007.07.19 08:13:02 ErikaC: much better
2007.07.19 08:13:03 JoseJC: well that's kinda like what I said earlier
2007.07.19 08:13:08 JoseJC: in the internet no one is old
2007.07.19 08:13:09 ErikaC: sure
2007.07.19 08:13:10 JoseJC: so
2007.07.19 08:13:16 SandraFl: i am very glad to be here...i would have probobly
droped the class except I had already been thinking i need to catch up with
technology...i was left too far behind simply because I was scared to mess something
up, but what is there to mess up...the children now are our future and we need
to do this for them and us!
2007.07.19 08:13:18 JoseJC: there's no differences between you and me and everyone
else
2007.07.19 08:13:21 DanikaB: so, clearly, the Valley schools tend to be limited
in resources
2007.07.19 08:13:21 JoseJC: except what we think
2007.07.19 08:13:27 JoseJC: not what we look like, not what our race is
2007.07.19 08:13:27 DanikaB: especially technology.
2007.07.19 08:13:28 JoseJC: our income
2007.07.19 08:13:30 JoseJC: etc
2007.07.19 08:13:31 JoanieP: Yes
2007.07.19 08:13:31 LoriOl: ver limited
2007.07.19 08:13:46 LoriOl: even utpa
2007.07.19 08:13:53 ElizabetCh: the difference with schools
2007.07.19 08:13:54 LizaR: depending on what dist. u attend
2007.07.19 08:13:54 JoanieP: I remember when our school first got its computer
lab. Everone tried ot get it
2007.07.19 08:14:02 DanikaB: so, how do you address that as future teachers?
what are some options you have, and how might technology play a role in your
teaching (even if it isn't in the classroom)?
2007.07.19 08:14:04 JoseJC: I wish we had a bigger library, and maybe a bar
at the student union
2007.07.19 08:14:13 JacquelyPH: I come from a different state and the first
thing that hit me when I came to the valley was the lack of technology in the
schools
2007.07.19 08:14:14 LoriOl: they only have a handful of online courses........even
STC has more
2007.07.19 08:14:14 JoseJC: we could take field trips to the library
2007.07.19 08:14:16 RicardoT: shh
2007.07.19 08:14:30 LizaR: to encourage the usage of comp at least once a wk...?
or so
2007.07.19 08:14:31 JoanieP: Well, if I do become a teacher in the Valley, I
mgiht try for a grant
2007.07.19 08:14:38 DanikaB agrees UTPA's technology infrastructure is a bit
stinky
2007.07.19 08:14:39 JoseJC: well technology would be very huge in my classrooms
really
2007.07.19 08:14:43 LoriOl: bar sounds good....i heard they used to allow drinking
on campus
2007.07.19 08:14:44 LizaR: get the students involved
2007.07.19 08:14:48 DanikaB nods and listens to your ideas
2007.07.19 08:14:49 GregMar: a bar, that would be interesting
2007.07.19 08:14:53 JoseJC: and if the resources are limited I'd have to push
for funding :D
2007.07.19 08:14:55 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 08:14:55 AissaT: i think that was a good idea, make trips to labs
or the library
2007.07.19 08:14:56 RicardoT: i would like to try something like this
2007.07.19 08:15:00 SandraFl: oreos and milk sounds yummy
2007.07.19 08:15:07 JoanieP: LOL
2007.07.19 08:15:13 GregMar: we could sit around and theorize the way they did
back in the day
2007.07.19 08:15:18 LizaR: show them computers r not just for games
2007.07.19 08:15:18 JoseJC: ok we got off of the oreos and milk :3
2007.07.19 08:15:19 DanikaB smiles
2007.07.19 08:15:21 GregMar: i mean in the bar
2007.07.19 08:15:24 RicardoT: whipper snapper
2007.07.19 08:15:29 JoanieP: LOL
2007.07.19 08:15:32 JoseJC: Greg I agree
2007.07.19 08:15:36 JoseJC: I'd want a classical classroom
2007.07.19 08:15:37 AidaM is thinking
2007.07.19 08:15:42 JoseJC: just a pavilion with people sharing ideas
2007.07.19 08:15:45 JoseJC: like aristotle
2007.07.19 08:15:52 JoseJC: BUT
2007.07.19 08:15:53 GregMar: like decarte
2007.07.19 08:15:58 JoseJC: what if it was ONLINE
2007.07.19 08:15:59 MariaBa: With this technology we can apply it to our students
to integrate with other classes in different schools.
2007.07.19 08:16:00 JoseJC: hooo there you go
2007.07.19 08:16:06 GregMar: it type therefore i exist
2007.07.19 08:16:07 LizaR: tru
2007.07.19 08:16:08 RicardoT: yeah
2007.07.19 08:16:14 JoanieP: Ok when I think of a classical classroom, I picture
old time desk one room and everyone from the ages of 2 to 17 in a room at hte
same time
2007.07.19 08:16:16 JoseJC: what if you're justa bot
2007.07.19 08:16:29 JoseJC: like those ads on myspace
2007.07.19 08:16:30 RicardoT: i like danika's half and half approach
2007.07.19 08:16:30 JacquelyPH: is anyone else amazed about how much more talkative
we all are compared to when we are in class
2007.07.19 08:16:37 DanikaB: so, grants and stuff are one idea (and there are
plenty of them out there)...
2007.07.19 08:16:38 LoriOl: maybe with technology we can keep universities on
the same level all over the country
2007.07.19 08:16:38 JoseJC: hey I'm new here, why don't you check out my profile...
2007.07.19 08:16:41 RicardoT: teck with hands on
2007.07.19 08:16:41 ErikaC: I think we are way off the subject
2007.07.19 08:16:47 AidaM: teachers just don't incorporate technoloy in classrooms
2007.07.19 08:16:50 JoseJC: we are perfectly on the subject!
2007.07.19 08:16:55 ErikaC: what for?
2007.07.19 08:16:59 DanikaB: trips to the library to use the computers there....
2007.07.19 08:17:02 JoseJC: yes
2007.07.19 08:17:06 MarcosC: I agree with erika
2007.07.19 08:17:07 JasmineR: i think even if the school itself has limits in
their resources, it is our responsibility as teachers to get a hold of those
resources elsewhere, like having a computer at home or a lab top
2007.07.19 08:17:10 JoseJC: we used to do that, back in my high school
2007.07.19 08:17:13 DanikaB: right, Aida... even chalkboards are technology
2007.07.19 08:17:13 JosephAW: There is obviously an increase in the accesability
to computers. There are plenty of computers in all the McAllen Library branches.
Kids use them as arcades.
2007.07.19 08:17:17 RicardoT: hello its called "learning frameworks"
2007.07.19 08:17:17 LizaR: they used to do that @ my h.s.
2007.07.19 08:17:21 JessicaG: Yes, Jacquelyn I can really see the big difference,
I guess that many of us are very shy to talk in class.
2007.07.19 08:17:24 JoseJC: some classes used the labs, also we had some classes
that had labs
2007.07.19 08:17:24 LizaR: it was dun twice a wk
2007.07.19 08:17:26 JoseJC: like CIM
2007.07.19 08:17:30 JoseJC: or my architecture class
2007.07.19 08:17:30 ErikaC: at a college level,shouldn't we all be some what
familiar with tech?
2007.07.19 08:17:34 JoseJC: I agree
2007.07.19 08:17:38 JoanieP: Well, there are grants to get computers into the
class, but you can make it personal by car washes, bake sales, etc
2007.07.19 08:17:39 JacquelyPH: i know that usually am
2007.07.19 08:17:47 JoseJC: if you don't know what a computer and keyboard are...
it's like welp you're gonna be behind
2007.07.19 08:17:51 JoseJC: (no offense to anyone)
2007.07.19 08:17:51 MariaBa: This technology in the classroom will challenge
the students
2007.07.19 08:18:05 RicardoT: thats what we want
2007.07.19 08:18:08 JessicaG: Jasmine your right, I agree with your response
2007.07.19 08:18:11 DanikaB: did any of you read the article referred to in
the reading about Angela Coooper's use of technology with limited resources?
2007.07.19 08:18:13 LoriOl: there are probably 50 computers to access at the
library, and McAllen alone has more than 100,000 people....i don't think thats
good at all
2007.07.19 08:18:14 RicardoT: we dont want them to be idel in the mind
2007.07.19 08:18:16 GregMar: whats a keyboard? jk
2007.07.19 08:18:22 BrianG: yup jasmine
2007.07.19 08:18:22 RicardoT: idle
2007.07.19 08:18:24 JacquelyPH: no
2007.07.19 08:18:29 ElizabetCh: No
2007.07.19 08:18:37 LoriOl: the mcallen library
2007.07.19 08:18:40 DanikaB: http://www2.ncsu.edu/midtech/spotlight/cooper/index.html
2007.07.19 08:18:53 LuceroM: Danika I want a copy of this, so I can make sense
of this and connect your points to the presentation. Is this possible.
2007.07.19 08:18:56 DanikaB: This teacher was dealing with some of the same
issues teachers in the valley face...
2007.07.19 08:19:04 JessicaG: I believe so Erika..
2007.07.19 08:19:08 JoseJC: aaaa I can't click the link fff
2007.07.19 08:19:10 DanikaB: Lucero, you will get a copy of the transcript.
2007.07.19 08:19:16 LoriOl: me neither
2007.07.19 08:19:18 ElizabetCh: sounds interesting
2007.07.19 08:19:28 JoseJC: mmm vocal trance
2007.07.19 08:19:30 DanikaB: the link is in the reading...
2007.07.19 08:19:32 JoseJC is in a rapture.
2007.07.19 08:19:34 RicardoT: my comp thinks its a pop-up
2007.07.19 08:19:35 JoseJC: oh
2007.07.19 08:19:37 DanikaB: but i'll post it on the classrooom
2007.07.19 08:19:37 KevinMG: whats the link for
2007.07.19 08:19:37 LizaR left the room (signed off).
2007.07.19 08:19:39 JoseJC: of course
2007.07.19 08:19:52 AidaM: sounds good
2007.07.19 08:19:54 JacquelyPH: brb
2007.07.19 08:20:00 ErikaC: I think that any one who is interested on taking
field trips to thw library for technology, should take a technology course.
2007.07.19 08:20:15 JessicaG left the room.
2007.07.19 08:20:27 AissaT left the room (signed off).
2007.07.19 08:20:32 LoriOl: hold down the ctrl key while you doubleclick it
2007.07.19 08:20:35 DanikaB: okay, if you click on the "LINKS" button,
you'll see a link to the Angela Cooper story
2007.07.19 08:20:38 JosephAW: But she says that over 50% of the students have
computer access at home. Is that the case here?
2007.07.19 08:20:42 RicardoT: they do that in that learning framework class!
2007.07.19 08:20:45 JosephAW: Lower? Higher?
2007.07.19 08:20:49 MariaBa: Teachers can cope with a few computers and provided
acessto everyone if possible to infuse the technology within the classroom
2007.07.19 08:20:51 LoriOl: no way its 50 %
2007.07.19 08:20:55 DanikaB: right, Joseph, probably not
2007.07.19 08:20:55 JessicaG joined the room.
2007.07.19 08:20:56 KevinMG: what if you have taken a course for computers
2007.07.19 08:21:01 JoseJC: that's a start
2007.07.19 08:21:09 JoseJC: knowing how to work with something is the first
step to using it
2007.07.19 08:21:12 DanikaB: so, here, teachers have to be even more creative
than she was
2007.07.19 08:21:29 ErikaC: having the desire to it it the first step to do
anything
2007.07.19 08:21:32 JosephAW: I took a course on BASIC and PASCAL. Look how
much that helped me.
2007.07.19 08:21:35 JoanieP: I do agree
2007.07.19 08:21:36 DanikaB: Kevin, do you think you have to take a course to
learn how to use computers?
2007.07.19 08:21:37 ErikaC: that includes technology
2007.07.19 08:21:44 JasmineR: i know for a fact that teachers today get workshops
on how to use some computer programs and such, therefore; it must be very important
for board members and principles to get teachers caught up to technology
2007.07.19 08:21:49 KevinMG: the thing is that i get frustrated when computers
get all crazy that is one of the reason why i don't like computers
2007.07.19 08:21:55 DanikaB nods
2007.07.19 08:21:59 JoseJC: Joseph somewhere someplace they use BASIC and PASCAL,
you just have to look
2007.07.19 08:22:03 DanikaB thinks you should try a Mac
2007.07.19 08:22:06 DanikaB giggles
2007.07.19 08:22:06 LuceroM: before monday? It shure will be helpful cause there
is so much talking about things that don't belong to assingenmet. and the talking
is going to fast for this little window.
2007.07.19 08:22:07 LoriOl: ditto kevin
2007.07.19 08:22:09 ErikaC: we all had to take micro computer applications
2007.07.19 08:22:14 ErikaC: Its part of our basics
2007.07.19 08:22:14 JoseJC gasps!
2007.07.19 08:22:17 JoseJC: YOU SAID THE M WORD
2007.07.19 08:22:20 JoseJC: OH GOD
2007.07.19 08:22:23 DanikaB: you'll get a transcript as soon as you log off
2007.07.19 08:22:25 DanikaB grins
2007.07.19 08:22:27 RicardoT: its true
2007.07.19 08:22:28 JoseJC panics
2007.07.19 08:22:29 RicardoT: 1
2007.07.19 08:22:41 JoanieP smiles
2007.07.19 08:22:50 JoseJC: I'd sooner slam a bat into a Mac than use it
2007.07.19 08:22:51 KevinMG: breathe jose just breathe
2007.07.19 08:22:56 DanikaB: okay, have most of you had the opportunity to "talk"?
2007.07.19 08:23:05 LoriOl: yeah
2007.07.19 08:23:06 JoanieP: LOL
2007.07.19 08:23:07 NoraEG: yes
2007.07.19 08:23:10 JacquelyPH: yep
2007.07.19 08:23:11 AidaM: Yes
2007.07.19 08:23:14 JoseJC hyperventilates.
2007.07.19 08:23:15 KevinMG: i think so
2007.07.19 08:23:16 ErikaC: yup
2007.07.19 08:23:19 SylviaMe: yes
2007.07.19 08:23:20 NikkiC: I'm pretty shy and just reading Danika
2007.07.19 08:23:22 RicardoT: yuppers
2007.07.19 08:23:23 JosephAW: I guess so.
2007.07.19 08:23:25 JoanieP: Tomorow, will be a different story in clas
2007.07.19 08:23:25 DanikaB: I wanted to point out what the author opens the
article with ...
2007.07.19 08:23:29 BrianG: um
2007.07.19 08:23:32 DanikaB smiles at Nikki, totally fine!
2007.07.19 08:23:39 JoseJC: well
2007.07.19 08:23:39 ErikaC: I don't think Jose has
2007.07.19 08:23:39 MariaBa: By infusing technology we mean not only will the
teacher give the information, but the student and teachers will be the learners
2007.07.19 08:23:43 DanikaB: the quote about how technology changes language....
2007.07.19 08:23:48 JoseJC: speaking in recent terms
2007.07.19 08:23:48 MarcosC: i'm with nikki
2007.07.19 08:23:48 JoseJC: oh
2007.07.19 08:23:50 DanikaB: what do you all think about that statement?
2007.07.19 08:23:51 JessicaG: A little, although some just like to joke around.......
2007.07.19 08:23:52 SandraFl: technoloy is constantly changing though we or
atleast teashers should required to take a course of somesort like some people
do to renew lisc...every year or two
2007.07.19 08:23:57 MarcosC: dont like to talk much either
2007.07.19 08:24:06 JoseJC: I think he means it in a literal sense
2007.07.19 08:24:11 JoseJC: as well as a metaphorical one
2007.07.19 08:24:11 JoanieP: I thin of BFF, BTW,
2007.07.19 08:24:14 DanikaB agrees with continuing professional development
that Sandra pointed out
2007.07.19 08:24:19 JoseJC: the literal: computer programming languages
2007.07.19 08:24:21 LuceroM: yeah, that is so true in real life settings.
2007.07.19 08:24:23 JoseJC: Java, basic, etc
2007.07.19 08:24:24 RicardoT: its a different level when you talk with mind
and when you talk orally
2007.07.19 08:24:32 DanikaB tries to figure out BFF
2007.07.19 08:24:32 JoseJC: yeah, that too
2007.07.19 08:24:34 AidaM is just listening
2007.07.19 08:24:36 KristinR left the room (signed off).
2007.07.19 08:24:37 DanikaB: best friend forever?
2007.07.19 08:24:37 AndreaZ left the room (signed off).
2007.07.19 08:24:37 JoanieP: when it comes to different laguage
2007.07.19 08:24:42 JoseJC: BEST FRIENDS FOREVER <3333
2007.07.19 08:24:46 JoanieP: YEs
2007.07.19 08:24:49 JoseJC: Danika will you be my BFF ;3
2007.07.19 08:24:51 DanikaB: GI
2007.07.19 08:24:54 ErikaC: BTW???????????
2007.07.19 08:24:57 JoseJC: by the way
2007.07.19 08:24:58 NikkiC: by the way
2007.07.19 08:25:13 DanikaB: have any of you had trouble keeping up with the
conversation here?
2007.07.19 08:25:16 JacquelyPH: no one should ever stop learning, so it is natural
that the teacher should grow along with their students
2007.07.19 08:25:16 JoanieP: LOL jose you are different in here
2007.07.19 08:25:20 DanikaB: does it feel different from other conversations?
2007.07.19 08:25:21 RicardoT: nope
2007.07.19 08:25:22 JoseJC p
2007.07.19 08:25:22 MariaBa: This changes the information giver to the designer
and director of instruction
2007.07.19 08:25:23 ChristineQ: oh yeah
2007.07.19 08:25:24 ErikaC: thanks
2007.07.19 08:25:24 JoseJC: er
2007.07.19 08:25:25 JoseJC p
2007.07.19 08:25:26 LoriOl: just the constant reading
2007.07.19 08:25:27 JoanieP: BY The Way
2007.07.19 08:25:27 JoseJC @
2007.07.19 08:25:29 AidaM: No
2007.07.19 08:25:29 JoseJC: aaa
2007.07.19 08:25:31 RicardoT: feels like im back in the day
2007.07.19 08:25:38 JoseJC: =p
2007.07.19 08:25:39 SylviaMe: it's a little fast
2007.07.19 08:25:44 MirandaR: i dont like it
2007.07.19 08:25:44 JoseJC: ugh I have to use the equal sign
2007.07.19 08:25:47 JessicaG: yes very different
2007.07.19 08:25:48 JasmineR: yes, it is different, b/c everyone is talking
at the same time
2007.07.19 08:25:48 JoseJC: I hate the equal sign
2007.07.19 08:25:49 JosephAW: Yes. Conversation is fast and frequently interrupted.
2007.07.19 08:25:50 ChristineQ: Its super fast
2007.07.19 08:25:53 AidaM: time is going by very quickly
2007.07.19 08:25:55 NoraEG: I agree with sylvia
2007.07.19 08:25:58 JoseJC: there's the thing
2007.07.19 08:25:59 GregMar that a good song you know "back in the day"
2007.07.19 08:26:00 KevinMG: you bet
2007.07.19 08:26:02 RicardoT: my eyes hurt!
2007.07.19 08:26:04 NikkiC: the only problem is that when I want ot read something
the screen automatically goes to the bottom as soon as someone types osmething
2007.07.19 08:26:09 DanikaB: notice how some strands get picked up later, how
multiple conversations are hapenning at once, and some are ignored?
2007.07.19 08:26:11 JoseJC: when we're in class we have to stop conversation
because someone else wants to interject
2007.07.19 08:26:12 ErikaC: my eyes hurt too
2007.07.19 08:26:15 DanikaB nods

2007.07.19 08:27:37 JoseJC: Broad generalizations are often made in popular
psychology about certain function (eg. logic, creativity) being lateralised,
that is, located in the right or left side of the brain. These ideas need to
be treated carefully because the popular lateralizations are often distributed
across both sides.[1] <-- wikipedia
