No, it's free but it's a research tool I am in NYC ...not sure why video is not working Go to preferences and you can check your audio and video I can hear you. open university in the UK it is a very low weight environment half the weight of skype and browser-based so one does not have to have any special "ports" open There was another FlashMeeting earlier today - did you know, Lucy?

Hang on two seconds.. kid alert... Lisa, you want to try broadcasting? Let me try yes, Lisa, let's see if it works for you i don't think my iSight is playing nice btw, here is a slideshow presentation I made to teachers in New Brunswick Canada a few weeks ago about global projects - http://www.slideshare.net/speters/lets-go-global and another I made (for two conferences in the spring) - http://3cs.wikispaces.com/CAIS-BP your iSight SHOULD work - that is what I have Hi Robin Ellis! welcome! i am in as a guest- i am going to try to register I don't have a web cam I am able to chat at the moment Yes text From Quakertown PA oops closed the wrong window Eastern PA 40 miles n of Philadelphia You can still chat without video Hi Robin!

Yes have been trying to follow it Kim is amazing have you folks heard of TakingITGlobal? Yes I have Yes, again.. don't know much about it Lucy, am I following you on twitter? I have but I cannot remember details Kim is coming lol I don't know. My username for everything is elemenous So I am easy to find http://twitter.com/speters Kim is coming to the meeting?? WOW brb... husband calls Kim is mentioned by TakingITGlobal - (a Canadian initiative with thousands of kids around the world in teh network) TIG has just signed a contract with my province.... now we consultants are getting training so we can train the teachers in the public school sector ISTE standards http://learning2cn.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=703147%3ATopic%3A3113&page=1&commentId=703147%3AComment%3A3608#703147Comment3608 So global stuff is more embeded than specific... I thought maybe there was something separate from tech... There's Kim! Lawrence Peters We are global! woohoo!! Neither do we. :) Hello Kim yay! Tell us all about the conference! It is SOOO exciting to talk to you, Kim - you are famous! yes! She's a celebrity! Oh please and I am really really jealous you were able to go to the Shanghai conference we followed it It was fabulous, really! Great to hear from you, Kim! I think David Warlick was jealous too I'm so glad you guys were all able to follow along lol hey, did you meet Will Richardson?? I did! He mentioned something in his blog about wanting to be there. He actually asked to talk to me! Yes would have loved to be at Learning2.0 How many people were there? I will be speaking alongside him in two weeks in Prince Edward Island, Canada! Will is a neighbor of mine Oh funny... what a small world, Robin! About 400 people at the conference He lives about 15 miles from me I have met him a few times, nice guy! wow! small world Wow! Robin, exciting! Yes very nice only 400 at the conference!! It FELT so MUCH bigger!! What are we talking about today? He was here in Chicago for a workshop that I took, so I think we are more familar Well, we've been comparing notes I have a project going on now just beginning the SAS with a second grade class It was actually pretty small, but very enthusiastic crowd What's SAS? we are talking about how to connect classes for global projects Sharon has LOTS of experience so she's connecting us to a bunch of resources Excellent! Perfect! So does KIM - she is live in the trenches!! Sharon I am always looking for classes to connect in my district Kim, I am going to meet the folks from TakingITGlobal on Thursday for training.... how cool is that? Is the ning the best way to find others? I think the ning is not busy enough to find people right now taking initiatives like this (joining a Flashmeeting) is a great way to find others I'd like suggestions on how to build it Nice! I loved that booklet that they put out, but I'm embarassed that they didn't include the other participants names (even though I included them on my entry) Like Sharon said, its the personal connections that is the best way to find partners you talk to peeps like Kim and me and we pass along the word - word of mouth is still best Is someone speaking now? I see robinellis as the name, but no video Well if any of you want partners please let me know ture true I know people who are looking to connect so sometimes I can put people together Kim has a second grade project... right, Kim? No Kim I have no video I'm not well prepared tonight exactly, Lucy - and I have my eyes open to connect others too No worries :) Just learning how to use Flashmeeting with my blog, my contacts at Teachers Without Borders, WOW2, etc. I have a friend from Australia here Westley Say hi to Westley!!!! FlashMeeting rocks Hello Westley HI Westley!! Westley's schools is SO neat.

Yes! much better! can hear your wonderful Aussie accent Sydney.... do you know Chris Betcher? http://www.mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au/ I hope it's a practice lockdown 1:1 is so great wow, a early adopter of 1:1 I love the term "blended learning" Blended was a HUGE word at Learning 2.0 this weekend me too, my master's thesis was based on blended learning approach He asked me one time about a blended learning environment... what it looked like and I couldn't say really. I'm not seeing a lot of it in my corner of the world http://www.skoolaborate.com/ are you using a CMS/LMS? I am not seeing much of it in my area either very impressive - to design your own His school is so aware of 21st learning and thinking that is amazing! you are SOOO cutting edge I'm slow :) I wish we had administrators who had this vision and the determination to move my district forward administrators with vision - there is a premium on that ! you need some Canadians! and I can help with that Yes, for sure. Kiwis are awesome isn't this FlashMeeting great for this?? I used skype in my classroom this past academic year There are a ton of Australians and Kiwis in the global ed ning... I wonder what it is about being down under that promotes progressive thinking BUT, FlashMeeting has fantastic potential What age group are you working with? I have some questions ahhh audio is an issue I love this. can't hear Louder No audio again can't hear either sorry Westley... technology!!! YES Beautiful! yes perfect! olpc how great! exactly - the focus should be on pedagogy, NOT on technology Thanks for all the information. I enjoyed the conversation. Need to go now... absolutely Sharon we need to lose the "T" word..... it is about literacy and pedagogy we have a lot of that going on in Bangkok too... collaboration is so key love that term cross-fertilizing - one of my faves! wow, what a school ! do you do teacher exchanges?? ( she smiles) age levels? ISTE standards really wishing I was still working at the middle school level now... age levels k - 12 1320 students http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NETS/NETS_Refresh_Forum/NETS_Refresh_.htm Sorry got discoed again wow, that is fantastic stuff Can you upload the doc for us, Westley? in the xtra area, you can add files I tried to find that ISTE doc with the new standards - that might be it wow, I have to tell my bosses at LEARN about this Westley met the Second Life people this summer in San Fran wow, that is pretty amazing He needs to tell you all about his trip this summer Westley have you heard of Umind? amazing!

She's great... and she has a high school teacher who is looking for a global partner, too This teacher posted something in the Global Ed ning and hasn't had a response yet, I think.

Thanks for coming! Did you see that Robin posted a doc under xtra? yes, perfect! It's the ISTE standards. I was hoping Westley would post his vision statement or whatever he was talking about here, too I can't see the files Me too - his school is amazing! So, Kim, I hope we can work on your project... I'm sure we'll have takers at my school. Yes please! And you'll love working with the School at Columbia. I have to keep the excitement going from Learning 2.0 Andrew is salt of the earth. What was the best part of the conference? Definitely! So hard to choose - everything was amazing, honestly Best part was meeting Will, Sheryl, Wes and Alan November Do did Jeff put it together himself? Who was the sponsoring org? EARCOS and the Shanghai Association of Schools Jeff I think did a lot of the organizing and publicizing Wow... so amazing. but there were some big groups behind him :) How often do you get back to the states? we're going to host in bangkok next year i think About once a year Summer Wow, I wish I had done that when I was a million years younger. It's never too late! Come over with your family! Maybe! We would LOVE to have you at ISB There is some talk that Apple Distinguished Educators will do another trip We will hopefully be looking for a MS tech facilitator next year You know about our trip last summer right? I applied for the ADE last year You did! Wow, I wish I had known They are in the process of revamping the program for international schools No word on anything yet Really? Do you know Matt McGuinness? He's the Asia rep So it's for a new class? No, I don't. I know an ADE in Singapore He seems to have no idea what's happening with the international school applicants I can ask around. Would love to be part of the program It's the best thing that's happened to me. Can be tough when you're abroad to fit into a US based program I think they haven't worked out the kinks with the internationals yet Well, at the very least, it's a great network of people to be a part of Definitely! I honestly don't know. No worries :) This is so cool! You should get your school to fund a trip to NECC too Thank you for inviting me! Yes, it is cool. I wanted to go to NECC this past summer but couldn't fit it in hopefully next year Now that I have the hang of this, we'll do another one next month, perhaps Summers are always so rushed Well, you were moving, too, right? exactly I can only imagine! It's interesting... Easier than you would think for sure, but stressful So much to think about New school, new school culture... and new a country! Exactly! You have a dream job title, so I'm sure you will do amazing stuff. I just noticed. I am logged in twice. Thank you! I got so lucky! I am seeing double. LOL lol So, how did you get to start this session You were talking about checking the forums and then I think you got cut off (or something) Oh okay I'll try and find the link but in the forums, there is a discussion on how to get a booker account Hiya Lucy and Kim..... Kyle from CA You have to email someone and ask them Hey Kyle! Ok, cool - will do! I was watching you on a video recently Have been hearing about this for months now, so glad to finally try it out! Hi Kyle! I just saw the link in e-mail and thought I would drop in... I will need to learn as well So anyway, I think you just need to say you are using it educationally and everything is recorded for research purposes. Will do I want to test out elluminate too Same here I got an e-mail about them wanting to sponsor my blog I got an invite from Elluminate to put something on my blog in return yes, same thing So did Susan Sedro, do you know her? Strange Or flattering I am wondering if I shoudl do that or is it selling out? Her name sounds familiar Exactly what I'm thinking Where does she teach? I understood that the V-Rooms were free to begin with Why would I want someone sponsoring me, if I can have it for free? I get a few emails here and there with people wanting me to promote their products Susan is in Singapore and it seems a little disingenous You're famous! Hah. I agree with you Don't think so! Lucy... you have quite the world wide rep...... Kyel, what do you think of this? You are! Er Kyle... Does anyone else keep getting an angry beep Is our meeting time running out? I am just so eager to do things with people that I'm all over the place I think has something to do with time yes, our time is almost up I turned down my sound so I am not hearing it I'm the same, Lucy I don't know if I would do it... but I also don't have people asking me to do testimonials for their products either. We have 2 minutes later Hi Carolyn! Hi kim! Hi Carolyn! Hi Lucy :) Easy, right? Two minutes til the meeting ends!!! sorry, just stumbling in here ;) I was so impressed with how easy it was! Ease of use is important yes, definitely yes, need to find something other than skype for the kids Kyle, I was asking what you think of this? skype is blocked at ISB OK... shoot. I don't think this gets blocked yeah, we're having trouble getting them to install it except for staff right now What do you think of Flashmeeting Kyle? me either and even that has been very slow Have you used it before? This, YackPack, have you guys seen TokBox? well, Lucy.. thanks for organizing this it was great It allows video e-mail Thanks for coming Lisa! must go (unpacked boxes are calling my name) Okay, I heard that beep Yikes ok Bye Lisa Haven't tried the video email thing Red flashing! I really like this.... I would use it if I was running a meeting like this. Nice to pop in. Yackpack is a little confusing I also want to use it with our Global Communications class. It gets easier Kyle, are you a member of my Ning? We've used Yackpack a little bit as well Set up is not the best, but function is easy On global collabo? 10, 9,8 .... bye This is the edited for replay version!
