On this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers we were excited to have a conversation with Liz Stephens and Kerry Ballast about their new book, Using Technology to Improve Adolescent Writing: Digital Make-Overs for Writing Lesson.
Liz Campbell Stephens teaches graduate courses in Educational Technology and is Director of the Office of Educator Preparation at Texas State University-San Marcos. She serves on the National Writing Project’s Board of Directors and was Director of the Central Texas Writing Project for 11 years. She co-authored Technology, Reading, and Language Arts and has written numerous chapters and papers on technology and literacy. Liz is former high school English teacher and brings that experience to her work as a teacher educator, federal programs director, and consultant. Her research has centered on literacy, technology, and teacher education.
Kerry Ballast
is a Teacher Consultant for the Central Texas Writing Project and a secondary English language arts teacher with 14 years classroom experience. She has worked with students in grades 6-12 to explore various forms of writing, both traditional and digital. Currently, she works for the Texas
This podcast is another in a series of Teachers Teaching Teachers shows to feature the authors of a recent outcrop of books on new media and literacy (Copyright Clarity: 184, 135, The Digital Writing Workshop: 172, 171, 170, Teaching the New Writing: 157, 156, 155, Teaching Writing Using Blogs, Wikis, and other Digital Tools: 138) Perhaps we have the makings of a new discipline here, or at least a budding new branch on the tree of academic inquiry. See the National Writing Project's list at Teaching Now: Digital Writing Books. What would you add to this list? Let us know by adding a comment below.
On this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers we were excited to have a conversation with Liz Stephens and Kerry Ballast about their new book, Using Technology to Improve Adolescent Writing: Digital Make-Overs for Writing Lessons.
Stephens and Ballast guide teachers in how to successfully implement technology for writing across the curriculum and create engaging lesson plans. They outline four frames of writing–inside writing, responsive writing, purposeful writing, and social action writing–and present student-centered and inquiry-based reading/writing lessons to connect real-world writing to content area standards. The result is a state-of the-art resource for helping teachers teach every student to write inside and outside of the classroom.

On this week’s Teachers Teaching Teachers, we had some follow-up’s, and some room for new voices. Paul Allison invited several of his students from the East-West School of International Studies in Flushing, NY onto the show to explain more about gaming. These students were listening and in the chat room on TTT#181 the week before when we talked about gaming in schools with other teachers, researchers, and consultants. The student had asked for a student-centered follow up. Listen to find out where gaming is in their lives.
And if that’s not enough, this week's podcast also includes George Haines, a 6th grade teacher back on the show to talk about a Twitter project he was about to launch. George was on TTT in August: Teachers Teaching Teachers #165 - 08.26.09 - Meet Lisa Dick and George Haines: Talking about research and diigo George has written us recently to say that he hasn’t given up on “video and self-directed learning via youtube."

And stay tuned every Wednesday evening this Spring as Paul and Susan Ettenheim and other students learn about bringing gaming into their curriculum this coming semester. If you know of a gamer, please invite him or her to join us as well! We’d love to include other students via Skype!

I haven’t scrapped that platform yet, but I decided to try to use Twitter for self-directed learning first. It is so much more nimble of a platform, I figured it would allow for a more fluid discussion and more immediate feedback and clarification.I saw that you have a youthvoices account on twitter and I just started following it. My kids are almost ready to start tweeting out their questions and connecting to other kids as part of this “KidSourcing” project. My kids are 6th graders, but I have invited any classes in the ballpark to connect with my kids. We are connecting to kids in Tanzania (http://epicchangeblog.org/2009/10/21/the-twitterkids-of-tanzania/) and I am working out the involvement with schools in Peru, Brazil, China and a couple here in the old U.S. of A. I don’t know how neatly our project meshes with what you are trying to accomplish with Youth Voices, but I figured I would reach out and gauge your interest in connecting.Here is the basic outline for the project: The idea is to have kids search for answers from the crowd of kids with no help from the adults (aside from monitoring and guiding offline).
The idea is to seek answers to “why” questions as opposed to “What” questions. For example, a question that a kid can simply Google like “when did the civil war start?” is a bad one, but a question like “WHY did the civil war start?” is a good one. Questions that start discussions, lead to independent research and sharing links fit the bill. The idea would be to keep it loose and low impact- not a heavily dependent collaboration. I will probably tell my kids to post a new question each week and I will probably give them an arbitrary number of questions from other kids to help answer.
For the first month we will work in depth on the project, then I hope to make it part of the routine when they come to the lab, meaning they login and check twitter for 5-10 minutes before we launch into whatever other projects we are doing at the time. video and self-directed learning via youtube.I haven’t scrapped that platform yet, but I decided to try to use Twitter for self-directed learning first.

If you were itching to include gaming in your curriculum, what would you do? Susan and I, and others in the New York City Writing Project started by having a conversation with some pretty smart people earlier this month on Teachers Teaching Teachers. We met most of these educators in November 2009 at the National Writing Project's "Digital Is..." Conference, which was an invitational one-day conference supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's Digital Media and Learning Initiative.
On this podcast we are joined by these amazing folks:
Barry Joseph and Rafi Santo from Global Kids.
Jonathan Richter and Peggy Marconi who are working together at the Oregon Writing Project at the University of Oregon.
New York City Public School teachers, Al Doyle and Shantanu Saha

Let's start by quoting Global Kids on Games-based Learning|:
Since 2002, Global Kids has been a leader in the use of online games to promote global awareness, engaged citizenship, and 21st Century Learning Skills. Through Playing 4 Keeps, Global Kids trains urban youth to think critically about digital games and design games about important social issues. Here is an article that just came out about their most recent program for individual educators: American Library Association on Global Kid’s games-based trainings.
Here's more about Barry Joseph and Rafi Santo:
Barry Joseph, Global Kids, Inc., Director of the Online Leadership Program, holds a BA from Northwestern University and an MA in American Studies from New York University. Barry came to Global Kids in 2000 through the New Voices Fellowship of the Academy for Educational Development, funded by the Ford Foundation. He has developed innovative programs in the areas of youth-led online dialogues, video games as a form of youth media, the application of social networks for social good and the educational potential of virtual worlds, combining youth development practices with the development of high profile digital media projects that develop 21st Century Skills. He has also worked with GK’s development program to secure funding from a number of foundation’s and corporations. Barry served on the steering committee of the MacArthur Foundation’s Digital Media and Learning initiative and his writing appeared in the Foundation’s Ecology of Games volume in 2007. He has spoken at numerous conferences and published articles in a wide variety of publications.

He has ten years of experience in youth development and education. Prior to joining Global Kids, Rafi did field work in international development in India, helping to build bridges between Hindu and Muslim communities in conflict. He graduated with a BA in Integral Studies from New York University.
Next check out this is brief overview of a gaming project that Jonathan Richter and Peggy Marconi are working on:
The Simulations Gaming Development Initiative (SGDI) program at Lane Community College aims to integrate programming and gaming industry curricula into a distributed 3D virtual and web-enhanced platform in order to enhance access and innovation for people across the country. The project has been designed to start locally and scale up as the capacity for a geodistributed Community of Practice emerges to include distance students from participating high schools and community colleges. An introduction to Second Life course is being piloted Fall 2009, with concurrent design of a gaming and simulation programming course to be implemented Spring 2010. The SGDI project features a focus on building capacity to attract non-typical students into the computer sciences - particularly females - by developing support structures for learning such content in accessible and collaborative ways.Center for Advanced Technology in Education.
Here's more about Jonathon Richter and Peggy Marconi:
Jonathon Richter, Ed.D is Director of The Center for Learning in Virtual Environments at The University of Oregon where he currently is co-Principal Investigator on two National Science Foundation grants – one to integrate computer science and game development into virtual environments at Lane Community College in Oregon and the other investigating the way globally distributed teams use virtual worlds to collaborate and innovate. He is the co-founder and current chair of the American Educational Research Association’s special interest group on virtual worlds named the Applied Research in Virtual Environments for Learning (ARVEL) and is leading the MERLOT Taskforce on Virtual Worlds.

cheryloakes50~ -> Peggy, that is great. You are so funny, when you say you are retired,NOT, you are so busy. We are glad you share all your knowledge.
Maureen -> It takes my 8th graders weeks to make a their trailers. Partly because I am a "mean" teacher and make them use licensed music.
carolteach4 -> Speaking of Google Apps, did you see that they have greatly increased the file size of Word documents that can be uploaded? It used to be 578kb, but now it's more than 2mb - can't remember the upper limits, but it's much more generous.
sheila -> We used Google Wave as a backchannel for our last state edtech meeting.
cheryloakes50~ -> good for you Maureen, help them learn
PeggyG -> if I weren't retired I wouldn't have time to participate in all of these fabulous things!!
cheryloakes50~ -> Great Shelia, was it good to keep track of everything?
kyteacher -> Used it as a backchannel in class one day. Loved the potential, but it didn't play well with our network.
Maureen -> I haven't played yet- too much to learn and so little time
ajblanco -> i got several invites, but don't know what to do with them!
PeggyG -> I'd love to hear more about how that worked for you Sheila--google wave for backchannel
carolteach4 -> On Teachers Teaching Teachers last evening one of the participants said he had 10 invites to give out.
carolteach4 -> I didn't request one; I'm overwhelmed.
cheryloakes50~ -> Hello mmorley and wlwildcat welcome
Tim Levesque -> there are wave extensions for chrome
sheila -> It was the first time, so it was more of a new tool but I think it can be helpful for links, threaded discussions. I think there's potential.
Maureen -> It seems to me that if I have to "learn" it that it isn't for me- least not yet
Tim Levesque -> ...on pc
sroseman -> Chrome on the desktop ..do you recommend
tasteach -> Sue Waters and I have used it for chatting about the student blogging challenge for 2010. Getting ideas from teachers on how to improve etc
carolteach4 -> My husband had to deinstall Chrome; it wouldn't allow him to use Adobe Photoelements.
sroseman -> sorry Chrome on the mac with Leopard ..do you recommend
PeggyG -> Chrome has a lot of limitations but what it does, it does very well
Tim Levesque -> Chrome is an excellent browser but it still has its hitches
cheryloakes50~ -> Sue, do you mean using Chrome locally and saved to desktop./??? I on ly use it as browser.
carolteach4 -> Having Google Apps for Schools makes widespread adoption of the tool much easier.
sroseman -> Chrome as a browser
sarahsutter -> Our Google Rockstars are perhaps not the same as what the students would consider famous or worthy of note.
Maureen -> We use google apps for faculty and staff- hope to buy a domain and have it for the kids next year. Does anyone know if you can use it for under 13- if it is your own google apps domain- and you get parent permission?
carolteach4 -> Most of our students (7th and 8th) had never used a shared document or presentation until they were introduced to it in school.
PeggyG -> good question Maureen!
kyteacher -> I'm so envious...
Tim Levesque -> richard's blog = amazing
Tim Levesque -> i <3 richard's blog
ajblanco -> me too Tim!
Maureen -> Great blog- use it every day
bobsprankle -> hi colleen!
Tim Levesque -> :)
cheryloakes50~ -> Hi colleenk, welcome!!
colleenk -> Hi Bob! Hi Everyone!
carolteach4 -> Can you drop the link in the chat?
marragem -> awesome blog!
cheryloakes50~ -> www.freetech4teachers.com
tasteach -> one of the first blogs I got feed for along with Larry Ferlazzo
PeggyG -> Richard is a fast learner!!! so impressive!
sroseman -> Cheryl, I want to use it as a browser with Leopard 10.5
carolteach4 -> Oh, yes, now I remember. What a great resource. So many folks mention it in their blogs, that it's no wonder he gets lots of traffice. Also, twitter.
Maureen -> I like the way you have some main ideas and always have the related links, which are so useful
marragem -> first blog I check each day in my reader
PeggyG -> I'm using Chrome as a browser with Leopard 10.5--works great but I don't use it often
cheryloakes50~ -> Sroseman, I am using Chrome on my snowleopard, imac and fine. I also use on the school macbook.
marragem -> we are & we love it!
carolteach4 -> I'm happy if two or three a week look at my blog.
Maureen -> No cable - no cell for me. We just got broadband this fall- had a yucky satellite/dial up for years
PeggyG -> great story Alice!
Tim Levesque -> The state just allocated more money to expand broadband to rural areas of the state..hopefully dial-up will be a thing of the past.
Maureen -> My students can't believe that I only get 1 TV station- DTV did in all my fuzzy ones
carolteach4 -> I just heard that MacDonald's is going to offer free wireless.
cheryloakes50~ -> Tim, that can't come soon enough.
Tim Levesque -> yeah..dialup is big up here in the county
Maureen -> I'd like cell phone access here. I won't buy one unless it works where I live- probably never
carolteach4 -> Talk about retweeting; I reblog.
cheryloakes50~ -> good thing Carolteach4, that is good to share!
carolteach4 -> Wow! Five things a day! Gosh! You are dedicated.
tasteach -> how do you find all these great resources?
PeggyG -> I can't imagine blogging every day!! Wow!
Tim Levesque -> I want to know how you find all of the web apps and tools..PLN's? RSS Feeds? Email? Telephone?
kyteacher -> Good to set limits...never more than 7 per day. Would love to get 2-3 per week.
Maureen -> OK- what's your teaching load? I can't imagine how you can find the time
cheryloakes50~ -> good point kyteacher!
cheryloakes50~ -> welcome monika!
Tim Levesque -> I would explode from information overload..
monika -> thank you
PeggyG -> this is great to hear! so many places to get new resources!
tasteach -> yeah twitter has great resources
cheryloakes50~ -> yes Peggy, new places to search
kyteacher -> My "for later" seems to be sometime in the year 2020.
PeggyG -> I often add my thoughts/comments in my own Diigo bookmarks just to remind me why I thought it was valuable to bookmark.
carolteach4 -> I keep a Google Doc open and drop links and annotations into that when I'm searching or participating in a webcast.
Maureen -> I send the history/social studies teachers at my school diigo bookmarks from your stuff on almost a nightly basis
cheryloakes50~ -> Yes, Peggyg, that helps me too. Kyteacher, later= never for me!
sheila -> Oh, that's too organized for me @carolteach4 ;)
cheryloakes50~ -> Carolteach4, I also email myself !
PeggyG -> I sometimes use Evernote too for saving ideas/URLs for later thinking
carolteach4 -> I like using the Google Doc because it's available to me anywhere, and everytime I add to it, it jumps to the top of my list of docs.
alicebarr -> Sound still ok?
sheila -> sounds good!
PeggyG -> good point @carolteach4
alicebarr -> Blipped for a sec
PeggyG -> sound is great for me
Maureen -> I use "read it later" in FF... but I never read it later. It's like another flat surface to pile things on- every other one in my house is covered with piles of "stuff" that I will maybe get to
monika -> no sound for me - is it my vista
kyteacher -> @PeggyG Starting to play around with Evernote. I think I'm going to like it.
cheryloakes50~ -> Monika, look on the page, ETTA and click on itunes or real player
ajblanco -> Totally understand Maureen! I have a "comebackto" in my delicious account and I never go back to it!
PeggyG -> @monika-did you click on one of the sound icons? maybe realplayer would work?
Tim Levesque -> what made you decide to dedicate so much time to blogging? I mean..we all REALLY appreciate it..but what keeps you motivated?
PeggyG -> I'm really liking Evernote for taking notes during virtual conferences and webinars. Saved tons of great things from the Discovery Ed Scicon conference!
monika -> got it - thanks guys
carolteach4 -> I ran into that with Twitter; I'd not logged in for most of Christmas vacation, and when I did check in, it took me over an hour to go through. I only follow about 23 tope educators.
Maureen -> I was teaching RSS to my 7th graders the other day- I cleared my reader- to avoid embarrassment, but there was a ton of stuff by mid day when I taught the class
carolteach4 -> top educators
PeggyG -> I will never be at zero!!
alicebarr -> Me neither
ajblanco -> me either!
carolteach4 -> Despite Kathy Schrock's advice, I think I have over a 1,000 emails in my inbox.
cheryloakes50~ -> I will never be at zero and proud of it!
PeggyG -> me too Cheryl!
alicebarr -> let's start a no zero movement :)
cheryloakes50~ -> yes alice!
marragem -> I like the sound of that Alice!
sheila -> I think no zero is similar to 20+ tabs in browser! :)
sheila -> and a full read-it-later.
alicebarr -> ooooo Sheila, I am WAY over 20 tabs!
PeggyG -> to me it's like people asking me if I'm all caught up now--I just laugh!! That is not in my vocabulary!
sheila -> Love it Alice!
mjgormans -> Do you have a favorite post that stands out in your memory?
PeggyG -> would you believe 90 tabs in my browser?
cheryloakes50~ -> Peggy that is a record!
carolteach4 -> I get so excited when someone leaves a comment on my blog. It's nice to know I've touched someone else.
alicebarr -> My students tease me about my tabs all the time
PeggyG -> that happens to me almost daily!
Tim Levesque -> thanks!
Maureen -> I know we, as teachers, are always saying- we do it for the kids... it's worth it. Are we your kids?
carolteach4 -> Richard, do you try to respond to folks who comment on your blog? I think that is really neat, but it must take a lot of time for someone with as much traffic as you get.
tasteach -> it takes soooo looong for some teachers to get the idea of a PLN andhow it can improve your teaching and save time
Maureen -> Do you have a local PLN at your school or district? Is that a priority for you? Or is the international PLN your audience?
cheryloakes50~ -> tasteach good point
mjgormans -> Did they give you an instant raise?
PeggyG -> these are such great examples of the power of a PLN!!
PeggyG -> Beth is starting a new campaign to take a newbie to NECC (ISTE 2010) :-) such a great idea!!!!
cheryloakes50~ -> It is such a great idea the power of the community.

For most parents the most common interaction with their child's classroom teacher happens at parent teacher interviews. For years that process has been the norm, but now it is changing. In more and more schools, students are leading conferences, and, overall, the word is that they‚are doing a fine job.
Conversations Edtechtalk show host Lisa Parisi and Ginger Lewman from Turning Point Learning Centre in Emporia, KS joined Matt Lorna and Cindy to share their experiences using student led Parent Teacher conferences.

A conversation with Ahsan Karim, Director of Technology at The Buckley School and President of NYCIST. We discussed the relationships between the New York Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS), the New York Consortium of Independent School Technologists (NYCIST), and the NYSAIS Education and Information Technology Conference (NEIT). Lots of overlap, the results of which is a rich network of education technologies who have each other at their fingertips, yet realize the importance of face to face meetings.

EdTechWeekly #140
October 25, 2009
In the absense of Jeff and Jen, Dave and John break format this week to geek out on a number of different topics. Listeners could ask questions on just about any topic, and our fearless hosts took a stab at answering them. The conversation drifted through Drupal through Google Docs, the value of free software, Moodle, Google Wave, video problems, the role of textbooks, Sugar and OLPC, Android, and when to use Comic Sans.

This is the second of two shows we've done recently that featured young high school women. On TTT#152 we enjoyed learning from the young women at Matt Montagne's school who are involved with tthe Gator Radio Experience.
On this podcast, we feature three amazing teenagers, three glib feminists who have begun to make their voices be heard on a group blog, "Womens Glib."
File this one under student self-initiated work that gives you hope for the future — and the present too!
The young women who started a feminist blog recently to join us on Teachers Teaching Teachers. We learned so much from them that we can't wait until we play this for our students in this fall when we introduce them to blogging.
This is the second of two shows we've done recently that featured young high school women. On TTT#152 we enjoyed learning from the young women at Matt Montagne's school who are involved with tthe Gator Radio Experience.
On this podcast, we feature three amazing teenagers, three glib feminists who have begun to make their voices be heard on a group blog, "Womens Glib."
File this one under student self-initiated work that gives you hope for the future — and the present too!
The young women who started a feminist blog recently to join us on Teachers Teaching Teachers. We learned so much from them that we can't wait until we play this for our students in this fall when we introduce them to blogging.
Women’s Glib is a community of nerdy, foul-mouthed youth. Miranda started the adventure in January, after many months spent wondering if she was up to the task of maintaining a blog. She was very quickly joined by Katie, Ruth, Zoe, Phoebe, Shira, Silvia, and Kyla. Guest contributors also help spread the feministy love now and then.
Here’s what they say on their about page:
Women’s Lib[eration], a.k.a. feminism: n., belief in the social, political, and economic equality of all people regardless of gender or sex
glib: adj., performed with a natural, offhand ease
Women’s Glib is a blog by and for young feminists and womanists. Contributors are teenage New Yorkers, writing about what matters to us with a focus on feminism and other progressive values. We cannot and do not speak for all teenagers or all young feminists; we simply speak for ourselves and write our own truths.
Listen to the podcast and be inspired with us by this new generation of feminist bloggers.

Our guests on this podcast are: DeWayne Dickens, Oklahoma State Writing Project; Suzanne Linebarger, Northern California Writing Project; Sandra Hogue, Louisville Writing Project; Irina McGrath, Louisville Writing Project; Lynette Herring-Harris, Thinking Partner for Rural Sites Network; Vanessa Brown, Thinking Partner for the Urban Sites Network, Philadelphia Writing Project
Resiliency theories have been shared for over a decade. These teachers are just a few of the members of the National Writing Project's Urban and Rural Sites Networks, who have been discussing the implications of resiliency research for classroom practice. On this podcast you will hear what each of them see and do when stakes are high, supports are limited, and odds are tough—and kids rise above it all.
This podcast is the first of a special two-part Teachers Teaching Teachers sponsored by the Urban Sites Network and Rural Sites Network of the National Writing Project. The next webcast will be on Wednesday June 3, 2009 right here at EdTechTalk.
Please consider this podcast to be an invitation, perhaps even a request for you to join us in the National Writing Project in this conversation about resiliency, writing, and teaching in these difficult times. We ask that you listen to this podcast, then add your own story (by posting a comment) about a student who exhibited the qualities of resiliency that we are seeking to nurture in our classrooms. What specific structures, decisions, books, approaches, projects or technologies have you learned to employ in your classroom to provide the "protective factors" that enable "at-risk" students to develop the resiliency they need to succeed?
Our guests on this podcast are:
DeWayne Dickens, Oklahoma State Writing Project
Suzanne Linebarger, Northern California Writing Project
Sandra Hogue, Louisville Writing Project
Irina McGrath, Louisville Writing Project
Lynette Herring-Harris, Thinking Partner for Rural Sites Network
Vanessa Brown, Thinking Partner for the Urban Sites Network, Philadelphia Writing Project

On this podcast you will hear what they see and do when stakes are high, supports are limited, and odds are tough—and kids rise above it all.
DeWayne tells us about a woman in her late-30's who has failed Composition II three times, but is not giving up.
Suzanne describes Jermaine, the Mayor of Liondot Avenue, and a video project that draws him into school.
Sandra relates a story about six-year-old "Richard" who had been removed from his home and placed with his aunt, but who finds himself in literature.
Irina tells us about her work with English Language Learners, her Spanish-speaking students who found community by telling their stories in Spanish.
Lynette talks about a letter she wrote to her students with a quarter for a phone call. Many of her rural students used these quarters, connecting with a teacher who cared. They were kids who had the odds against them, but they found success.
This podcast is the first of a special two-part Teachers Teaching Teachers sponsored by the Urban Sites Network and Rural Sites Network of the National Writing Project. The next webcast will be on Wednesday June 3, 2009 right here at EdTechTalk at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific USA Wednesday / 01:00 UTC Thursdays World Times.
After the webcast, DeWayne sent around a statement by a student that represents his thinking on resilience: "Overall, I feel as though I have accomplished the impossible. I has not been easy, nor has it been without failure, but it has been the hardships that have made the successes not only more important but much more meaningful."
Another example from DeWayne:
A student from this semester with visual impairment represents the resilience needed to make it through school. Some days he was angry. Some days he seemed lost because he could not see the white board, the classroom text books, or the computer screens. He had to learn how to make requests of staff, faculty, and students--in a mature and respectful manner that placed people in a mode of wanting to help him. At the beginning of the semester, most comments were angry and forceful. Toward the end of the semester, the comments shifted to engaging others in helping him solve his problems by his suggesting possible alternate ways for others to provide him work. He had moved to appreciating his academic skills and his need to master even subjects he detested. This young father became an agent in his learning, not just a bystander hoping to gather some crumbs from what others distributed at will. I call him my "Seeing Better Now" student.
Suzanne wanted to add to the conversation that she found the webcast to be "inspirational...much needed right now!" She continues, "I've been thinking about the development of the resiliency research. It began, I believe with Emmy Werner's work in Kauai. Bonnie Benard built on that work, and later researchers like Tim Burns and Nan Henderson built on Benard's work. My husband did his doctoral work by creating a sort of backward resilience study with students in a small rural high school who had been in the community since kindergarten."
Suzanne also points us to what might be next:
I'm wondering if there's a place for new thinking... where to from here... in our next conversation [June 3]. Is there a place for us to continue the work? Dewayne's study of persistance is powerful, as is thinking about the far reaching results of Kentucky's professional learning community. Around here [Northern California], many of our schools used to use Dorothy Rich's book MegaSkils to foster resiliency, but shifted to a weekly list of character traits, which everyone is finding not nearly as effective as people had hoped. This is certainly a perfect time to revisit resiliency. New applications...New ideas...California teachers for sure are hungry for any hopeful thinking!
Finally, Suzanne point us to an article, "Fostering Resiliency in Kids," Bonnie Benard, Educational Leadership Vol. 51, Number 3 November 1993. Other resources for Benard's work can be found at this National Writing Project resource: The Importance of Resiliency in Learning and Writing, by Art Peterson.
It's probably evident that this is an ongoing conversation between theory and practice. We would love to include your story of what you have learned from your resilient students. How has working with students such as the ones in this podcast transformed your teaching? We would be pleased if you would take the time to describe the students in your classroom by leaving a comment.
And, of course, please join us again on Wednesday June 3, 2009 right here at EdTechTalk at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific USA Wednesday / 01:00 UTC Thursdays World Times.

2009-04-23 13:19:39 sarah H -> Our HOS started twittering recently. He follows just a few people, including me, so I am feeling paranoid lately.

2009-04-23 13:20:09 matt montagne -> unanticipated outcomes of these resources is the beauty

2009-04-23 13:20:58 Melissa Smith -> what was the reaction of the teachers to have to use this tool? is there a 140 character limit?

2009-04-23 13:23:06 arvind -> @bill I thought people would need more of a reason to join Yammer, but they got it fast. There is a happy hour group, which people get, then there are professional-type groups

Did you know Michael Wesch has only been a professor for 5 years? Listen in as we ask how he manages to engage and teach 400 students at once. The interview is great, the chat room was rocking so much it is going to take me a couple of reads to get all the great links and reflective conversations that were going on.

We have a least three reasons for you to listen to this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers.
Last semester, Susan Ettenheim, Sarah Sutter, and Chris Sloan brought their digital photography together on Youth Voices. Susan and Sarah had their students share final projects in the week before this podcast. In the beginning of this podcast, Susan and Sarah talk about their work together from this semester, and where it might go in the future. Also, you might want to check out more at their online community: Digital Photography | Youth Voices.
The middle half-hour of this podcast is devoted to a lively conversation with Peter Jaszi from the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at Washington College of Law, American University. Professor Jaszi has been one of the coordinators of a process of knowledge-building and consensus-making that recently led to the publication of the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for media Literacy Education -- http://centerforsocialmedia.org/medialiteracy. Those of us who work with students to publish, distribute and discuss their work online are always dealing with issues of copyright and intellectual property. It was exciting to re-think the issues of fair use with Peter Jaszi.
Two MIT alumni also joined us on this podcast. Jack Yu and Nori Yoshida were roommates at MIT, and now they've launched an SAT vocabulary video contest at Brainyflix.com. We asked them how came up with this for using Internet tools to help young people with the SAT. We also wondered what else they are planning.

Linda, a senior in high school started the ball rolling that led to this podcast with her Open Call for Bloggers:
I've been thinking lately about how awesome it would be to have a group of high school students (seniors preferred, juniors okay as well) blog about the college admissions process and then possibly continue their blog through their freshman year of college....
SO. Here's my proposition: If you know of any high school seniors that would be interested in this or you're a fellow high school senior yourself--feel free to contact me through Blogger or via e-mail @ Brooklynita@gmail.com
We put Linda in touch with Lindsea, who blogs at Love & Logic and at Students 2.0, because she is also a senior at Panahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii. And we invited Linda and Lindsea onto Teachers Teaching Teachers to tell us about their journies into the college admissions process.
We also invited two seniors who have been working with Chris Sloan at Judge Memorial Catholic High School:
Alli, who blogs at Fibers
Katie, whose post, "YES WE CAN: my experience in Grant Park on election day," drew a lot of interest on Youth Voices in November.
We were also joined by a recent graduate from Mt. Holyoke College, Mattie... and toward the end Jack Yu let us know about the work he has been doing to help high school students learn SAT vocabulary words on Brainyflix.
Enjoy this free-wheeling conversation with these young bloggers. Imagine with them what the college application process would look like if admissions officers were available on Twitter, and they could take the time to really follow these students' online lives. These young women would love for a college to Google them!
