 01:24 ustreamer-82634 : i hear audio - no problem

 01:27 KarenJanowski : the power of twitter lets us see this presentation virtually

 01:27 tsakshaug : prefer the power of Plurk

 01:27 ustreamer-32644 : I am here because of twitter

 01:27 KarenJanowski : @tsakshaug - did you plurk this?

 01:27 ustreamer-73185 : yup me too - thanks to wes

 01:27 tsakshaug : nope

 01:28 tsakshaug : will do so

 01:28 KarenJanowski : Hi, everyone

 01:28 KarenJanowski : so wish I were there!

 01:28 ustreamer-32644 : Why Plurk?

 01:29 tsakshaug : more conversational

 01:29 ustreamer-32644 : Thanks

 01:29 KarenJanowski : i use both but still prefer twitter

 01:30 KarenJanowski : it is the best professional development - we benefit from collective wisdom

 01:30 tsakshaug : depends on needs, I look at twitter as more announcements and plurk more sharing

 01:30 Kevin-9994 : Peeking in for a few

 01:30 ustreamer-32644 : Can plurk and twitter merge for individually? (thanporter)

 01:31 tsakshaug : you can cross post, but I just have both open on my other computer

 01:32 ustreamer-32644 : Does FriendFeed come into this mix at all?

 01:33 tsakshaug : who is giving the pres? Tweet name?

 01:33 KarenJanowski : @bknittle

 01:33 KarenJanowski : right now @wsfryer is speaking

 01:33 KarenJanowski : oops @wfryer

 01:36 jepcke : A twitter post brought me here!

 01:37 KarenJanowski : @jepcke - welcome!

 01:37 ustreamer-91263 : @CharleneBlohm - thanks to @wfryer for heads-up about this preso

 01:37 jepcke : Hi @KarenJan

 01:37 tsakshaug : more sound please

 01:37 tsakshaug : except when Wes talks

 01:37 wfryer : i have volume at max...

 01:37 jerthebear : It really stinks that the people search is currently disabled

 01:38 ustreamer-61515 : why is the people search disabled?

 01:38 jepcke : @jerbear I agree. Do we know what is up with that?

 01:38 ustreamer-61515 : that's been driving me crazy

 01:38 KarenJanowski : me, too!

 01:38 tsakshaug : been that way for awhile

 01:38 ustreamer-91263 : it's been down for 10 days!

 01:38 jerthebear : Yeah...it's been down for a couple of months

 01:38 ustreamer-61515 : any talk of it being added back in?

 01:38 ustreamer-61515 : or fixed

 01:38 jepcke : Does the people search on twitter clients, like tweetdeck, etc work?

 01:39 jerthebear : Twihrl only allows searches on tweets, not people

 01:40 Kevin-9994 : extending neocortex with network,  today's think tank model!

 01:41 jerthebear : Show them http://justtweetit.com/

 01:41 Kevin-9994 : Plurk!

 01:42 jerthebear : Another great one is http://twitter4teachers.pbwiki.com/FrontPage

 01:42 KarenJanowski : @kevin- avoiding getting my work done, love these distractions

 01:42 Kevin-9994 : lol

 01:42 Kevin-9994 : I know!

 01:42 Kevin-9994 : too fun!

 01:43 jepcke : and justtweetit,com is helpful

 01:43 erniec : nice resource for teachers - thanks

 01:43 CharleneBlohm : might be a good idea to explain what a pbwiki is....

 01:44 jerthebear : It's an open wiki

 01:44 CharleneBlohm : but do others know that

 01:44 jerthebear : @charlene, I was responding to Will :)

 01:45 CharleneBlohm : :-)

 01:45 wfryer : @jerthebear thanks for that link!

 01:45 jerthebear : @wfryer my pleasure, happy to help

 01:45 erniec : i'm liking this - the benefit of conference attendance - no airplanes, hotel beds or dry chicken dinners

 01:45 Kevin-9994 : rotfl!

 01:45 jepcke : @karenjan let me know when you are done with the wiki

 01:45 ustreamer-61515 : thanks for both above links, great resources I didnt know about

 01:46 erniec : @ wfryer thanks for ustreaming this wes

 01:46 jepcke : The Power of the Human Network

 01:46 tsakshaug : what is this one?

 01:47 jepcke : @tsakshaug ?

 01:47 KarenJanowski : @jepcke - done

 01:47 tsakshaug : I mean the site you are showing?

 01:47 erniec : how do i clear up the resolution on ustream?

 01:47 jepcke : The ustream feed?

 01:47 KarenJanowski : had trouble adding my link - how do i link my twitter name to my account?

 01:47 Kevin-9994 : correct

 01:47 jerthebear : just read an article that 1 in 10 college admission officers look at social networks...40% of them say it had a negative impact on college admission

 01:47 tsakshaug : thought I heard her say a directory, or am I wrong

 01:48 jepcke : @karenjan Link to: www.twitter.com/karenjan

 01:48 Kevin-9994 : If we play there and learn, we have better feedback and advice for kids!

 01:48 KarenJanowski : @jepcke - thanks!

 01:49 jepcke : @karenjan Let me know when u r done so I can update my info. :)

 01:49 Kevin-9994 : Gotta head out, thanks for streaming this!

 01:49 jepcke : By Kevin

 01:49 erniec : gtalking my mom about this ustream event while posting highlights on Twitter

 01:49 jepcke : oops Bye, I mean

 01:50 KarenJanowski : @jepcke - ok totally done now, i promise!

 01:50 KarenJanowski : this is awesome watching @bknittle & @wfryer co-present about twitter

 01:51 Kevin-9994 : @bknittle rocks!

 01:51 dendari : Many times a buisness personality almost can't be anonoymous, but personal profile often should be.

 01:51 jepcke : @KArenJan thanks!

 01:51 KarenJanowski : @bknittle - lol - the NE twitter meetup was fun, we need to do that again, with all the new MA twitter members

 01:53 jepcke : I started as a lurker

 01:54 KarenJanowski : and talk about DM also

 01:54 jepcke : now I'm presenting on Friday with someone I met via twitter on PLNs

 01:54 tsakshaug : hopefully doing a NECC pres with PLN people

 01:54 thanporter : well done with the camera and following the presentation.

 01:54 jerthebear : @jepcke very cool. I'd love to present more, but in my little county there are few opportunities

 01:55 fifer1863 : http://www.classroom20.com

 01:55 tsakshaug : I am doing a similar pres at NYSCATE

 01:55 jerthebear : I am presenting at FETC 2009 in Orlando in January...I'm excited about that

 01:55 erniec : @ jerthebear what topics?

 01:56 erniec : I need to start using tools like Ustream to present to audiences on non tech topics

 01:56 KarenJanowski : how many people are in the audience?

 01:56 jerthebear : "Online Tools to Enahnce the Classroom Experience" is what it's been named

 01:56 KarenJanowski : @jerthebear - for whom - the teacher or student?

 01:56 erniec : both

 01:56 jerthebear : yes, both

 01:56 erniec : put classroom teachers in particular.  

 01:57 jepcke : @jerbear FETC is an awesome place to present. I tend to present more at local (state) conferences.

 01:57 jerthebear : @erniec correct

 01:57 KarenJanowski : it's the kids who need their classroom experience enhances :-)

 01:57 erniec : showing the utility of the tool in a context of immediate interest and relevance to them

 01:57 jerthebear : @Karen correct, but the tools used by the teachers will enhance the classrooms for the students

 01:58 jepcke : @jerbear Maybe I'll be at FETC and come to your preso.

 01:58 KarenJanowski : @jerthebear - agree, most of the time. but we need to get feedback from our students about what they think

 01:58 ustreamer-61515 : I've been using twitter for almost a year now, but just found out a week ago that when I reply with @name even those who don't follow me get my messages

 01:58 erniec : if the teachers don't get it or care about it (it being tech tools) the classroom enchancement will never happen consistently

 01:58 ustreamer-61515 : i always assumed only those who follow me get replies

 01:58 jerthebear : @KJ I completely agree

 01:59 jepcke : @61515 Oops. Hope you weren't tweeting anything personal

 01:59 jerthebear : @jepcke That'd be great. I've been assigned Session number 1...not sure how many will attend so early in the conference

 02:00 KarenJanowski : @jerthebear - can you also include the fact that when our material is digital, it is now accessible to 99% of our students, including those with learning, intellectual, physical or visual disabilities

 02:00 tsakshaug : yeah plurk

 02:00 wfryer : what is the twitter search tool that was in use at the necc blogger's cafe?

 02:00 KarenJanowski : that is a huge reason to be using these tools

 02:00 jerthebear : @KJ I will...great point

 02:01 fifer1863 : I really like TweetDeck for searches.  Helps me to find others who are talking about similiar topics that I may not follow

 02:01 KarenJanowski : @jerth- it's my passion, it's my mission in life! thanks! it's all about helping all learning especially our struggling learners

 02:01 jepcke : I know Skip. He's always on Plurk

 02:01 jepcke : @fifer1863 I am a TweetDeck fan too

 02:02 KarenJanowski : thanks for ustreaming this Wes, must get back to work and wean myself off Twitter, at least for one hour

 02:04 tsakshaug : one day I will get a phone that can text

 02:05 wfryer : ok karen, you are welcome!

 02:05 jepcke : I'm not a fan of the karma

 02:05 tsakshaug : karma is a pia

 02:05 jepcke : ooh edmoto! Go @Zemote!

 02:06 jerthebear : great CommonCraft video for Twitter is at http://www.commoncraft.com/Twitter

 02:08 erniec : http://www.masscue.org/

 02:08 jepcke : @ernie Thanks. This group seems pretty sophisicated. Most places I present wouldn't even understand what a 'walled garden' is

 02:10 jerthebear : Wow...he mentioned RSS and nobody said "What the heck is that?" haha

 02:10 ustreamer-2100 : or are they just confused and quiet

 02:10 erniec : @jepcke i presented at a conference on Friday - one session was 50 elementary school classroom teachers

 02:11 erniec : the topic was Great Books

 02:11 erniec : even on that topic the flow of information down to the classroom level seems slow

 02:11 erniec : how do we improve it

 02:11 jepcke : You can also do Google Alerts for certain topics and twitter comes up, too

 02:11 jepcke : clap clap clap

 02:12 tsakshaug : good job ya'll

 02:12 jerthebear : YAY!

 02:12 jepcke : Great job folks

 02:12 fifer1863 : Thanks for sharing

 02:12 CharleneBlohm : Terrific!  Thanks!

 02:12 jepcke : What tool are they talking about that 'saved their lives'?

 02:12 ustreamer-2100 : what is that autographs?

 02:13 wfryer : you are all welcome!

 02:13 wfryer : I'll post the archive of this to speedofcreativity.org

 02:14 erniec : @wfryer thanks alot
