Chatter, new term for me...
Need to call an eleven year old to find out what this means!

Hi Jan,
Good meeting you last week. I have been catching up on a few of your blog suggestions, thanks for adding them. This is a neat space, I hope I can be part of the discussion.

Hi Meg, I'm enjoying this group as well. We were taking the first steps of understanding social computing and it's application in regular life as well as teacher's lives. I wasn't ready to promote social computing in the form of tech apps outside of CMS/LMS because that is simply too problematic at this time. What I was promoting is an understanding of how all of this is affecting student lives with or without appropriate education or intervention and the need for teachers to be in the know and capable of supporting social computing literacy and ethics. Anyway, one way that we are supporting social computing in the classroom is with open source CMS/LMS like Moodle and aTutor.

My evaluation received on the workshop was decent, 4.6 out of 5 overall. They were very receptive and interested with lots of questions. There were conversations about Second Life and MySpace. My teachers were pretty much at the beginning with a few exceptions. Discussing Web 2.0 was a trip.
:)

Julia,
I agree with you, I really tried to understand social networking, but until I jumped in and begin to learn together. I am teaching administrators tomorrow and I hope to have a richer conversation helpign them better understand the how and the why of social networking. Stay tuned as I teach tech camp the next few weeks and involve more teachers in teh conversation! Thanks for the feedback about the conversations about second life and social networking, I will share mine tomorrow!
Thanks for being part of my network!

OMG - I have to get a better picture that does not degrade to a big smush and actually matches my current hair! If I'm going to do this social network thing, it might as well be with Meg. We've done crazier things in the past...
Good to connect again, friend!

Meg,
Great site - I'm glad to reconnect. We always have great fun! lol

Fun a theme, for me in Real life and Second Life, today I was appointed "director of fun" for a planning committee I am on! What a great title! Gina welcome you look great as always! Margaret we need to find a picture that captures your great smile!!

Have fun teaching! Hey, we just purchased an island in SL! Not sure where it is located quite yet, but should know soon!

Great keep me posted!
On the teen grid, for teaching and learning? Keep me in the loop about that! Have fun at NECC, I will be joining you in the aquarium in SL, I hope.

Meg,
Sounds like we are SL relatives. My name is MsK Writer.
:) I can't wait to see your place!

Keisa,
Come over for a visit! My house is (SL) Meg Writer

A long lost relative!

Hi Meg, I've been to SL a few times this week. Thanks for the "landmarks". I met a fellow named Ropath Oh and he gave me a bunch of clothes and hair. I lost me hair and he offered to sign in as me so he could get it back on my head. Yikes! Anyway, he said he met you and helped you out. I was kinda freaked! It's weird meeting a perfect stranger man who offer to give me a bunch of clothes and capture my hair. Do you remember him?

Hi Meg,
Greg here from Lenawee. Hope you are well. Were you at NECC?

Hi Meg, We are neighbors. I am also consulting in education around how to integrate media into curricula. Hope you can check out some of my student projects.

Yes - would love to see what they've done. I taught teachers last summer from D 65 but found teaching teachers to be especially challenging work.

Meg, Thank you for the inivite. I have been dancing around SL, and needed some encouragement to go on inside. My SL name is Caroline Nicholls. Looking forward to it.

Hi Meg,
Thanks for the invite. I am glad to get to know you and your blog. I just read it and found it interesting and enjoyable. I am especially interested in your SL postings, being a brand new visitor, Rosario Rasmuson. I have ventured in once or twice, but am still pretty lost.
Anyway, am adding your blog to my feed and will enjoy keeping up with you.

Hi, I have just started SL and hoping to learn more.
Any suggestions would be helpful. I will try to find you there.

Hi, Meg,
I will have to put some time into SL and get more comfortable but do see the possibilities for learning on that platform.
Just turned on my iPhone and will be exploring its use in the coming weeks. Thanks for your welcome!

Hi Meg! I have seen you at conferences, and my superintendent, Dan Marenda, speaks so highly of you! Can't wait to collaborate!

I'll tell Dan you said hi! I did check out your tech camp, only briefly though. I checked out SL too after reading your comments. What an awesome program. Do you have documnetation on the educaitonal benfits of SL? I am dreaming up some new programs for my middle school kids and am tempted to include it. Teri

I was excited to check it out after your presentation last Friday. I'm becoming quite the technophile. :) Thanks for all the great tools. I can't wait to try skyping next!

Hi Meg! Great to see you again at the conference. I am recharged and ready to bring some great ideas into the classroom! It's worth the fight watching what the kids can do!!! Thanks for the advice too! :-)
