SusanneN to SusanEB you missed the tour but there atre tours on the TI calendar every week.

ButhainaA joined the room. AndrewP: Curt I see you are not too far away from the Illinois border. One day we'll have to meet up somewhere. I'll be inSprngfield IL this week in meetings with the state. CurtB: I have even had online seances of long since dead psychologists in my learning theory class FernandaR joined the room.

DafneG left the room (signed off). ButhainaA: thanks, Andy and yes we did have a great time SusanneN: Oh, much more quiet in here CurtB: so you might use a quote from someone like John Dewey from 1904 to solve a problem of 2004 SusanneN: we had a lot of chaos downstairs VanceS: If you would like to try any techniques on us now, feel free MariaGst1 joined the room. CurtB: summarize key pts DafneG joined the room. SusanneN: Curt, using quotations does not solve problems but night shed some new light on them ... ButhainaA: I agree Curt..Dewy is great on wasting time issues..and i support his approach CurtB: and relate to previous chats with someone else, Vance RobertWB joined the room. VanceS: sorry, curt, meaning ... ? FernandaR: this is really chaos today ... I managed to be in 3 different rooms ... :)) RobertWB: Am I in the right place? DafneG: yes, bob VanceS: I think so Bob CurtB: having them quote from Dewey or Wundt or Vygotsky (or whatever your content area is) gets them to learn the material in a different way RobertWB: tx MargaretD: I think the problem is one of focus MariaGst1: At last I found Vance's office...have I? CurtB: Hi maria! DafneG: yes, Maria ButhainaA: oh, got you Curt, wow quite interesting MariaGst1: thanks ButhainaA: hi Maria SusanneN: Ok, NOW I got your idea, sorry, Curt!

SusanneN: I was away and forgot about your idea of role taking MichaelAC thanks Curt for dropping in and quietly bids everyone farewell. It's bed time down under. TeresaD: but that could also be achieved f2f, couldn't it, curt? however, the audience can be much bigger online and the potential is bigger, too CurtB: yes, and then you can invite people from other places to play roles of those my students have not selected SusanneN: Characters could even disagree in their discussions, I suppose CurtB: Goodbye Michael CurtB: hope to get there someday AndrewP: bye Michael we will be in touch by email this coming week ButhainaA: But you are talking about teachers as students, Curt, what about us EFL teachers, any suggestions, Curt?

VanceS: I just asked Curt in an aside if he'd like to try it, so those who want can go there CurtB: I sometimes bring in a guest for sync chat with my students and enter into the system multiple times so I can be myself and other people. Last time I was Sir Edmund Hillary, Mother Teresa, Q from Star Trek, etc., and they had not clue RobertWB: Perhaps, someone ought to post a list of 100 things, Teresa. VanceS: as well as stay here VanceS: I presume you are there, Andy? DafneG: I think that when language is taught trough content there are many more possibilities to design motivating and relevant activities online AndrewP: I"m monitoring all the portals from a master control panel and can see who is present in each portal VanceS: I've come is as my own alter ego MariaGst1: I must leave you now. It's been my first TI experience and I enjoyed it, although it's been a little confusing to follow all the threads...

AidenY: we can do a lot with role play, Curt, the idea of students being teachers is a good one, as a matter of fact, Arnold and I did something like this last year CurtB: I created a list of online mentoring resources once; some of these links might prove useful for cross cultural collaboration in an EFL program http://www.indiana.edu/~tickit/resourcecenter/resource3.htm AidenY: and I'm planning to do it again for my Advanced EFL students CurtB: sounds good Teresa TeresaD: you can count on me, if necessary, aiden :-) CurtB: did it work JuanaB: that will be helpful for me,too Aiden.

There are 5 there now ButhainaA: Aiden, you know you've lawyas an inspiration to me, this would be a great way to have Ss purchase web cams, indirectly. CurtB: ok, go to Google and type" One computer classroom" and many web pages show up with hundreds of strategies such as this one http://danenet.wicip.org/mmsd-it/tlc/1comprm.html AidenY: Peter, in my case, I always have a topic where my students talk about or present VanceS: is this an internet connected 1-c classroom? CurtB: you might take a reverse view and see how having just one computer is so much better than everyone having one AidenY: we have computers in the lab but you might find this interesting, I'm now opting for a one computer proejct TeresaD: right, curt. see the positive side of it JuanaB: I opened Alado,Vance but I can? t log in DafneG: Arnold has done a great job getting the appendixes of my dissertation on a CD, a beautiful page, Aiden AidenY: due to bandwidth problems VanceS: Juani, do you see 'login information' ? PeterSi: I also tend to agree with the one comp idea, they concentrate on one things CurtB: yes, the focus you can have. the planning that students learn, they have to summarize rather than go on and on VanceS: or ys there can be a firewall issue VanceS: or a java one JuanaB left the room. SusanneN: summarizing can be a great help for reflections AidenY: in my case, it has always been the bandwidth AidenY: so having 30 computers in the lab seem really useles RobertWB: I cant seem to get in at Alado.

VanceS: you clikc on Login Information first AidenY: great Daf, I'd love to see that one VanceS: Juani got in btw SusanneN nods to Daf, that was great work and slimming the paper load VanceS: Curt have you encountered any otehr groups like this one in your cyber travels?

CurtB: great, as I said Buthaina, there are many more sites you can find in a Google search and lots of advice on that TeresaD: curt, this page will give you quite a good idea of webheads activities TeresaD: http://www.malhatlantica.pt/teresadeca/webheads/wia-index.htm AidenY: Buth, it's either the teacher does not have technical resources or in my case, I opt to use one DafneG: Sus, Elizabeth, Mike and I worked on a collaborative video-chat project with students in Venezuela http://dafnegon.tripod.com/videochat/videochat-unit.htm SusanEsn: sorry, just got in w/out saying, hi to all of you AidenY: remember the last project I did with Michael, Vance and Daf, TeresaD: i need to update it with vance's work in cairo AidenY: many of them were frustrated because they could not hear or soemtimes be heard CurtB: thanks Teresa! so Webheads is a community! ButhainaA: Yes, Aiden DafneG: yes, but the text chat was there for them to communicate AidenY: they ended up typing instead of 'talking' using their voice CurtB: What makes for a community online?

ButhainaA: hope you don't mind this one Vance: http://alothman-b.tripod.com/vance_dancing_cairo_jan2304.htm VanceS: when I flagged, others took the torch DafneG: one of our participants at BaW has written a paper about Webheads JuanaB left the room (signed off).
