Peggy GeorgeI found you on koreabridge.net thanks to Vance’s email brian deanGood evening.Maria ColussaHi all! it´s good to see you all! greetings from cloudy ArgentinaPeggy GeorgeHi Brian and Maria Maria ColussaPeggy! I woke up at 530 am here too to be in a hangout with a teacher friend´s class it was amazing!Peggy Georgelove that topic!Maria ColussaI love the “clap” feature on the live broadcastjefflebow(Admin)Hangout at: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYdDdYBjmEczP1F2PQROz9546BX6EK3HaLJFUcTQRdWKeM4vBg?authuser=0&hl=enMaria ColussaHi Rita!jefflebow(Admin)if anyone would like join inDaniel CraigI’ll stop by soon. Getting an impromptu piano concert from my son. Rare pleasure Vance StevensI’m keeping an eye here in case there are questions from the fieldPeggy GeorgeI’d like to hear Brian say more about his challenge related to the culture.Vance Stevensthere is space in the hangout, want to join us?Vance StevensI can paste the link herejefflebow(Admin)https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYdDdYBjmEczP1F2PQROz9546BX6EK3HaLJFUcTQRdWKeM4vBg?authuser=0&hl=enVance Stevenscheers, Jeffbrian deanJeff made a good point – I teach and the students understand, but they can’t change their habits for cultural reasons. As a minor example, Koreans often use domestic software that doesn’t always work with international equivalents.Peggy Georgethanks for clarifying that Brian. I definitely understand what you’re saying! The example helped a lot Peggy GeorgeI host and participate in a lot of online PD and one of the biggest challenges I notice is when so many teachers/participants aren’t able to use the tech tools and spend much of the meeting time dealing with audio/video/bandwidth issues, etc. and little time on the topic.Vance StevensI will try to pass this into the conversationVance Stevensor maybe Jeff will …Vance StevensWish you were with us, you could talk about K12 Online Vance StevensIs what you mentioned a challenge at K12?Peggy GeorgeI’m thinking that even though he doesn’t think they are discussing PD if they are collaborating on projects or work tasks that could be a form of PD (learning).jefflebow(Admin)koreatesol.org/ic2014Vance Stevensabsolutely, I see so many convergences, might mention them in a minutePeggy Georgeyou’re all making me really think about what PD really means. " class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> I think of it as professional learning not just participating in conference, webinars, workshops where there are presenters and conversation leaders. What do all of you consider “PD”? " class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />Peggy Georgegreat question Jeff!Peggy GeorgeVance is reminding me about the amazing online participation this past year during ISTE by people who weren’t able to attend physically. They used the hashtag #notatiste and many people were sharing links, photos, ideas being shared at the conference. Sharing and extending conversations went both ways.Maria ColussaI followed the #notatiste hashtag and had lots of fun and learningPeggy Georgehttp://learning2gether.pbworks.com/w/page/32206114/volunteersneeded#NextupcomingeventsVance Stevensthanks Peggy Vance Stevensincidentally, you might want to come on and tell us about K12 as in the past if you have timeDaniel CraigI join and leave spaces. listservs, TappedIn, various conferencing sites, nings, blogs, FB, Twitter, ….Peggy GeorgeThe K12 Online Conference is coming soon!! Pre-conference keynote is Oct. 13th: Wes Fryer and the conference runs for 2 weeks from Oct. 20-31. http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=2429 All FREE and asynchronous so time zones aren’t an issue Vance Stevenson a sunday, see http://learning2gether.pbworks.com/w/page/32206114/volunteersneeded#SunOct19LEARNING2GETHERisopenforavolunteerpresenterordiscussionhost for an ideaDaniel CraigI tend to get off them for one reason or other and don’t go back. Or at least when I do, I’m no longer so investedPeggy GeorgeThere are so many great curation tools Peggy Georgethat’s true Jeff–scoop.it requires two clicks to get to the source but the same is true for Pearltrees Peggy GeorgeI love scoop.it, pearltrees, list.ly and Livebinders for compiling/curating resources to share with others.Vance Stevensin a way that’s annoying but then again, I often give the scoopit link because it includes my commentsPeggy GeorgeMy personal favorite way to compile my own resources and easily share out individual links is Diigo (same as Jeff) but I don’t tend to share those bookmarks as lists like I do with Livebinders or scoop.it.Vance StevensI’d like to learn more about Livebinders, I see it used often on your sites without really knowing what it doesjefflebow(Admin)Mike’s Blog: http://eltrantsreviewsreflections.wordpress.com/Peggy GeorgeI love getting the regular daily emails from scoop.it with the latest additions from the people I follow. Great visual way to get my batteries charged Vance Stevensit’s another way and it’s effective, for mePeggy Georgefascinating thoughts about blogs and their purpose Peggy Georgeare all of you planning to participate in Connected Educator Month activities this month? http://connectededucators.org/http://connectededucators.org/Peggy GeorgeFeedly does a very good job of replaced Google Reader for me.

CJonesOffering sessions is part of my own PDFPeggy GeorgeSkype to collaborate and plan brian deanEllo is new and possibly in ‘beta’ whatever exactly that means.Peggy Georgepeople tend to use hangouts more than Skype these days but Skype is still a very stable way to communicate both with audio and video.Peggy Georgecalendars for upcoming shows is a huge help!!! I rely on those a lot!Peggy GeorgeI love being able to subscribe to the Google calendars for events I want to keep up with.brian deanIt is challenging to use Skype with a group – or it used to be. Maybe, I am out of date.Peggy GeorgeI subscribe to the edtechtalk calendars " class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> also Vance’s calendar " class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />Vance Stevensmy google calendar? (wondering which one)Peggy GeorgeI participate in at least 5 webinars a week (all free) from http://www.edweb.net and they are all excellent PD for teachers/educators.Peggy GeorgeedWeb has learning communities for ongoing sharing beyond the webinars and it’s a great way to ask questions and get new resources/links.Vance Stevensyou put me on to that, it’s listed at L2gPeggy GeorgePeggy GeorgeI subscribe to the edweb calendars too because it’s such an easy way to keep up with what’s coming up each day.Peggy GeorgeSteve Hargadon’s Learning Revolution site also has a fabulous calendar that brings together events from many groups/organizations including all of the great virtual conferences. http://learningrevolution.com/Peggy George thanks JeffCJonesThank you Vance for posting this on your site.
