I'm planning on making a couple of presentations of the kind you describe - an overview of what's availabe and why use it - later this year, and I'm tagging sites that have ideas, quotes, and/or examples of good presentations that I could use. Not quite your 1-wonderful-wiki idea, but close. I'd definitely be interested in what you suggest, tho I don't have much to contribute at the moment. The presentations I'm doing will be reports, just 30 minutes, not hands-on workshops (I'm working on one of those, too).Guy Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096668246272788520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-1142264682754455342006-03-13T09:44:00.000-06:002006-03-13T09:44:00.000-06:00Welcome aboard Barry!Here's how to move this idea ...Welcome aboard Barry!<BR/><BR/>Here's how to move this idea forward:<BR/><BR/>Use my stuff, contribute some of your own, whenever you give a session using this stuff record the audio (you can upload it to <A HREF="http://ourmedia.org/" REL="nofollow">Ourmedia.org</A> (sign up for a free account to get unlimited storage of all your stuff; forever)) and post it to the wiki.<BR/><BR/>Over time I imagine this growing into a living example of what Web 2.0 is all about and a resouce with a variety of speakers sharing their knowledge and expertise with the world. <BR/><BR/><I>Now if that doesn't sound grandiloquent I don't know what does.</I> ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-1142263110960667322006-03-13T09:18:00.000-06:002006-03-13T09:18:00.000-06:00Hello Darren,I've been reading your blog for a cou...Hello Darren,<BR/><BR/>I've been reading your blog for a couple months now and always learn useful stuff from you and the other 40 educational bloggers I get feeds from.<BR/><BR/>I would love to collaborate on a project like this. I am preparing to do several similar workshops within the next few weeks at my college and then will likely take the show on the road to some other Minnesota colleges over the next year.<BR/><BR/>The shared wiki would be not only a great tool for organizing the presentation materials, but also an excellent example of the power of a wiki which should help drive home the point of the workshop being given.<BR/><BR/>Count me in if there is anything I can do other than use your materials. :)Barry Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05284773671664980506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-1142224909368586502006-03-12T22:41:00.000-06:002006-03-12T22:41:00.000-06:00Glen: Glad to have you along. ;-)Bud: As always, y...Glen: Glad to have you along. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Bud: As always, you've articulated the issue more elegantly and succinctly than I could have. I haven't seen the EdTechTalk wiki ... I'll have to check it out before Friday. ;-)<BR/><BR/>John: Glad to have you there. At the end of the first hour I'm picking up on an idea I got from <A HREF="http://weblogs.elearning.ubc.ca/brian/" REL="nofollow">Brian Lamb</A>; I'm going to create a Muddiest Point page on the wiki and have participants learn how to edit a wiki while at the same time sharing their "muddiest points." Until then, it might not be much to watch. But y'know what would be real cool? If you (or anyone else who reads this) edits the wiki in real time in response to the things that they write. Hey, how would you like to do that? Check in at about 2:30 pm (central time) if you're up for it. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Chris: You've nailed the exact image I was thinking of ... that's the nature of the audio I'm going to embed on the homepage. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-1142202063748505282006-03-12T16:21:00.000-06:002006-03-12T16:21:00.000-06:00Hi Darren,What a cool concept!

Mind if I observe online on Friday?<BR/><BR/>Here's a link to some of the resources I've gleaned in the last week or so on wikis and podcasting: http://nlcommunities.com/communities/joevans/articles/Podcasting_and_Wiki_Links.aspx<BR/><BR/>You likely have all of the information already but thought I'd shoot it your way just in case.<BR/><BR/>Also this joke from the CJOB joke page:<BR/>At Heathrow Airport an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight. He was in possession of a compass, a protractor, and a graphical calculator.<BR/><BR/>Authorities believe he is a member of the notorious al-Gebra movement.<BR/><BR/>He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction<BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>John Evans -another MB teacherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-1142197463755223812006-03-12T15:04:00.000-06:002006-03-12T15:04:00.000-06:00Darren, As usual, you're up to some good thinking...Darren,<BR/><BR/> As usual, you're up to some good thinking and doing. A nice combination. I'm wondering, too, about all the re-creation that each of us is doing as we try to "spread the love" of these tools and their classroom potential. I'm interested to see what develops. I just put in a couple of hours of work on the EdTechTalk wiki, and I think that a site like that or like yours (or both) is important. The question becomes -- are they doing the same thing or a different thing? How can we build tools that will help everyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-1142188667915079322006-03-12T12:37:00.000-06:002006-03-12T12:37:00.000-06:00Great Stuff !I taught a Web 2.0 seminar this weeke...Great Stuff !<BR/><BR/>I taught a Web 2.0 seminar this weekend to the 32 Elementary Principals in my district. I had 2 hours 7 pm - 9 pm. It was the kickoff session for a 3 day retreat in Leavenworth, Washington.<BR/><BR/>Not only did they experience Whiplash...but also headaches, upset stomach, & dizzy spells...I think it was my presentation style...I could have used this stuff.<BR/><BR/>Count me in, for selfish reasons. :)<BR/><BR/>Skype = GEMalone...I'm a rookie skyper and have a small contact list...but size isn't important :)Dr. Glenn E.

I wish I were there. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Like I said in my post, all this "web 2.0" stuff is really about the power of collaboration; go ahead and use any of my ideas in your workshop -- I'm flattered. I don't really think of it as stealing. The way I see it, if we really wanted to maintain proprietary rights to our ideas we wouldn't blog them. We all benefit far more by working together.<BR/><BR/>This would be a great idea for Shifted Learning! It's gotten quiet about that, perhaps your suggestion will encourage some movement there. ;-)<BR/><BR/>And as far as skypeing in visitors from afar goes -- I <B>highly</B> recommend it. It's always a real eye opener for people who are not yet part of our community to see/hear skype in action. If you use <A HREF="www.gizmoproject.com" REL="nofollow">Gizmo</A> you can also record the call. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-1142161852783285882006-03-12T05:10:00.000-06:002006-03-12T05:10:00.000-06:00Darren, this is a great idea.

I am intending to do a presentation about Blogging As Professional Development with two other Adelaide edubloggers, Bill Kerr and Al Upton and this would help our planning. Our presentation would probably borrow heavily from other ideas all over the edublogosphere (including yours!) so the plug and play wiki would work a treat. For example, we might want to skype in a fellow blogger during a presentation from North America or Europe which would be directly stealing your idea from OLE. But we'd feel better if it was a suggested method or component of a Blogging workshop - hope this idea gains momentum. Where might you start it up - how about at Shifted Learning?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11154418.post-1142142341936196072006-03-11T23:45:00.000-06:002006-03-11T23:45:00.000-06:00Now that you mention it I remember reading about t...Now that you mention it I remember reading about that!
