Alan November says, "Most American educators, who go to education technology conferences by choice, don't know how to use the Web."

Perfect! We will be listening.

OUCH!! and say hi to Alan for me. I'll see him next week at BLC.

Luck Joe!

Alan November says, "Powerpoint is temporary." His daughter had to sit through 29 powerpoints from classmates..."

"look it up!"

Alan November says, "The teacher should have had them collaborate through Google and produce one presentation."

Who's Phyjek?

Who owns the learning?

Dang! He's sitting right beside me...

How do we transfer the ownership of the learning?

Alan November says, "We're spending to much time teaching teachers how to use technology. That needs to stop!"

Alan November says, "Every classroom will have a researcher, will design their own search engine..."

Alan November says, "If there were kids in this workshop, they'd be getting angry!" "It's this easy? We could have been doing this?"

AN: why shouldn't every kid be building a search engine.

Alan November Says, "Teaching, the Culture, does not value collaboration."

Alan November says, "I'll stop insulting you now!"

AN: Every class needs an official scribe.

Alan November says, "Each class should have an official scribe!"

Alan November says, "You don't need everyone taking the same notes. Use Google Docs and have note-taking experts collaborate there."

November's being pretty tough! I'm glad!

Alan November says, "Students will develop their own instructional resources -- think student-produced screen casts." Brilliant!

Brilliant use of Plurk, Mr. Warlick.

dwarlick Sounds similar to what Alan said at NECC about Google Docs, student researcher & building their own search engines (I need to do)

A.N. is demonstrating Jing. The last time I tried it, it was too clunky. I use IShowYou. Happy with it!

yes, many pieces from that session

Alan November says, "the teacher's voice is not enough. You need more voices of teaching in every classroom."

AN: Use Jing to create tutorials.

Alan November says, "This is all free!" "is there any reason why students shouldn't be producing content for the entire curriculum?"

wondering why we're getting double postings regarding same topic...?

Alan November says, "That we don't have a culture that values learning by teaching yourself." We'd rather teach students how to be taught.

To Ginger, "There are two people Plurking this session! Not coordinating very well."

Yep, that's what I was saying. Kinda "funny" here for the audience. Kinda was digging reading the dwarlick posts.

I'm not even going to pass on what he's saying now! This guy's got a lot of guts!

I'm a southerner. I'd not say these things!

Dang!

You're quoting him...no one will hold you to it. I *love* inflammatory statements that make people question their own beliefs.

Alan November says, "The next classroom job is the Curriculum Reviewer!"

Alan November shows Room 208 podcast. He says, "This isn't podcasting! It's leadership and publishing!" I think that's right.

It's not about the podcasting, it's about the learning and the communication. It's about the literacy!

But would more people at NECC attendee a session called "Student Leadership and Publishing," or a session about "Podcasting"?

hopes that people can start getting away from the tool and get to the usage. Tools change but learning sticks.

If teachers are using podcasting to simply deliver lectures or info, that seems very web 1.0 to me.

I think we need more Pedagogy of Podcasting sessions that scaffold teacher thinking/understanding into student leadership and publishing

we need to remain focused on student learning, growth. It is not the tools be what we do with them that are important.

Phill's taking this one!

that the constructivist nature of a student created podcast can demonstrate acquisition of knowledge.

dueling plurkers! Thank you to all! Alan November is a genius.

we're not dueling, we're collaborating!

Alan says that children used to contribute; we used to value that contribution and we need to go back to that time.

oh right! sorry......what was I thinking! This is a great use of plurk!

We're waiting for job number 5...

this is good "stuff." Thanks for bringing us in like this, Dave. Is this being broadcast anywhere?

Alan November says, "We should treat students to share knowledge." Make the kids the teachers.

Alan is talking about Kiva -- www.kiva.org/

Alan says, "That's why the web was invented -- to make the world a better place!"

Alan Says, "It's not about technology, It's about changing the culture of the teaching and the learning!"

I think he's done!

Thanks you guys!

a gracious bow!

Alan receives aplauds!

Thanks!

*clap clap* for phyjek and dwarlick for sharing! Thank you!

/clap /clap loved hearing Alan's ideas

mrichme, the simplicity of most Web 2.0 tools make using them more seamless with learning b/c of shallow learning curve.

I'm reading through these "One Liners" and keep picturing someone playing rim shots after Alan's lines.

"We don't have a culture that values learning by teaching yourself." Badum Ching! Is this thing on?
