A message to all members of Classroom 2.0
Howdy, Classroom 2.0 Members!
I was pretty busy this last month organizing our first live CR 2.0 workshop
in San Francisco, but I have had a couple of days this week to finally pull
together something I've wanted to do for a while: regular audio (and soon
video) virtual "meet-ups" for Classroom 2.0 members.
The schedule for these talk-casts is on our wiki at
http://www.classroom20wiki.com/LIVE+Conversations.
I've scheduled sessions
starting tomorrow (!), and you are also welcome to add and facilitate any
events you would like that pertain to Classroom 2.0. Once we have a good
grasp of the different audio/video/whiteboard/desktop-sharing programs
available, we could even do some training sessions for those who want to
moderate. (Elluminate has generously agreed to provide access to their web
meeting software for these meetings, but until that's in place I've set up
to use Talkshoe.com for our first sessions. I've also put in some notes on
the best way to use Talkshoe, which you can see by clicking on the link in
the "medium" column.)
Tomorrow's session will be just an introduction and for fun, especially
since it's Valentine's Day here in the U.S. and we might get limited
participation from the more romantic crowd! :) Friday's session will be on
"Creative Commons, Open Content, and Copyright" in education. Then I've
listed some others for next week that would start us on a series of
discussions about different Web 2.0 programs in education. My thought is to
create enough variety in topics that most of our members will find something
they want to be a part of--or listen to later (we'll record the sessions so
they are available afterwards). I've also scheduled one for next week that
should accomodate non-North-American time zones--and could use some feedback
on doing that regularly, or even having a separate organizing facilitator.
I'm particularly interested in encouraging folks who might want to start and
facilitate their own series of Talk-casts--say, ""Web 2.0 in the History
Classroom," or the like. If you think that might be you, email me
separately and we can organize that on the wiki.
Thanks for being a part of Classroom 2.0! I'll look forward to talking to
those who join the calls.
