-><span style="color: #900;">Hmmm, it looks like Howard Rheingold infected our backchannel with his use of the term "colearners." Guess I should be honored. He is a famous technologist and writer -- and only a little strange (unless you remember the '60s) ;-) <br><br>I forgot to mention that Knitterchat captures tweets that include "colearners."</span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> Added lines 35-36:

-><span style="color: #900;">As I said during the presentation, KnitterChat is a personal experiment and I am constantly hacking it, trying new features. I recommend the following free tools for your consideration: * Backnoise -- http://backnoise.com * Backchan -- http://backchan.nl * Chatzy -- http://chatzy.com * Today's Meet -- http://todaysmeet.com/ (my favorite) </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> - dfw Added lines 64-65:
-><span style="color: #900;">I am not sure that I agree. As I said in the keynote, we don't need to find ways to integrate technology. What classrooms need is the effective integration of networked, digital and abundant information. It seems that with cell phones, we are trying to find ways to make due with them. If a cell phone screen was the ideal size for instructional delivery, then our textbooks would have been that small all along. We need to find the ideal tool for your students, not make due with what they have. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> Added lines 74-75:
-><span style="color: #900;">I am currently converting my latest book to digital with iBook Author, and the more I use it, this more impressed that I am. But we need to get past instructional delivery, and find ways for students to be more actively involved in their own learning. We need to stop teaching children how to be taught. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> Added lines 80-81:
-><span style="color: #900;">There has been a lot of research, especially with regards to reading in hypertext environments. But I suspect that much of the issue is generational. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> Added lines 98-99:
-><span style="color: #900;">And the industry has only been around since 2007. Where did those people learn those skills. Not in high school. They were people who life school with a passion for learning. Are all of our children graduating with that passion. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> Added lines 104-105:
-><span style="color: #900;">Yes! But I would suggest that your students become part of that formula. You need to invite some students to be part of your committees, and not the "A" students. Pick kids who are obviously bright, but not good students. We need to reach those kids. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'> Added lines 114-115:

What happened was that when they came home, they didn't have to leave their friends behind. They friends were almost like roommates.<br><br> Great conversation.
