Haven't seen it. 21:21:28 PeggyG : There are times when I get DM in email before it comes through Twitter. Strange. 21:21:59 mrsdurff : I don't get what Cathy is saying 21:22:42 PeggyG : How are you tracking your Twitter messages, Cathy?

I videotaped it and will get it uploaded soon. It was a definite highlight for me! 21:27:07 SROSEMAN : Thanks Peggy 21:27:21 mrsdurff : not unusual, you're highly intelligent 21:27:39 PeggyG : NECC Unplugged was awesome! So many great sessions and great connections with people! 21:28:02 JoseRodriguez : Boo, Let me get my headphones 21:28:43 mrsdurff : Anyone take pictures while Parisi was webcasting? 21:28:52 SROSEMAN : Vicki Davis's smackdown was a highlight 21:28:56 SROSEMAN : http://www.edubloggercon.com/Web+2.0+Smackdown 21:28:59 mrsdurff : From NECC on Mon & Tue 21:29:04 PeggyG : Chris Lehman did a fantastic, interactive session on Understanding by Design--the group actually created a unit using UBD. 21:29:40 mrsdurff : hey jen 21:29:50 JenW : Hey Lisa 21:29:54 PeggyG : I took hundreds of pictures but didn't get to Lisa Parisi's webcast. 21:30:13 dougsymington : JDub, welcome 21:30:19 mrsdurff : :( 21:30:22 JenW : Hey Doug -- thank you 21:30:31 Cathy E : hey Jen 21:30:43 JenW : Hi Cathy -- How is the new house??? is it old to you yet?? 21:30:46 PeggyG : I tried to listen to the first daily highlight session with Lisa from my hotel room but the audio wasn't behaving and kept spacing out. 21:31:06 mrsdurff : it was the wifi 21:31:21 mrsdurff : very challenging 21:31:24 Cathy E : yep - it is fitting like an old shoe 21:31:41 JenW : did you post pictures, CathyE?? 21:31:56 Cathy E : yep- I have lots of pic 21:32:15 PeggyG : That's what I thought. Will Richardson told us in his panel on web streaming that the most successful streams from NECC were recorded with ethernet cables--not wifi. 21:32:16 JenW : please send me a link -- when you have a chance 21:32:33 JenW : WiFi is never a good option for streaming -- tetheredin works much better 21:32:38 JenW : LOL -- that I have seen 21:32:40 PeggyG : I posted many of my photos on the NECC Ning. 21:33:12 PeggyG : Which link do you want? 21:33:24 JenW : smiles -- I have seen your pictures, PeggyG -- thanks 21:33:31 JenW : Cathy just moved into a new home -- a few months ago 21:33:37 JenW : ON THE OCEAN -- hmmm, bay?? 21:33:40 Cathy E : @Jen here is a mixture of house and stuff http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=cwe+mashoes&s=rec 21:33:43 JenW : and I wish to see those 21:34:04 PeggyG : When I videotaped the WOW2 podcast, I zoomed in on the speaker box when you were speaking. :-) 21:34:22 mrsdurff : some of the recorded ustreams had no sound as of this am 21:34:46 JenW : LOL 21:34:50 JenW : I <heart> peggyg 21:34:50 PeggyG : @mrsdurff-I noticed that too. Think that's a ustream.tv problem??? 21:35:05 mrsdurff : @Peggy yes 21:35:06 JenW : nope -- I think tethered is just more secure -- meaning connection 21:35:14 JenW : not safety 21:35:21 mrsdurff : i attended church wed night via ustream 21:35:21 PeggyG : I really missed you Jen! 21:35:30 mrsdurff : and they had many problems 21:35:56 JenW : Peggy -- I missed you too -- but -- I gotta say, I attended MORE at NECC this year virtually, then I attended last year when I was really there 21:36:00 PeggyG : I love the idea of having everything uploaded for Webcast Academy so we can do it at our own pace :-) 21:36:03 JenW : but I still needed HUGS 21:36:15 JenW : and needed to give HUGS too 21:36:54 PeggyG : I know what you mean! There were tons of hugs all around!! 21:37:37 SROSEMAN : Jen, what were the highlights for you as a virtual participant 21:37:44 JenW : ahhh --- highlights 21:38:10 mrsdurff : the highlights were NOT the wifi and the A?C 21:38:18 mrsdurff : A/C 21:38:55 PeggyG : Kristin Hokanson's copyright presentation was fantastic! She had several handouts in addition to things on her wikispace. Don't think the ustream was too good because there was so much noise in the background, but the session was really valuable. 21:39:08 dougsymington : skype dougsymington to join the convo, anyone who'd like.... 21:39:45 SROSEMAN : I was impressed with Vicki's smackdown!! 21:40:26 Cathy E : Peggy can you give us the link to her wiki? 21:40:31 PeggyG : I use Call Recorder and Conference Recorder on my Mac and it records both sides of the conversation. 21:41:22 SROSEMAN : interesting JenW 21:41:31 SROSEMAN : your perseptions that is 21:42:10 PeggyG : http://theconnectedclassroom.wikispaces.com/ 21:42:21 Cathy E : thanks Peggy 21:43:11 SROSEMAN : all sessions should be videotaped and archived 21:43:18 PeggyG : I had friends who weren't able to get into some sessions unless they went an hour early. But I guess that's inevitable when there are 16,000 people. 21:43:28 mrsdurff : or Jen - more events in SL 21:43:44 SROSEMAN : yes, I attended one in SL 21:43:49 SROSEMAN : very impressive 21:43:56 mrsdurff : the closing keynote 21:45:23 PeggyG : An option that requires less bandwidth than ustream was to videotape the session and upload the video after the event. You can't backchannel chat but at least you can see the session. I found the backchannel sometimes took the session off track. 21:45:41 mrsdurff : i think we need to find a way to ensure that ustream DOES have an impact on conferences 21:47:01 mrsdurff : what jen? 21:47:11 PeggyG : The permissions weren't an issue during NECC as far as I could tell. 21:47:56 PeggyG : Absolutely Jen! 21:48:05 mrsdurff : i am totally against the idea of non-presenters presenting anyway (k12online) 21:48:49 mrsdurff : good point on growth jen 21:50:07 PeggyG : But there are many people who haven't heard those "repeat" sessions--it's brand new to them. 21:50:35 mrsdurff : i followed a lot of new NECC attendees during NECC 21:50:52 mrsdurff : in Twitter 21:51:04 PeggyG : I met a lot of new people at NECC that I met through the Ning conversations. 21:52:02 mrsdurff : and we know 21:52:32 PeggyG : I really liked the constructivist panel with Gary Stager, Sylvia Martinez and others. 21:53:50 chrisssve : I understood the last keynote speaker wasn't well received, but it was still really great to be hearing a bit of NECC in SL. That was what was really nice. 21:54:06 mrsdurff : she wasn't? 21:54:23 mrsdurff : i thought she was an excellent speaker 21:54:27 PeggyG : I also really liked the Research presentations presented by the award-winning projects. 21:55:19 PeggyG : I participated in the Walls Came Down session from the Blogger's Cafe and it was great! 21:55:29 mrsdurff : guaranteed ustreams of all sessions would be worth a fee 21:55:40 SROSEMAN : I would pay a fee 21:55:44 chrisssve : me too 21:55:51 PeggyG : I don't think you can guarantee ustream sessions because of the bandwidth issues. 21:56:11 mrsdurff : McIntosh was hysterical 21:56:16 JenW : they would have to tether in 21:56:39 chrisssve : guess, that might be what I was referring to. 21:57:05 eplybon : @mrsdurff define "non-presenters" 21:57:48 mrsdurff : oh those who submitt proposal but are not chosen to present 21:58:22 mrsdurff : gotta fill the coffee - brb 21:58:52 eplybon : following the Twitter traffic on the closing keynote was interesting 21:59:12 eplybon : some ppl really liked it, others really didn't 21:59:32 mrsdurff : interesting 22:00:26 eplybon : I was on a plane, so I couldn't be there 22:00:40 mrsdurff : and we were using pownce, plurk, ping.fm, & summize too 22:00:59 PeggyG : Summize was a great resource! 22:01:13 mrsdurff : Google Notebook? 22:02:01 PeggyG : That was Richardson's session--backchannel definitely influenced it 22:02:35 chrisssve : I'm looking forward to k12online 2008. Couldn't go to NECC, appreciated catching bits in SL. Hope to catch NECC in DC next year. 22:03:04 mrsdurff : i'm looking forward to Educon2.1 22:03:41 chrisssve : when is that? 22:03:50 PeggyG : I used Pageflakes a lot--thanks to the jumpstart I got from Lisa Durff :-) 22:03:50 mrsdurff : twitter still down - anyone know for how long? 22:04:07 chrisssve : I think it's for at least 2 hours 22:04:15 mrsdurff : Educon is in January 22:04:22 eplybon : about another hour and a half 22:04:22 mrsdurff : it is in Philly 22:04:27 eplybon : says back at 8:30 pst 22:04:35 mrsdurff : pooh 22:04:37 mrsdurff : thanks 22:05:13 mrsdurff : mr. collaboration himself 22:05:19 PeggyG : There were many newbies in Blogger's Cafe this year and it was great having the mentor tshirts to identify helpers.
