21:19:04 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: in the attic?
21:19:10 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: What do "cheat codes" tell us about learning and games?

21:33:10 cfoote -> -EdTechTalk: phew, took me awhile to get in here.
21:33:13 cfoote -> -EdTechTalk: not working on IE
21:33:24 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: I think I am going to have the Student Tech team listen to this and decide what games they want to add…
21:33:26 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: FF?
21:33:37 cfoote -> -EdTechTalk: @durff yep, using ff now
21:33:40 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: So many great links! Thanks
21:33:42 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: Played "Life" with student today
21:33:44 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: Here’s a link to several PowerPoint game templates
21:33:46 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.murray.k12.ga.us/teacher/kara%20leonard/Mini%20T%27s/March%20Mini%20T-Games/Games.htm great site for game templates
21:34:02 Kern -> -EdTechTalk: I’ve played it for a while – never finished it 🙁
21:34:25 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: Wicked could you put that link out again?
21:34:43 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: It’s the one Cheryl put up
21:34:50 ColleenK -> -EdTechTalk: @Kern I can’t get through it but I’m video game challenged, I think.
21:34:51 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: okay
21:34:58 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: Jeff, you and I are on the same wave length!
21:34:59 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: game development software – costs $ – http://www.immersiveeducation.com
21:35:06 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: I know… wierd
21:35:07 Kern -> -EdTechTalk: 😀
21:35:30 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: http://msit.bloomu.edu/hmgee/GamerRater/GamerRater.html
21:35:48 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: I was trying to get a tinyurl up for it but I didn’t get to it fast enough
21:35:53 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Carolyn, did n’t see you pop in.
21:36:05 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Gazillionaire is a great trading game – http://www.lavamind.com/gaz.html
21:36:32 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: How about Second Life?
21:36:40 cfoote -> -EdTechTalk: What is the book that he is discussing? i was late
21:36:59 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: Been wanting to try, but no time to learn and kind of intimidated
21:37:03 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: It is Karl’s book that he wrote.
21:37:20 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.gadgetsgamesandgizmos.com/
21:37:23 cfoote -> -EdTechTalk: thanks Vicki.
21:37:23 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: Karl Kapp
21:37:25 jgates513 -> -EdTechTalk: isn’t it something how much time and energy and money is spent filtering out games – because the teachers get tired of chasing kids off the game sites? so, the category is blocked – also blocking the good games
21:37:51 cfoote -> -EdTechTalk: there’s some good posts on that topic Vicki on the Education Business Blog by Lee Wilson
21:37:56 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: http://karlkapp.com/index.htm
21:38:01 sendkathy -> -EdTechTalk: I think he is so right, when games become component-based that can easily be manipulated by average users then they will become better teaching tools
21:38:03 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: @hshawjr SL not appropriate to use with student – TeenSL is only for teens
21:38:20 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: will you be posting all of these links from the chat on the delicious bookmarks for today? For some reason my browser stopped linking from chat window
21:38:36 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: yes, Peggy – will work on that
21:38:42 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: MMORPG on Google Earth http://www.gearthhacks.com/gemmo/
21:38:45 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: @ColetteC – thanks still learning what is 😀
21:38:55 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: we were just saying tonight…. time to move to diigo?
21:39:08 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: Peggy, not just you, but I can’t link in chat room. We will try and collect all these. But the chat and podcast will be published by Thurs.
21:39:29 ColleenK -> -EdTechTalk: @hshawjr I don’t think of Second Life as a game – more like a 3D environment to explore and meet others.
21:39:31 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: You can still stay on delicious and go to Diigo–save bookmarks in both places with one click
21:39:37 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp you can post to diigo and it will also post on delicious if you set it up
21:39:39 Kern -> -EdTechTalk: Instead of SL for students I’m pulling for http://edugrids.org
21:39:59 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: @colleenK – only been there once and really didn’t know what was going on;.
21:40:22 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: That is so sad about the wasted money on textbooks!
21:40:31 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: our state is talking about requiring textbook companies to have an electronic format.
21:40:34 kkapp -> -EdTechTalk: yes it is sad
21:40:40 ColleenK -> -EdTechTalk: @Kern I’m watching that one, too.
21:40:47 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: How do educators get on the Teen Grid in SL?
21:40:54 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: text books are REALLY expensive
21:41:09 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: @peggyg you have to apply
21:41:14 Kern -> -EdTechTalk: @peggyg you are stuck on an island
21:41:20 ColleenK -> -EdTechTalk: @PeggyG It’s a process. Need to apply and get a background check.
21:41:20 jgates513 -> -EdTechTalk: maybe buy books by the chapters that you want
21:41:22 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: Games here – http://nobelprize.org/
21:41:25 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: talking History co-teacher to use web vs buying new text
21:41:30 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: I want to be able to customize my own book.
21:41:32 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Textbook monopoly is political and $
21:41:34 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: middle school, nobel prize website, nobelprize.org understanding plastic, alloys
21:41:41 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: Anyone heard of the "customizable" text book where the teacher picks the content from the list of options
21:41:48 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: times attack, elementary multiplication for kids
21:41:48 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: You should see the article I wrote for their newsletter today.
21:41:53 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: I’ll share it soon.
21:41:57 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @ColleenK-thanks–I was wondering if there was a background check on the adults 🙂 That’s reassuring.
21:41:59 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: Kind of "buffet style" learning/teaching
21:42:06 kkapp -> -EdTechTalk: http://3dlanguage.net/cms/
21:42:13 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: @Wicked – No haven’t heard that one, would like to know more
21:42:28 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: high school spanish gadgetsgamesandgizmos.com 3Dlanguage, speak spanish into the game and evaluates your conversation
21:42:42 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: My grandson loved TimezAttack to learn his multiplication facts.
21:42:56 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: thanks peggy for the spelling
21:43:29 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: He never seemed to tire of it and kept playing over and over–much more than he would have with a worksheet 🙂
21:44:19 ColleenK -> -EdTechTalk: Dimenxian
21:44:52 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: http://edugrids.org Kern Kelley mentioned this site.
21:45:18 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: SL not appropriate for under age 18
21:45:20 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: edugrids is run on opensim?
21:45:22 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: How do you balance the amount of time spent on games with everything else in the classroom?
21:45:26 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: Anybody heard of ARGs? "Alternate Reality Games?"
21:45:41 Kern -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp yes, I’m hoping to use it for a history class next year
21:45:45 ColleenK -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp Yes about edugrids
21:46:16 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: hi juwolf43, welcome
21:46:17 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: very cool, are you running opensim on your own server or do the edugrids people have a dedicated server?
21:46:56 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: Games in education needs to be short enough to be used in a classroom and still extended later is desired
21:46:59 ColleenK -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp I believe it’s still in development
21:47:13 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: @Wicked coming to you.
21:47:50 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: @mrmoses – Welcome Glen!
21:48:01 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Are Alternate Reality Games designed for schools?
21:48:42 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: I don’t think there are many ARGs designed for schools but I know of one
21:48:45 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I’ve never heard of ARG
21:48:46 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: the hardest thing is to teach the adults to stop banning the technology
21:48:49 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: I bought a gps unit just to get into geocaching
21:49:08 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: as soon as it is banned it becomes a problem
21:49:11 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: there are geocaches everywhere
21:49:14 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: geocaching is so fun!
21:49:20 mrmosesdotorg -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp – hi 🙂 happpy to be here
21:49:26 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: when it is not an issue it is not a problem
21:49:34 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: if you don’t understand it, scared by it avoid it as my 65+ fathers says
21:49:42 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: i don’t get it
21:49:44 mrmosesdotorg -> -EdTechTalk: I just went to as session on ARGs
21:49:44 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @sharonp how do you use a gps with geocaches? Have you blogged about it?
21:49:56 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: durff, our filters at school work really well with proxies that the kids find:-)
21:50:01 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: my parents geocache at 82 and 72!
21:50:02 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: http://www.geocaching.com/
21:50:11 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: sweet, sheila
21:50:18 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: ther is quite a geocaching community
21:50:19 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: hi congerjan, hello
21:50:21 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: or the kids set up proxies
21:50:28 mrmosesdotorg -> -EdTechTalk: it was as simple as making certian letters on a webpage students went to bold and leading students that see the clues somewhere
21:50:33 mrmosesdotorg -> -EdTechTalk: it was pretty cool
21:50:37 hshawjr -> -EdTechTalk: @sheila – cool my father puts his finger up to the wind and say go this way 😉
21:50:51 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: geocachers- have you used travel bugs in the classroom? It’s great!
21:50:59 WickedDecentLearning -> -EdTechTalk: Here’s a simple ARG designed by a teacher for his students http://www2.svsd.net/~lions/hexagon/
21:51:08 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: @ColetteC Thanks-I need to learn about that. Just got a new GPS and had no idea you could use it with online projects
21:51:25 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: Geocaching and google earth!
21:51:26 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: thanks for t hese great links, Jeff.
21:51:30 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: I use it
21:51:44 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: Shelia, what age group!
21:51:50 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: middle school
21:51:58 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: that is because there is no separation btwn online and offline
21:52:01 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: I haven’t used travel bugs yet – but will start soon
21:52:07 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: I have a teacher starting with her middle schoolers.
21:52:09 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: only with adults
21:52:17 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: I think there is a lot of potential there for geocaching in education
21:52:57 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: Yes!
21:52:59 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: We have a travel bug that started in Antarctica and is now in the UK. People have been good about sending photos and descriptions of the areas.
21:53:12 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: That would be a fascinating show-who would you invite as your guest? geocaching
21:53:23 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: that sounds like fun. Shelia, do you have a webpage?
21:53:28 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I haven’t really seen the educational potential of geocaching
21:53:30 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: I don’t know @PeggyG — lets find some teachers who are geocaching and bring them on.
21:53:36 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: Anyone here geocaching?
21:53:50 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: and want to be on a show?
21:53:51 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Yes, teachers would be the best!
21:53:57 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: no – have a how to on it?
21:54:04 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: @cheryloakes – just minimal; but have some for teacher workshops.
21:54:20 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: I taught a student w/ Asburgers
21:54:28 Vicki Davis -> -EdTechTalk: I think I mispelled it.
21:54:32 sheila -> -EdTechTalk: I’d be happy to share what I do.
21:54:41 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: am related to some young people with Aspergers
21:54:41 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: Aspergers
21:54:44 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: aspergers
21:54:59 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: geocaching must be one of those things you have to expereince
21:55:48 kkapp -> -EdTechTalk: Asperger’s syndrome
21:56:00 congerjan -> -EdTechTalk: I was an aide to a student with Aspergers… was a computer whiz…
21:56:02 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: w/ Aspergers…what a great idea!
21:56:08 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: try and convince parents of that
21:56:31 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: wow
21:56:42 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: @vicki I have a name for you for geocaching:
21:56:42 Durff -> -EdTechTalk: morning meeting was controversial when i did it
21:56:43 kkapp -> -EdTechTalk: true, parents can be an obstacle
21:56:48 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Just saw a feature story on a young woman with autism who told how she was able to function on Second Life–it was amazing!
21:56:48 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: Eva LaMar
21:56:53 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: I have a friend whose son has Aspergers
21:57:11 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: Peggy, that is a great story.
21:57:16 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: I think I saw the show on 60 minutes–not sure
21:57:33 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: neat
21:57:34 ColetteC -> -EdTechTalk: Geocaching resources from Eva LaMar http://www.evalamar.com/GPS/index.htm
21:57:45 congerjan -> -EdTechTalk: Wow… Asperger parents may be more receptive than you think because they would be able to see te "practice" aspect… and it is safer to try it on Second Life
21:57:56 cheryloakes wow2 -> -EdTechTalk: don’t miss the chat and podcast on Thurs. at edtechtalk.com/womenofweb2
21:58:07 allears -> -EdTechTalk: Project Spectrum on Google talks about using sketch up with kids with autism
21:58:17 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: WE shared a LOT of links tonight – definitely worth revisiting
21:58:33 James.Sigler -> -EdTechTalk: We need an educational SL – Education Life?
21:58:35 alicebarr -> -EdTechTalk: Can’t wait to share this with students Thanks all of you!
21:59:00 ffoxworth -> -EdTechTalk: I was a late arriver. Is there a way to save or collect the links?
21:59:01 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: What? a WOW2 chat on Thursday???

22:00:39 PeggyG -> -EdTechTalk: Karl is an amazing expert on educational games–I have a lot to learn and will definitely buy his book!
22:00:41 sharonp -> -EdTechTalk: Wish our schools recognized the skills students are gaining from gaming more than what they do
22:00:42 mrmosesdotorg -> -EdTechTalk: I’d love to, but can’t get the volcano part on the Island to play nice . Really, I’ve tried. A lot.
22:00:45 JasonR -> -EdTechTalk: no worries
22:00:49 JasonR -> -EdTechTalk: sorry i missed most
