Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>where are you? where did that voice come from?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>O
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I'm here!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I went into Wimba to "see" you
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>This is where I've told everybody to go.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I hope everybody go the msg.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I hope no one has gone to GUC!!!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I think it will be ok.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>You gave fair warning yesterday.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I thought about calling GUC, do you think I should?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>That might be a good idea.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>ok.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Are they open today?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Have not heard
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>But they may have tried to call me and not had updated phone numbers
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Do you want me to go over there?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I wish this one went "sploink" like Skype does
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I do miss the swish
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>hum, let me try to call first
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>are you breaking to do that?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>yes. be back soon
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Done. UGA has not cancelled. Can you believe that?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>GA Perimeter did, but no word from UGA
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Wow.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I asked him to put note on door of 1880A and if Mr. Hunnicutt knows about it, it should be fine.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>At least, the bad weather hasn't started yet.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Yes, you definitely have no worries on that account
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Worst that could happen is people just go back home.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Are your kids up yet?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>But I bet you would be hearing from someone by now.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Yes, 630
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>true.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Mom really appreciated being able to sleep in.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>all 3 get up that early on Sat?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Has been a bit of a rocky start for the semester.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>how so?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>this will be archived, remember!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Yes, all three get up early. Saturday makes no difference.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>So, can you turn the archive on and off?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>according to the chat page, it happens automatcially.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Not that I have anything to hide. :)
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I don't know if I can edit it.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Stephanie [Princess now in front of screen]
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Julie always had to hit a button.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Stephanie suggested that I copy/paste into Word just to be sure... if we have any substantive class comments.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>was that in Wimba or chat?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>That is a good suggestion.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I don't see a button.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Way back in the stone ages when I took 6320 we did it in this chat. But it may have changed by now.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Maybe I am misremembering
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>It's pretty primitive looking - doubt it has changed much!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Well, I will tell you about the semester off archive. Not that it is a big deal or anything. Just don't want it shared. Not that anyone cares!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>will be interested to hear.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>swish
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>sploik
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>MISS that.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I could really be addicted to skype chat
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>so it's easier to understand what the kids are up to.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I just can't imagine doing it with my thumbs only.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>lsyes
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>yes
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>So I need to go about poking individuals now for contracts.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Princess is here beside the computer, demanding ear rubbing.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>she says hi.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>intimidating blog cat!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>we're going to have to work on that camera face of hers.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Because she is so sweet/
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I miss her!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>how's your kitty(s)?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>We had a student in Alvermann's class last semester who did a series of YouTubes on "The Scarlet Letter" and he used his bulimic cat in everyone. Not demonstrating the bulimia,
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>but it was so hilarious. The cat was like the statler and waldorf of the thing.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Princess could do that.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Providing running commentary.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>She should have her own page/
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>She could have a twitter account.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>her typing is not very good.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>That would becool.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>she wonders why I'm laughin.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Jo has her cat wearing a hat as her Skype avatar.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>That is a great idea.
*+**** Christa--Harrelson--(christah) entered edit7460maf2_Room1. Saturday, January 19, 2008 9:04am
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I have heard that twitter and such will be important. I just cant figure out why.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Hey Christa!
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>hey! is this where we're supposed to be?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Hi Christa!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Are you at GUC or did you get the message?
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>no, no. i got the message. i just ment here - the chat room.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>And it's kinda optional, for Q&A.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I realize a lot of people had to go to WalMart to buy bread/milk....
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I wish this chat had typing indicator so I could see if MA was responding!
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>right! bread and milk. :-)
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>primitive it is.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I need to do that. Didnt last night, because I figured, "nah. no way."
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I can see the WalMart from here and it would be *frightening* to go there now.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>How many times have I stocked up>
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>of course, it hasn't actually snowed yet...
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>not snowing here
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>just raining here.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>But the forecasts are bad
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>rain here too
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>nothin.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>they seem very sure
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>yes, its a warning instead of a watch.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>which is wierd.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Christa, do you still talk to Nancy Andrews very much?
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>i just talked with her the other night about the barrow job.
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>she seems to be doing well.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>remember that Movie Liscence thing we talked about last semester?
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>yeah.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I think she could use that info, due to a copyright discussion we had.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Could you send it to her?
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>ok, i'll pass that along to her the next time i talk with her.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Thanks.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>So do YOU have any internship qtns?
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>no problem.
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>no questions from me right now.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>contract all squared away?
Christa Harrelson--(christah)>>i have my prelim signed. just need to sit with holly next week to finalize the final.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>:)
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Beth, what did you want to emphasize regarding contracts?

Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Main thing is to get them done soon.

Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>ok. I think I did get that across in the podcast.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>I tried to open the audio in WebCt, but nothing came up. Am I doing something wrong?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Hm.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>hum.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>it worked for me although it was reluctant.

Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Anybody have an questions?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Karen, did the audio work for you?
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>I still can't make anything come up. It just says Jan. 19 at the top, then the browser says "done" at the ottom.
Karen Garner--(kbgarner)>>Is there anything I need special I need to click to play the audio? When I click on it, I don't get anything

Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Hi Maile.
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>Hi!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Hum, audio. I know that it SHOULD work...
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>It worked on my pc too.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Be sure you have the latest quicktime.
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>I was having trouble opening the audio - it just reopens the class webct page. Any suggestions?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>It just probably has to do with your preferred media player.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Wondering if there's a way I can put it up for direct download....
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>can you put it on the blog? I have no idea.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I will explore that. I know that the file itself is ok.
Karen Garner--(kbgarner)>>I will check the Quicktime. Thanks for letting us know last night about class. That was very helpful!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Could probalby put on blog, in BoxNet.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I'm glad you got the word Karen --
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>I tried to open the audio from 9/15 too, and it won't work either.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I hate to go to bed not knowing what I'm doing the next morning.
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>I tried uploading my spreadsheet to google docs - the spreadsheet format uploads but the text won't upload - any suggestions there?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>OK, I will at least try to put it on the Blog, too. Can't do that now, though.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Maile, you mean the text inside the cells?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I have had a lot of issues importing with G-Docs.I
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>yes, the text inside the cells
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>What are your names again so I can share my google docs?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>elizfriese
Karen Garner--(kbgarner)>>Okay, I'm off to check Quickttime. Thanks!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>maryannfitz
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>I was reading some message boards, and that seems to be an issue
*-**** Karen--Garner--(kbgarner) left edit7460maf2_Room1. Saturday, January 19, 2008 9:18am
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I found that out the hard way with word
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Maile, you could 1). ask jennifer Parker how she did it
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>or 2). just upload in WebCT and tell me where you put it.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Did a huge paper and lost a lot of formatting
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>apparently GDocs can only do basic, basic spreadsheet stuff
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>If I put it in Webct, is it a working document, or would I have to reload it each time I update it?
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>Is Jennifer's internship table anywhere online? I looked at the hard copy, and it helped a lot.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>hm.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Jennifer had it in GDocs. I'll bet she would share it with you, and also give you some tips.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Wait wait wait
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I am confusing her applied project with her internship.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>I think i have the format right, but I was thinking about an example for wording things.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Yeah, I dont think the internship was in G-Docs
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>Oh, ok.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>ok. I will bring several examples for passing around on 2/2
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I meant to do that today.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>That would be great.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Shorter is better.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>The podcast talks a lot about that.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>And also, on our final contract, should it be similar to the internship table? I was looking at it again last night, and it has a lot of the same information. Am I right?
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>I saw you said to highlight words from the contract - is there a specific tag list for the log?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Promise to find at least one other way to post the podcast.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>As I was talking I was trying to remember if we have a tag list.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Beth?
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>Oh, thanks for remembering that, Maile! That was a question.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>We can make a tag list.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>There is a tag list linked to the rubric
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I thought so!
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>thanks! I haven't opened that yet!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I hope I didn't delete thelink accidentally.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Will chekc.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I am looking now.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>Is it the one with the suggested amount of hours?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>no, thats a different table.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>These are good ideas for direct links.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>For the index page and for the webct home page.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>Yes, that would be great.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I think the tags are gone.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Will check.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I edited a lot of stuff last week - probably deleted link by accident.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>no worries.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>I emailed Janette about the Marathon day. I am not graduating until August, but I am registered for internship this semester. Do I need to do the marathon now or wait for the summer one.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Do the Marathon in August.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>Great. =) Thank you.
*+**** Mary--Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2) entered edit7460maf2_Room1. Saturday, January 19, 2008 9:28am
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>But we will talk about it a lot this semester. You will hear firsthand stories.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>But I still need to finish my hours this semester since I am registered, right?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>right.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>ok. Got it.
*-**** Mary--Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2) left edit7460maf2_Room1. Saturday, January 19, 2008 9:28am
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>For Marathon, is the presentation done on Powerpoint like Jennifer's?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>you can.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>but it's an option.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Many people present just the product itself.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>So, just look for the audio later?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>whatever you are most comfortable with.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Allison, yes.
Allison Watson--(missalli)>>Ok. Thanks for answering questions! Have a great day!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Try the blog especially.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Bye Allison!

Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>Thanks for updating us yesterday about the class situation - very helpful. I like the blog too!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>good!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>bloggin is fun
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I'm learning a lot
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>too fun.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>It's not as easy as they say...
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>Does Melissa need some children's books for her classroom? I'm cleaning out my kids' bookshelves - too many to handle.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>But it's fun to write little short things that would otherwise never get said.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>She may well.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I can take them, if you like.
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>I used the Word Press last year with my students for a reading blog - it worked fine but was cumbersome keeping up with all their entries.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I'll bet.
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>I'll bring the books next time we have class f2f
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>do you use a Reader, Maile?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I couldn't read blogs without Google Reader.
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>What is that?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Easy to set up -
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>You just look for it in Google
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>and subscribe to the blogs you like.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Then, it sends them to you when updated. No hunting, ever.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>RSS links into the Reader.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>we need to do tech tip and gadget watches in class
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>"thats cool!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Good idea!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>the "hey, thats cool" segment
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>a new tradition.
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>I just found out how to do the G-docs, and I'm excited about that for curriculum planning like making common assessments.

Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I cant imagine!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>love the collaborative abilities of GD.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>but some schools block it.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>gr.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>THAT is a tragedy!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Hi Holly.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Hi ladies!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Hi Holly
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>My LSTC didn't know much about them and he's pretty savy. I haven't tried to see if it's blocked though.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>We are just jabbering away.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Last semester I started a blog rather than a google doc....
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>is that ok?
Maile Steimer--(msteimer)>>That's it for me - thanks for answering my questions.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>yes!

Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Just wanted to check. Thanks!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Holly, send me the URL, and I'll feed it into my Reader.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Cant remember now.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>did the audio work for you?

Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>GOOD. Whew.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>that is a relief
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Should I email the link or include it here?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>While you're here by yourself...
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I had to use Mozilla to listen. IE didn't work.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>if you could email it again to me, that would save me a step.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>It's public...but everything is in "code"

Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Well...is summer ok for the "marathon" presentation?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I was worried that maybe nobody (er, me) told you everything.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>summer is fine.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>I'm taking cataloguing and adol. lit in the summer.

Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I hope to take Adol Lit too.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>also, what are my portfolio requirements? MEd. or EdS or is it different for me?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>M.Ed.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>I'm totally excited about adol. lit.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Hopefully, you've built most of those elements.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>have heard it is great...and that Dr. Marshall is great
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Ok. Probably. I still have all my "old" stuff fortunately!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I'm going to take a coffee break for 3 min -- chat away.

Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>The MEd page of portfolio stuff is going to be updated, right?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>which one?
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>to reflect the big 8 instead of the 6 currently on there?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>yes, we need to do that. writing it on the list.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>it's this link: http://it.coe.uga.edu/%7Emfitzger/7460/portfolio-checklist.html

Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Is the weather doing anything where you are?

Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Wow! Of course!
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Just cold rain right now.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>same here.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>I'm about 15 minutes from GUC. They had predicted snow to start here at 9am, but I haven't seen any yet.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Cant even imagine 1-3 inches
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I'll believe it when I see it
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Me either! But my son, who's 1.5, would love it!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Did you get some the other day? My kids loved it
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I think it was the first real snow my 3 year old had seen
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Yes - but it was pitch black by the time we did and my son was so tired.
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>Perhaps today will be fun!
Holly Frilot--(hmt)>>One more question....

Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>But had them sign the cover of the time table I did.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I saw it as their certification that I was there/
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Dr. Clinton told me that you got your Program of STudy done, and I assume your graduation application.
Dana Turner--(danat1)>>Ok. So I don't need to keep a log and have them sign it everytime I do hours. What about the other site visits? Do I need to get them to sign also?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I dont think thats necessary...MA?
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>We havent required that
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>there are SO many details, aren't there?

Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>snow, I mean!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I had mine sign the table of time spent there,

Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>Sounds good to me
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Diane, as long as it has some connection wit SLM practice.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I would love to hear how collaborative teaching is done, if it is.
Diane Gornell--(slmmaven)>>With mentors filling out an e-evaluation, wouldn't this be just as good as signing the table?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>yes, but --
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>you can't control their doing the mentor eval.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>you can pretty well guarantee that they're going to sign your docs if you have it in your hand.

George Webber--(gwebber)>>In getting my SLM mentor on board, I had made my own little table of contract requirements with blank cells in a column. and we looked at it together and she immediately had many ideas to fill in for things

Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>still rain here in the Tropical part of Georgia.
Michelle Largent--(mlargent)>>and a way to go back "in time" to see the chat in case you click the wrong button and exit -- but who would do a silly thing like that?
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>lol
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>the left column of the table is the tag list?
George Webber--(gwebber)>>ATH = Rain & 40 degrees
Michelle Largent--(mlargent)>>Sorry, Beth B -- I was talking about me :)
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>BethB: yes!
Suzanne Kiefer--(sjkiefer)>>I have a question about the journal doc. How many things will we be turning in? I know we do the googledoc- but what else do we turn in- that has our mentor signature in. I think I am just not remembering something.
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>which we'll get in the upcoming weeks, right?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Suzanne:

Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>The archive will be difficult to follow!
*-**** Holly--Frilot--(hmt) left edit7460maf2_Room1. Saturday, January 19, 2008 10:33am
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>We will review all on 2/2

Suzanne Kiefer--(sjkiefer)>>one more question about the blog- does it say on website somewhere about subscribing?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>yes, that's it. I don't plan to edit it.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Blog: try the RSS feed - but you have to also have a Feed Reader, like Google Reader. Play with that. We will do a tech tip on that on 2/2.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>In the meantime, I'll announce updates over SLM-L.
Suzanne Kiefer--(sjkiefer)>>okay
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>for specific elements, is there a category that storytime would fit in to?
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>I looked but was not sure
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>BethB storytime: no real specific category. It could go with large group lessons, or info literacy component.
*-**** Suzanne--Kiefer--(sjkiefer) left edit7460maf2_Room1. Saturday, January 19, 2008 10:37am
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>good. was worried I was stretching, so glad to confirm
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>absolutely.
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>peer sharing: the first times I'd done storytime, so very nervous
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>but the 1st graders clapped, so I was very relieved :)
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>what story was it
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>Three Samurai Cats
Marty Mcelheney--(martymac)>>Beth: Did you enjoy the little ones?
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>yes, although very nervous that they would expose me as not knowing what I was doing (hee hee)
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>everybody has the imposter syndrome. It's normal.
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>whew!
Marty Mcelheney--(martymac)>>We all feel that way from time to time no matter how big or little they are.
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>doctoral education is great for that.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>faculty meetings at UGA too.
George Webber--(gwebber)>>Guy on Fresh Air, I think, yesterday, talking about just that (our multiple selves)
Diane Gornell--(slmmaven)>>I did a storytime on the fly -- the media specialist left to do an errand, a K class came in with their teacher so I sat down with the kids to talk to them until the MS returned - after a while I figured there was a delay. Some of the kids were talking about loosing teeth -- luckily I was able to grab a book about that very thing so read that book to them.
George Webber--(gwebber)>>Put on a silly hat, and it's easy to change your character... argggh, be a pirate
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>awesome!
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>hmmm hats
George Webber--(gwebber)>>Diane knows tooth books!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>this is the kind of this I miss about meeting f2f
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>I want to hear all the little stories!
Marty Mcelheney--(martymac)>>There seems to be more job openings posted for P - 5 then upper grades
George Webber--(gwebber)>>Arthur looses a tooth is always good
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>where, Marty?
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>Rockdale has a P-5 opening
George Webber--(gwebber)>>there are more elem schools than upper schools
Marty Mcelheney--(martymac)>>Check teach GA several around me - Rockdale
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>Lorraine Elementary, I think

Marty Mcelheney--(martymac)>>that is true george
Marty Mcelheney--(martymac)>>I think Clark Co had a posting and Morgan
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>is anyone else experiencing problems with TeachGeorgia.org since they seemed to have an update?
Marty Mcelheney--(martymac)>>I can't post my resume
Marty Mcelheney--(martymac)>>or fill out thier form for resume info
Diane Gornell--(slmmaven)>>Can we use for internship something we do for Instruc Design class -- for example if we create an computer based turoral of how to use the catalog with our intern site in mind?
Michelle Largent--(mlargent)>>If you live this way -- check out Gwinnett -- www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>thanks, Michelle
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Diane, if it's ok with Dr. Clinton it's ok with me. If relevant, etc.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I'm guessing it will be ok with Greg.
Diane Gornell--(slmmaven)>>can also check out www.dekalb.k12.ga.us all their aps are online. Also check out the county job fairs - went to one in gwinnett, although everyone I spoke to said they don't have a job opening currently - still good for networking and getting resume out
George Webber--(gwebber)>>I think Dr. C would encourage it, especially since we'll implement! I'll ask him
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>George, I agree.

Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>re: jobs, maybe all could bring a little something on 2/2 to share?
Beth Bartlett--(bbartlet)>>since it is our topic then?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>some professors don't approve of "double-dipping" but I think it's good integrative learning.
Beth Clark--(beth2267)>>Hi! It has just started to sleet here.
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>BethB: good idea!
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>Hi BethC!
Beth Friese--(wt7939)>>snowing pretty good now in Lawrenceville

Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>I apologize globally for my bad typing when I hurry...
George Webber--(gwebber)>>still drizzle in ATH
Beth Clark--(beth2267)>>Mary Ann, I am starting to worry about the school level Media Meeting. My LMS cannot get her principle to give her her committee members, so there has been no meeting. I tried my son's elementary school and she hasn't done ameeting yet, but will invite me when she does. Is that OK?
Mary Fitzgerald--(edit7460maf2)>>BethC: yes.
