K-6 Blogging and QuadBlogging on TTT Wed. 12.19.12 at 9PM ET/6PM PT

So you want your K-6 students to blog because you want them to have an audience beyond your classroom. What do you do? Do you set up a blog for each student or for your class, perhaps using http://edublogs.org? Do you join us at http://youthvoices.net or do you join http://kidblog.org ? And there are plenty of other choices.

But here’s the rub: How do you get your students’ posts out there in the world to get responses from K-6 students like them? How can be build a stronger community of elementary school teachers whose students are blogging together?

We would like to invite you to help us consider some of these questions with the amazing educators listed below on this week’s TTT at edtechtalk.com/ttt on Wednesday 9PM ET/6PM PT/World Times: http://goo.gl/w4D83

Come consider QuadBlogging and other complications around having your own class EduBlog or working in a community like Youth Voices or KidBlog, and the problems and delights of having different ages working together, or not?

Gail Desler and Kevin Hodgson started this conversation last month at NCTE and they would like to see if it might not be possible to get something started with NWP elementary school teachers around some sort of community that gets more and more comments flowing.

Here’s Gail’s recent email that led us to schedule a TTT around this topic:

I would love to head into the New Year with some shared discussions on creating an elementary community of digital kids/digital writers that would lead into YouthVoices, but would actually be its own community. As I mentioned to both of you at NCTE, I’m spurred on by Suzie Boss’s (who will be joining us on TTT) recent Edutopia post: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/quad-blogging-technology-classroom-suzie-boss Just seems like a perfect NWP project - that would be pretty easy to initiate and maintain.

Please plan to join us as edtechtalk.com/ttt on Wednesday, 12.19.12 at 9PM ET/6PM PT/World Times: http://goo.gl/w4D83

Look who’s coming!

Chris Sloan, monika hardy, Kevin Hodgson,Gail Desler, Matt Hardy, Suzie Boss, Paul Allison, Tony Iannone, Aman Dhanda, Gail Poulin, and YOU!

We invite you to join a group of youths (and teachers) who want to DO SOMETHING together to make change. Join the conversation at http://edtechtalk.com/ttt at 9PM ET/6PM PT/World Times: http://goo.gl/0KNl2

Last week on TTT, we asked a few youths what changes they wanted to make happen. Kelsey said that she wanted to start an environmental club in her school. This week we’re going to help her!

Join us as we help Kelsey — and youths like her — make connections with people like Leah Qusba from the Alliance for Climate Education: and Kyle Ruddicka a founder from One Day On Earth:

This should help Kelsey — and all of us with something to DO around climate change. Please join us!

Join us for a discussion: Reclaiming the public in public education on TTT Wed. 11.7.12 - 9PM ET/6PM PT

Learn more about the Institute for Democratic Education in America (IDEA)democraticeducation.org on TTT edtechtalk.com/ttt - Wed. 11.7.12 - 9PM ET/6PM PT/World Times: goo.gl/QA0tM
From the IDEA site:

Democratic education is not a type of school or research-based practice. It isn’t one kind of learning program or philosophy. It is a frame. It’s a way of gathering together a vast and powerful set of ideas, philosophies of learning, research, school models, teaching practices, policies, and community visions so that a powerful story can be told that reclaims the “public” in public education — that is, education owned by all of us.

Join our discussion on reclaiming the public in public education. Come on over to TTT edtechtalk.com/ttt - Wed. 11.7.12 - 9PM ET/6PM PT/World Times:goo.gl/QA0tM

Until the nuanced story is clear, truthful and told by and large by those who are experiencing the greatest suffering (ie: young people), the solutions generated will not be the ones our city needs.

Tonight’s TTT Line up - Join us Wed. 9PM ET / 6PM PT edtechtalk.com/ttt

Tonight on Teachers Teaching Teachers Monika Hardy will host this list of inspiring educators: Dave Cormier, Thomas Steele-Maley, Mary Ann Reilly, Alex Pappas, Kirill Kireyev, Kristen Specketer, Heather Goldstein, Cristian Buendia, and Jeff Lebow.
Please consider joining us at edtechtalk.com/ttt

(Sorry about sending two messages on this. I had left that amazing list off educators off of the last one.)
On last week’s TTT episode we were joined by some of the participants from a “3rd Space Conference” ourcolab.org/the-invitational-summer-institutes-teachers-teaching-teachers/  in July and others interested in community collaborations. The conversation centered on combining the insights and work of artists and museum professionals with hands-on art making and collaborative curriculum design.

This Wednesday, we will carry on the idea of a 3rd space, both in regard to physical and mental spaces. We’ll be conversing about the idea of the entire city as the school, as well as a possible means to ground the chaos in the event an entire city was set free to play with this idea. Imagining a focus more on a networked individualism (B Wellman), than a standard prescription. Look at who will be our guests. Please plan to join us at edtechtalk.com/ttt on Wednesday, August 29 at 9:00 PM ET/ 6:00 PM PT / Global Times: goo.gl/j98hl

Learning in 3rd Space on Teachers Teaching Teachers - Wed 8.22.12 - 9PM ET / 6PM PT edtechtalk.com/ttt

Learning in 3rd Space on TTT#311 edtechtalk.com/ttt Wed 8.22 at 9PM ET / 6PM PT / World Times goo.gl/H8bRN 
Our guests will be Christina Cantrill, Fred Mindlin, Ralph Cordova, Bowen Lee, Mike Murawski, Nina Simon … and YOU!

Join some of the participants in 3rd Space Conference and others interested in community collaborations to discuss what went on in St. Louis last month. We’ll also talk about and how we can bring this work into our local communities in the future, wherever we are. The 3rd Space Conference, held July 9-13, 2012, in St. Louis,
ourcolab.org/the-invitational-summer-institutes-teachers-teaching-teachers/ brought together teams from local sites of the National Writing Project and museums around the US to explore creating projects and curriculum that take advantage of collaborations among  students, teachers, and local communities.

Join us on this episode of TTT edtechtalk.com/ttt to learn more about combining the insights and work of artists and museum professionals with hands-on art making and understanding activities for students.  *Third space? Third place?* 

There’s a useful summary of some of these concepts on Wikipedia, and it starts like this:  The third place (also known as Third Space) is a term used in the concept of community building to refer to social surroundings separate from the two usual social environments of home and the workplace. In his influential book The Great Good Place, Ray Oldenburg (1989, 1991) argues that third places are important for civil society, democracy, civic engagement, and establishing feelings of a sense of place. —Wikipedia (accessed 8.21.12)en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Third_place&oldid=500220817

Jump into this conversation with the fascinating educators, artists, museum directors… 3rd Spacers!… on Wednesday, August 22 at edtechtalk.com/ttt Wed 8.22 at 9PM ET / 6PM PT / World Times goo.gl/H8bRN
