Deo and Ambrosia have some hilarious banter before going into a story about how "The Colbert Report" makes fun of so many of today's Republican Party leaders. They talk about how the Federal Reserve Board clearly defines why the US economy has slowed to a crawl. Gay marriage is becoming popular in many states except here in Michigan and soon we shall be left behind. The Bush administration is trying to keep the immunity for Blackwater employees for Iraq dispite the fact the Iraqi's don't want them around. Deo brings up a fact that if we drill for oil in the US, that we will not get to keep the oil.

Wow! Not much to say here expect Wow! I need to check this out in the person with the boy. Extinct, my ASS! from The Original Joe Fisher on Vimeo.

Cleaning out my digital devices, I ran across this impromptu chat with Malinda McCormick (KLRN DIrector, San Antonio, Tx) and Dr. Phil Youngblood (Incarnate Word University, San Antonio, Tx). This took place after my presentation in Second Life about the TILT 2008 presentation which took place last week. More info here. Thanks to Malinda McCormick and Kevin Jarrett, as well as Dr. Phil Youngblood, for their support in helping me be successful. I apologize for taking so long to post this podcast that features Dr. Youngblood's expertise in Second Life. Note that the END of the podcast really isn't. It's hard to stop a conversation that's going full steam ahead, and Dr. Phil Youngblood started sharing some of the things he was doing for his class in Second Life. Of course, I still had the recorder, so I recorded that as well. I'm going to have to follow up for a longer chat! What questions do you have for him that you'd like me to ask regarding teaching a college level class in Second Life? Listen to Conversation

Inspired by Wes Fryer's experiment with Jumpcut, I took the time to export my Changing Standards presentation that I shared last week with staff (newbies to Read/Write Web tools) to images uploaded to Flickr (using Flickr Uploadr), then import them into JumpCut. You never saw so much frantic writing...all of the ideas and content were brand new to them. After that, as my son played his game in the background--sound muted--I quickly recorded audio to go with the presentation. Now, this is late at night after a long day's work, after a wonderful dinner, and before going out to the library. Ok, enough disclaimers (well, except for my apologies for picking on Doug Blue Skunk Johnson in the middle of the audio evil smile ). The audio is what it is grin and my apologies if I didn't get it just right. Aside: As I listen (38 minutes!) to this presentation during synching, I realize this presentation is flawed. That's probably because i did throw it together, adapting it from a previous presentation on TEA's Technology Immersion grant project. It's not really about changing standards but the six components of Tech Immersion. Nevertheless, it was worth the time to play and experiment. I offer it here as a flawed work (of course, aren't they all?). My goal was to record audio and match that to the slides. I was destined to be disappointed since that level of fine-grained control isn't evident in Jumpcut. However, it was fun to experiment with a new technology. It was at that point I remembered a comment Steve Dembo (Teach42.com) had left, referring me to MyPlick.com. I went over, and uploaded my presentation (PPT or PDF) and my audio (MP3), created my free account, and started syncing it all. Here's what that looks like: Image Caption: Picture at the beginning of the audio syncing process Image Caption: Syncing audio and slides, 3 slides in. Listen to your audio as you click the UP arrow button to move slides up. Wow, what an easy tool. I may abandon slideshare.net for posting if it's this easy to add the audio. The only issue is sitting through the painful audio recording (unedited, BTW) after recording it. Wait, one more problem. While working in MyPlick.com at the end, the buttons started to stick or not click when I clicked on them. not sure what caused that. I finally had to close the window once I managed to SAVE and PUBLISH. Here's what it looks and sounds like...be gentle in the comments smile : Changing National Standards Tags: mguhlin

Want to understand what the current mortgage and banking mess is all about? This show, which I produce and co-host, helps to explain what is going on and why. -- Douglas This week brought the collapse of Indymac Bank. Their collapse wreaked havoc in the financial markets, but it can have a greater effect on individual depositor's stress levels. This could be witnessed in the unnecessary bank run on Indymac this week. Many people do not realize they should not keep more than $100,000 in any bank. Insurance only covers up to $100,000 in deposits, any amount over that is negotiable to as low as 50 cents on the dollar. But for those who have a smaller amount on deposit, don't worry, you will get every penny back. We also discuss Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's current troubles and why they are so important to the housing market. Listen to "Indymac, Fannie, Freddie and You?" If you have any questions you would like us to answer on our show, please call our listener line at 714-519-7833 or email mortgagepodcast@gmail.com.

One way of rebuilding trust is to use blogs to reopen, reconnect and be transparent again. Community building is built through commenting feature. Parents can start dialoguing with you. They don't have to leave their job to come to the school building, they can come and communicate meaningfully without leaving their house. Source: Dr. Scott McLeod on Blogging for Administrators workshop in 2007 So shares Dr. Scott McLeod (Dangerously Irrelevant) in a presentation on blogging for administrators he gave in San Antonio, Tx at a large urban school district last year...digging through my catch-all folder, I stumbled across this gem of a recording and had to share it! Although we're off to a slow start due to some technical obstacles, Scott takes off once those are overcome and shares some great info and advice for administrators. School web sites are pathetic, he shares. I couldn't agree more. This is why content management systems are so critical, and blogs are a part of that.

Successful Bond Campaigns- Making the Case for Technology was the title of a Texas CTO Clinic presentation facilitated by Vicki Smith Bigham (Email: bighamv@aol.com). You can read my notes for this presentation here, but you'll want to listen to the podcast to catch some of the points that were made too quickly for me to catch! Also, my apologies to Vicki, but I cut her introduction out due to the poor quality of the audio and started with Gray Salada's introduction. Panel members included the following: Gray Salada (Austin ISD) Karen Fuller (Klein ISD) Lenny Schad (Katy ISD) Listen to Podcast Some of the important take-aways: What is the baseline for technology that needs to be a component of the bond issue? That needs to be our replacements cycle. PC, laptop, server replacements and network retrofits. These are standard brick-n-mortar and our community expects it. Public understands the retrofit, but we have to put C&I in front of that. It gets the public to see this as a C&I requirement/initiative rather than technology focused. The most unique part about the bond that passed is a 1to1 initiative with bond funds. Engage key members of the community, the commerce group, form a citizens’ bond committee, get campus people who are very involved. They work with the school board and superintendent and get that committee to address this. With this guidance—including facilities folks and do that then have them recommend what the bond should be about. The School Board will hold hearings and then this goes back to Committee, gets adjusted, then discussed again. Additionally, it doesn’t hurt if there is some specific special interest that is a big community item. Put a committee together, different depts presented their needs, did assessments of existing facilities, evaluating the buildings, formed a committee of community members, students, every aspect of community we could involve in various meetings. We presented where we needed the money. Our superintendent did not have a free day during the whole bond campaign, including attending bunko games, etc. He was so instrumental in getting the word out, the right type of information, addressing the misnomers…he wanted to get the right, correct information. One of the things we’re doing is keeping the info flowing…communication and community involvement are the key factors to help people answer the questions. If you can just get your own staff member to vote—campuses and teachers—then your bond election would pass. Once the bond election passes…here’s what we were going to spend money on, the timeline, and evaluation of how money was spent. People need to see how bond dollars have been spent. By 2011, we’re doing online testing. If you’re going to test online, then you better be teaching online. This is why we’re going this route in our schools. Make videos of technology integration (1to1) with teachers, parents, students talking, and technology baseline standards (document camera, whiteboard, etc). We did the best we could to get the information out to our parents. We were able to show what students need and how it’s impacting what students are doing. We have a fundamental blueprint for what the classroom configuration will be. They talk about technology in bond elections. We have an educational specification…this is how many drops we have in each classroom, how many computers/printers in each classroom. We have this specification for each grade level and size of school. You can build in time to implement. It’s all centered around implementation. Once you go live, then you can’t use bond funding. As an implementation cost, and for a doc mgmt system, I’d do all this work to get it ready for production. You run into a grey area with training. They don’t like to use bond funds for training. You have to have an awareness in your community in what they value in the education of their kids. When they don’t understand beyond new construction, technology becomes one of those sacrificial lambs. Anything beyond construction then doesn’t get paid for. Need to educate folks on what they can and can’t say. During school hours, you can say fact/fiction. When you’re on your own time, you can say whatever you want.

Joyce Valenza (Web Site | Blog) is wonderfully articulate, especially on a spur of the moment, poorly edited (that's my fault), podcast. I LOVE what she has to say initially about transparency and how her words will reflect who she is. She also touches on important topics like branding teacher-librarians (or something like that). Be sure to listen to Joyce, a professional who can have fun smile and isn't a party-pooper. You can catch how she recorded my fun (I hope) talk on her Cowboy Boot Documentary. She used her new FLIP Mino to record the documentary and then did LOTS of editing smile .

Deo, Ambrosia talk to a Wiccan that is running for Congress here in Michigan. This is 1 of 2 parts.

Dr. Maria Kaylor (University of Texas at San Antonio), Dr. Cheri Toledo (Illinois State University), Nicolas Toledo and I had a chance to discuss blogging in higher education at NECC 2008. It was very much an impromptu conversation as Dr. Kaylor and I ran into each other cruising the poster sessions, and she shared her first venture into blogging with students in a course scheduled for Fall, 2008. I am particularly proud of Dr. Kaylor since I'd like to think that I introduced her to blogging! I thought Dr. Kaylor's comments provided insights into how higher education professionals who haven't used blogs are conceptualizing their use in their work. What was really neat was having Dr. Cheri Toledo just walk up and say hello, creating the opportunity for a conversation among higher ed professionals about blogging. This conversation was fascinating, so I encourage you to listen to these three wonderful folks share their perspectives on blogging in higher ed!
