2009-05-21 19:55:03 [Message] susanvg -> -EdTechTalk: I think a lot of the stories are done with still images, not video - except the greenscreen
2009-05-21 19:55:17 [Message] glo -> -EdTechTalk: Hey Cheryl!
2009-05-21 19:55:23 [Message] glo -> -EdTechTalk: Hi Jason!!!
2009-05-21 19:56:40 [Message] glo -> -EdTechTalk: Is green screen still a mystery in teachers eyes? I feel like I'm talking to a wall sometimes when I talk about green screen. What is your feel for the teachers?
2009-05-21 19:57:46 [Message] Clykowski -> -EdTechTalk: Most of my teachers know Green screen but don't fully understand
2009-05-21 19:58:11 [Message] LindaN -> -EdTechTalk: None of my teachers know green screen- lots of miles to go.
2009-05-21 19:58:28 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: None of my teachers know green screens

2009-05-21 19:59:44 [Message] LindaN -> -EdTechTalk: If you have writer's workshop going in your classroom then writing is valued and a valued time in the day for kids.
2009-05-21 20:00:16 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: We have writing and we have writing content.  Writing time is the best time of the day.  Writing for content...deadly.
2009-05-21 20:00:36 [Message] Clykowski -> -EdTechTalk: http://jasonohler.com/storytelling
2009-05-21 20:01:07 [Message] LindaN -> -EdTechTalk: Maybe making writing for content more like "writing time" is the answer.
2009-05-21 20:01:22 [Message] Sheila -> -EdTechTalk: green screen = weather maps
2009-05-21 20:01:25 [Message] Lisa Parisi -> -EdTechTalk: We have to learn how to write DBQs.  Yuck
