That is, PD of the sit and git nature needs to move towards these types of PD where contribution is required. The expectation is that everyone brings something to the table. We're all learners and teachers. Some may have more to offer but it's never one way. These tools clearly represent this type of learning. People like yourself need to advocate for it. Grant it, it will take much to see changes but as adult learners, we can't be modeling ineffective practices we know shouldn't be in our classrooms....sorry if this is a bit incoherent...writing this during my daughter's loud birthday party. http://twitter.com/shareski/statuses/315423532 Karen,

Due to twitter, for examples, allows us to instantly create online opportunities. I was at a focus group of educators about PD yesterday and the issue of how to quantify this type of innovative PD came up. In our state (MA), teachers are required to obtain a certain number of professional development points to stay certified. How do we quantify the PD that results from creating personal learning communities and personal PD? Do we need to have the capability to quantify it? For me, this is engaging and energizing - participating in the opportunities, backchanneling, reading the blogs that arise as a result, connecting it to education and reflecting on the possibilities and pedagogy. Any thoughts? Dean,

Thanks Angus,

I think your link should be http://www.blogtv.com/

The firefox extensions and zamzar work for video in .flv formats…not sure if ustream uses a proprietory format or if it’s just streaming video….difficult to download without software.

I've never used it but I can imagine the many possibilities. I like the idea of the various "channels" on blogtv, although they are not really named for educational purposes. If you are using firefox as a browser, can you use one of the video downloading extensions to download the video? This looks a lot like bogtv.ca where people create their own “shows”.

It took my a while once I realized that the screen capture tools I have, Jing and Camtasia don't capture audio. Probably took me about an hour...but I'll be faster next time, especailly if someone leaves a comment about an easier tool! Steve,
