Chat Transcript:

Ron Scott [FMCSD]:What types of sessions are you looking for? Cross-curricular
or Adobe specific?
Edna Dach:No problem
Sue Bell:Eric, it would be great if you would do one on Premiere!
Éric Caron:Sure Sue, I just opened the form
Éric Caron:Maybe on After Effects Basics too
Sue Bell:Awesome! you have such talent it would be great if you could share
it.
Sue Bell:Hi Edna!
Sue Bell:You're on!
Edna Dach:Hi everyone.
Sue Bell:Did we lose Edna?
Colin Byers:Hi Everyone, our internet is a bit hit and miss today... so
hopefullty this works
Sue Bell:Hi Colin. Welcome.
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Hi Colin! Just starting with Edna's 5 mins and moving
on to Pat's Flipped Classroom session after that.
Edna Dach:Thanks Pat
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Not sure what's up, Edna! Let's get Pat going to keep
the flow and we'll come back to you....
Éric Caron:Ys
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Yes -
Éric Caron:Yes
Sue Bell:yes
tim:Yep
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:There ya go!
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):yes
Sue Bell:Now we can see it
Éric Caron:Yes
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Full screen
tim:Yep
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Hit your PPT app
Edna Dach:OK Pete, when I got kicked out that was interesting
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Howdy, Kirk!
kirk:hi
Éric Caron:Hi Kirk
Sue Bell:Hi Kirk!
Éric Caron:When they are on vacation during school time...
Colin Byers:Agree, that's how I do it with my media arts classes
Sue Bell:To me it sounds more like a blended environment than a flip.
Ron Scott [FMCSD]:This is a different version than I have heard in the past,
makes much more sense.
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Might work well when students' families take holiday
time outside of regular holiday schedules...
Edna Dach:good points Pat
Éric Caron:All I can say is that it's working for teachers I know who tried to
flip their classroom
Sue Bell:I agree that having students create the videos is a great idea.
Sue Bell:nope
kirk:nope
tim:nope
Tannis:no
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):not yet... will now.
Éric Caron:I know it but never tried
tim:That would be great!
Sue Bell:That would be a good thing to have.
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):That is a great idea for May.
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Absolutely! OR - do a Carousel!
Sue Bell:Thanks
kirk:adobe captivate
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:We'll look for your submission, Pat... :>
Colin Byers:Not me, I'm in a mac environment... so I use keynote or camtasia,
mostly because of the functionality it provides in regard to annotations and
highlighting cursors and displaying keyboard shortcuts
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Really? PPT crashed on you? Strange...
Sue Bell:It is a bit pricey, but it is really powerful too.
Sue Bell:@Pete :-D
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Might work well in Ft. McM in 2015
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]::>
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):Do you know something I don't, Pete?
Edna Dach:brown bag lunch opportunities
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:There may be some ideas to tie Adobe and Google Apps
for Ed too...
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:@Tamarra - CTS Conference for 2015 is in Ft. McM.
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Good one, @Edna!
Sue Bell:It would be great to have us more directly involved in providing PD
to others in teh province.
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):Yay
Sue Bell:Is the presentation with the live links going to be uploaded into the
Concourse so we can access them?
Sue Bell:yes
Sue Bell:and any presentations we create
Éric Caron:I have to go pick up my son at his bus stop. Will be back!
Sue Bell:That would be great. It has a lot of links so it would be nice to be
able to check them out.
Sue Bell:That is great Pete. Having no folder structure was getting a bit
challenging.
Sue Bell:Good idea.
Sue Bell:THanks Pat.
Edna Dach:no sorry not me
kirk:not me.
Colin Byers:Yes
Sue Bell:afraid not. too much else going on.
Edna Dach:Thanks Pat enjoyed the presentation

Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Can you guys mute your mics, please? Thx!
Sue Bell:Can you speak a bit about how you see the AAMT group supporting the
implementation of the LTPF?
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:I see the group working well with the PL column, as
well as the Leadership one - leading to an effect on Student-Centered
Learning... ??
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:There are ties to the AAMT Goals Document as well...
Pete MacKay
[2Learn.ca]:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BHPzfzzv2C6OgQcHQu4xFHNf-sQ15QF7hxPVV5mx7O8/edit?usp=sharing
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:Have to take a call...
Sue Bell:Tannis and I have been talking about how we can more effectively work
to support all teachers in the province with using the Adobe tools to support
learning in their classrooms,
Sue Bell:If we were able to start putting together some specific examples of
how these tools support different content areas and learining objectives for
various grades.
Sue Bell:If we created these exemplars and shared them in a way that they
could be more broadly accessible, that might be more impactful than us each
just doing our own things.
Sue Bell:Absolutely!
Sue Bell:and unless we can find ways to help people see it as less scary and
more exciting/usable, we are not going to get thhe uptake levels we need to
get a renewal of the contract at the end ofnnext year.
Colin Byers:I think that's a great idea Sue, but the issue I think is finding
the time to do it. For those of us with full teaching assignments it's not
always easy to create additional content without be afforded the PD/release
time to do so.
Sue Bell:Oh I agree, when we don't have time in our assigned day, it is really
difficult to do this.
Sue Bell:However, we could use some of our Tuesday sessions and our Adobe Cafe
idea in addition to the carousels to start making this happen.
Pete MacKay [2Learn.ca]:The meeting schedule is filling up very quickly too! I
wonder if we need to just slot in some other times to address these needs.
Pat:Absolutely Sue
Sue Bell:I think Tannis and I would like to propose at least two sessions in
May to do just that.
Sue Bell:Would that appeal to others?
Colin Byers:Yup
Pat:An item that you could be at our May dates Edna? A conversation to
continue this?
Edna Dach:I will try to be there for some time on the dates
Pat:Pete do you have a link to the smaller version as a discussion piece?
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):If we are considering continuing our committment for
next year, do we need to consider adding an extra face-to-face session, and may
be consider making one session for collaborative planning to create lessons
that might work in different areas?
Edna Dach:sure we will work on that
Colin Byers:I like Tamarra's idea!
Ron Scott [FMCSD]:Good point Tamarra
Sue Bell:I like the sounds of that Tamarra, assuming we agree that we are all
going forward next eyar.
Sue Bell:I mean year. :)
Colin Byers:I have to run Pete, see you at the CTS conference.
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):But I think the collaboration needs to be more in
person. I think sometimes collaboration to create lessons is tough on-line.
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):Yep
Tannis:I agree with the time to create when we are all together
Sue Bell:I agree. Face to Face is better, but could we use google hangouts or
something like that to do some virtual face to face in small groups?
Tannis:Create artifacts for use in supporting educators in the use of Adobe in
their contexts
Sue Bell:Right on Tannis!
Sue Bell:The cost of face to face is just so high that we should take as much
advantage of the time we do have face-to-face to do some of that collaborative
owrk.
Sue Bell:We really haven't done much of that so far.
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):Is it worth deciding what Adobe program would be easiest
to start implementing in classes, and maybe try to start something... ex: if we
decide that it is Photoshop, arrange to have a couple people to bring camera to
start getting photos or such.
Tannis:I agree, Sue
Éric Caron:I agree too
Edna Dach:The quick LTPF guide is here:
Edna Dach:http://education.alberta.ca/media/7792669/ltpf-quick-guide-web.pdf
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):AVY is great for media arts, but I started working with
a grade 9 class and we are finding it more difficult.
Sue Bell:@Tamarra, it would be great to have a few people working on each of a
number of applications and to start creating examples.
Éric Caron:I will probably propose a workshop about how to start a school
WebTV broadcast using Adobe tools, something that involve all students,
extra-curricular and in-class
Sue Bell:It probably makes sense to have some sort of interest indicator so
that no one is putting time into developing a session that no one attends
either.
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):No hurt feeling, put them put there. It would be nice to
try to work around those that get selected and try to ensure they can still go
to a session that will help them out too.
Edna Dach:I agree with Sue
tim:Agree with Edna and Sue!
Tannis:Sounds good
Sue Bell:Agreed. Go for it.
Sue Bell:Thanks for leading us again Pete!
Sue Bell:EXCELLENT!!
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):Excellent. Thank you to today's presenters.
tim:Nice work Pete!
Edna Dach:thanks Pete, nice to know that we can use this room
tim:That will be good.
Tannis:thank you
Sue Bell:Can I book the room for the 22 and 24th of April? I have a meeting I
woudl like to use COnnect for
kirk:thanks, pete.
Éric Caron:Thanks Pat and Pete
Pat:Your welcome!
Edna Dach:good, thanks all nice chatting wth you all
Sue Bell:Perfect. Thanks Pete. Will do.
Tamarra Price (FMCSD):Have a good evening everyone.
