    Hey guys, thanks for the “blog love.” (did you guys coin that phrase? ;-))
    I haven’t listened to the podcast yet, it’s in my iPod for the trip to work tomorrow, but I just wanted to weigh in that I think there definitely is a pedagogy behind the effective use of IWBs in the classroom. An IWB should be just one piece of a larger whole, IMHO.

    I’m looking forward to the new features in the new version Notebook. Can’t wait to see how my students work it into their scribe posts. ;-)

    Cheers!

    I love the podcasts and your focus on good, inquiry-based teaching practices.

    My job as an eMINTS instructional specialist requires a lot of driving and your podcasts make the drives go much quicker.

    One complaint: Ben, please stop cutting off Joan. You must have interrupted her five or six times during the 100th podcast.

    Windows XP has another way to get help from friends across the Internet. (I haven’t checked Vista.) If you are having trouble, you can select the Start menu and then Help and Support (or press when you’re on the desktop).

    From the Help and Support Center, the first choice under Ask for assistance is Invite a friend to connect to your computer with Remote Assistance. You’ll go through a series of questions, but anyone on Windows Messenger or that you have an e-mail address for can help you.

    Windows XP will send them a file. They double-click on that file and enter the password you have agreed upon some other way. As long as both of you are connected to the Internet, their Windows XP will connect to your Windows XP.

    You get a chat window, or can have a voice conversation. They can request control and work on your computer while you watch. No special software. No third party service.

    I was able to install some software on my mom’s computer in Indiana from my laptop in Colorado. She was able to watch and ask questions through the whole process.

    I think it is extremely valuable to be able to use some form of remote login or access to demonstrate procedures to other people who are having trouble or are learning about their computer.

    Oops, the F1 key got lost. When you enter < or > in the comment box it gets treated like an HTML tag.

    The shortcut to Help and Support Center from the desktop is <F1>.

    Woo Hoo! Congrats on the 100th episode!

    A couple Twitter notes - Look occasionally at the people Joan and Ben follow and consider following them. Twitter works best as a multi-nodal professional learning network.

    Twitter blocked at your school? Use the instant messaging options. I used AIM at first but found Google Talk to be more reliable. I rarely use the Twitter web site now.

    I have also started to track the word smartboard. That way if anyone twitters about a smartboard I will get the message whether I follow them or not. Hopefully that will bring more people into the network. Just message “track smartboard” without the quotes in your twitter.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Ben and Joan for a great show. I share it with everyone I can.
