Title: Chat Transcript
From Christina Cantrill : Hello all. I’ll be back in a bit.
From Peggy George : Hi everyone! :-)
From dannewdoernberg : Hello everyone!
From Peggy George : I always look forward to your conversations!
From Peggy George : of course
From Peggy George : hahaha!!!
From Peggy George : Always great to hear from Troy!!
From Peggy George : Where are the WestEd people located?
From Christina Cantrill : In San Fran
From dannewdoernberg : Irisa and Bob are Sf, Heather in Michigan
From Christina Cantrill : Right - what Dan said
From Peggy George : thanks!
From Troy Hicks : Hi, Peggy!
From Peggy George : Hi Troy :-) Great to see you!
From Christina Cantrill : Here’s a document Michelle King from Western PA WP created re: why annotate in the first place: https://s15138.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Why_-Infographic.pdf … I love this kind of focus on why are we doing the in the first place like Jane is describing … how does it deepen reading, writing, thinking.
From Peggy George : thanks Christina!
From Peggy George : That’s a great document!!! Really captures the essence of annotating! Love infographics!
From Christina Cantrill : :)
From Christina Cantrill : Jane — it’s not dissim
From Christina Cantrill : it’s not dissimilar in Philly. Still such low connectivity in many of these old classrooms.
From Peggy George : that’s always so sad to hear! we should do better for our students and teachers!
From Troy Hicks : yes. how do we help them move into critical reading practices, using the tool to its full advantages?

From Christina Cantrill to Paul Allison (Privately) :
From Troy Hicks : with the more “casual” approach, do you still find that engagement is strong?
From Troy Hicks : this is always my fear... wanting to give enough direction and scaffolding without the typical “post once, reply twice” model
From Peggy George : Great question Troy!!
From Peggy George : seems like the notifications might help to keep them engaged
From dannewdoernberg : I was really impressed with the commenting style of the commenters in Heather’s document; the conversations were very natural (much like face-to-face), all the commenters understood they didn’t need to (for example) repeat the “topic line” like an email.
From dannewdoernberg : Were they all experienced with NowComment, or was that modeled and taught to them?
From Troy Hicks : Thanks, Peggy!
From Heather Howlett : Dan, we model and provide feedback to get them there
From Troy Hicks : Good point, Dan. Again, thinking about the reading itself and the annotation task/purpose.
From Troy Hicks : Do you provide the with sentence starters/templates for response?
From Peggy George : It’s really helpful to see this example!!!
From Troy Hicks : Have you done examples where the video is an author reading his/her work and then have the text underneath? Annotating the video and connecting to the text could be powerful.
From Peggy George : I would love that as a student!
From Peggy George : haha Troy!! :-) cut to the chase!
From Troy Hicks : 😊
From Troy Hicks : Well, that is the struggle. no matter how many “best practices” in online discussion I use, it always comes back to carrots and sticks.
From Peggy George : absolutely!!
From Troy Hicks : Don’t know how to make it better or more useful.
From Troy Hicks : It’s not like an organic dialogue on twitter or a list serv.
From Troy Hicks : it is, at the end of the day, still “class”
From Peggy George : is it because the original text/artifact just doesn’t attract their attention enough to want to have a conversation about it?
From Peggy George : I would worry that that kind of analysis might make them reluctant to share
From Peggy George : Thanks everyone for allowing me to be a fly on the wall! You’re all so inspiring!!

This clarity of purpose is important. The “how’s” of digital work can be hard enough. It’s good to be clear with stakeholders about the “why’s” of our work online.

I was happy to hear Bob start with this. One of my goals is to collect as many use cases as possible for NowComment. It’s great that WestEd is so clear about what they use on NowComment and what they don’t — and about who they are working with.
