What's Your IM?

Do you remember using pig Latin to have private conversations with your friends while in earshot of adults? Are your kids, at home or in the classroom, using a different language, instant messaging, or both? Well, times are changing and so are the language and forum in which the conversations are taking place. (Have you heard of 133ksp33k?)

This "Short Session" will take a look at the evolving world of IM and how it's being integrated into the classroom. We'll also look at how video chats are being used in education.

So, come play with the tools F2F (face to face), LOL (laugh out loud), and see how GMTA (great minds think alike).

Session Resources:

• Handout (29k PDF)
• Presentation (475k PDF)
• AOL AIM Software and Resources (website)
• Using AIM on Windows - Video IM (website)
• iChat AV and iSight Lesson Plans (website)
• iSightEd (website)

TTFN (ta-ta for now).

I think this was originally suppose to be a joke, but it's remarkably accurate. Instead of translating AOLSp33k into English, it's the opposite. So when in Rome...
