ETT Newsletter: Week of August 31, 2008

Hello EdTechTalkers:

 

Welcome to the first edition of the new editors' EdTechTalk (ETT) Weekly Newsletter.  Here in the Western Hemisphere, we are starting off a new school year. This time of year always seems to bring excitement and anticipation for new learning as will the new year in ETT.  Come listen to all of your old friends and make some new friends.  We have quite a few new shows starting up as well as some Webcast Academy interns discussing show ideas. Be sure to tune in. There's plenty of learning to go around. 

 
EdTechTalk is a community of people interested in the use of technology to improve teaching and learning at all levels of education throughout the world. As a Worldbridges community, it embraces the values of collaboration and inclusiveness. The primary activity of the community is the production of a number of live, interactive webcasts. These programs cover a wide range of topics relating to educational technology. Shows are typically streamed live, and listeners can interact with one another and the show hosts through a text chat. Recordings of the shows are released as podcasts. Participation in the community is encouraged for anyone who has an interest in educational technology. Participation may take many forms, from simply listening to shows produced by the community to more actively working to produce and distribute content for the network.
