Week
of September 6-12, 2008

 

Hello EdTechTalkers:

 

Welcome to the this week's edition of the
EdTechTalk (ETT) Weekly Newsletter. The past week Dave Cormier and Jeff Lebow
recorded a presentation as part of 'eFest 2008' in New Zealand. The
recording can be found at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/700715
and
is a fantastic overview of the great offerings here at the EdTechTalk site. If
you are a new or familiar face you will want to make time for viewing the
recording. 

 

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.

be inviting you to have you join our students as they begin to publish their
images, videos, text, and audio at Youth Voices. Please plan to join us.
