Week of April 11 to April 17

Welcome to this week's edition of the EdTechTalk (ETT) Weekly Newsletter! While the big news around ETT continues to be the upcoming Earthcast, the return from Easter break started strong with a great conversation about interactive whiteboards on Monday at It's Elementary and effective use of COWs with Jeremy Davis on Tuesday at WOW2.0.
