Week of May 2, 2009 - May 8, 2009
Welcome to this week's edition of the EdTechTalk (ETT) Newsletter! The highlight this past week was the interview by Steve Hargadon in Elluminate of Michael Horn, co-author of Disrupting Class and the Executive Director (Education) of Innosight Institute, a non-profit think tank devoted to applying the theories of disruptive innovation to problems in the social sector. This was a great event for free professional development. EdTechTalk shows are also live events that make great events to share with your colleagues and ignite conversations about learning wherever you are in the world. Check out our frontpage for the calendar of live events from any of our eleven shows or follow the links here to the shows which have been posted. A Week in Review Our conversation with Mary Madden from Pew Internet about data and research National Geographic Photojournalist Karin Muller joined us on April 28, 2009 to share her incredible initiative, Take2 Videos. Karin places herself in conflict areas to provide high-definition footage to students so that they can create documentaries and shorts.This is an opportunity for our students to interact with real people about gritty issues.
