EdTechTalk Newsletter
Welcome to this week's EdTechTalk (ETT) Newsletter! This week, Lisa Parisi, Jose Rodriguez, and Lisa Durff met in the Discovery Educator Network site in Second Life to chat about EdTechTalk. Our own Jeff Lebow showed up virtually to record the whole discussion. You can see it here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2094277 As for our regular shows, there weren't many but those that started already were good. If you missed any of them, be sure to check out the recordings and chat logs on our website. You can also subscribe to the EdTechTalk newsletter via RSS feed and have them all delivered directly to your feedreader!! The link to subscribe to the feed is at the bottom of every ETT newsletter--see below.
