EdTechTalk has been a webcasting community of practice since 2005. We meet here to talk about education, technology, our practice and any thing else that's on our minds as educators.
Meet teachers new to the site and teachers who have been using it for almost 10 years.
Find out more about our new approach to using the site that we've begun to describe as a school-based ARG (Alternate Reality Game). Paul Allison reports a bit on this experiment on P2PU - See http://youthvoices.net/play He has already give out over 30 badges, issued by P2PU, collected in Mozilla Open Badge Backpacks http://openbadges.org/en-US and displayed on students' profile pages. Check out this example: http://youthvoices.net/users/karinas#badges And find out more about "the grid" http://youthvoices.net/grid

This week marked our first day back after our summer hiatus. We spent the time talking about the learning we did over the summer and how the start of the school year has been going. We got into a brief discussion about how important we are to the atmosphere of the classroom. We will return to this topic at a later date.
