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.
In this episode, Dave Cormier & Jeff Lebow begin anew by reintroducing EdTechTalk and some of the basic elements of eductional technology today. For newcomers, this is a good show to start with to get oriented and for frequent listeners and opportunity to make sure you’re up to speed. Topics discussed include open source software and philosophy, blogging, podcasting, rss, content management systems, and web 2.0. Dave & Jeff also announce the launch of their eductional consulting business and Worldbridges hosting of the live award show for the 2005 Edublogger Awards.

David Warlick and Terry Freedman
were kind enough to drop in at edtechtalk for a chat. It was a wide
ranging conversation with two of the real professionals in the field of
bringing technology to the classroom. Over the 81 minute conversation
we discussed esafety, how to approach the administrators with a new
media plan, ADD and technology, elephant mating practices, the relative
value of a national curriculum, the state of knowledge in the world
today and a bunch of other neat stuff.
A great discussion with Barbara Ganley. Barbara discusses her experiences using blogging with her students and shares her insights into the use of new media and social software in the classroom. For the first time during a webcast we are joined by a remote classroom, as Will Richardson and his Executive Ed.D class at Seton Hall tune in early on. This is also the first time we used teleconferencing as a webcast listening option. All in all, a successful webcast of technical experimentation and great edtech discussion.
