Ending their summer hiatus, Dave, John, and Jen kick off a new format for EdTechWeekly that offers a deeper look into a smaller number of topics each week. This week, the focus is on learning environments. Dave shares links and insight into the new PLENK2010 MOOC [6] (beginning this week) considering personal learning environments and networks. As a postmortem to the demise of most free Ning accounts [7], Jen asks the group to consider the implications of teachers using free vs controlled online environments. John shares his perspective on using Google Apps [8] in a school setting. Join as next Sunday to meet our first (of several) new guest hosts!
