In a special 5th Anniversary episode of EdTechTalk, Dave and Jeff reminisce about the first webcast on the EdTechTalk channel back on June 5, 2005, as well as events that have shaped the community ever since. John, Doug, Jennifer, and the folks in the chat room add their favorite ETT stories and milestones.

 The whole EdTechWeekly gang is back together (at least for one round), as Jeff joins John, Dave, and Jen to review the latest news and resources influencing education and technology.

This week, Dave celebrated Canada's hockey victory while Jeff waxed philosophically about his last show before a 21-week hiatus. John was just along for the ride.
