We welcomed Mathew Needleman who discussed Video in the Classroom.
Maria was unable to join us due to her mother's birthday (happy
birthday to you!), Alice discussed attending Mathew's presentation at CUE last
week. Her blog post is here it includes links to his presentation. We touched on...
Our guest, Jennifer Dorman, gave lots of great information about using RSS in education.
We defined RSS feeds (sorta like a magazine subscription, but online);
We discussed why you would want to use it as a teacher, and in your classroom;
We shared examples of how we use it (sometimes for ourselves and
our professional development, sometimes to automate information given
to and from students); and
One issue that came up was the lack of RSS on content pages geared towards students. We've used feeds from Highlights, and Discovery Science.
If you have other elementary-age content that has an RSS feed, please
share it on in our Diigo group, or here as a comment. Thanks!
I'm joined by Alex Ragone, Cheryl Oakes, Cathy Evanoff, Lisa Durff, Susan Ettenheim and Alice Mercer as we consider some questions that Alex has for edtechtalk webcasters ahead of a k12onlineconference presentation he has coming up.
Come and listen as we talk about our projects. This is our Back to School Special. The It's Elementary Team; Lisa Durff, Maria Knee, Alice Mercer and Jose Rodriguez. As the Webcastathon begins to wind down the Chat Room was buzzing. We had some of our regulars and special visitors from New Zealand. Hope you enjoy the show!
It was another great show with James Gates of Tipline - Gates? Computer Tips
taking us through Moodle, and it's features. Jim was excited and
passionate about this subject as you'll be able to tell from the show
audio.
Our Diigo links
for this show include some school sites using moodle. Many have guest
sign-in that will let you look at pages without editing privileges.
Please join us on September 24th, 2007 for a discussion of social networks in Education with John Pederson.
