Week 1 without Jeff ... In a special EdTechWeekly, guests Bud Hunt and Zac Chase share their perspectives on two events impacting the education community this week, including the recent TEDxNYED conference and the funding crisis facing the National Writing Project. Dave and John kept the conversation moving while Jen just struggled to remember the passwords to post the audio. Join us next week for the "Dave and Jen Show" to discuss Dave's research ideas.
Join John, Dave, Jeff and Jen for episode 150 of EdTechWeekly! In a new format that is oddly like the old format, they review the latest news and resources in education and technology.
This week we spoke with Mary Engstrom, Associate Director of Extended Learning Services, about plans for a revised program for supporting faculty developing online courses at The University of Montana. The proposed plan is available at: http://instructionaldesigning.org/content/draft-faculty-development-process. Please feel free to comment.
Due to a few technical difficulties, we didn't get too far into the Bridget Arend article, http://www.thejeo.com/Archives/Volume6Number1/Arendpaper.pdf. However, Mary gives a nice overview of the key points, and we have tabled the 'discussion on discussions' for an upcoming session. Some good notes included in the chat transcript a little later on.
What started as the usual news and edtech resources winds into a "what do we want to do in the show" discussion. We just want to say to those who hand on to the end, "We're sorry!"
