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 'pilot episode' of EdTech Talk, we try to frame the issues of educational technologies. We discussed what educational technology means, discussed some of the most commonly used open source and commercial pieces of educational software, and how this medium of homegrown interactive webcasting can support those using ed tech.Shortly after we ended the show, Buthaina skyped in and the real interactive fun began in EdTech Talk#1, part2.

Correction: We mischaracterized the Hieroglyphics Moodle a bit -it is completely open at this point and anyone can poke around, but the actual courses will not be free...and there aren't any quizzes there like we suggested. More info at this thread in the Moodle.org forums.
