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.
If you or your school district are looking at doing things differently for potential drop-outs, this is the show you have been waiting for! Join us as we talk with Mike Muir about his new online Virtual Problem Based Learning Project!
Join Alice, Bob and Cheryl as we interview Mike Muir, The Citadel Group, and professor at University of Maine, Farmington, who is on the ground floor of an exciting program for an online high school completion program for challenged learners, disaffected youth and students needing a different path for graduation!
Meet Erick Gordon the new director of the New York City Writing Project and the founder of the Student Press Initiative.
Enjoy the perspectives of a couple of the digital photographers who are in Chris
Sloan’s school in Salt Lake City, where they had just published their
student magazine, the Bulldog Press on MagCloud for the first time.
Warm to the thoughts of David
Pulling from LSU-Eunice who gives us an update on how
his students I-Search papers. In particular we invite you to take a look at this one by Vonda
Guidry: “Potential Health Effects of Food Contamination From the BP Oil Spill.” Paul Allison’s high school students and Vonda had a productive dialogue in the comments under her discussion post.
And of course you don't want to miss Margaret Simon's elementary
school students who have publishing on Voices on the Gulf — and who now
have other ideas, as Margaret explains:
Things are good and busy. Our gifted students present a historical
play each year for first graders in the parish at The Shadows, a
plantation home on the bayou. There is much involved in preparing and
performing, so little else goes on.
My student Kaylie is working on making Clover the Plover
a book. She is illustrating it using Paint on the Promethean board. I
hope to publish it on Lulu as a fundraiser for the Gulf.
And
more! Why don’t you drop by too? We invite you to join us every Wednesday at http://EdTechTalk.com/live at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific USA (World Times).
