Holiday Shopping Guide and Plans for 2009
December 18, 2008
Two quick rounds of geeky holiday wishes and then some goal setting for 2009.
We wish you all a happy holiday season and look forward to getting back together in 2009.
Our next show will be January 8, 2009 at 1:00pm (NOTE NEW TIME).
Dave, John, Jeff, and Jen wind down the year with a few new links, a reflection of what was in 2008, and what may come in 2009 and beyond.
On a snowy, windy night last week, Dr. Sondra Perl, Lehman College, CUNY, NY and five National Writing Project (NWP) teachers from rural sites joined us to describe their journeys as teachers of Holocaust studies. We took a look at their experiences in 10-day seminars that Dr. Perl
led this summer and last summer. We learned more about how these teachers have integrated teaching
about the Holocaust into their work with students. Perhaps you will be
inspired by these teachers to begin your own journey into studying and teaching about the Holocaust.
EdTechTalk is a community of people interested in the use of technology to improve teaching and learning at all levels of education throughout the world. As a Worldbridges community, it embraces the values of collaboration and inclusiveness. The primary activity of the community is the production of a number of live, interactive webcasts. These programs cover a wide range of topics relating to educational technology. Shows are typically streamed live, and listeners can interact with one another and the show hosts through a text chat. Recordings of the shows are released as podcasts. Participation in the community is encouraged for anyone who has an interest in educational technology. Participation may take many forms, from simply listening to shows produced by the community to more actively working to produce and distribute content for the network.
