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.
Join Jen, Vicki and Cheryl as we chat with Miguel Guhlin, Scott MacLeod, Pete Reilly and Doug Johnson. Sharon Peters is on vacation in Costa Rica but shares her Wows of the week via email before she headed out to the rainforest. She is really enjoying Wikieconomics.
Cheryl opened the show with the wrong date for EST, but was correct for Terry Freedman's time zone! Then Skype dropped Doug and when she went to drag him back to the conversation, SKPYE crashed. All in one evening. By the end of the show Cheryl was in an echo chamber again. Only to find out that Nicecast had jumped settings and instead of recording one mic, was picking up multiple inputs. So, hopefully by tomorrow all the settings will check out.
Enjoy the great administrators who are behind the scenes and encouraging the use of Web 2.0 tools. The bottom line I will keep listening to teachers and students and will make day to day evaluations. One size does not fit all!
Thanks to all 28 people in the chat room, all the folks on SKPYE and all of you who download this podcast. There is great stuff! Over and out. Cheryl
EdTechTalk: 21st Century Learning #36
A Conversation with Sarah Heard
Klingenstein Fellow, Teachers College, Columbia University
March 13, 2007
This week Alex discussed graduate school at the Klingenstein Center at Teachers College with veteran History Teacher, Sarah Heard. We discussed the Klingenstein program and Sarah's experiences during her graduate program.
We were joined on this wide-ranging podcast by 6th grade teacher and Western Mass. Writing Project tech liaison, Kevin Hodgson and Area 3 (California) Writing Project tech liaison Gail Desler, as well as Ken Stein, a high school teacher in New York City who is just beginning to
bring his students into YouthVoices.net. We talk about podcasts, blogging, and many other 21st Century literacies. And we are joined by many others, including Alice Mercer, also from Northern California. In the end we welcomed teachers from New York, Massachusetts, California, Virginia, Florida, and Taiwan. We invite you to also join the conversation!
Kevin passed along these links that he mentioned about their Making Connections project (which is closed to the public):
