We meet here to talk about education, technology, our practice and the contexts we work in. You can come too. Check the schedule, show up and go to the chatroom.
After the show, we were skyped by several listeners and the conversation continued. Topics included more details about new Google offerings, Hurricane Katrina and its educational effects on the region and beyond, and an assortment of the EdTech items.

A ‘retro’ show that featured many of the audio challenges from our earlier episodes. Fortunately, we were able to salvage enough audio from our discussion with Buth & Rita to learn about their very cool interactive Skype project they are doing with their classes in Argentina & Kuwait.
