The Goals Show

September 26, 2007

Today was our Goal Show! We began by discussing our K-12 Online Presentation. We're asking you, the EdTechTalk community to tell us what the community means to you in an audio recording in order to represent the community for our K-12 online presentation.

Please send your record your audio and send it to us as at 21 [at] edtechtalk.com. You can also just post a link to the audio via the comment field on this post. In your recording, please answer the following questions: Who are you? How did you hear about ETT? What does the community mean to you? What is the most important thing that you have learned as part of the ETT community? Thanks!

In the goals part of our show, we went on to discuss why goals are important and then to discuss our goals, and the goals of our audience. Lisa Durff, Lee Baber, Alice Mercer, Joshua Sommermeyer, and Jeff Lebow posted their goals up on the EdTechTalk forums.

For the next two weeks, we'll be discussing and creating our K-12 Online Conference presentation. Please come by for conversation about online presentation creation.
