21st Century Learning #43: One Year Anniversary and Jeff Lebow from Worldbridges

EdTechTalk: 21st Century Learning #43
One Year Anniversary and Jeff Lebow from Worldbridges
May 15, 2007

This week we celebrated our one year anniversary, woot! We have managed to get to our 43rd episode, only taking a few weeks off for vacation last summer. We reflect on what it has been like, and bring in our mentor Jeff Lebow, founder of Worldbridges to discuss 21st Century Learning and EdTechTalk.com

We also discussed the recent NY Times article about schools getting rid of their laptop programs. We gave some of our own critiques and discussed how schools could be more successful with 1:1 initiatives. 

Next week, we'll be discussing faculty professional development with Jeff Ritter, from St. John's School in Houston Texas. See you all then.

[arvind] The fears are largely unfounded, we need to let kids go a little on the laptops
[arvind] too much concern places on monitoring/administration of the programs
[arvind] and not the prof dev of faculty and shift in pedagogy

Just listened to  your latest podcast on my iPod and would love to participate in a Principal, teacher, tech guy/girl webcast or interview! I am an elementary principal in Missouri. I read Scott McCleod's blogs and listen to his podcast also.

Melinda, thanks for your comment. We'd love to talk to you about this. I just added your blog to my feed reader. I'm always amazed when I come across principals who are able to find the time to blog (and now maybe webcast). Thanks for listening to the show, we'll definitely be in touch.
