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.

This is the first of several edtech related conversations that were part of Worldbridges New Years Webcastathon.

Scott and Jeff reflect on their year in podcasting/webcasting and Will looks at the evolution of edtech this past year and the challenges that lay ahead.

Eric Langhorst of the Speaking of History podcast joins us for a several minutes of discussing what he's doing in his 8th grade history class followed by an hour of fiery discussion on the importance of knowing exact historical dates. The real action begins about 30 minutes into the show.
Today, Jeff managed to pry himself away from the computer long enough to enjoy the face to face world of edtech at the 2005 Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference. Brought my IRiver and was able to capture a couple of interesting discussions. One is with a member of the Moodle development team about upcoming integration of blogging and podcasting, and another is with Kathy Malsbenden and Rich Chretien about their open source initiatives in New Hampshire.
