ETR Weekly #2 - How to use audio effectively in education

ETR WeeklyThis week’s discussion centred around the use of audio - including podcasting - in education. There were a good number of people at the meeting, and some experts in the field, such as Joe Dale and Mark Pentleton.

The agenda for the meeting is available on the ETR wiki, along with a link to a replay of the FlashMeeting itself, if you want the unedited version including video!

Our apologies for not releasing our discussions for a while - we’re busy people! You can listen/view our meetings in between ETR 1 and 2 via the Meetings page on the wiki.

EdTechRoundup Weekly Special - Meeting with TALMOS representative

FlashMeeting - TALMOSLast Sunday’s weekly EdTechRoundup meeting was a special one. It came in response to an issue that surrounded a blog post by Doug Belshaw and EdTechRoundup Podcast 5.

In that blog post and podcast, Doug made some comments about TALMOS Virtual Learning Environment to which the company behind the product took exception. More details here.

Mike Jones from Core Projects & Technologies (UK) Ltd. accepted our offer for TALMOS to put their side of the story. We’re not releasing it as a podcast as the issue probably won’t be of interest to most of our listeners. However, we thought it important that we make available in unedited format the discussion that took place.

ETR Weekly #1 - How to get started in the edublogosphere

ETR Weekly

We’ve decided as a group that our weekly Sunday meetings contain enough ideas and useful discussion to start getting ‘out there’ as podcasts. Ironically, we had a few problems which delayed getting the the first EdTechRoundup Weekly show out until today. There’s been another meeting since the one below - this one’s actually from 15th June!

Normally we’ll endeavour to get the links put in our del.icio.us account, but for now, and for the sake of speed, they’re listed below in the order they came in the discussion:

Oh, and the Mac applications Lisa never got round to mentioning in the podcast itself were Handbrake and Comic Life. Both wonderfully useful applications! :-D
