This week’s EdTechRoundup Weekly started with a discussion on what education was going to look like the year 2020. We also discussed who’s doing what at BETT 2009 and a little bit about what people can expect from TeachMeet on the Friday night.
We moved on to discuss wiki textbooks and why they haven’t taken off as well as some ideas for Christmas lessons. 
Many thanks to Joe Dale for sorting out the audio.
Dai Barnes has collated the links on Diigo here.
Unfortunately the two wiki pixies were not in attendance, meaning the ETR wiki page for this week’s show is looking somewhat sparse…
There were a good number of regulars missing from this week’s FlashMeeting - all for good reasons - but it was great to welcome some new faces. We began with a quick plug for David Noble’s Edonis project, which forms part of his Ed.D. research. We then discussed Doug, José & Ian’s involvement in an upcoming Becta-funded Open Source Schools project and issues surrounding that. After this, we moved on to an update on Internet Safety materials, prompted by Louise Jones, and finally we got to the wonder of iPhones and educational uses for the plethora of applications available for it.

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!
