EdTechRoundUp Weekly #88 – #TEDxLondon and #DMLbadges

Doug Belshaw — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 21:24:15 +0000

This week’s podcast is a lot better than last week’s, thank goodness! Doug Belshaw, Dai Barnes, Pete Bell and Nick Dennis were around on Skype to discuss the TEDxLondon event and the launch of DML ‘badges’.

We mentioned Google Art Project right at the end of the discussion but Call Recorder for Skype managed to cut that off. Sorry.

EdTechRoundUp Weekly #87 – How NOT to record a podcast…

Doug Belshaw — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 20:58:24 +0000

The should-know-better award goes to Doug Belshaw this week, who managed to not only get kicked out of Google+ several times, but also managed to record everyone else *except* himself.

As a result, this is a much shorter podcast than usual. Our apologies, we’ll be back to normal (or what substitutes for ‘normal’) soon!

EdTechRoundUp Weekly #86 – ICT curriculum, ALT-C 2011 and more!

Doug Belshaw — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 19:17:02 +0000

We missed a couple of weeks (apologies!) due to various commitments. In addition, this week’s recording is both amusing and frustrating. Amusing due to the fun we had putting it together; frustrating in that the audio recording dropped due to Camtasia being more-than-averagely flaky on Dai’s Mac.

Oh well, you can’t win them all.

EdTechRoundUp Weekly #85 – Flipped thinking and more on Open Badges

Doug Belshaw — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 20:39:33 +0000

Since we’ve relaunched we’ve had different and new people joining us each week on the Google+ hangout, which is great. This week we had Darren, Marc, Nick and Debs sharing their thoughts and opinions on a range of things including Open Badges (again!), Dropbox alternatives and ‘flipped’ classrooms.

Notes (links and quotations) are below for further investigation:

“Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‘over the Internet.’ They don’t bother to mention when criminals use the telephone or the M4, or discuss their dastardly plans ‘over a cup of tea,’ though each of these was new and controversial in their day.” (Douglas Adams)

EdTechRoundUp Weekly #84 – Mozilla Open Badges and assessment

Doug Belshaw — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 20:15:10 +0000

We had a problem with capturing the audio last time around when Doug tried to not only record but stream out the audio. This week we not only managed to sort it properly (thanks Dai!) and also captured the links. Epic win.

Our weekly Sunday night discussions will once again go out as ‘EdTechRoundUp Weekly’. This episode is therefore #84.

We’re back with weekly Google+ Hangouts!

Doug Belshaw — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 17:54:59 +0000

As a bit of experiment we recorded last week’s Google+ Hangout and have added it to the podcast feed. We’re aware of some quality issues but we’d love to hear your feedback!
