EdTechRoundup Weekly #15 – Learner voice and Internet filtering (again!)

Note: Dai mentions that this is ETR 16 but please be assured that this is actually ETR 15! ;-)

Dai Barnes steered us through this week’s meeting. We discussed the potential of educational technology with regard to ‘learner voice’ (sometimes called ’student’ or ‘pupil’ voice), the age-old problem of Internet filtering, as well as some asides on active learning software and why teachers should be able to ‘Bluecast’ files to multiple mobile devices quickly and easily. :-)
