EdTechRoundUp Weekly #27 – Google Sketchup, presenting on ‘collaboration’ and open textbooks.

Published on 17 May 2009 in Podcasts. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , .

ETRU WeeklyThis week’s meeting was led by Bob Hill. On the agenda was the educational uses of Google Sketchup, the best ways to practice what you preach when presenting on ‘collaboration’, and the concept of ‘Open Source Textbooks’. The latter, Stuart Meldrum has been keen to point out, is not a wiki textbook, but a collaboratively-authored hard-copy effort!

ETRU Hub and Forum

Published on 22 February 2009 in General. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Eagle-eyed visitors may have noticed two new tabs to the top of this blog. At the previously-mentioned EdTechRoundUp FlashMeeting, we discussed ways in which we could help develop more of a community around ETRU (as we shall henceforth abbreviate ourselves to!)

We’ve two new sections, both of which anyone can participate in and through:

EdTechRoundUp Hub

etru-hub

This syndicates blog posts from those part of the ETRU community that are on topics related to educational technology. It won’t syndicate all your blog posts (just the ones you choose), so if you’d like to have yours featured on the ETRU Hub, please get in touch with Doug (@dajbelshaw) who’s organizing that. :-)

EdTechRoundUp Forum

etru-forum

To encourage those who listen to the podcast to interact with the ETRU community, the Forum has been set up. Agenda items from the wiki shall be posted so questions can be asked and conversations continued!

Please let us know what you think about the new additions. :-D
