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

Published on 11 February 2009 in Podcasts. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , .

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. :-)

Many thanks to Sinclair Mackenzie for grabbing the audio from the FlashMeeting!
