EdTechRoundUp Weekly #25 – How to become an ‘expert’, SMART tables & Pico projectors.

Published on 26 April 2009 in Podcasts. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , .

ETRU WeeklyThis week’s meeting was led by Doug Belshaw. After a quick discussion about what constitutes an ‘expert’ in the field of educational technology and how to become one (see this blog post) we moved onto Mary Cooch‘s presentation at MoodleMoot. We finished with some discussion of hardware: Tom Barrett told us about the SMART table he’s got on loan in his classroom, then Doug told us about the Optoma Pico projector in which he’s invested! :-)

Many thanks to Tony Sheppard for grabbing the audio from the FlashMeeting!

EdTechRoundup – podcast episode 5

Published on 21 May 2008 in Podcasts. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , .

EdTechRoundup - podcast episode 5The fifth podcast in the series by the EdTechRoundup team is a little different. This time around we’ve recorded a special discussion we had around the subject of VLEs and the Scottish GLOW network during one of our Sunday night FlashMeetings. Everyone is invited to these and the podcast features some of the core members as well as a number of those who had dropped in for the first time.

As a result of the more free-form discussion, the podcast weighs in at around the 55 minute mark. There’s some great insights from Moodle expert Ian Usher and, as always, input from a diverse range of educators. :-)
