ETRU WeeklyThis week’s meeting was led by Dai Barnes. In this week’s meeting we discussed ‘Getting more bang for your buck’. This looked at the pros and cons of purchasing equipment outright vs leasing, buying netbooks and whether or not Linux could be used as a successful and free OS alternative in schools.

EdTechRoundUp Weekly #19 – Edtech videos, indispensible tools, copyright, and iPhone apps in education

ETRU WeeklyThis week’s meeting was led by Dai Barnes. We had a packed agenda to get through, mostly contributed by Dai himself! The majority of our conversation centred around the use of children in videos calling for educational change, the ins-and-outs of copyright legislation in UK schools, and iPhone apps that are useful in education. Joe Rowing had a quick rant about RocketScience and Dave Stacey wanted our opinions on netbooks in classrooms. All good stuff! :-)
