This 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! 
Many thanks to Joe Rowing for grabbing the audio from the FlashMeeting!

We’ve decided as a group that our weekly Sunday meetings contain enough ideas and useful discussion to start getting ‘out there’ as podcasts. Ironically, we had a few problems which delayed getting the the first EdTechRoundup Weekly show out until today. There’s been another meeting since the one below – this one’s actually from 15th June!

Normally we’ll endeavour to get the links put in our del.icio.us account, but for now, and for the sake of speed, they’re listed below in the order they came in the discussion:
Oh, and the Mac applications Lisa never got round to mentioning in the podcast itself were Handbrake and Comic Life. Both wonderfully useful applications! 
EdTechRoundup is a place where a group of UK-based educators come together for discussion and collaboration around the use of technology in education. We believe in pedagogically-sound uses of educational technology, but don’t believe in ramming Web 2.0 (or anything else for that matter) down people’s throats…
We’d like more people to join us in the conversation – let’s use education to improve technology technology to improve education!
