EDUtalk encourages people to talk about education, using mobile and web technologies. You too can post audio. You can do this in several ways.
Audio files can be emailed, audio recordings on the Web can be tagged 'edutalk' and be picked up and posted here automatically It is simple to post to EDUtalk from mobile devices.
EDUtalk is open to contributions from anyone on any aspect of education.
EDUtalk is organised by David Noble (@parslad) and John Johnston (@johnjohnston) who are happy to provide help and information.
There are three main components to EDUtalk:
Fascinating discussion. Agree so much with Margaret and John about the importance of fostering e-development without the spectre of "assessment" which can have such a stultifying effect.
I liked Veronica’s idea of scanning candidates’ work so that marking can take place but not on the physical paper.
With regard to J & M’s comments about home access, I think also that we are having now to consider not just who has and hasn’t access to the internet, but also who has equipment and a connection that can cope with the data we want to exchange – and I am talking about teachers here too!
