EdTechWeekly

EdTechWeekly is currently on hiatus, but when active is a live, interactive webcast discussion of the latest topics of interest to the educational technology community.

The show is hosted by Jeff Lebow, Dave Cormier, Jennifer Maddrell, and John Schinker. Guest hosts are also common. The live webcast takes place on Sundays at 4pmPDT / 7pmEDT / 2300 GMT (global times). To listen live, click on the Participate Live link.

After each show, the audio and/or video recording, chat log, and list of links will be published on EdTechTalk.com.

For a while back in 2010-2011, we used Wikispaces to keep track of guests and show notes. With the demise of Wikispaces, we exported those pages and have attached them here. Not that they'll be useful to anyone, but at least they still exist.
