Lee and Clint are joined on the podcast this week by www.freetech4teachers.com award winning blogger Richard Byrne. The discussion this week starts about a compare and contrasts of Professional Wrestling in New England and the deep south. Clint reviews and discusses seeing Explosions in the Sky at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA.
Richard discusses the release of Google Earth for Chrome and the implications that it can have in the classroom. You can find his www.freetech4teachers.com Blog post and screencast tutorial of Google Earth.
This leads into a roundtable discussion on the future of virtual reality in the classroom. Richard talks about how important it is to have meaningful content paired with virtual reality. Just like anything else in learning, one must have context
This leads into a discussion about what is new with the #Microsoft EDU and the answer is no one knows. . . Microsoft designed a really nice flyer, but it is hard to tell what the session is about. Lee was hopeful that Microsoft is ready to make a real move into providing some creative content that can be used by students.
Then the gang moves on to discussion of the Electronic Freedom Foundation's recent report on Student Privacy. Data mining, FERPA, and student privacy concerns are something the edtech field have to face on a daily basis. Who/what programs can you trust, if anyone?
Finally the guys break down a new startup, GigEd. The startup is designed to connect educators with companies that create educational software or need general advice from those in the classroom. Mark Phillips, the founder of GigEd, states the service is set to launch on March 8.
Big thanks to Richard Byrne, @rmbyrne, for taking the time! See you next week!
