I am pleased to announce the second of our EdTechRoundup podcasts is available for you to listen to. In this episode yours truly is at the helm alongside John Johnston. It was a great fun making the show and I was delighted to be working with John as he was instrumental in getting this blog off the ground in the early days.
In the ICT Buffet we explain about a range of current projects we are involved in with our classes. We discuss Voices of The World, Tumblr and the ManyVoices Twitter writing project.
John and I spend some time exploring the ways that we are using Google tools in our classroom and I explain how we have collaborated on a Google spreadsheet together. John explains how he is using digital still cameras to create small videos as a way to create a record of learning in science investigations.

I hope that you can find the time to listen – all of your feedback, thoughts and comments are always much appreciated.
Hi Neil – many thanks for listening to the show. I hope you can take something practical away with you.
As for logging into web based apps – it is a matter of being selective about what you use. For Google Docs there is an education edition which is well worth a look. http://tinyurl.com/yuqsd9 The children could have individual logins or use a class login, we were using G Spreadsheets this week under a single login / multiple machines – works fine. Last year I was using a class login for a Flickr account.
Listening to your podcast with John, wishing I’d got as far as your guys have…
Now I’m installed as Headmaster, I’m excited to get web2 off the ground in my school.
One question: how do you work around children logging into web-based apps?
