Welcome to Let's Talk Technology !

 

 

Let's Talk Technology was  a friendly community of educators in southeast Michigan who met monthly to share, explore and apply a variety of emerging and fascinating technologies for the K-12 classroom (and everyday life). Let's Talk was started in 1997 through a MACUL grant and has explored classroom use of geocaching, podcasting, digital cameras, Universal Design for Learning and lately, Web 2.0 in the broadest definition. 

 

One of the hazards of exploring emerging technologies is trying to use all of them. As a result, our web home has evolved from a standard web page to a blog, and then to this wiki as well as to a variety of web based experiments. At the moment this PeanutButter wiki serves us well as a platform for collaboration, allowing members to update the site as needed. We are also tried a Moodle site to support our activities. When in doubt, google us!

Hello friends, Let's Talk Technology is on hiatus for the time being. Turns out many of our members have found other ways to explore the worlds of emerging educational technology without monthly face to face meetings. Don't give up on us though, we may be back!

 

In the meantime, feel free to browse through the links below from some of our past meetings. 

 

It looks like this site will be reclaimed by PBworks eventually. I will try to archive the goodness found here - if any of the links still work or products still exist. - Not much of a shelf life for some of these!

Note to editors:  The editing may be a little intimidating at first - try the "Wiki Style" guide at the top or bottom of the page, it explains everything. (Feel free to correct Carol's spelling.) If someone else is editing the page, PB Wiki will ask you to wait until the page is available so there is no chance of writing over someone elses work. If you have questions check with Carol, Jane or Laura or take your best shot, we can always go back to a previous version!

 

Request - when you write and edit this wiki, please refer to yourself by name (rather than "I suggest" I would write "Carol I. suggests"- if you are Carol).

 

If you have sites or handouts to share, try to bring them on a USB drive or CD so we can pop them into the wiki quickly.
