Welcome to Let's Talk Technology !
Let's Talk Technology is a friendly community of educators in southeast Michigan who meet 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. This year we are also trying a Moodle site to support our activities. When in doubt, google us!
Next meeting: Saturday, Nov 7, 2009 at Jane's house in Washington Township, 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon
Topic: The topic will again be Diigo, http://diigo.com this time in person with Laura Cummings, Director of MACUL’s Special Interest Group-TeleLearning (SIGTele). I’ve attached her handout so you can sign up for an account before the meeting if you get a chance. In any event, be sure to bring some favorite websites that have anything to do with online learning. Please think about additional topics you would like to explore!
We will continue to use our Let's Talk...Moodle site to share resources through forums and activities. Log in as a guest to poke around or create an account to participate in the activities.
Meeting notes and notes from the conference will be posted on the Moodle course.
Fee: $5/meeting for non-members or pay annual dues of $25
Snacks: (fruit) and (cold drinks)
It would be helpful if you could let us know if you are planning to attend. Please visit the Nov Doodle poll
(no relation to Moodle, just a cool, free Web2.0 app) where you can indicate whether or not you plan to attend. (Please RSVP by April 27 so we know how many to expect)

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.
